It has occured to me, after spending 4 days with my 87 YR old Cancer grandpa, that all of the water men in my life, including my greatest Pisces ex love and psycho Cancer, that I have found myself walking on eggshells whilst in their physical presence, or really even in telephone conversations!!!Maybe cause they are so sensitive and being a Fish myself, I pick up on their sensitivity and their (all 3 of them) discomfort with being so sensitive. I dont know, just wanted to put it out there incase anybody else has experienced tiptoeing over proverbial eggshells with water men. thanks. t IP: Logged |

I opposite is true for me. I'm all fire with only my Venus in Water (Cancer) as a Singleton. I have deeper connections with water boys then with any other signs.. The water hits important houses for me.. My H4 is Cancer My H8 is Scorpio My H12 is Pisces. Fire guys= I feel challenged by, as if they are trying to control me.. I'm so outta there. It's rare for me to even get to a first date with a fire guy, usually after talking on the phone a few times. Its over.. LOL.... Air/Air Guys= I've dated few of each, even Married one, but just can't relate. Cant get that sincere deep connection.. One thing that I have noticed though, is no matter what sign they are, most of the time they have Pisces placements.. Probably my Eros.... I cant spot those Pisces from across the room... HAHAHAHAHH.. Also I have noticed a lot of guys of the Sag ASC... yummmy LOVE IT!!!! IP: Logged |

I get this with Cancer and Scorpio.. but very rarely with Pisces.The Pisceans in my life have Aries influence though (and I'm an Aries with Pisces influence). I find them easy to be myself around.. I don't feel like I'm walking on egg shells at all. IP: Logged |

YES!!!!! I have a male Pisces friend, he always shows me attention and then splits faster than lightening striking for no apparant reason...........I am always left so confused "what did I say or do now?!" I DO feel like I have to tip-toe on eggshells for him. So worried I will say or do the wrong thing I can't even be myself! IP: Logged |

NephI think you get what I am saying, afraid to do anything wrong to, god forbid, "hurt" them or offend them or....when I finally was totally and completely myself, when I expressed MY needs the Fish swam... Psycho Cancer, could not wear what I wanted, talk to who I wanted, could not relay a day at work for fear of saying something that would not settle well with him... And my grandpa....another Cancer, has always made me feel uncomfortable, is why I write here, I find myself tip toeing around him too! dunno. Seems to me, the earth men in my life could take it, the air men just dealt, never been any fire men, but cant see them wilting away either, but those water guys...just cant deal. Dyna, the Pisces I speak of had a HUGE Aries influence and he was the worst! Got to the point I could not share what was going on in my life for fear of stressing him out...o, and he lysoled his bed....talk about walking on egg shells in his place, no wonder I rarely went there...

Cancers are like that, I agree Pisces..could be.I know why that happens though. It's because they are not sharing everything with you, they can't be blunt, so they find weird ways of hiding most of their thoughts from you, and end up leaving you puzzled. I have cancer asc and scorpio sun and I used to be like that so I learned to be blunt, I think it saves a lot of time. I had to, I have aries moon IP: Logged |

LMAO, Belgz.... And whatever, I think it's conditioning. American Culture doesn't encourage things like straight men being soft or emotional so obviously the waterdudes here will have problems. But if you go into a culture where its okay for EVERYONE to be histrionic and emotional, then wow...watch how the watch how the 'eggshells' magically dissappear! And also: look at the rest of the chart, por favor.
Me personally, I'm a female cancer sun and I've only had this problem with one or two water sun men and both also have some 'people pleasing' aspects to their personality too.

bendict, i agree, somewhat.conditioning maybe, but that is why i have started this thread. i think not, i think it has a basis for our sun signs, however, i mentioned my pisces love, who had a HUGE influence in aries... you would think fire would just burn it away and according to him that is exactly what he did "shine it on..." as b used to say.. sitll, and i will not repeat myself with examples, H2O prevailed, and STILL, from what i have seen being a water man has everything to do with it. re-member i started this thread with just be-ing with my 87 yr old Cancer grandpa for several days....American condtioning was quite different "back then." t IP: Logged |

The sun is the ego, so it makes sense...but I'm saying that culture also has 95% to do with it. When a waterman lives in a culture where their water EGO is denied then of course they will have these problems. And America has been this way for a very long time concerning men and 'emotions', it's not a recent phenomenon. Go to cultures where water-related things are valued (like emotions, art, and family) and you will see a drop in these 'eggshell' problems. So why blame the victim when you have the source of the problem? I don't know, I think its annoying when people act like having significant water in the chart is a curse. It's not to me; my life would be pretty dull without it. IP: Logged |

And also: look at the rest of the chart, por favor. " I agree with you 100 percent as a male with strong water chart (Sun,Mercury,Venus in Scorpio and Moon in Pisces) as well as strong in Neptune and Transneptunian energy. It's hard for me to express my sensitive and emotional nature. As a little kid, I was the "crybaby" type,and I got teased for it by other boys. My being an ultrasensitive,emotional person is connected to both my neurodivergence and my having higher than average estrogen levels.
I grew up with a mother who is very strong in water (Ascendant,Mercury,Venus,Jupiter,Uranus in Cancer and Moon,Saturn in Scorpio), and I feel the eggshells applied to her a lot. She was always the type that would get upset easily. When she would get very emotional, it would be hard to reason with her. She also has Orcus only 10 minutes on the Ascendant which is like having Pluto on the Ascendant. She is also a neurodivergent. Her birthday is today. So she has Sun in Gemini, but that longitude placement is in 12th house trine Neptune,and so her Sun is very Pisces like. She also has Sun sextile Pluto,and she has Sun parallel Pluto. Therefore, she has a Sun-Pluto bilevel,and so she has affinity with my Sun in Scorpio. so her Sun is even watery. She told me that my father was an ultrasensitive,emotional type. He was also a neurodivergent type. He had Moon in Pisces like me ,and it disposited by a stationary retrograde Neptune. There are other things too.

I stepped on the shell of a Cancer about 12 years ago, he was my ex husband. He still doesn't speak to me. But the funny side of it is, since we split, there were another 3 Virgos,(like me), stepping on his shells since, and he never learnt. He is actually going to move in with the latest one. Good luck, IP: Logged |

I think a totally sexy placement is a man with a little Cancer. That makes him just snuggly and cuddly enough lol. You know the phrase "I don't want a man who is prettier than I am"? I think this could be apply in that "I don't want a man with more Cancer than I have" Ami IP: Logged |

I guess its easy for me to say this after all I am fire and Earth...but my moon conjunct neptune is like having a water sign for a Moon and my Venus and Mercury are in Pisces. Every man I have ever loved has some major water placements, usually Moon or Sun. And I have never walked on egg shells around them. They are sweet, kind men....who pick up on the slightest nuances in your Energy.But I don't really walk on eggshells around anybody....I don't really see where I have to, since I don't require it from others. So that makes me wonder....why do you feel you HAVE to do that? It stands that you must WANT to walk on those eggshells or you simply wouldn't do it. That shouldn't be the fault of the element though. IP: Logged |

My mother is a Pisces mercury and venus, and that's pretty much all the water she's got. Her MC is Scorpio though, and so is her Chiron which conj her MC. When I was younger I walked eggshells with her ALL THE TIME. Still now, to an extent. Interestingly, she is pretty careless with the way she talks to family and if any one of us points out hurt feelings or just feelings, period, she bristles and gets irate. Then she turns on her Capricorn moon and Aqua sun and rising and is like, Stop taking things personally, you're too sensitive lol.She can dish out but she can't take it. Directness is not one of her strong suits. The Pisces mercury makes her slippery and want peace but it opposes her Mars in Virgo as well, so over the years she's gotten into acting highly passive-aggressive and denial is a very strong defense mechanism for her. Which is very annoying and can be frustrating when you just want to address something, deal with it, and move on. IP: Logged |

I was just thinking of you Hippi, and viola' here you are.I hope you are doing better and moving on from your Pisces ex. You deserve someone wonderful who knows what he's got. As to your question, sometimes I feel that way about scorpio men. Just some of them, and only some of the time. Like my father, for example. It's like I have to weigh my words with him (hard for Sag's sometimes) because I know his little "triggers." But, yet, on the other hand, I'm always so very drawn to Scorpio. A huge portion of the men that I am close to are water suns. Pisces and Cancer are just so easy for me to talk to, and the repoire (sp?) is instant. Having said that, I think the best water sun men have some Earth to them. Just my opinion of course, but Water with fire seems to make a man that reacts too hastily to emotional or sensitive subjects. Water sun men with air seem to be a bit baffled by their own emotions, and it's hard to read them, at least for me. Right now I've got a Water/Water/Water. lol. Yeah, wowzers, he's a trip. Definetly not of this world!! Best Wishes Dear IP: Logged |

In Heliocentric chart, Earth placement is exactly opposite the Sun in the geocentric chart. so
if a person has Sun in a water sign in Geocentric chart, Earth will be in an earth sign in Heliocentric chart I have Sun in Scorpio,and so I have Earth in Taurus. Heliocentric chart is said to be about the higher self. another thing to keep in mind is if your Sun is conjunct a heliocentric node, the Earth is conjunct the opposite heliocentric node
for example: I have Sun in 5'20 Scorpio conjunct heliocentric South Eris Node in 5'30 Scorpio, and so I have Earth in 5'20 Taurus conjunct heliocentric North Eris Node in 5'30 Taurus. ------------------ Raymond Supporting the Neurodiversity Movement A Different Mind Is Not A Deficient Mind. http://people.tribe.net/4b0cf8c4-1fc3-4171-92d3-b0915985bf95/blog IP: Logged |

Glacus, very interesting!I would have earth in Virgo, and that does not please me....however my Pisces ex would too and would explain his over-pickiness, critical side, etc.??? Gypsee, what Pisces ex??? I would not say I am "over him" but I am, had to work good and long at it, from trying to hate him, plotting to bring him down, financially, which I could do to an extent, to finally admitting I love the man, he was my one and only true love, and loving him enough to bless him and send him along the way on his path...Took me a while to get there, but I am there! blessings t IP: Logged | |
