Aries / Cancer
Is it true that an
Aries female (April 19th, 1974) and a Cancer male (July 12, 1974) can
never really connect?
The moon phases really do effect my boyfriend in some strange ways and I dread
when these happen; one important date being next Wednesday with the new moon.
Do you think I am reading too much into this? Am I paranoid? I ask this
because I really have seen a strain in our relationship during these
time periods. I have read that we are uncompatible (astrology wise) in
every way but should I go with my heart or head? Please advise.
Well, you 2 are certainly like twins. You share the same Outer Planets, but it's hard to say what that means in terms of Synastry without knowing what houses they occupy.
I see nothing that stands in the way of any Aries / Cancer romantic relationship. In fact...this is a kind of typical pair of opposites...except for the gender reversal. Aries is the sign of Mars, the Warrior while Cancer is the sign of LUNA, the Mother. We each have masculine and feminine aspects to our soul and this is simply another manifestation of that. What makes your match challenging is that it isn't stereotyped. In that sense it's more difficult because you really experience each other from your gut, rather than from your head or even your heart. Your astrologic union is something that you can feel before you really know anything about it. Your answers are, therefore more intuitive than logical. This doesn't mean that you won't experience difficulties. On the contrary...there are difficulties of a cosmic type...but this also means that the potential for growth is ENORMOUS. You don't grow an inch of consciousness when things are too simple....
Nothing jumps out at me from the Ephemeris to indicate why your Moonchild beau should be so sensitive to LUNA. Perhaps he was born precisely at the moment of the Moon's waning Quarter.... Perhaps his house placements are significant.... Whatever it is...it's a phenomenon that is mostly lost to us in our present state and yet there are some individuals whose sensitivity to LUNA is awesome. Perhaps the strain you experience in the relationship at the time of the new moon is due to his being too much in touch with what goes on in the Collective Unconscious. A hyper-sensitivity to things which have no business meddling in his life...something akin to a poltergeist attack. Perhaps it becomes a situation of his psyche being too sensitive to collective frequencies at those times, much like having other people's conversations invade your phone line at odd moments. In that (likely) case I would say that your boyfriend is very Intuitive or Psychic and he simply hasn't yet learned how to deal with the fact. He likely feels overcome or posessed by moods, never realizing that he can learn to live with and deal with this phenomenon without going crazy. If I'm correct...he just might be on his way to discovering the practical benefits of his prodigious Intuition.
