Cancer Sun and Aries Moon Tribe

Keywords

Sociable; sensitive; restless; impatient; a tenacious survivor; moody; shrewd; insightful active imagination; individualistic; creative and heroic spirit; poetic; feminine but feisty; defensive but forthright.

Combination Theme

Cancer energy is an emotionally sensitive one. Cancer’s symbol is a Crab with a hard shell.  It’s an animal with outer protective armor that moves in sideways motion to handle its threats and enemies. Aries, on the other hand, is the Ram.  It’s an animal that bursts forward, thrusting its horns and head into the heart of its adversaries. When the energies combine, it produces a Cancer Sun person who is more willing to take risks, to act quickly, to say things before thinking, and possibly, it gets you into trouble now and then. Unlike most Cancerians, your temper can surface often, but it comes in short bursts and quickly cools as fast as it comes. There is a constant competition between being the caring, cautious, and often fearful energy of Cancer and the Ram-things-through fearless energy of Aries.

Strengths

Quick, shrewd mind with an exceptional memory; ability to use both receptivity and self-assertion to good effect; individualistic approach to life; emotional commitment to personal values and relationships; sensitivity to people's needs; social flair; original, magnetic style.

Weaknesses

Self-absorption and over-sensitivity to criticism; impatience and sharp tongue when you reach the end of your tether; tendency to hide behind a brisk, authoritative manner when at your most vulnerable; a sort of divine discontent that makes you stir up trouble when there is none.

Relationships

You have a lot of love to give, but you can be demanding, temperamental and quite jealous if you suspect your loved one is not 100% devoted. You are afraid of getting hurt, but still, you thrive on risk - at least a little. Passionate and romantic, you instinctively adore the challenge and excitement of love, but you consciously need commitment and continuity.

This soft-tough dilemma within you may also cause you to swap roles at times: sometimes you feel masculine and assertive, other times feminine and submissive, sometimes you want peace and intimacy, and other times you want a fight - and even then, you are not sure if you want to win or lose! Your emotional life can be a bit of a roller coaster; just try to make sure that you are behind the steering wheel.

You are extremely passionate, and it is in your love life that your very high emotional level will be best expressed. However, while your Cancerian Sun makes you somewhat clinging, your Arien Moon dictates that you need an element of independence and freedom.

Parenthood

A great sense of fun and a marked sentimental streak color your attitude to life - this will certainly rub off on your loved ones. Like all Cancerians, you will be eager to have children, but you will be less prone to worry about them than most people of your Sun sign. But make sure that you recognize the fact that, in due course, they will want to move away from home and live their own lives. Your Aries Moon should help you to understand this and to ensure that you do not feel life is too empty once they are gone. Try to always look to the future and to see life through your children's eyes; otherwise, your Cancerian need for nostalgia and sentimentality could create a generation gap.
