Aries Sun Cancer Rising
The Aries Sun-Cancer, Rising person, leads with an open heart, is nurturing, and takes care of those who look to them for guidance. But there is a conundrum- Brave Aries (ruled by Mars/Ares) loves charging forward, and Cancer (ruled by the Moon/Artemis) likes to retreat and make sure that they, and everyone they love, are protected. According to Greek mythos, Artemis and Ares were siblings. Artemis wanted to hunt, taking his time before the ultimate kill; Ares immediately and rashly sprung into battle.
Aries and Cancer are similar in that they are Cardinal signs. They are both initiators and not afraid to make things happen. However, Cancer is not always as comfortable as Aries is with confrontation- hardly ever. Remember, the Moon only comes out in the darkness of night and at a time when things are hidden.
How to Recognize an Aries Sun/Cancer Rising
Someone with an Aries Sun and Cancer Ascendant may experience a lot of moodiness as part of their personality- something they may not be able to control. This combination is one of the more sensitive Aries characters. They may have a round face with big bright eyes and gentle energy on the exterior. They also may be of a more prominent status, even if they are in perfect shape- women will most likely have large breasts, and men will be strong and muscular.
Aries Sun-Cancer Rising Career
On the other hand, When it comes to career, Aries rules the Midheaven, so whatever they are involved with, they either need to work independently, or be in charge – they don't like being told what to do, and may even act out against it. Sagittarius rules the 6th House of everyday work so they may be involved in teaching or training as well as the world of publishing. They may also work with large animals such as horses.

How Aries Sun-Cancer Rising Should Start the Day
Rising signs dictate the beginning of the day, so as a Cancer Rising, this person needs to wake up slowly, listen to their body's rhythm, and do their own thing.
