VajraContrary to a widespread perception of Cancer AC being not good-looking, actually some of the most beautiful people have Cancer Asc, such as Angelina Jolie, Liv Tyler, Kylie Minogue, Jane Russell, Ben Affleck, to name just a few celebrity examples... Aries EagleAnother important thing Cancer is considered the most patriotic sign.Canadiangirl charlie: Some forget that Cancers are CARDINAL and I have never met a Cancer that didn't go after what they wanted, in their own sweet time. I wanna win wars but I also have Mars conj Asc --This made me laugh because it really hits home with me. I have no fear about going after what I want. PixieJaneOne thing I keep seeing is that Cancers are clingy and revere the mother...but this isn't necessarily true. Of the two Cancers I'm close to, plus the Cancer moon and mars, as long as they're given a secure place they're not clingy. They need a bit more than others but as long as they get that little bit more then they don't constantly cling.I knew one little girl who could be very clingy, though she was also responsible and would criticize her parents easily enough. After she was given a secure environment (which included a personal space to retreat to that was sacrosanct) she transformed. I actually find it a bit annoying (she doesn't) that she's become something of a queen bee of her clique with her peers constantly texting her to make sure everything they do meets with her approval. I've watched how she uses that social power and clout of hers closely to make sure she doesn't abuse it but she seems to accept that with power comes responsibility and I believe holds herself to even higher standards than she does others. She's got plenty of self-confidence and a self-starter and doesn't cling to anyone's skirts (though she does need to feel emotionally secure, but it's not hard or time consuming if you try, it's only when no one really tried with sincerity that she was constantly clinging and insecure).My cousin is a Pisces moon and Cancer mars and he can be moody...but he's not to be messed with. I learned long ago when he retreats to his room and starts playing his guitar a certain way (or playing certain music) to leave him alone and woe to anyone who tries to pull him out of his shell. Otherwise he's fine and his Sag and Aries energy is on display. And he tends to be sympathetic to others (will even give strangers a ride) but try taking advantage of him or mistaking his kindness for weakness is a good way to get a fist in the face. He almost never starts a fight but he won't hesitate to end one. And that Cancer Martian loyalty to family sure came out when some rednecks glared at me and a tattooed blasian friend visiting from California where he glared right back at them and angrily demanded, "WHAT!?" No one doubted that he was on the verge of putting his boot to their ***** if they didn't stop.arcturiannCancer is known for being one of the hardest signs to define or the least "clear-cut". I think this is due to the nature of cancers ruling planet, the moon, which varies from person to person more than any other planetary placement. I think the one thing that rings true for all cancerians is that there is a real sweetheart deep down in all of them.And also yes, being a cardinal sign, I see cancer as that protective mother, who can be a nurturing sweet coddling mother one minute, and then pulling out the guns and swiftly directing a team about to engage in combat. They are like protectors/defenders of the zodiac, and they get sh*t done.I've noticed a lot of descriptions online are sooo sooo drastically different from one another that it's ridiculous. I feel as though half of the interpretations I read are written by somebody who has been hurt by a cancer somehow or are just way more negative and less impartial towards the sign for whatever reason. I wonder sometimes if having such a negative word as the name, "cancer", people subconsciously find it okay to poo-poo this sign, as if their attitude is like, it is cancer afterall. margym0oI agree that Cancer is probably the most misunderstood and misinterpreted sign in all the zodiac - also the one that people seem to "hate on" the most when their relationships turn sour. I think most of us would prefer to have everything spelled out for us in black and white, especially when it comes to relationships, but Cancers don't operate that way. They hold their cards VERY close to their chest, and I think this is unnerving for a lot of people. It's smart in a way, because they only reveal themselves to people they trust. If that trust is broken though, they are very hard on themselves and shut right down. I find most Cancers will go through this exercise and it ultimately shapes who they are and their outlook on relationships.For instance, my SO (and his family) have mentioned this "DEVASTATING heartbreak" he experienced in his early 20's and now to this day almost a decade later he admits being cautious about fully revealing himself for fear of being hurt again. Being the SENSITIVE people they are, Cancers NEVER forget that pain. I am the opposite - I wholly and completely wear my heart on my sleeve - but I can understand where he is coming from. Thus it is understandable that they are cautious, careful and hard to read. They test us and "play games" with us but only to ensure that we will stick by them when they're down. Most of us aren't willing to ride out the ups and downs but those of us that do are rewarded.One thing is for sure and that is they don't take matters of the heart lightly. Once they let you in, you're in, and you really feel the depth of their love through their affectionate, cuddley and caring nature.wheresthemoonI'm not sure if this is "typical" or not, but I think cancer can be deeply sexual. I have cancer ascendant and cancer mars, and I don't necessarily view myself this way; but other cancers I know definitely come off as very sexual people. Although I guess that could also be other factors. Solar_Leo_QueenThey have beautiful eyes, that's one thing I've noticed--especially those that have this sign as their Moon placement. Cancer risings are very dreamy.bopbopBecause Cancer is ruled by Moon and Moon is sign of the mother, I think Cancer gets stuck with this "housewife" stereotype that isn't accurate.Cancer is on the axis with Capricorn. Both of these signs are Cardinal and prioritize protecting what is cherished, and creating security. Cancer protects through providing a base of operations to work from. Whether this is a home, an encampment, a place in the mind, a person, a womb, it doesn't matter. If you're lost in a desert, if you're being chased by dogs, if you're on the rocks... it is Cancer that can provide shelter for you. However, if Cancer sees you as a threat to security, there is no end the the wrath. It's best to have Cancer see your enemy as their enemy. The ultimate Cancer representation I've seen in media is on Community. In the episode "Geothermal Escapism", Shirley creates an oasis called "Shirley Island" where players of the hot lava game can find refuge -- according to her rules, and under her authority. She does the same kind of thing in other episodes. Ultimate Cancer move. That character is just an ultimate Cancer overall, haha.alyssa27i loveeeee cancerians..just lovee them i have cancer rising,venus and jupiter so i get along very well with everyone with cancer placements.i do think that cancers have a bad reputation because most of them act cold or they seem really shy when you first meet them.but i believe that the smart thing to do is to keep your cards close to your chest until you can fully trust someone.our feelings deserve to people who will earn our trust!overall cancers are really sweet and kind people..12th_House_Gal quote:Originally posted by Solar_Leo_Queen:They have beautiful eyes, that's one thing I've noticed--especially those that have this sign as their Moon placement.

You could get lost in those eyes. It's a very intense look too, like he knows mysteries he's not going to tell you... But the mystery is, there isn't one! Lol he's a total teddy bear. He is South American so add the Latin flavor & it was over for me. My 9th House moon just digs a man who is from somewhere far away!!

Lol 12th_House_GalAnd I have to agree, Cancers aren't given enough credit for their serious drive. Hubs also has Mars in Cap. Virgo/Cancer/Cap makes for a VERY success oriented person.
