This is one of those topics that have been talked about to death, but I finally experienced first-hand the full “wrath” of a Cancer. My Cancer Moon ex and I broke up a few days ago. We dated for about four months when we were in school, broke up, then a year later, he tracks me down and wanted to try again. The first time around was awkward, I didn’t have much experience with guys before him. But this past year has been amazing. I was initially very cautious because he hurt me once already, but I ended up falling in love. It seemed like we were very happy and my instincts told me he cared for me greatly…until we had our first real fight on Sunday over something incredibly stupid. He completely iced me out. Didn’t reply to my texts or return my calls, which was not like him at all. He always replied even after we have our little quarrels (which were very rare). This made me go into a frenzied worry because I thought; the fight wasn’t anything major so he can’t be ignoring me. Maybe something happened. Long story longer, it wasn’t until after I asked his coworkers if they saw him on Monday that he finally texted back and it was apparent he wanted to break up, which I finalized after realizing what he did. I still love and miss him, but it’s just too emotionally draining and he had no regard for my feelings whatsoever. My question is, why do they do that?! I understand that they're sensitive, but it’s like freaking sabotage. The issue could have been resolved easily if we just talked about it. And my Gemini Moon needs to talk things out. Crabs are so confusing.IP: Logged |

LOL, try being a cancer sun AND gem moon! Yeah, I'll admit I used to do the silent treatment when I'm mad. Honestly, I think its a power move with a cancer so they have the so called power. I actually wrote a different comment originally bc I didn't see the part about him outright breaking up like that. To be honest, that surprised me since I've experienced it as him wanting you to run back to him. I'm not totally convinced he's completely gone. Just give him space and if he does return, don't let him ice you out again. Talk about finding a better solution than the silent treatment. IP: Logged |

I'm Cancer Sun/Gemini Moon so you can imagine the contradiction, but when I was younger the only way I could cope with being mad was the silent treatment, as I gotten older it's not so bad. But the silent treatment is a coping skill for most Cancers, is it self-sabotage, really depends on situation. A large emotional problem makes Cancers shut down, especially when the feelings are very strong, feeling actually hurt Cancers, it goes directly to the heart and the brain/memory, some Cancers will act like you don't even exist if you make them mad enough. Emotions in other signs are just emotions, but every emotion in Cancer is always magnified. I personally think Cancers get scared of their own anger, as it's something we do very poorly, we just don't handle anger and confrontation well. For a Gemini Moon you need to air out the situation but unless he has air placements I don't see him doing that, maybe you guys just aren't compatible. When stuff happens, there is always a reason for it...but I hope it works out for you either way. IP: Logged |

I can relate to the ignoring spell - I am a cancer sun Aries moon and recently told this Scorpio sun cancer moon guy my feelings for him & he hasn't spoken to me since(I made a thread too, lol) He's been ignoring me since I sent the messages Sunday & I haven't said anymore since i am trying to give him space but it definitely hurts bc I like to talk things out also I hope yours comes around! Being ignored seems soooo childish IP: Logged |

I really do need to step away from the fight and recover and then I can come back in a more logical manner. I do feel overwhelmed by my emotion and am afraid I'll say something I'll regret later.

I can see where you guys are coming from. He’s very sensitive and clams up to any perceived insult. He knows how important communication is to me and he’s pointed out the lack of communication in his previous relationships were the main reason things ended. But he still wasn't very forthcoming. I still love him very much and I wish with every fiber of my being that he would have just talked to me. It was such a stupid argument in retrospect. But the rational part of me thinks, this may be for the best, which was why I let him go. Like what Comatoes said, sometimes, you’re just not compatible. I don’t want to be with someone who shuts me out every time we have an argument. It’s like he has no regard for my feelings whatsoever when he’s in that state of mind. quote: Originally posted by Comatoes: For a Gemini Moon you need to air out the situation but unless he has air placements I don't see him doing that, maybe you guys just aren't compatible.

No air except for Libra Pluto. He does have a Leo Sun and Sag Mars. It definitely brightens him up, but I think it works against him at times because it actually makes him more impulsive when he has the negative feels.IP: Logged |

I don't think being a Cancer is any excuse for shutting people out without talking to them first. I can't imagine not being able to communicate through the end of a relationship, that's very immature of him and unfair to you. I have a Cancer Sun but it's hard for me to relate because it's in the 3rd and Moon conj. Mercury so naturally I need communication. Personally when I shut someone out I give them fair warning. It's never a way of avoiding conflict since unlike most Cancers I don't do that. I will say that you are probably better off without him if he is the kind of person who would do something like this.IP: Logged |

I am a cancer Moon and Mars. We have very, very deep feeling. However, if someone really betrays us, we can cut off like a knife. The person can be dead to us and we can be cold as ice. I have that. It takes a lot( and I mean a lot) to get to this point but it does happen.This can happen when people harass me on and on and on, too. They don't realize the power of a Cancer Moon. We are very sweet and so people think we are weak, but we are not.------------------ Want To Ask Any Question About Bible Prophecy? Go For it.

Could he be experiencing the opposition transiting Pluto and square with Mars? If so, his feelings may be that much more magnified and you may want to steer clear-in case he just blows up. On the other hand, you could also continue to send messages and insist on contact. Eventually, he'll crack. A break-up that is a consequence of arguments between the two parties is still very emotionally charged: It can't be over just like that. A resolution needs to happen in order to ascertain whether or not this is indeed what both parties want-rationally. IP: Logged |

Yes, my sweetness has been taken as weakness, time and time again. I am very, by nature. I hate to see someone bullied. I hate meanness. People see that and think they can walk on you. I will walk away, if I can but if the person won't stop, I will turn around and pay them back and I have always won, so far  ------------------ Want To Ask Any Question About Bible Prophecy?

Cancer sun, Gemini moon and venus here.Even tho i'm past 30 years now i do use it from time to time.. But never in a close relationship with girlfriend. I have a strong need to communicate with the person closest to me, and if someone who i care for would do the same to me i really suffer hard... Curse you wonderful scorp girls!  Being angry at someone and showing it to them directly is a exposure of feelings. If the person does not include my closest family and friends i rather keep it all in the shell and watch them suffer in my silence. Tho Pluto is all over my natal chart and personal planets so i think i fit the general description of a scorpio better. IP: Logged |

He seemed rational alright. Cold almost. Been doing a lot of self reflection these past few days and it bothers me how I spent Friday and Saturday at his place. When I left it was laughs and kisses. Then bam! he gets this upset over a stupid fight (two out of five people I talked to said there wasn't even a fight to begin with). Been reading up on the Mars retrograde. I blame it on this, but I'm still undecided if I should swallow my pride and reach out once again at a later time when things cool down. He's never acted like that towards me. Oh and ScandinavianCrab, us Scorpio ladies are quite wonderful :P. IP: Logged |

Swallow your pride, all pride does is ruin relationships besides it is mars retro and people are acting different than usualIP: Logged | |
