Not nice when your the only person not being spoken to for months yet you have to listen to her being the perfect, loving mother to your siblings and your father is a cold, emotionless aquarian who won't stand up for you and doesn't care either way.

Diabla,
Yesterday, I was going through the thread with everyone's pictures.
I saw you--you are so beautiful--by the way--but I thought about the strength it took to pull yourself up.
I have you inside --in a place I can go when I need strength.
Thank you.

You think Pisceans are loving and forgiving and warm? Think again. My mother is cold, calculating, selfish, immature, excluding and has never not once ever said sorry for the devastation she's caused. The only thing i'm guilty of is standing up to her and therefore I'm the most horrible, cruelest, heartless person in the world.

---

That was my issue with the OP. One of my close pisces friends has a Scorpio Moon and she cuts people off as easily as I do. I'm not faulting her for it and in alot of cases, I completely understand why she does it. It's just that the idea of pisces as more loving and forgiving is a complete fairy tale 90% of the time. My sister is another good example of this misconception.

My little 15yr old sister is a Cappy sun with a Scorp moon and while she isn't a cold or anything like that, quite the opposite, she is quite the Scorp who buries their feelings or the Cappy who does the same, but in a different way.

I do have to say though, I'm the one who's expressive with their feelings. If i feel like crying, I'll do it. Even if it makes me look like the weak one, I learned that its actually makes you the strong one.

My sis though, she's just toughhhh. I've never seen her cry except for 2 months ago when she found out her friend had terminal brain tumours. And that's the only time besides when our g'pa passed away.

I am fortunate to say that many awesome maternal types have found me and sort of take on that role.

That's excellent to hear. Maybe its a cancer thing, but I've always thought it was really depressing when people have oppressive/destructive relationships with their mother. I've the same problem with my father for years (and wouldn't you know it, he's also a cancer sun) and if it weren't for my calm and levelheaded Virgo mother, I don't know how I would have survived.

I'm a Cancer and my best friend is a Pisces. She has always been there for me and I love her dearly, she is very strong. She just relys to much on escaping through drinking and stuff

you guy's have to keep in mind that just because someone has a Cancer or Pisces Sun they are not going to be a certain way. Sure, they will be emotional, but the way that emoitonal energy conflicts with other planets/energies in the chart will influence how this person expresses their ego. This can be both positive and negative.

---

Absolutely! It's even beyond looking at the whole chart. People with the same chart and the same environment can still construct themselves differently.

So people with Cancer and Pisces, please don't think that I don't see your signs' gifts just because I was long exposed to a person expressing himself savagely through those signs.

Don't you also have a strong Uranus influence?

Anyways, I'm not faulting anyone for picking their favorites since everyone's entitled to their own opinion. I'm just in agreement with Rasberri that not everyone will act a certain way just because they have a certain sun. It goes into the many posts I see where people are so hateful towards the whole sign because 'this is person I know is a cancer but they're not very understanding and nurturing and blah blah blah' when they could easily look at the entire chart or a backstory since we're more a product of our experiences than our charts.

Yeah, but BM your quite good at your own self analysis of your emotions and thoughts, I reckon having that moon in the 8th would give you that incredible perceptive ability to see things beneath the surface, and for what they are too which I imagine would be somewhat helpful with understanding the activity happening in your 12th house (if i remember correctly?), which can be confusing i think.
At least the Virgo levels out the volatile-ness of cancer emotion and the absorption of other ppl's feelings (cancer receptivity), I'm glad my Libra moon helps me detach.

---

Yes, I'm the one with the 12th house stellium which I've been endlessly trying to analyze in order to understand better. And my moon does tone some things down a bit, but the result is people who don't believe you have any emotions when you're really bubbling beneath the surface..LOL. I don't think it does anything about the empath quality of Cancer, if anything the mercurial tendency for details just makes me even more sensitive. And then add the intensity of the 8th house...eep!

In my experience so far, Cancer hides a bit from the negatives or gets strongly emotionally affected.

Pisces can flow with life - without much drama, whereas for Cancer everything is emotional - everything is significant - everything affects them.

I prefer to be laid back and go with the flow. I still have outbursts, but it's very rare for me. I have Pisces in my chart as well so I love this ability in Pisces people - to always say "it's ok - life happens.. you know? wheel keeps on turning".

I like that Pisces don't take anything personally. For that reason I can be myself around them. With some Cancer people I feel like I'm walking on egg shells -- and considering the rest of my chart - I can only walk on egg shells for so long before I get tired.

This doesn't always happen though. For example Belgz and Diablo on here both have some fire and I actually see them (based on posts and also appearance) as more fire-air, rather than Cancer.

yeah I do have a strong Uranian influence and most of my water planets hang out in Air houses lol but at the same time, i have very strong Pluto & Venus aspects. Strangely enough, my Saturn doesn't make any aspects to any planets.
For some reason, i DO get along with Air signs very well, I have a bit of a gemini influence too cos my Sun hang out in the 3rd houses (my houses are set out in the natural order, damn Aries Rising haha) and I'm definitely known for being more intellectual.

BM: I bet you got an excellent memory for details haha. Sounds like those planet placements could almost make you telepathic, I've noticed that with ppl who have a strong Mercurial influence in their chart.

Air/water is a good mix, if it's balanced evenly. It helps in making me not some melodramatic drama queens who's an expert as histrionics. Nothing makes me recoil than such a tasteless display of emotions haha (SUCH a refined Libra moon lol).
It helps cos my dad's family are ALL air signs. As for style, well i like to bum around in jeans, hoodies and sneakers but when i do have to dress to impress, I have had my style described as elegant and classy.

Boobs and bums out? No. Yuck. Disgusting. lol. I believe everyone can dress well according to their personal taste without being crude or displeasing to the eye haha.

Vapor-Lash: Its funny cos even though I'm so Air/water based people describe me as "fiesty" and say that I would make a GREAT lawyer or one of those ppl that make speeches (sun in 3rd house). That fire in my Rising gives me the kick i need to kick a$$!!!

Here is my thoughs on Cancers:

-I find cancers as workplace bullys, or try to get ahead of someone in the workplace more unfairly, then other signs.

I know cardinal signs are like that, but I envy the way libras get ahead by being peacefully then cancers do.

-Cancer males love to indulge and brag. I beg the question how many people on lindaland are married to cancers males over the age of 40+ and getting them to be productive?. I can name 3.

When ever I think of Cancer males I always think of King Henry 8.

But to be fair, I do get along great with Cancers with Leos in there chart.

I absolutely adore pisces with alot of Aqua in there chart. Just because they have the gracefullness of a pisces and thinking of an Aqua.

I'll send a link to my mum!

She's married to a Cancer (over 40) and she'd agree with that

I experience the signs similarly. Almost identically.

BM -

"Join" the club? You're a founding member! It's not just the air I need. It's Mercury. Your mercurial Moon does the trick for me. You have the same Sun/Moon combo as my half-sister.

Diablo -

My dad has his Moon-Pluto conjunction opposite his Venus. So he can sometimes separate from that conjunction and live socially as just Venus. It doesn't last for long though. He's not crafty and doesn't repress his emotions, even if expressing them costs him his appearance as Venus.

Astrologically I think that's bc his Moon is in his 3rd house, which is the house of our immediate environment. His Moon is so easily stressed, so its expression regularly overpowers his Venus-Asc trine. Or, rather than overpowers, I should say its expression makes his Venus-Asc trine work in ugly ways.

In reality, I get alot of 'impressions' from people....even people I see on the television screen that I don't know. But those seem to be emotionally based. My mercury is a cancer though so maybe that's why. But in my dreams, that's where everything defies logic to me...I sometimes get warnings of certain events before they happen or some very clear messages. I hate putting myself out there about this, because it makes me sound crazy...but its true.

Jane: HOORAY FOR MERCURY! Driving people into asylums since 1904. J/K, I hope your half sister is cool. It reminds me, I just bought a book on Amazon with 144 intepretations for each sun/moon combo. Its description of the Cancer Sun/Virgo Moon female was of how we're balanced, unassuming, mind reading, and come with NO emotional baggage. As much as I wanted to relate to that, I couldn't. I know people do describe me as unassuming, and I'm able to restrain myself from being publically histrionic...LOL. But balanced? I'm far from it, internally speaking. It seems like the author completely forgot what the influence of Mercury does to Virgo. Or maybe all the water influence outweighs everything.
