Ember and tide: a bumpy, tender education

Aries charges ahead while Cancer guards what matters most, and you can bump hard in between. Each clash teaches something useful: Aries learns to soften, Cancer learns to speak up.

Love

A stretch at first; it grows as courage and care trade places.

Friendship

The pioneer and the protector, each covering the other's blind spot.

Talking

Aries, lead with warmth; Cancer, name the hurt instead of hinting.
