Woahcakes

lol of course . Everyone thinks about how they perceive things constantly and why they may feel a certain way.

I just think tgat aquas do it more than the rest of the signs because they want to eliminate their emotions completely. But, the truth is that insecurity and fear are a fact of life. There's no way to eliminate them. You just have to accept that sometime's ur gonna feel vulnerable, and that's normal.

I'm not judging; just observing

Judging would be if l said ALL cancerians were tantrum lovers, or if l said that ALL Arians are immature

People get so testy when you notice a common trait and start freaking out about labeling EVERYONE like it. We all have similar traits based on something that is apart of us and sometimes we don't fit the mold but thats how it is.

I'm gonna sound like a Cancer now but why aren't people understanding? I feel like drama starts in every thread I create because I am being misunderstood all the time and what I say is being taken in a negative light. CHEER UP!

No............Not everyone may be that way because of other factors in their chart. I CANNOT believe that I need to explain in an astrology forum that there are general traits/characteristic of the sign it self but depending on the placements and other parts of the chart that that particular person may not necessarily express that trait.

My beloved is a Cancerian.
Very mature and even as a child was "too old too soon".
They do have their intense EMO moments, but are often far to serious about things, and if empathic like my husband;
they can be too affected by the emanations from others.
I think it depends on their other placements
whether they come across as immature, EMO, sensitive, empathic, or just plain crabby.
The big thing though, is the ones I know and have known,
must be very careful about drinking alchohol.
Two friends of mine, both July Cancerians;
drank themselves to death; one in his 20s, one in his 30s.
Two Cancerian women I know are both too old acting in my opinion.
Its hard to imagine either one ever being young.
But then again, I must confess;
Being a Scorpio, Cancerians (and Pisces) I usually like.
Some Cancer Celebrities for example that I like:
Dan Aykroyd
Kevin Bacon
Tom Cruise
John Cusack
Vin Diesel
Corey Feldman
Will Ferrell
Harrison Ford
Danny Glover
Tom Hanks
Deborah Harry
David Spade
Sylvester Stallone
Meryl Streep
Robin Williams

ehn, well to me it's just more fascinating proof that astrology WORKS. that is part of the application of generalities, and they can't really be eliminated entirely. i think the term 'generality' is so laden with emotion but it really depends on the context or the intention behind the generality. it's no wonder to me this thread raised some hackles, but as an aqua who has been generalized ABOUT in this thread, i feel fine about it because i know that it's just more proof that it works. every thread in this place is full of GENERALITIES, because without them we would have no basis for realizing the accuracy of astrology. when it feels like picking-on, that's when people start to feel defensive.

one example, perhaps, of the 'gift' of aquarian's non-attachment to emotions? i am not hurt nor do i feel defensive about having our shadow side pointed out. no big deal. it's just information [said the robot].

It's not just an observation because if it didn't bother you, you wouldnt have made a topic about it. And it can only bother you enough to make a topic about it when you're judging something as "annoying" or "wrong" "unfair" "messed up" etc. That means judging it...

In reply to Lara: I don't actually think the rest of the air signs are obsessed with eliminating emotions as much as aquarians. I think it's just a part of their quest to understand everything. Geminis and libras are similar but they do it by balancing other elements into their life that makes them more accepting of emotions. For example, geminis can just laugh things off from time to time, say "I don't know" and not see the quest for knowledge as a big deal, and libras are probably the most sympathetic air sign, not to mention balanced and mentally stable. Since, Aquariuses are a fixed sign i guess they have a harder time adjusting and can become too obsessed with it.

Generalizations can be iffy.
Like for example;
Scorpios are said to be jealous, and even vindictively so about it.
I find jealousy utterly illogical and am not a jealous person.

I just think it's annoying when people don't admit that they have emotions, honestly. If u had just admitted that you are generalizing and you do think cancers' tantrums are annoying as heck, then I would've dropped it. But I hate when people say what's on their mind to only later deny that they really feel that way at all. Play it straight.

I'm not offended at all. Like I said, that's just your opinion. I've gone on yahoo answers to rant about gemini, capricorns and aries lol. And I'm not ashamed to do that at all. Because it's completely normal to be judgemental sometimes

Now changing to a more sinister tone... Lol *said sarcastically* Some people are just too perfect to be HUMAN I guess >.>. You know what I mean?

But anyway, i'll drop it.

I never said observation...that was Lara and I made this thread so um.....none of that makes sense. You are taking this waaaaay too far, you need to relax about this. This is not about judging, it's about astrology in which a sign carries certain characteristics. There is a difference.

Okay...just forget it like I said I already dropped it.

There is no drama, though, just making an "observation."

I've had mixed experiences with Cancers, though I will say that I've been rubbed the wrong way by several, probably because my Aries moon can run over their feelings without realizing it. Plus my Saturn is in Cancer as is my Sun/Moon midpoint AND my South Node.... so as much as I get them intrinsically, I have had the experience of feeling like I have to walk on eggshells, or that I owe them something. Of course I've had other people say that to me, and I am not a Cancer, soooooooooo...

CrazyAqua, I think some people are objecting to the original phrasing of the post, which can come off sounding like, I don't mean to do XYZ BUT I will anyway lol.

btw, what sign's your Saturn in? Maybe Cancer influence is just something you don't like. Or maybe you can come off sounding flippant to your Cancer friends sometimes. I dunno, this stuff goes both days.

My mother and grandmother are both Aquas and were actually the queens of temper tantrums, and very, VERY emotional. I remember ducking for cover all the time
I actually think Aqua influence can have the opposite impact on emotions because if the Aqua influence is to try and rationalize, them, then it's only logical that the energy sometimes has nowhere to go and then can come out in, dare I say, *unpredictable* emotional ways? Whereas Cancers tend to be more 'emotional' but a lot of them are just familiar with emotions because they kind of live in that world regularly.
I only mention this again because it goes both ways - we're perceiving someone as being a certain way, but in order for us to perceive, we also look at what is being triggered within us to have that perception in the first place.

Hey I ain't saying that Aqua can't be immature or moody I know I am! Being ruled by Uranus you don't know what in the world you're gonna do next It's just that this was about Cancers.

MVM- My Saturn is in Capricorn. Funny my Jupiter is in Cancer! lol Although its at 0 and RX I've wondered about that.

I'm confused because I don't see the how "immaturity" is just a trait of Cancers because immaturity is in just about everyone..so I don't get the point except to pinpoint something on Cancers to put them in a "bad light" so to say..

And also "tempers" could be a sign of mental illness; I have BPD, but that doesn't make me immature..

Hell, it's a serious illness that I wouldn't wish on my enemies..=/

OK maybe I should give some examples to show it's not my Aquaness
Take this, a 50 year old, stomping her foot continuously when she isn't hearing what she wants to. Same person mocking oh mocking in the most childish way I have ever seen in the middle of a conversation that she just blew up for no reason, (well you didn't agree with her)...then the foot starts again lol Now she'll just pout and ignore you cause she just can't handle it. When you try to talk and will talk over you in the mocking voice so nothing will get solved. This is just one example.

It's much more than just emotions or tempers or outbursts. Kind of hard to explain without actually being around those I am speaking of.
