Please take this as an observation only, but I am puzzled as to why, amoung my Cancer friends&family, anger ALWAYS seems to be bubbling away, just under the surface.

There seems to be a very high incidence of liver/gallbladder troubles (in the group I know) & outbursts of anger are very common (My Father, Mother in Law, Best friend & her boyfriend - just off the top of my head).

Has anyone any idea where this may be comming from? I know cancers may be called 'Moody' - but this is ANGER! Any ideas where this very stressed out Bull can learn to deal with these angry Cancers?

LOL

In my expereince with an x-boyfriend who is highly Cancerian, it is not so much anger as acting out on their "passions." They get "into" something, be it a person, ideal, belief, whatever and can not let it go, then all of this watery passion builds up and manifests (duck, get out of the way!)

I think some of their gastro-intestinal problems have to do with keeping things all pent up inside and when they finally do let go, the physical aliments often fix themselves.

My x, was so passionate about not letting me go that he acted out in awful ways! Did things that are far beyond the law. Their passions get the best of them and the less evolved ones have a problem dealing with it.

As far as a Taurus handling over emotional, watery, passionate Cancers, I have no clue. I am a Pisces sun female and am currently dating a Taurus sun male and I know I really have to reign myself in when dealing with this man. I live in the "ether" floating and drifing on a sea of emotions, am very poetic and often speak in metaphors and symbolism and this just leaves him totally lost. I do find that he is very grounding for me and makes me come back to earth for a while when interacting with him, so maybe you can provide this for your watery friends, some earth, stabelization, grounding, somewhere to direct that Cancerian passion and let it go appropriately so as to not harm another or him/herself!

As Dolce suggests, with anger issues, take a look at Mars in the individual charts and Mars aspects from their charts to you.

"Just because you feel I am moody, does not mean YOU are not very inrritating!".

I adore The Cancerian's honesty!

But here is a tip:
Do not assume the mood or anger has anything to do with you. Unless you know you are the reason. Otherwise listen if they want to vent. Or back off until they mull it over. It will pass. They seem to think deeply on things that bother them. It may appear as moody or angry, but did you interrupt them while they were pondering deeply over something? Work stuff, personal stuff, World affairs...they are often simply mulling things over. Leave them alone until they are through it or want to vent about it.
I love the depth of the Cancerian mind and emotions!
Do not play headgames or act cutesy, or vapid. Do not whine about nothing or play jealousy games. Do not lie to them.

De1979, yea I was thinking of that explanation as well. My stepdad is a cancer (with alot of scorpio), and he seems to bottle up every once of emotion he has and then spill it out every so often in a passive aggressive way. He never yells, but he'll do the most spiteful things to me when he's reached his boiling point. He tries to act so rational and earthy and have unemotional debates and lead everyone to believe he's made of rock when he's really made of water.
I can see this side of him when he sits in front of his stereo with his headphones on listening to slow, heartfelt songs for hours on end. Or when we go on vacation, he'll snap away at all of the beautiful landscapes he sees forgetting to add people to the pictures

Kat,
I think your right about the importance of Cancers having a happy childhood. My stepdad was neglected frequently and was picked on. Also he went to an all boys private Catholic school in upstate NY, so when he was released into the more crazy, co-ed way of life in the cty and in the military, I think he probably felt like a fish out of water for some time. I think he has so much hurt under the surface with no real outlet for it. I truly hope he finds peace so that he doesn't explode one day and harm himself or someone else.

I think I may possibly be the most sensitive and emotional Taurus I know (I always cry during Medium and that is possibly the problem.

Whenever my Dad/Mum in Law/Best Friend are in a mood - I always feel like it is directed at me. I just feel that. It makes me sad & stressed out to think I made someone angry.

I just find it so difficult when they just sit there, holding all that emotion in with a sour look on their face (and smoke comming outta their ears!)

I just don't know how to detached myself from their moods...

Thanks again
LOL

I DID have anger issues most of my life! Mystical Dream actually found that from other aspects in my chart.

Experience taught me that "An angry man defeats himself" and hence am calmer now. A recent business asociate who is Cancerian told me he had a gall bladder surgery a few months back! There is something to that hypthesis.

Crazy Crabs... always eating or sulking or counting cash...
