As a Cancer, I've always been really curious about other people's "secret" home lives - especially the men I've dated. I'm that girl who secretly investigates your whole bathroom and medicine cabinets to figure you out. LOL but who doesn't! (Admit it - y'all love to do it, too!) My curiosity has unveiled some interesting things about people... I of course NEVER judge anyone. My cheeky lil Gemini Venus just can't help but take a wee peek at your "drawers"!

Anywho, three of my serious relationships (which is all of them, really) were with guys with strong Cancer and Virgo placements. To sum up my experience in one word: LAUNDRY. They're either in the process of doing it or talking about needing to do it. When they're finished, they CANNOT be disrupted whilst sorting, folding, and putting away their favorite t-shirt from Mom and only pair of two-year old jeans lest you want to be given the "death eye" while they chastise you for leaving a pile of dirty whatnot under your side of the bed. Sorry, but this Pisces Mars totally forgot that it was there while I was... erm... doing something else I've forgotten that I was doing instead. I'll do it later (read: two weeks from now).

My Cancer bf and I live with another Cancer with heavy Leo placements. His bathroom is his domain. All his grooming products are carefully placed and displayed for all to see. And nothing is spared expense. I mean - the boy has platinum silver NAIL CLIPPERS. He has a $600 projector set up on the wall next to his bed so he can display his reel (he's in film) to all guests, especially the ladies. The paintings in the living room are worth more than my previous annual salary. And, of course, his favorite person in the house is my Leo kitten who he spoils with attention and vice versa.

I currently go over on weekends and spend a few nights with my scorpio boyfriend (he lives by himself). Actually, he is a bit messy at home. He likes to throw his clothes everywhere (to which I have to pick up and put back in the right place). He does do his laundry, but he pays people downstairs at the apartment office to do his laundry (hahhaha, he's a busy scorpion who doesn't have time to do such things I guess!).

He likes his place to be neat and clean but he really doesn't clean his place much, so when I go over on the weekends I make his place sparkling clean and neat (which of course he appreciates).

He leaves used cups out everywhere, his dishes uncleaned and at the sink, leaving pots and pans on the stove (with some of the food junk still stuck to it). He also leaves his grooming stuff out everywhere in the bathroom. His cabinets are usually neat and clean (cuz its the things he doesn't really use often)

I seriously think it's a manly man thing, the messy-ness.

The other day I asked him if hes ever done a FULL load of laundry; sorting, washing, drying, putting away.
He said 'Yes, my hunting clothes, once.'
UGH!

He leaves the toothpaste cap off and toothpaste in the sink. He throws his shoes wherever they land (and they WILL stay there for months on end) he sets his dishes next to the sink...

I quit trimming the bushes (mainly because I cant reach them), a satellite fell off the house MONTHS ago... still in the bushes.

Ive just refused to do anything since he doesnt want to. I want him to suffer just as much as I have to (only difference is he is only here an hour maybe 2 awake.. Im here for 120 hours straight a week.)

Now the house is so backed up in cleaning I dont even want to live here.. But Im not doing it myself.
Teaching a taurus moon whos is lazy and stubborn and sloppy is becoming very difficult and fires up my aries moon a lot.

My wife keeps it even more perfect now.

As to women who couldn't handle that, it was a natural process of selection, wasn't it? Fortunately, or unfortunately, however you view it, I married a woman who's even more obssessive about everything than I am.

As for the curiosity thing, I have never gone through anyone's bathroom cabinet, ever. I wouldn't think to do it. I guess I don't find their medical issues interesting? I do like reading other people's blogs/twitters/facebooks. I find that sheds more light on people's personalities.

It's not so much about finding medical issues than just picking up small clues about one's personality through their bathroom stuffs. For example, in college, I was trying to date a Pisces. I noticed that he had a lot of mustache products (this was when Movember was becoming popular), so that Christmas I bought him a book on mustaches. Or another example would be if a guy has an extra toothbrush that looks fairly used. Does he have a girlfriend? Or a lot of girls over? Etc etc.

While I'm really bad with my laundry, I am Dictator Purrr of Kitchen Cleanliness. No one cleans up the kitchen better than I do. My stovetop is immaculate and I clean the stove top grates at least once a week. After the kitchen, I'm usually a Nazi about the bathroom, too. The boys bite the dust (or rather, bite the IMMACULATELY clean wood floors), when I clean up after them. I get obsessive about keeping the kitchen counters disinfected, too. Grime makes me want to crawl into a corner and weep.

He is a Libra sun/Sag moon/Cancer rising/Scorpio Venus/Libra mars.

My dad is also a clean guy. He hates messes, but he doesn't need the house to be immaculate. He likes things to be put away, nothing on the floors, no dirty dishes lying about, etc.

He's an Aries sun/Aquarius moon/Aquarius rising/Aries venus/Pisces mars.

My little brother is also fairly clean. His room is simple and minimalistic and he keeps things off the floors and i don't see many dirty dishes lying in his room. He used to be a messy kid but now that he's older (he's 20) he has changed to be more like my dad.

He is Scorpio sun/Leo moon/Virgo rising/Virgo venus/Scorpio mars.

I don't think it has to do with "manly men" being messy...I think it has a lot to do with how you were raised and whether or not you're just a pig.

Hmm, I really meant for this topic to be more about the little things guys do or have or love in their home that shows a little insight into her personality AND birth chart. The bathroom was really just an example. I mean, we can only talk so much about cleanliness lol. But that's my fault.

OK, new example... my Dad is an Aries Sun/Moon and Leo Rising. He LOVES to hunt. I mean, he's been hunting for the past 23 years. He hasn't missed a single deer hunting season. In his closet, next to his ties, he has green vault where he keeps two rifles and a shotgun. Tucked below his business suits and hawaiian shirts is his hunting gear and a box full of bullets. You would never think that such a cheerful guy like my Dad would love to shoot down animals twice his size.
