So I posted a while back, about my Cancerian fiance who left me in the worst way possible after a great three year relationship.. No reasons, no excuses, just a whole lot of mean words.

Its been almost 2 months, and I still have my good days and bad days. (I'm a Pisces, I guess my emotions just run too deep.)

So anyways, just when I think maybe I'm getting a little bit better, he starts messaging or calling again. One time it's to threaten to cause me problems, next time he's drunk and he says he felt so safe and happy with me and I kept him out of trouble.. And that I am the greatest person he has ever met. Then he'll deny everything he said the day after that and say it's great to be single..And that he doesn't love me anymore because he feels he is a different person now. Then he'll disappear for a few weeks and call again wanting to stay friends coz he's used to having me in his life.. Then he's back to threatening.. Finally he'll say :OMG you're still not over me? Grow up!! I've moved on so should you.

I really do not understand this person. I am still not over what happened because he never regretted it, apologized or gave me a reason for what he did. And the fact that he is telling people how easy it was to get over me makes me question our entire relationship and the love we shared.

I know it is detrimental to my well-being to allow this person to keep contacting me, but I keep picking up hoping for some regret on his part.

My question is: Do cancers move on more easily than Pisces? Or do they not acknowledge their own feelings and block things out? Or do they take a long time to realise things? I am just trying to understand.
He is a Cancer, Moon in Aries, Ascendant in Virgo.
Any input would be appreciated. I hope I don't sound too pathetic, I'm not one who usually dwells in the past!

I would have to look at this person's whole chart-but being a cancer myself-i usually have a hard time letting go.

I'm not into game playing, but it seems if you make a firm stand about not letting this person back into your life, this person finally might realize what they lost.
It sounds as if they are not totally ready to let go of you. You don't sound pathetic!
We've all had issues with relationships or we wouldn't be on this board talking about them and trying to gain insight into what makes a person tick (astrologically, that is)!

Hope this makes your day a little better.

Thanks for your reply The thing is he has never said he wants me back, just that Im the only one who ever knew him etc etc.. and it hurts because I was always very good to him and we were very much in love. He was my best friend and my soulmate. So you think I should just disappear completely from his life?

Please if you have time to look at his chart I would really appreciate it!

He's Lying, he is not over you at all and the reason that things ended was bc of his issues and incapabilities had nothing really to do with who you are. Cancers have the hardest time letting go of relationships, so even after your long gone and on to something else he will still be trying to have you..I remember talking to you a few months back. I know that its been hard to move on thats bc what you felt was real and your were not on bs with him. Its a process that you will get through I promise you. You had good intentions and loved him for real and was honest about it. Continue to be honest about your feelings and where your at with them. Inspite of his nastyness wish him well pray for him and mean it as you make way on to something more positive. IF you do this and be for real about it you will be able to move on with the greatest of ease and be happy. Know who you are and don't let his issues be yours and hurt you, I know how Pisces can be for I am one. When we really love someone we can be so selfliss, but don't think of yourself only. Don't know what the future holds but if you let him back he has to have dealt with his issues and he has some..Good luck and happy new year..

Mama Mia you're the greatest! I remember you being really supportive the last time I posted as well.. you have a good memory
I actually cried as I read what you wrote, because that is exactly what I told him. That my feelings were real and that's why they will take time to go. But he laughed and called me a kid.
I'm a Pisces with a Venus in Aq just like you, so I'm sure you understand how Im feeling. *hugs*

Yes I totally know what your going through went through this with a couple other guys myself and well lets just say they are miserable right now, bc all I have to offer them is friendship and its genuine. They got it now and its to late...I think that you will be alright just focus on what makes YOU happy not another person. When you start things out on a up and up note and your intentions are in the right place and you mean well no matter what happens you will ALWAYS land on your feet. Hold your head up girl embrace 2008 new things are just around the corner..:-)

Hey Whale! Lemme give you a Cancerian's view, since I think I am/was in the same position as you.


I just got out of a very longterm relationship myself in the end of October for reasons I'll elaborate on later. And I honestly thought while I was with him, I would marry the person (and you thought you sounded pathetic? Teehee.) So up until December my heart was soooo heavy, like all I wanted to do was sleep and not have to wake up. I even had all the hope in the world that we would reconcile. It my Piscean sister, my saggie friend, and an incident involving the ex at the club that made me none-the wiser...so to speak.

Its now during the New Year that I really truly feel at peace with myself again. I'm not sure how long this will last and some people think I might regress back to missing my ex but I don't feel that will happen. Hell, there's even a new guy I'm into who gave a gift at Christmas..heehee . I'm not saying I don't or never loved my ex but I think for reasons mentioned earlier, I was able to switch off my feelings for him and just live my life.

Though, I always attributed this type of quick detachment to my airy Gemini venus and logical virgo moon....not so much my cancer sun. I know of ALOT of cancers who've in the past had trouble moving on from old relationships, even if they were the ones who broke it off.

I'm not gonna say anything in defense of your ex, but just from water girl to watergirl: I advise you to do the same that I've done and just live your life. Its sucks when people have no remorse for hurting us, but its no use hanging on to that...it'll be a waste of your energy and just plain EXHAUSTING in the end.

Nope I am single right now. And bc I know my worth only a for real,real man can get in. Lately I have been senseing a new man on the way you know us Pisces we can sense things real good. I have done alot of work on myself this last year and I am sure that I will be attracting a mate who is like me. Thats whats important and what I want. I am gonna be patient and continue to do the work that needs to be done so when he arrives I will be ready. I read a good book a month or so back and I sugggest it to you.."Laws of Attraction" by Micaheal Losier something like that..When you get a chance check it out..

(I actually started this post before you had any responses)

He's putting on an act. He's likely quite conflicted about the whole thing, and doesn't know how to act appropriately. His Cancer side loves relationships, but his Aries side likes the freedom to do whatever.

I think what generally happens with Cancers is that they break up with you, and then they don't want anything to do with you again. It hurts them too much to stay in contact (or they think that they'll be hurting you by staying in contact). You've got an odd one trying to show some Aries bravado. Cancers also act tough when they feel vulnerable. His Cancer side is still nostalgic, though.

Don't reward his bad choices by taking his side. He loves that you're obviously offended by what he did. It gives him some pride to think that he's doing better with it than you are. You should take the power back by illustrating that you are the one acting normal between you. What kind of moron pulls a stunt like he did, and then gloats about it? Right? You are acting appropriately. If you're hurt, then you have every right to be hurt. He ought to be ashamed of himself, and secretly he is. Acknowledge that and you can start to heal, AND you can start to keep some distance between you without feeling any shame or guilt. You don't hang out with @ssholes, right? Well, there you go. He is looking for you to make an endorsement of his actions by getting you to act like you're over it. Don't do it. Condemn his actions, and take as long as you like getting over it. You don't owe him anything.

Next time he calls maybe suggest he cuts back on his drink as he obviously can't handle it.

Don't know if it would cause you too much hassle in other areas of life but maybe changing your number could help?

Mama Mia: It's great that you're being so positive And I know what you mean about working on yourself.. I have met some decent men in the past month who are interested in getting to know me but I have no intention on making anyone a rebound. Also I know enough to know that I am not ready to be in any sort of relationshop right now, I have a lot of work to do before I am ready.
Thanks for the suggestion.. I haven't read the book but I am a firm believer in the Laws of Attraction. I read somewhere that you should make a list of all the qualties you want in your significant other, be as picky as you like, then read through the list everynight in bed, then close your eyes and envision yourself with that person. Try it if you like I wish you all the best, you seem like a great person, and Im sure youll end up with someone who deserves you

"I read somewhere that you should make a list of all the qualties you want in your significant other, be as picky as you like, then read through the list everynight in bed, then close your eyes and envision yourself with that person"

WP: that is true but the catch is you have to be that same person that you are trying to attract. There is where the work comes in. I am happy that you understand and don't jump to another guy to make you feel better, it shows strength and you don't want to hurt another person, Karma is real. I have no doubt that when your through you will be a tower of strenght and what your Cancer does not understand is that if he wants to come back later its gonna be even harder bc of who you will have developed into, he's really gonna have to bring his A game, if your interested in him at all at that point..Can't keep a good woman down..

Dulce: read your post and honey the same thing goes to you. Mary J. Blige says it best Can't keep a good woman down..Heres to smiles and lots of love for 2008..

Dulce Luna: Yeah he has an ascendant in Virgo and a Venus in Gemini too, so I guess they may be overriding his Cancerian traits at the moment..
"Live your life." I know. I should. I feel very self destructive at the moment with all the emotions I have bottled up, but I'm working on letting them out.. Thanks for the advice anyway.

So what's your story? And how were you none the wiser?

Acoustic God: Thanks for your post and for the support! Just a question though: You said I should illustrate that I am acting normal? Can you please ellaborate? Meaning I should ignore him or tell him that? Sorry I'm a bit slow at the moment
And thank you for acknowledging that I have the right to be hurt. Most people forget that sometimes, one has to feel the pain in order to get over it eventually. I'm tired of hearing that I should just forget about it before I'm ready. He on the other hand didn't go through a "mourning" period at all and was on the rebound with multiple partners from day one.
And EXACTLY. I DO NOT hang out with @ssholes. I have to keep reminding myself. I have to remember what he did to me, and even if he was my best friend at one point, after eveything he did, my friendship should be a privelege he just does not deserve.. right?

You should tell him that. He's trying to keep you from embarrassing him. He's implying that he's better than you by making fun of the fact that you're not over it yet. He needs a reality check. It wouldn't be normal for you to be over it so quickly. It's not normal that he expresses no remorse. His proposition that you should be over it is idiotic. If either of you should be condescending towards the other it should be you who is condescending towards him. Not the other way around.

If you express that to him, and hold strong to the truth of what happened, it will make him think twice about engaging you in those kind of conversations. Right now he's posturing as if he has some sort of power in the situation, but the truth is that you have the power. You also have the dignity. He's got nothing on you.

WP:

Looking at his chart-his sun square his moon-could explain some erratic behavior.
Moon in his 8th house-his emotions are secretive-even hidden. Mars in his 1st could also explain him being in your face a lot. His venus squares his saturn -he feels unloved deep down, i think. It sounds to me as if he could never get enough from one person. If he has "moved on" as he tells you, why then bother with you? His saturn also in his first house indicates he feels restriction in some way.

His mars conjunct his saturn also-again-this could explain why his behavior seems aggressive yet restrictive at the same time.
It could almost be a compulsion.

You should do what feels comfortable for you. Maybe you should call him on some of his behavior (?). Tell him it is not logical. You are being logical IMO, he is not. And you are being honest about your feelings. His chart has a push, pull type of energy about him.

Almost forgot:
venus opposite his neptune,
mars squares his neptune AND
neptune squares his ascendant.

I think he could almost be unaware that he is being delusional.

I'm confused. I take it you have his chart stored somewhere? I don't remember seeing more than his Sun, Moon, and Ascendant given here. Did I just miss it somewhere along the way?

Hi whalepiscean,
I remember talkign to you a couple months back about this problem...
As for your question...I definitely think that you have to look at someone's chart to see if they "move on" quickly more than others. Supposedly cancers have a very hard time letting go, but then again they may have certain influences in theri chart that enable them to get through a breakup more smoothly than most people. I think Pisces people are more inclined to "get over it".
Honestly I dont think he's over you. But he's showing so many mixed signals that you dont want to give in while he's saying all those things about you knowing him the best and how he wants you as a friend, etc...cancers are great at manipulation if they really want to do it, trying to get you to let your guard down and then use it against you at a later point in time..
Im not into mind games, and Im a cancer myself. Im actually with a pisces sun with a venus in aqua like you and Im really surprised at how this certain cancer of yours is acting. It seems to me like along with the pleasure you gave him, he felt the need to be cruel to you in return since you gave him so much love..perhaps he didnt trust this love and thinks that you will one day turn around and take advantage of him which is why he's beating you to it. I dont know though...Im just throwing out different psychological theories out there why this cancer man of yours is acting so bizarre.
Hope everything is okay with you and let us know how it's going

Thank you Mama Mia! I just LOVE Mary J......long live the Queen of HipHop Soul! Happy New year to you too.

Whalepiscean,


What I don't understand is why he's felt the need to be so cruel to you. You seem like you have a good heart and were willing to give him everything....I just don't understand. I'm sorry this has happened to you but I must agree with the others: please don't even satisfy his mind games and just be firm and do not let him back into your life. With the way he's acting, I will go further to say not to accept his calls at all. Its obvious that contact with him is what is bring you back to the "self-destructive" mode and if cutting that off is part of what would help you be in a better place...I say DO IT.

And my story? Pfft. Where do I start? An innocent thing I did when he wasn't around was blown out of proportion. (and I SWEAR on the innocent part too). Huge argument insued along hurt feelings, hurt pride, etc. He has a sag mercury along with moon opposition mars, so when he's really really mad he has the tendency to say heated things he normally wouldn't mean, and then feel horrible about it later. Which is why normally when he's seething, and I mean seething....I leave him alone. Because I know when I didn't leave him alone at the end of 2004, huge fight happened...he said some things to hurt me and then I refused to speak to him for a long time because my confidence with him was shattered.

But this time, I couldn't leave it alone this time, because this was my reputation in question we were talking about here.

It was so bad that we were basically back to the way things were in 2005 when we didn't speak to eachother for the longest time because of his hot saggitarian-mercury mouth. So my confidence and trust in him were shattered once again......something that hadn't happened in a LONG LONG time. And Along with the help of other little problems, things were basically became f****d and we split. Even though I avoided him and stuff for a while and didn't hang in places he'd be at, I honestly had hope that we would reconcile.........as we had done so in late 2005. But then one night late November, my friend dragged me out to the club and he happened to be there the same night. I won't go into detail but he really disrepected me; I was totally invisible to him. But it also seemed like he went out of his way that night to show me he moved on...or to hurt me. Needless to say, that was not a good night for me and I felt insecure.

But I guess I realized by December that I couldn't be the way I had been since October otherwise my life (including school and work) would slip away. I went out with my friend on her birthday, danced with a few guys. I even went to her party the next day that her mother threw for her and it felt I dunno...."welcoming". That's where I kinda met this new guy I've had a crush on. I'm not sure where its headed right now, but I'll go with the flow....he's a sweetheart though.

The ex is question is a Scorpio though. Not exactly the same as a cancer but a waterboy nonetheless so its the same story of insecurities GALORE. *sigh*

Thanks everyone for your replies.

Just a few updates. So I wrote him an email that said everything you all told me. Basically I said that my reaction to everything that has happened is normal, and that his is not normal because he shows no remorse. Then I wrote that Karma is real and he made a big mistake when he wronged me and specifically said he does not need my forgiveness. But I also wrote that I will pray for him, not wish him ill, because I am better than that. Finally, I wrote that I can never be his friend again because he does not deserve my friendship. I told him he lost a love that was very real, and one day he would realise that.

But before I sent it, I got a call from my best friend. Apparently her husband had seen my ex and fought with him, so now my ex was causing them both problems. My friend begged me to call my ex and tell him to stop bothering them so I did. He didn't pick up, then sent a message saying: I dont want anything to do with you or your people. I said that was funny since he is the one that wanted to be friends in the first place. So he replied saying he hated who I was as a person, so why would he want to be friends with me anyway!! (And I hadnt sent the email yet so now its like Im the one dying for his friendship and he doesnt want it - LOL my Leo moon does not approve!)
He kept messaging and messaging, stuff like he is better than me, and that he would have sacrificed a lot to marry me, because his familyname is more well known in our country (For Godsake I hate that cr*p. Who cares about a family name? Doesnt make him a better person!) and that I should stick my finger up my a$$ etc etc SO MUCH GARBAGE AND FILTH. So I replied saying it was nice to know that when he was down he'd call me for support but when he felt strong he insulted me. And again he replied with insults saying who gave a sh*t and to MOVE ON FOR GODSSAKE!!

So I sent the email, but I'm not sure it will have any effect on him or mean anything after what just happened. I hate the person he has become, and how he always makes out that he is superior and that I'm the one in a lower class than him.
(sigh)
I don't know what I am supposed to do..
