According to Astrology, the signs of the Zodiac that share the same energetic charge, the Primordial Element (Fire, Earth, Air, Water), energize each other, while signs of different Elements may have greater difficulty in relating to each other. Fire follows the motto “it is better to travel with hope than to arrive”; Earth prefers “arrival”; Air works “as a function of intellect and logic”; Water follows "the ebb and flow of the tide of feelings". Together, the four Elements represent opposites but also the complementarity of astrological archetypes.

Compatibility of Cancer and Aries

Cancer is a sign ruled by the Moon, feminine, being considered the most lovable, sensitive and available of the Zodiac signs. Aries, a sign dominated by Mars, is a purely masculine sign, managed by impulse, the will to do and the need for movement and change.

The combination of Cancer and Aries can be one of the most volatile in the Zodiac. When together, these two natives bring out the worst in each other and can easily fall into a vicious cycle of conflict.

Aries faces and tackles problems head-on. This sign sees the world as a place with problems that need to be resolved and battles to be won. Cancer can also be brave and fearless, but his main motivations are to care and protect.

A negative characteristic of Aries is its aggressiveness. The downside of Cancer is the possibility and its positive characteristics, of caring and protecting, turn into self-protection and self-pity, attitudes that irritate Aries.

Aries' aggressiveness can unnerve and frighten Cancer, who will retreat into his protective shell. Although Cancer is gentle and stimulating, the Cancer glyph is the crab, and these animals have aggressive and deadly pincers.

The more a Cancer native withdraws and shows its pincers, the angrier the Aries native becomes, which will cause the Cancer native to sink deeper into their shell and get more and more hurt with their pincers. This cycle is not easy to overcome if both natives engage exclusively in their own reasons, without being able to see the other side's motives.

However, there is a great chemistry between these signs, which can lead to this combination becoming much more likely than you might think at first.

How the Water and Fire Signs Relate to Each Other

Scalding steam or damp fuse. Water has difficulty dealing with Fire's independence; hurt feelings abound. The fiery combination of the Fire and Water Elements can produce explosive moments, charged with turbulent passions and emotional complexities.

Both like to live a permeated existence with strong emotions; the joviality and fires of Fire give way to the inflamed feelings of vigor and excitement of Water. When these feelings are shared, a joyful state of harmony and peace remains between them.

The relationship begins to strain when Water places too heavy demands on Fire, leaving Fire responsible for its happiness and contentment. Regardless, Fire has a lot to give to itself and little to give to relationships, making Water have some difficulty dealing with this lack of surrender. It is in this sense that the relationship between these two elements may result in a slow estrangement, which will end, later, in an eventual rupture.

For a relationship between Fire and Water to survive, both natives need to be more acutely aware of their missing aspects: Fire needs more patience, consideration and sensitivity towards others; and Water needs to get away from itself to see that the world is much bigger than it thinks.

The Water Element and the Astral Personality

The most obvious feature of the Water Element is sensitivity. Unlike the Fire Element signs, which represent activity and faith in “moving mountains”, the Water Element signs represent emotions, sensations, perception. Empathy, intuition, fantasy, dreams, affections, feelings are the field of action par excellence for this personality.

The Water signs are like sponges. When placed in a positive environment, where everything is fine, the person is fine and feels emotionally balanced. If, on the contrary, you live in a toxic environment, charged with negative energies, you feel bad and pessimistic.

A Cold and Wet Element, it is a personality that easily molds itself to people's opinions and to the characteristics of the environment. It collects various influences, but it fails to organize them and give them coherence. It is a whole made up of several loose parts that cannot be linked together.

The Fire Element and the Astral Personality

The Fire native is dynamic, enterprising, physically active and full of energy. Overwhelmed by enthusiasm, it has a tendency to exaggerate and overexpress himself. With a Choleric temperament, the genius of these natives is easily inflamed – everyone who lives with a person of this Element is well aware of their typical outbursts of bad temper.

In emotional terms, Fire's temperament is not very demonstrative and its “dryness” can make it rigid and even insensitive. Impatience makes it ungracious in its expressions, reaching to rudeness and hostility.

It reacts with great intensity to external threats or challenges, and it can be conflictual or even violent. In extreme cases, the combination of lack of sensitivity and the ease with which they express your anger can make them cruel.

Astrology and Compatibility Between Zodiac Signs

Affinities in relationships manifest themselves in a variety of ways and Astrology can give some clues about how the signs interact with each other. Astrology tells us that the greatest compatibilities arise when two people belong to the same astrological element, as they share the same vision of reality and have a similar way of being and living.

Likewise, the attraction between two opposite signs can be instantaneous and the relationship tends to be harmonious. However, this does not mean that there are no affinities between people belonging to signs of different elements. Where there is love, affection and understanding, life happens. How the relationship evolves depends on many factors, astrological profiles being just one of them.

Zodiac Signs Compatibility

This is a result of the astrological profiles of the signs that you chose based on the analysis of the compatibility between temperaments, energies and characteristics. This analysis is based on general data, being valid for all types of relationships, whether love, friendship or work.

A detailed and personalized study is only possible through a synastry report. Although the profiles of the signs allow us to deduce whether they are more or less compatible with each other, only through the birth chart is it possible to make a realistic interpretation and draw true conclusions.

Remember that relationships are influenced by multiple variables, astrological being just one of them. The force of will, commitment and free choice condition the way in which relationships can or cannot progress in a favourable way. Any relationship, regardless of the influence of the stars, can work as long as there is a desire for it to happen, on both sides.
