Hi all,

I was wondering, are Cancers the "touchy-feely" sort? I have only known two and so my knowledge of their inner workings is limited. Of course as you all know I am in the middle of a burgeoning romance with a Cancer guy and so now I have to know everything about Cancers. I was curious, are Cancers generally affectionate people? Do they like being touched? I know a lot of Geminis are demonstrative and most of the Sags I know are. Any thoughts?

Do they typically touch back, or do they just like being the recipient? The fellow I am having this burgeoning romance with seems to like being touched, but he does not touch in return. I had always followed the rule that if you touch someone and they return the action then they like it, otherwise they don't, but he seems to really enjoy it when I touch him and when I asked him about it he said he was fine with it. Do Cancers touch and if so does this take time?

I think It depends on the moon placement. I'm a virgo mooner/8th house and affection is still a working progress for me. Its basically like in the right place, at the right time, and within good taste; I'm not gonna be all over you in public. Maybe I'll hold hands, hug, a kiss on the cheek, etc. I do like to be touched (by my boyfriend,mommy dearest and other family members...and people who "feel" like family) but it used to be very hard for me to "initiate" affection if you get what I'm saying (especially with men). It has alot to do with the relationship I had/have with my father too IMO. Although if I am touched, I will reciprocate.

Most unusual is that I'm Mocambiquan-Portuguese (very affectionate culture)...Its not even like I'm Anglo or Nordic or something like that.

You had asked, "Do Cancers touch and if so does this take time?"
Yes it's true. Water signs loved to be touched but because they're so vulnerable and sensitive they need time to return the affection. Just because they don't show it doesn't mean they don't like it. If you're going to show affection, be constant about it. Not to the point of being clingy, but you know what I mean, just so they can get comfortable with it and trust you in that area.

I know two Cancer women who are not particularly touchy feely. One has Moon in Virgo and the other Moon in Gemini....they are both quite reserved that way.

I am a Cancer Sun/Moon with a virgo ascendant,and i am not extremely fond of being touched.Unless i am deeply in love with the guy or something.But that's just me.
I think Cancer guys are way more affectionate

Yes…but don’t over do it like I did. I was all over him, he got real nervous but yeah, they’re usually ok with it.

Such sweet gentle souls..

I think they take a while to warm up. My son is a crab, and is very affectionate, but a bit more reserved with people he's still getting to know. Once they trust you though, you're all set!

I'm a Cancer sun, Aries moon and Scorp ASC. I am sooo Not touchy feely. I cannot stand when people touch me. I can tell you I love you all day long, just don't touch me. LOL

My little Cancer Bro, has an aries moon and Pisces Asc... He's more open with his sensitity then I am. but he's not real touchy feely either.. I think it's the Aries moon for us. I don't know.. He's a lot more sensitive though and I believe that's his Pisces asc. that amplifies that.

Hello all,

Thanks for your responses. He doesn't have an Aries Moon which is probably good from a "touchy feely" perspective. His chart is as follows:

Moon Capricorn 29° 27' 4th House
Mercury Cancer 12° 20' 9th House
Venus Virgo 08° 34' 11th House
Mars Scorpio 00° 51' 1st House
Jupiter Leo 11° 36' 10th House
Saturn Aries 12° 33' 6th House
Uranus Virgo 21° 30' 11th House
Neptune Scorpio 21° 35' 2nd House
Pluto Virgo 18° 40' 11th House

House Positions
House Sign Position
Ascendant Libra 21° 14'
2nd House Scorpio 18° 38'
3rd House Sagittarius 20° 27'
4th House Capricorn 25° 19'
5th House Aquarius 28° 50'
6th House Pisces 27° 39'
7th House Aries 21° 14'
8th House Taurus 18° 38'
9th House Gemini 20° 27'

His chart is the same as mine from Venus - Pluto (not the houses though.. I have Cappy rising, Aries Moon)... I am touchy feely... even in public...but its the subtle variety... like holding hands, a shoulder rub, the hand on the small of my back as we enter a room, sitting close and the like.. In private, I like to be touched in subtle and not so subtle ways

I was married to Cancer/Aries Moon and he wasn't so much... but, i think it also has alot to do with your upbringing... He was not in the best of situations as a child and did not receive a lot of affection of any kind.. So as an adult, he was not against it per say but not as comfortable with it as most water signs are.

Ask him how he feels about it.

He was born during a powerful full moon. That's for sure.

Sun oppose Moon is a full moon,and the orb is around 1 degree. That's a powerful full moon placement. It can be quite emotional,sensitive,intuitive,nurturing, but it has strong practical,realistic,reserved streak with it being in Capricorn though. and his Moon is in 4th house. That's Moon in the house that it naturally rules. That is very strong Moon placement,and that indicates strong attachment to home,past,unconscious,memories. This is similar as Moon in Cancer.

Well, I don't know about that .....but I'll take the compliment. Thank you!

Now back to the subject. I don't see a capricorn moon as being a touchy feely placement but I think Glaucus may be onto something. He was born during a full moon (sun opposition moon natally) so I think that intensifies his "cancerianess" so to speak.

He seems to be a textbook Cancerian. Fortunately he knows this and is mindful of telling me when he is feeling "smallmouth" and if he has been hiding out, he lets me know why. I have discussed the touching thing with him and he seems to like it. He was in a long-term relationship with a woman that I think might have been a bit cold and so I think this plays into his being reserved initially. I can't say for certain,and he would never speak ill of her but I have seen photos of them and they are never touching. All of his other photos there was touching and intimacy that one has with friends and family, but not with her. I'm sure it seems silly to draw a conclusion based on body language viewed in photographs, but I just have a feeling she isn't a warm and fuzzy gal, so perhaps he has to grow accustomed to being touched by a woman again.

I have cancer sun and moon, and I really like being touched...IF I want to be touched by that person. But if I really like somebody and they start touching me then it usually lets me know how much I like them...because if I suddenly don't want them to touch me, then I know that I don't like them the way I thought I did........but if I do like being touched by that person, then I will reciprocate, but not with great vigour (at first)

hope this is helpful. Have fun and good luck!

Thanks TMC,

It's funny, but since I started incorporating touch into our rerlationship he seems much more open and things have progressed at a faster rate.
