This one seems the most unlikely partnership possible, but it can be surprisingly productive if approached in the proper way, and the thing that is the most surprising of all is its strength.

Both of you have the Sun in cardinal signs. This means that both of you have the belief that if you don't do it, it won't get done. This ability, if not need, of getting things done yourself is something that you share and you recognize and admire it in the other.

You both realize that you are directing you energies in very different directions, but these directions are not always opposite. The Arian is keen to find things for himself, by direct actions. The Cancerian, on the other hand, doesn't feel the need for this, but does have a great desire to have control over all the things around him. Cancerians not only put down roots they actively dig foundations. They want to look after things, which means looking after them their way, and making sure that the creative and directing energy come only from themselves. It is their belief that being in control of what you do is the only way to get it done if you want the result the way you envision it. An Arian can see and appreciate this in the Cancerian, and it is the Arian's personal drive, energy and confidence in their abilities that appeal to the Cancerian.

This mutual appreciation of forcefulness may alone be enough to turn an acquaintance into an affair, after all, the Arian can only show their admiration for the others energies by physical demonstration, because they don't work any other way. Cancerian's can't help but be flattered that someone as obviously sure and certain of their opinions as the Aries is directing his/her energies their way.

The problem then becomes one of timing. Cancer has a much longer view than an Aries, and is likely to be considering the beginning of the relationship as a prelude to a deeper, more meaningful one. Marriage is always a possibility in a Cancerian relationship of any kind. There is forever the element of protection and security built in to the notion of marriage, and a Cancer feels that this will help fight any future events involving change and the unexpected, which would of course stop things being the way he/she wanted them. The Arian feels that this over-reliance on security is a waste of time and fails to give it the importance it represents in the eyes of their partner. Marriage isn't something the Arian makes as a goal in a relationship, meaning it isn't something they tend to think about when they enter into a new relationship or even after some time in the relationship.

That the Arian will realize is that the Cancerian will look after all those areas of life that you know you should, but can't be bothered with. They will keep you on a firm footing, but not necessarily tied down. The Cancerian will look after your home and guard your interests the same way you would like, when someone else is doing it that is. In return you give them the appreciation they deserve, and you are their public representative, using your flair and personality to do the things their natural reserve prevents them from doing. You will be their public face and they will be there, right behind you to ensure everything is under control and being looked after.

The nature of this relationship is that you fight for each other, and do the work for each other that you can't do yourselves. There are, however, bound to be arguments since you both like to do things your own way. Fortunately these quarrels pass quickly. The marriage of these two signs will not be easy, but it will definitely be strong as well as very productive.
