Each sign of the Zodiac expresses certain energies in certain ways. There are four elements: air, earth, fire, and water. Air represents thought; earth represents practical life; fire represents action, and water represents emotions. There are three qualities: cardinal, fixed, and mutable. Cardinal signs lead; fixed signs establish; and mutable signs adapt.
Each sign influences the energy of how we love, work, play, raise a family, make friends, and so on. If you were born between June 21st and July 22nd, you have a Cancer Sun sign. If you happen to be born on the 19th, 20th, 21st, or 22nd of June or July, you should use our natal chart calculator to be sure of your Sun sign because you are “born on the cusp” of a sign.

Aries is a cardinal fire sign that likes to “go for it” in love. These signs square, or challenge, one another. This combination can make the relationship work hard to succeed since Aries can be notoriously self-focused and Cancer can be in constant need of giving and receiving emotional support.
