Cancer sun, Cancer moon (that's the most he told me) We met in astrology class....!!! He approached me, but because I'm in a relationship I haven't made much of an effort to put myself out there. But anyway, he's friends with my good friend so whenever I'm with her he tags along. He's funny, smart, deep from what I've caught on. Last week we all went to a party, I was in a Bad mood so I made as little contact with people and preferred to stay by myself, he kept trying to talk to me and I didn't want to be rude so I gave him very short responses, I assume he took it as me being offensive and backed off. Add to the fact that he's been telling my friend what a sweet person he thinks I am, kind of weirded me out.So I seen him in class today, said hello was friendly etc and all of a sudden he gets quiet and ignores me. My friend also noticed this. Usually hes the one coming up to me saying hello and whatnot, I said hello and he mumbles "ya hi" LOL. I asked "Is there a problem Michael?" he says "I'm fine." I don't think he was, so I left it alone. My friend starts talking to him and he seems receptive, but whenever I say something he gets quiet and act like he's upset with me. I asked "Did I do something? Would you like to talk about it?" He straight up ignores me, my friend asked what his issue was and he mumbles "nothing." And then she mentions my boyfriend and then he gets up and moves to the other side of the room. I asked her if I did something wrong? She said "Well he seemed happier before you got here. He was actualy about to tell me a story and then you came then he just seemed upset." I really don't like people being upset with me so I clearly think maybe I did something wrong. I go up and ask him why he's upset and he ignores me and just taps his foot. Not getting anywhere, I just leave and go about my day. I don't really get it. Seems VERY moody. I don't like anyone upset with me so my job is to fix it. He's normally very pleasant and friendly towards me but today was a new side, I'm thinking I must've killed his mom or something to get this treatment. Any cancer influenced people, what do you think is the problem? I hate when people are upset and I sense I upset them and do my best to fix it. I've asked him for his birth details all he wants to tell me is he is a cancer sun/moon

He probably thinks you're moody because of the way you acted towards him at the party. He probably thought your curtness was a of telling him to back off. So he's understably hurt.Not sure if there's much to do with astrology. IP: Logged |

i have always, always found cancer men to be extremely moody individuals. they are just way too sensitive and depressive. depending on what your own sun sign is you might want to reconsider a relationship with a cancer man if moodiness bothers you. they can be extremely romantic and generous, but just too depressed for me, they are frequently in a 'down' mood and drain others' energy. my least favorite sign by far.IP: Logged |

I'm cancer sun, scorp moon. I know a pisces with a Cancer rising and plenty of other signs with cancer moons. All of them, including me can be at times mega moody. The Pisces with a cancer rising especially. Cancer moons to me seem less moody but VERY sensitive so if something touches them, they will clam up. That's just my experience. Good luck IP: Logged |

I find it really odd that you are starting a topic "Cancer moodiness" when it was your bad mood that caused you to be standoffish and withdrawn with your friend in the first place... I mean, you know what the problem is. You pretty much spelled out in the post that your behavior at the party alienated him. Go apologize or at least acknowledge to him that you weren't at your best at the party. Don't make it an "omg moody Cancer" thing - you're not fully owning up to your part in this situation.

Whoooooooooops!! I can see how telling you what the problem is, after you asked "what do you think is the problem?", was totally off-topic and missing the point. My bad!!! IP: Logged |

Them Cancers are really over the top sensitive, so you being aloof towards him and moody that day might have caused him to take it personally and think you were directing that at HIM. Lol. Don't worry, he'll snap out of it in a few days time.IP: Logged |

You still missed the point, so now I guess you're odd and obnoxious. And no, I don't have responsibility. Just because I was aloof or whatever doesn't make me responsible for someone's moodiness. Not my problem if they take an act that wasn't even related to them way too personally. Please don't say cancers feel the undercurrents of things because no, i don't agree, seems like they tend to misonstrue situations and cause their own moodiness if anything. IP: Logged |

Maybe he doesn't realise that it wasn't related to him. (Please don't hurt me!!! *Ducks for cover* Just a thought, that's all) IP: Logged |

You've upset him by not talking with him (I didn't say 'to him' as you don't talk TO people, you talk WITH them) at the party, so now he likely thinks you're hot and cold, or moody, as you seem to be calling him The thing is, with astrology, you need to look at the persons ascendant to work out his personality, as 1st house is personality, not the SUN, as most astrologers would leave you to believe. So your ignorance of astrology is leading you to label his behaviour as Cancerian, when in fact his ascendant is likely to be something else other than Cancer. You were mean to him, in his eyes, and now he isn't talking to you. Get over it and leave him alone. Only time can heal. That, and your own acceptance of taking responsibility for your actions which have led him to not engaging with you. IP: Logged |

^ that's not true. The moon sign is more important than asc and sun still shows alot of a person's main personality. Asc is just like the sprinkles on top of the ice cream, but not the icecream itself lol.IP: Logged |

It is best to see Sun as ego,to work from there. As for rising and personality,it is natural connection,rising as a spiritual and physical body. How can you say ascendant is just sprinkles on top (to stay in metaphor)?IP: Logged |

Because the asc *colours* your personality, but it's not completely who you are inside is it?Say you're a leo with a cappy asc. Inside you're warm and flamboyant, expressive. On the surface you may appear quite emotionally controlled and sometimes cold and reserved. Cappy traits may be part of what makes you, you too, buttt at the end of the day, you're a leo and those traits are more prominent. I'm an aries rising, and I can definitely feel it, but I'm quite libran and virgo like too. IP: Logged |

One's chart isn't built on Sun,Moon etc but Ascendant! What are you saying,in situation when rising and Sun would be more compatible,rising would gain in significance? I suppose that's why you choose signs in quincunx to illustrate your point.IP: Logged |

Check this little trick out. Outside of the wheel has a sign on the ASC. The OUTSIDE of the wheel - your outer personality, or MASK. The 1st ruler is then placed in a sign. That sign is your INNER personality.This is logical as both stem from house 1, which is everything to do with personality.. The sign on the OUTSIDE as your mask, while the sign on the INSIDE is your real, true self. The people who say Sun is personality look at astrology from a planet point of view, not a house point of view, which is the correct way to look at astrology. Sorry Linda Goodman about this, but your books and work is still valid, only if you look at rising sign, not sun sign. Lindisfarne, cancers can be like that, but a sign to completely ignore you after a hurt like you may have given him could well be a Scorpio riser. All or nothing with them, apparently. IP: Logged |

Hmmmm....I think I'll speak for myself; seeing that I have been labeled "moody" and "changeable" by so many people in my life. Yes, cancer moon is very sensitive to rebuffs or cold treatment. I recall that on my first day at work,my boss was very cold and aloof to me. I took it very personaly and labeled him a "no go zone".Even when he is nice and courteous, I maintain a very aloof demenour. To me it seems like a defense mechanism. I am bubbly, warm and receptive to people(when first meeting them), but when I sense that the feelings are not being reciprocated by the other party, I distance myself from them. And this includes changing my expression whenever they talk or just giving them one word answers. I tend to put out what I pick up; and so if you are cold and indifferent, I absorb that energy and put it back out to you. Sometimes the moon in cancer can make a person so super-sensitive, they tend to personalize things that were not necessarily meant for them. This tends to happen even when that was not the case. If you really want to make amends with the situation you have with the guy, try a heart to hearty talk. And I don't mean playing a guessing game about what you may have said, or not have said to offend them, because that would suggest to them that you see their hurt as "irrational". Try to start the conversation with,"Okay enough already , I get it. I am sorry about the way I behaved the other day, I was just not in a good space.There were some stuff going on in my life and I didn't mean to be so cold towards you. I realize that if it was you who behaved that way towards me, I would have been equally offended.That was not my intention at all and am sorry." He should respond with denying that that was not the reason he has been withdrawing from you(classic cancer reaction) and then ask you to detail what the issue was, in the first place.Prepare for this because I have dated moon in cancers long enough to know that "a big emotional reveal" is necessary....

If this is the way you speak to someone when you're irritated, I can understand why he may be upset with you. Did you tell him that you didn't want to talk to anyone? If you were in a bad mood and wanted to make as little contact with people, why did you even go to a party? Isn't that the point of a party? Clearly nothing there would have made you feel better since the merrymaking parts of parties require socializing... I'm not sure why you would feel weirded out by him saying that you're a sweet person. Just last week you were complaining about people your age being afraid of you or whatever. If someone told my friend that he thought I was sweet, I would think that he was a nice guy and appreciate the compliment. You were distant and "short" with him through no fault of his own, even attended the party with your friend and him, so why is it a surprise that he's acting the same towards you? This has nothing to do with astrology. This is about him being mad at you, and he just happens to be a double Cancer. IP: Logged |

I did it to illustrate the difference that's all. There's no point in comparing two water signs for example, since they all share the same traits btwn em (with of course other distinctive traits too).

It's not just the asc. It's about the sun, moon, venus etc. You said "the first house shows your personality" when it's actually more your whole chart isn't it? All the planets in different houses indicate your true personality. It's NOT just the first house o_O. If that was the case, I should be completely arian. And it's not only about the first house ruler falling in a specific house either... Cos that is only one *small* part of a person. IP: Logged |

Although cancerian moodiness can be a block between two moon-wiggles, I believe that it pales inc comparison to the long drawn out morose blackening periods of a saturnine wiggle woggle...just my view...although both signs can be moody, one comes and goes like water while the other stays for ages like epochs on terra firma....land vs. water...difference I guess.IP: Logged |

I know you didn't ask me, but let me take a shot at this....I think the ruler of the ascendant varies so much that it's difficult to say... for example...an ascendant sign with no personal planets in it is likely to give someone a shape shifter affect....a weak will in early life, but very talented after or near the second Saturn return, to the point of being literally, a trickster...or an shape shifter....which isn't bad or good.......but this depends..because if the ruler of the the first is conjunct the sun...then you can clearly tell that the person is ruled by that planet...for example...gem ascendant merc conjunct sun in any house especially Leo, gives a mercurial vibe which is unmistakable...unless other planets are also conjunct the sun....a stellium, as they say in franswinglish.

wow mintgirl...I think that's brilliant. I always wondered how to reconcile sun-personality-soul to esoteric ascendant-soul theory...and it makes sense...that perhaps the soul is a combination of things in the chart...like the rising rulers sign and that signs ruler, and taht signs, ruler and so on...until you get to the final dispositor perhaps and that is the inner core of being....and then this flavors the soul as well...and it's just an endless fractal pattern that gives a feeling or overall vibe....but this would make sense...my ruler is in Sagittarius....and it's pretty dead on...that my inner being is more like a Sagittarius....and my friend's ruler is in leo, and he's more like leo...but through a prism of the ascendant of course....which for us scatters colors....
