When Aries and Cancer come together in a love affair, it's a case of opposites attracting. Aries is rash and brash while Cancer is sensitive and emotional. Aries can certainly be emotional -- in a fiery, impetuous way that can completely overwhelm Cancer. Even though Cancer usually likes to take time with relationships, Aries's whirlwind approach can be extremely stimulating. Aries, on the other hand, may find the Cancerian sensitivity appealing; it's a good balance for the typical Aries bluntness. Troubles may arise if Cancer's mood swings or Aries's aggression becomes hurtful. Both Signs must take time to listen to their partner's needs and understand that they're coming from different directions to meet a common goal.
Cancer is the Sign of Home while Aries is the Sign of Self. One great dynamic between these two is that both Signs are extremely protective of those they love. Cancer uses that Crab shell to draw around themselves and their family and mate when trouble is near, while the Ram uses their strength and bravery, like a knight in shining armor. Cancer also provides Aries with a happy domestic life and emotional security. Sometimes they might build an idealized image of their Aries partner or be overly possessive, which can really grate on independent Aries. However, Aries can help by reassuring their Cancer partner that they are loved and cherished. Aries really needs to learn to listen to Cancer: the Crab operates on an instinctive level and their advice can help Aries avoid making silly mistakes caused by that typical Aries lack of planning.
Aries is ruled by the Planet Mars and Cancer is ruled by the emotional Moon. Mars was the God of War, and Aries is a soldier meeting every challenge head-on. Aries's open, passionate nature appeals to Cancer, who often internalizes emotions and feelings. Cancer can have intense, feminine energy and Aries can help them learn to release it. The Moon controls tides of the Earth, quietly affecting all life; similarly, Cancer works behind the scenes (while Aries rushes into battle). Cancer tends to be sentimental and can teach Aries to slow down and appreciate life instead of always rushing on to the next thing.
Aries is a Fire Sign and Cancer is a Water Sign. These two elements can be a great combination if they work together, using both emotion and action to get things done. Cancer can help Aries slow down and learn to be gentle, while Aries teaches Cancer to come out of their shells. But Cancer can be emotionally manipulative -- sometimes there's just too much Water dampening Aries's enthusiasm. Conversely, too much Fire can cause Water to evaporate, leaving Cancer emotionally raw. Aries and Cancer must talk openly and freely to ensure their balance is maintained.
Aries and Cancer are both Cardinal Signs. Both Signs are initiators, but they have to learn to cooperate. On the surface, Aries is the leader, always rushing out to meet a challenge, but Cancer is also indirectly in charge through emotional control and the ability to weigh the situation. Cancer tends to compromise more easily while Aries can be unwilling to yield, so the Crab may have to accept giving in.
What's the best aspect of the Aries-Cancer relationship? Once they realize they're on the same team, the combination of Fire and Water works well together. Aries is out there getting attention and Cancer is quietly supporting the back end. Each partner's ability to provide what the other is lacking makes theirs an equal relationship.

Your question cannot be answered based on such little information. Astrology is much more complex than "I'm a this and she's a that." To realize what your strengths and weaknesses are with a mate, you must see an astrologer who can do a composite chart (one with both yours and your husband's wheel superimposed upon one another).
What do I think? I think it sounds like you are sensing a typical quality of your husband with your children, nurturing would be my guess (based on Cancer quality), that perhaps you are not receiving fully from him. Perhaps you are feeling left out of the nurturing circle. For both of these possible perceptions you could speak with your husband asking for feedback. You could also see an astrologer.
I recommend both! :) Good luck Aries.

I am an Aries and I am married to a cancer. I know that Leo and Aries are more suited for aries according to the zodiac but I am very happy with my husband. Cancers make great parents and are very patient (my opposite) so, I highly reccommend it.

Try www.astro.com. There you can do both you and your husband's chart (for free). Maybe if you read up on it and understand each other's strengths as well as weaknesses, things would go smoother. Sometimes an ascending sign in someone's chart can prevail over their moon sign (or "horoscope" sign) Try the website out. Alot of the reports are for free. It's fun too!

An aries is known for being self centered, and a cancer can sometimes blow things out of proportion.
Now that you know, seek counseling.

In a dating the moon and the venus signs and indicators are extra substantial than the sunlight. So in the event that they are the two Moon via Taurus and Capricorn, and Venus via Gemini and Aries then i think of it will final.

Cancer's are all about home and hearth. Aries are self centered. I know, I am one... (Hugs) Anyway, he's always going to be about the home and kids, it's in his sign. You just need to let him know you need love too. Once the kids are tended to and happy. You can make it work.

I dated an aries and I am a cancer and we always fought. I never trusted him and he never showed any love towards me. Cancerians and Arians are complete opposites. Arians dominate while cancerians are very passive most of the time.
