Any advice on how to deal with a passive-aggressive Cancer female? One that is also a co-worker and one you must see all day every day?I'm a Scorpio - and there is ZERO CHEMISTRY between us as this is someone who is beyond any level of moodiness I have EVER KNOWN. And mind you - I KNOW MOODINESS - considering I'm a Scorpio Sun with a Pisces moon. But this person is mean-spirited, moody, very passive-aggressive, lonely, bitter and sarcastic. This Cancer female THROWS A STONE AND HIDES HER HAND. Give me a primitive, explosive Scorpio ANY DAY thank you very much over someone like this who is just beyond my comprehension. Give me a feisty loud Aries, a proud Leo ANY DAY - I think that is much healthier - people get mad, people express it and move on but I frankly do not know how to deal with someone like this woman who is so moody and at ANY SECOND could turn nasty on you and seems to keep her true feelings hidden only to come out in nasty little other ways. I'm a little disgusted, disgruntled and fed up. Unfortunately, I work with this person. IP: Logged |

My the force be with you A passive-aggressive Cancer female is one bag of fun. My ex mother-in-law was one, and I wanted to strangle her between meals I have no idea how I deal with Cancer moon females, but I really like them for the most part, which is weird. I've never had directness work on a Cancer, male or female. Once they've got venom in their veins, they'll keep spewing it forever, and not a thing works. Ignoring it and acting unmoved completely has worked for me in the past...I've just noticed that once there's a reaction given, they'll bleed it to death. IP: Logged |

I feel for you! She must have a Moon that just doesn't work well with Cancer sun or something... Cancer women can really be one way or another either extremely sweet loving ladies or agro and overbearing!IP: Logged |

OMG, now I am remembering two classes of Cancer females: The very nurturing, kind, open, peaceful ones........And the ones who are on a CONSTANT emotional TIRADE...extremely bitter, and draining...I fall into my lukewarm soup thinking about it. IP: Logged |

Ugh I sympathize. I think we've all encountered types like this before. Passive-aggressive people are trying to ensnare you in their emotional crap and make you feel like it's your fault. My advice would be to just NOT emotionally engage with her. I don't just mean when you're dealing with her directly, but even when you're alone and thinking about her. Her behavior stirs up emotional energy that, if you have any watery tendencies yourself (or maybe even if you don't), will lure you into being passive-aggressive too. Don't allow that! Some ideas: -Never, ever say anything to her or about her that is not both kind AND true -If she asks you to do something you do not want to do that is not a part of the job you want, politely decline...lots of people think this is not possible in a work setting, but it is -practice meditating on the Four Immeasurables (google it) and wish both her and yourself happiness, the causes of happiness, and freedom from suffering every day -spend your energy on people and things you love IP: Logged |

Oh, I feel for you chica; passive-aggressive people are the #1 on the list of things that p!ss off my aries mars. And mind you, I'm a cancer sun myself...ROFL. I wish I had advice for you but when someone pulls that passive/aggressive ish on me, the virgo moon/aries mars comes out with CLAWS. That is one trait that sets me off and they usually quit it as soon as that happens. LOLI think everyone else is right in asking for the moon sign of this. I've noticed that with alot of cancer women, the moon placement plays a large roll in whether we're normal or Effin' psycho. ROFL Mind you I'm an 8th house virgo moon but/so I'm still pretty moody but when I get into a funk, I tend to become a hermit and just shut out the world until I feel better as opposed to affecting everyone else with my moodiness like I once did as a teenager. I've learned that it's pretty selfish to be raining on people's parades like that. Even in the work setting, I just remain quiet and try to do my job when in a bad mood but when I feel provoked, that's a totally different story. IP: Logged |

I'm 100% with you on that Dulce- nothing gets my Aries Mars goat more than passive-aggressiveness too. My mother has a Cancer moon..and she specializes in passive-aggressive emotional tirades. It seems that this moon position has so much positive potential for emotional expression-but expressed unhealthily can be extremely grating on others. IP: Logged |

Hiya!COuldn't help but laugh when i read your post because I'm a cancer sun (only a few teeny degrees in cancer so i got a whole lotta gemini going on) and i passive aggresiveness is my specialty. I have the same prob with some scorps. The more intense they are, the more i feel like im up against them cos we're such similar sign. Some scorps i just DO NOT get along with. Perfect eg. At my old work (i was a stripper), when i started we had a manager who was a lovely scorp. We got real close and she was like my counsellor inside AND outside of work. We had an open relationship with free communication. Then she left and we got a new dance manager who was also scorp. We were like 2 opposites, we'd ignore each other, she'd play favouritism games with the other girls, id only speak to her when i needed to put in my roster for the following week. We just couldn't find any common ground, even though we had heaps in common. I just hated her. SO yeah, it totally depends on teh cancer and scorp and what else is in their chart. Also, from a psychology POV (ive studied it at uni for years now), everyone has 2 diff personalities when it comes to work and how they are normally. You'll probably find that you both get along really well outside of work but just cant get along with each others work personalities.

Maybe she has other issues in her life causing her to be this way. The Cancers I know are nothing like this at all, their actually quite independent but people can turn bitter and nasty with the certain issues inflicting them.IP: Logged |

I'm a Cancer female.She probably has other issues going on in her life at the moment. You can either ignore or be honest to her [in a diplomatic way]. Above all, patience. IP: Logged |

I'm a Cancer. But with a lot of earth in my chart. I know some horrible cancers I'm embarrassed to share the same sun as them. We all can't be the same. You gotta have your bad ones. IP: Logged |

Im a Cancer Sun, Capricorn moon...with heaps of air in my sign...and when I'm pi$$ed off all I just need space. And in a work context, I concede that it is really tricky for most people to deal with. It is hard on the person who might process their environment feeling-first, as well as it is on people who just dont want to emote and choose to be cerebral about everything! I can identify with both sides.I work with an Aries Sun, Sag moon who just doesnt shut the f*&k up! Never!! She is like a 30 year old child. She talks and talks and talks and talks at a high pitched decibel about the most menial things and at the end of the day, I just want to punch her. She can really get me into a bad mood. Yesterday, she was asking me about the nutritional content of a banana!,what I thought about turning down the top of her boots, what I think about this person, that person...and when I do not pander to her whims, she calls me moody! Truth is she's right. She makes me soo moody. But it doesnt help to converse with her because she doesnt get it. Or she just wants to feed off the conversation. God sent her to test me and I just gotta figure out what it is! Anyway I digress..... Thing is all I want when I'm in one of those moods is to be left alone. I am silent and I am still and I do not infringe myself on anyone. I do not want attention. I just want to feel it and it dissapates. But when I see that someone is expecting something from me...you know, with the sideways comments, with the backwards glances, with the ganging up with the other team memeber so that I am the 'bad one'..it just pi$$es me off even more. My most fabulous trait is my ability to just let people be. Especially when they are moody, and only when they keep it to themseleves. Now when they infringe upon my personal space in a physical way because of that mood....then thats something else. and I will not hesistate to tell them to back off. I am anything but passive-aggresive, but my intuition coupled with my smart sense always alerts me to no-win situations, so I just choose to heal myself. And in the situation I mentioned with my co-worker, I always use the so-called 'moodiness' to my advantage. At least she doesnt talk to me and she leaves me alone!!

My mother is what you describe. It took years for all of us, her children, to figure out how to handle it. Truly, there are only two ways and neither will change who she is or what her arbitrary complaint is today.1. Ignore her entirely, grunt in response if you must, and waste absolutely no thought on what she's complaining about at all. Go on about your day OR 2. This is risky. You'd have to be fairly close with her emotionally to pull it off...but um, they sort of back off and purr like kittens if you lay it down on them hard. Usually, their fussing isn't what they're upset about, it's just something to fuss about because they're unhappy. So, for instance, let's say my mother starts calling to ***** and moan about how I left a soda out on the table the last time I visited. I'll simply ask if she called just to pick a fight with me. 'Don't come out here just to pick a fight' seems to be a key phrase that gets through to her. If you're bold, you may try number 2 in a similar way. But if you're virtual strangers, I'd stick with #1. I find it strange that she behaves that way at work though- most cancers I know, both male and female, behave like genteel social royalty when out and about. IP: Logged |

Thank you for all the inputs. I agree wit ignoring her. Might be the best thing and also a huge tough wall between her and I.She might have a Taurus moon and if so, then she also has her Mars in Cancer. We work next to each other Hooray. (I'm being sarcastic). Thus making it impossible to avoid her, not see her, completely ignore her.....although I try...I'm trying.. I put on my "Dont F with me" face just so that I'm not a victim of her rude comments and passive-aggressive ways. I find myself controlling my REACTION to her... I do not know what to think of this person. I do know this much. There was a person who left and filed an official notice with human resources accusing her of being impossible to work with.
