So all I really have to go by is the textbook description, but only half applies (like with every other Cancer description). It does feel like an emotional antenna--->> its easy for me to percieve the feelings/situations of the enviroment around me without even asking... but the sentimental part is debatable. For instance, my taste in music can be pretty retro, and history is my favorite subject, but I have very little personal nostalgia of my own. Again, that could be because of various heavy life experiences and lessons, IDK. I just have more of a desire to dwell/daydream on possibilities and move foward with life than reflect on my own past.

I'm very bad at connecting with other people, I've noticed; I think I can count on one hand those I'm actually close to. Then again, I am a lone water mercury here, LOL. Memory is also very tricky due to an opposition from Neptune, and I can have the most irrational thoughts...but still make the most rational decisions (mutual reception?).

Family is also not a very interesting topic for me, unless its to complain/poke fun at their idiocyncracies. XD

I tend to see both sides of an issue and have a hard time making a decision on stuff like politics, religion or relationships with others. If I don't have a mental connection with someone, I generally lose interest pretty quickly. I don't know if this helped haha

I almost thought that could be more of your gemini sun, but when I really thought of it...I really don't affiliate myself very easily. The only affiliation I have is the one I was baptized into as an tot...the Roman Catholic Church. And even then, I don't have alot in common with it besides a love for Jesus, views on abortion, and their Christmas parties. Technically I should have broke ties with it years ago, but then I think...it really doesn't matter. There are some things from there that are still useful to me, and there's just other stuff that isn't. It won't make a difference in my life whether or not I'm labeled that way tommorow.

I've only made one real decision to enter a romantic relationship before, every other interaction I've pretty much waited for the person to make the move, show their true colors, or go crazy from my side-stepping. Overcautious.

Of course then again, I also have an Unaspected Gemini Venus, so it could be the combination of the two energies.

I love water mercuries. I haven't known as many as I'd like.. My best friend has Pisces Mercury like myself. My longest relationship has been with a Scorpio Mercury guy (we're still friends). The man I am in love with has Cancer Mercury trine his Neptune in Scorpio (My Mercury turns it into a grand trine).

I have a new friend with Scorpio Mercury. I can't see her very often, but she might be moving to my city soon!

Benedict Moon*, I agree also with what you're saying about not feeling like revealing yourself, although maybe it's my Sag ASC but sometimes I'm an open book and very outgoing. I think it usually occurs when I come across a fiery person and they initiate outgoing behavior.

And I think the word for what I was talking about above (a big metaphor) is allegory. I love those. Books that I've read that have had those in the past I can't think of at the moment (duh, Nursing School taking over my brian) but there have been many. Don't do anything else artistic other than write, but I love surrealism as an art form. I also like alot of Goya's stuff. I also have a tarot deck that I've used/analyzed endlessly because of its extensive art and symbolism.

My chart ruler is actually in Sag so there are the rare occasions when I can do the same thing, and that's usually under the influence of the 'magic serum'...huehaha. Then of course, secretive Cancer planets and 8th house moon regrets everything the next morning.

Not always....alot of people have mercury in the sign before or after their sun sign. I've always been curious as to what that's like, honestly. Is it a hassle, or is it just a minor annoyance? I have Sun and Venus in two VERY different signs and it can be a little rough sometimes. Hmmmmm.

The only conjunction(I have no trines or sextiles) is to Chiron(ugh) and in the 12th house(double ugh).

When I was still at University, I wanted to minor in psychology...still don't know why I didn't. I have taken psych classes towards my major however and enjoyed them. Its very informative and interesting.

I just thought of one kooky way how metaphorical speech had me hitting a block: I started a thread a long time ago on a certain aspect being "The Guardian Angel Aspect" but in it, people literally started talking about Angels and how they 'guided them' or whatever. I literally wanted to bang my head against a desk.
