What are your favourite personality traits about yourself? Weaknesses? Do you feel like your Ascendant, Moon and/or Mercury signs affect the Cancer in you? How so?As a Leo Sun with 3 Cancer placements (Rising, Venus & Mars), I feel like my Cancerian traits dominate my Leonine ones. I am outgoing, ambitious, generous, kind; and I do like being the centre of attention SOMEtimes. But I'm reserved/introverted half the time and prefer not to be disturbed enjoying me-time. Wow I just realized how much I thrive on being and enjoy doing things by myself haha There are particular times where I feel shy, but in other circumstances I can be very social/mingly and an incessant talker (must be my 3rd House Leo Mercury at work). I'm also fiercely loyal (literally, my loyalty knows no bounds) and dreamy lovey-dovey, despite having a Sagittarius Moon. I'm quite over-analytic (emersed in the details of my interests), I have a phenomenal vivid memory, and I'm protective of my family & close friends (I'm even protective of my 4-year crush and we're not even dating! .. yet lol). I'm obsessed with babies and young children, and tend to think more of and plan ahead for the future rather than enjoy the present. I'm also very attracted to brilliant, educated, talkative/witty, mature, curious, open-minded, calm, caring/sweet, ambitious, independent, adventurous, athletic, health-conscious, physically/verbally affectionate, romantic, confident-but-shy, macho-but-soft, easy-going laid-back guys who are financially stable with enough money and can hold their own (so I know he can provide AND prioritize for our kids!). Basically, I like distinguished successful guys who strive to shine through work on a daily basis. However, I prefer to hold off on my 2nd bf unless I know for certain he has serious potential for hubby status. Yup, really looking forward to graduating uni in a couple of years, falling in love with my God-ordained soulmate, date for 2-3 years, get married, have 3-5 kids and peacefully live happily ever after  IP: Logged |

I have Cancer rising and I'm the exact same way. Except I don't like my moodiness.... I (and I'm sure others) could probably do without that  IP: Logged |

I'm Sun-Moon-Mercury Cancer and I sometimes feel like a sponge, lol. I quickly pick up the atmosphere moods. But I appreciate my feelings and emotional side, I feel those things are very feminine so it gets along my nature. Also my beloved ones think of me as a dominant personality, but not in a pushy or hard way. It's just they view me as strong, but sensitive. A nice match I think. And also I can be very dramatic with my aspected Venus in Leo, but I like this too. I love it that I love big and adore grand gestures and dramas. If the romance is dull - it's not for me  IP: Logged |

leo-cancer we have similar placement i'm a leo sun cancer rising-venus-jupiter but i have a libra moon..not one people have guessed that i'm a leo..they say cancer,libra ,pisces even gemini and when i say leo they're impressed..i'm really shy with most of the people i know but with my closest friends and my bf i'm really talkative and funny..i think that the cancer traits protect us in some ways..leo can be easily convinced,not suspicious,an easy victim in some cases..the cancer is the other way..i will not give my love in someone until he/she proves that deserves it..i agree with the moodiness it can be really annoying for the others..i also act like a needy kid sometimes also annoying.. all of my friends comes in my home,is the meeting spot and i love it !IP: Logged |

I have cancer rising and sun, mercury and mars in 4th house + cancer jupiter...so, very cancerian  I like that we can be so sweet and loving towards people (especially kids) and that we love our homes and immediate surroundings, and put very much love in those things like home, family and what is around us. I think it is a strength that we put so much energy in that and is protective of our "nest". If we build things, we gonna make sure it will last. Cancer is not superficial at all, though we can seem very simple. But I also think this can be a strength, that we are not that complicated and that we can just enjoy life and dont need much. We can enjoy life very much without having to be super rich and super successful. Success for a cancer is just having a nice home and nice family. And who can not like that, it's peaceful and harmony. BUUUUT we also have this weakness that we get moody and even bitc** and I also think that many cancers are downright lazy. We dont need much, and thats fine, but please why do we then have to complain about it everyday? There is nothing worse than a cancer that complains about stuff. I also think that we can be a bit too naive and sensitive. We cant take much critique, we take it way too personal and we are not especially strong emotionally. We need stability, we need our "base" or else we go nuts inside. I havent met ANY cancer who didnt needed a very stable environment to feel good. The more stable a cancer feel, the more happy they get. Not because we need everyday to be completely the same, but we just need to feel comfortable. This is also a weakness, cause cancer are not especially adabtable. We move slowly so any suddenly change in our lives, we take very seriously and it's hard for us to adapt to any new situations. That's why cancer people unfortunately dont like travelling (unless they got something else in their chart more dominating) We are like a crap in the water, we hold dear to what we love, but if we lose it, it's hard to find again and we can feel so lost, so alone, so vulnerable in the big ocean.

Sun & Moon conjunct in Cancer here.I consider always others' needs/opinions/wants. (Can't say that I've been whole my life that way though.) I can be a bit self-sacrificing. I'm generous and put a lot of energy for others sake. (I'm 6H/7H heavy too.) I like also that I'm hardworking and very strongwilled person. If I want to accomplish something, I'm ready to work my a$$ off for it. There have been many times when I felt like giving up but I've always gotten up in the end. I'm proud of that.  I usually get awkward when I have to take care of someone or make them feel comfortable though. We'll see if that happens to change in the future... I can forgive (it doesn't really take that much for me forgive) but I'll never forget if you've hurt me.  I don't have otherwise really great memory though, I get blackouts many times per day, it's quite annoying. My absolute worst trait is... that I'm very stubborn. At the same time it's one of my favorite traits though... I have 6 fixed planets in my chart and fixed houses are pretty prominent too. I have Cap Asc opposing my Sun and Moon. I appear pretty much opposite what I really am, I look like a grumpy cat lol. So yes it really contradicts with my personality. Some people have actually told to me that I look like idgaf. I have Leo Mercury in 7H. I sometimes exaggerate a lot when speaking. I enjoy telling dramatic stories, and I think I communicate in a 'flashier' way than my Cancer Sun/Mercury friend. IP: Logged |

Cancer sun/mercury and venus here I love being a cancer :-) I do, like others here, feel like a sponge & I certainly need to feel stability I have a cap asc and Aries moon. I used to hate my moon and I have grown to love it. Most people don't guess me as a cancer... I'm guessing that's due to my cap asc blended with my moon? But I feel very cancerian despite others' observations f me. I am very attached to family and home & I do love to be reassured and hate to admit that I need a lot of reassurance from a romantic partner despite feeling very comfortable with who I am The moods, well my Aries moon doesn't help the moods BUT it does help me get over things quickly (sometimes too quickly) So overall, yes I love being a cancer. I think we are really loveable, compassionate people who are intuitive and who enjoy helping and nurturing others xo IP: Logged |

I have a cancer ascendant. I would say that what I like most about it is the ability it gives to be a good listener and show empathy with people. I also like that cancer influenced people are usually comfortable one on one, don't necessarily need to plan crazy things to hang with them. The real drawback that I sometimes hate is the nostalgia. And not the positive nostalgia where you remember things fondly, events and such but the kind where out of nowhere you remember exactly how you felt at that moment and how things used to be....

Wow thats so true i can think about a time and remember the exact feelings i felt at that moment like i had a time machine haha and really miss those experiences im VERY nostalgic even the smallest of things can bring back a memory and all the feelings come pouring back like if im in the car and hear a song me and my ex liked i think back to that exacr time and the happiness i felt than i feel a stabbing feeling going through my heart when i come back to reality and realize its no longer like that I do like my cancer mars for the fact i can make someone feel very special and loved especially 1 on 1 i can connect with a person on a deeper emotional level and i actually like to take care of people if u will let me and if not i can give space thanks to my aqua moon and sag venus IP: Logged |

I am a Cancer Sun, Venus and Mercury. Cap Moon. Virgo Asc and Mars.I need a stable and tranquil home because my life outside my home is the opposite. I don't like kids but they like me. I don't need my partner to tell me he loves me, ever actually, as long as I feel I can trust him and that he doesn't rock the boat too much ie instigate arguments at which point I will blow a fuse. I don't like emotions really and prefer to just keep my brain active. I don't particularly care for family or traditions. I am clingy in the sense that I NEED to communicate about most things. Keep convo open at all times, I won't judge nor laugh, or I will start to "investigate" why things feel hidden from me and I HATE (!!!!!!) that feeling! It's a surefire way of making me your Nr 1 enemy. I like words and I like to play with words. If given a cold shoulder or the silent treatment too much I will eventually just completely shut down, and that's where an entirely new bag of **** comes into play! Do I like being a Cancer? I don't know. I am too Mercurial/Uranian to be able to answer that. IP: Logged |

Cancer sun and in my 10th house. I like the fact that it makes me caring and sensitive but it can also make me moody / sensitive. Also makes me want to mother everyone and some people don't need or want that. I just met a guy who has his moon in Cancer, he said something about not trying to be my daddy or act fatherly towards me. Being a Cancer sun , I love this from him! IP: Logged |
