I don't know you so I'm not trying to invalidate your experience but I really don't appreciate you trying to pigeonhole me with whoever crossed you just because we happen to share the same sign. Ironically, you just proved OUR point in your above post.

I've had the unfortunate displeasure of crossing paths and living with low cancers like the ones mentioned elsewhere in this post and yes, they are that bad that I would prefer not to have their company ever again. I've also met people who show both the high and low traits of the sign (which is probably the better majority of us), and I've met and known of some very evolved ones that make me want to better myself and look at how I'm contributing to the greater good.

I think it all depends. Everyone can get caught up in a cycle of gossip. My Leo friend knows what is going on in the life of every celebrity (supposedly) and presents it as law.

Live-and-let-live, to me, is a mutable thing and more because they're content to go with the flow. I don't see that as fixed sign energy at all (especially not Humanitarian/social Activist Aquarius).

Just asking, because I am really averse to b*****ing about people, I don't enjoy it and I avoid it. Like everyone else, I engaged in it in highschool, but quickly left that group of friends, didn't like who I was becoming.

However, totally agreed that un-evolved Cancers, much like Scorpios, are manipulative, behind the scenes, dark and downright nasty.

Oh, dear...well, I stubbornly refuse to believe a certain sign can be that bad, but I do admit Cancer is my least favorite sign (followed by Libra, and I've got many reasons for that as well), although my best friend is a Cancer. There's just too many Cancer people from my environment that are more than just a bit negative. And I do think if my friend's chart wasn't Sag/Gem flavored, she'd be quite negative too...Very intelligent still but negative & hateful.

The problem I have found with my Cancer girlfriends is that they can be quite negative and standoffish. One cut me out of her life after she had been going through a bad time (laid off) and then when I was laid off she finally returned my call. We talked for 4 hours that day and then I moved. I emailed to say hello about three months later and she tells me that she's not feeling the right "vibe" between us. Seriously? She did not say that during our 4 hour conversation, which I think is quite immature and shows poor communication. That was a bit too "misery loves company" to me. The Cancerian shell bothers me to no end, but I must say that I've been guilty of that kind of behavior with a former friend. In all fairness, this friend and I were somewhat incompatible (she is an Aries).

I do think, actually, I know, that there are wonderful things about Cancerians. They are very empathetic and friendly when they feel safe. Their intuition is often on point (and even more so if they can control the tendency to logically dismiss (imaginary) slights), and can be amazing listeners.

@Benedict Moon, I think what bothers me is the "feeling" that a slight has taken place instead of an out-and-out slight. I'm guilty of this myself, I'm sure, but often times my Capricorn moon makes me keep it to myself and I will think about it (which is not healthier than confronting it head on and asking if there is something else the person who said whatever means). I have a friend who is always talking about these "feelings" she gets about people. The thing is, she is usually talking about Leos who I have found to be pretty direct, so I doubt they are not saying what they mean.

However, if you're venting about someone you have LEGIT concern about (ex. a co-worker who's lazy as hell and passes work off to everyone else) then I will listen to you just so you can vent... because the chances are that this person has p*ssed everyone else off and is creating a bad enviroment. See, I'm a Virgo Moon so I like my conversations to be productive.

Anyways, my point is that gossiping is Mercury's domain. Theoretically, I think anyone who is a chronic gossiper will usually have that or afflicted Gemini/3rd house since this is about 'moving' communication. I don't like getting stuck on sun signs for this because that's too one dimensional for my taste.

I say ignore all these negative things about Cancers. I am definitely not a gossiper, and maybe slightly judgemental, but moreso just of people who want to be perceived as douchebags or ***** . I could care less about the rest. Why would you want to be perceived as someone like that in society?

posted January 23, 2011 09:15 PM            

I don't care for most gossip either and neither do most of the Cancers I know, and yeah I may pass judgements (in my head) but its usually perceptively based and not on what anyone else told me (in other words: 9/10 my first impressions are usually correct).

Re: female Mooners, I can't even form a uniform opinion about Cancer females because every one I've known are radically different from one another. I guess the two with Aries Moons were very positive 'move foward' type of people, the one with the Libra Moon was a damn good dresser, the Scorpio Moon one totally 'got me', and I dunno. The only one I can think of with the teenage mentality was an older one I worked dayshift with in Nursery, but the only birthdata I have on her is that she was born on June 24th.

The cancer women I've met were all very sweet, impulsive, aggressive, and had strong opinions. They had a vulnerable look to them, but at the same time were very strong. They were also very nice and what I would consider "cool" ..because they get bored easily like me so they were always doing something new to stave off boredom.

Negative aspects is that sometimes they were irrational...and got very upset if someone was "trying to be cool" and was not being themselves.
