I have read a lot about the Cancer man and his relationship with his mother, but what about the Cancer men who have either lost their mothers during their younger years or the Cancer men who have no relationship whatsoever with their mothers? How do you think this will affect their behavior in their relationships with women?IP: Logged |

Maybe they will want their gf to mother them? I knew one Cancer sun guy who didn't really want to be mothered by anyone although he wanted his friends to always help him out by taking him places, so if you want to call that mothering, fine. He was really mean and grouchy, too. He would always put people down, then say he was kidding. He was really emotional about the friend thing and if his friends didn't come through for him, he would get really super upset and go on and on about how he always helps out and then no one is there for him. He did a lot of alienating though. Then I had another Cancer sun friend, a guy, too, and he was totally the nicest guy ever and he did the mothering, lol. He was like a mother hen. It depends on the Cancer sun, can go either way. They can be really sweet and caring toward you or expect you to be that way toward them and can really lean on people/be overly dependent.

My dad is a cancer asc and has moon in the 4th house conjunct neptune exact. 4th house moon modifies it to be cancerian. Moon/neptune squares his asc exact. He also has neptune/moon conjunct ic. Along with NN is the 4th house.he lost his mother when he was a young child, that seriously dramatized him.. He looks for a mother in his wife... My mother is able to do that... somehow... It's really sad either way. :/ IP: Logged |

There can be a "mother surrogate" in a person's life. An aunt, grandmother, older sister, neighborhood granny may fill that role in their life. It doesn't even have to be a woman. Sometimes the father is the one who actually does more of the nurturing (I'm thinking of my Italian brother-in-law here). I think with the changing roles in society and greater equality between the sexes, we'll be seeing more and more of this and need to take it into account when we read someone's chart.IP: Logged |

Cancer men, dated one, another Cancer asc in my life either have a love or hate situation with mom.The one I dated, would openly profess his love for his mom, but hated her at the same time, due to I suspect an issue he remembered as a small boy that damaged him greatly and his mom would not fess up. So, he projected his hate and suspicion of his mom onto me. The Cancer asc (Virgo sun) left me for his mom. He goes overboard to take care of a very capable woman, who has another live in son and another son lives close by. Yep! Cancer men and their moms..will always be some kind of issue~ IP: Logged |

I wonder if they will have intimacy issues or trouble expressing themselves if their mothers were absent or there's a certain level of disconnect between the Cancer man and his mother.IP: Logged |

I would think so, since the mother is the first young boy's attratcion, experience, etc with the female persona, and with Cancer and mother issues anyway,,,yea, I would think so. IP: Logged |

I'm currently dealing with two Cancer men: one is a childhood friend and the other one is a very special friend of mine who I'm crazy about. I've known both for years and I noticed that discussing their mothers is a touchy subject and they kind of gloss over the subject.IP: Logged |
