Hm. If I liked someone a lot I guess I could handle it if it was occasional.

I've seen Capricorns do this while looking at you like "really?"

Do you mean the kind of person who can handle the intensity of others' emotions without breaking? If so, then Scorpio, hands-down. I have two in my life whom I am close to, and they embody the 'emotional rock' archetype. It is incredible, and commendable. I am like this most of the time, too, unless things become exceptionally awful in my own life; but even then, I am always trying to lend an ear and counsel others out of empathy.

I agree Neptune may have something to do with this, as well. The 'natural counselor/healer' archetype who can accept and easily filter out the pain of others. I have Moon-Neptune and I have experienced this as a result.

I am also thinking Chiron in aspect to personal planets, the Moon in particular, since the Chironic person will be very familiar with what it means to hurt, often from those close to him/her, and empathy is more likely. Interesting thing about Chironic people is that we are empathetic but very understated in our empathy - soothing but subtle, unable to give over-the-top displays of emotional affection in response to someone's pain, but extremely empathetic and healing without being overt in our actions and words.

Aquarius. We just tune it out and pretend that we are listening when we aren't.

There's a Capricorn in my life. No matter which way my passions swing, he remains the same. He is quiet, patient, empathetic, and forgiving.

The problem is, I don't think he EVER takes me seriously. It seems like he is constantly, quietly chanting to himself, "this too will pass"

I feel protective of Pisces. I think they can take a lot, but I don't think they should take as much as they do. I think Scorpios can take a lot, but know when to quit.

I am Cancer Sun, Taurus Moon. If I love you, there's really nothing you can do to freak me out. I'll just be trying to fix you. But really that's the blind leading the blind.

My solution to problems is eating and sleeping- then more crying and acting out.

Are you referring to being able to emphasize and serve a source of strength for them? As a Pisces Moon, I have a positively aspected moon so I feel have the sensitivity, depth, and patience to handle whatever people throw at me. The Cap energy keeps me more level headed and rational as well. Believe me, I have had many unexpected reactions and emotions to deal with.

I think it goes back to Chiron and Mercury in my chart too. Part of me wonders if I should have been a counselor, for people really open up to me and really share things they wouldn't do with most people. No matter how terrifying or upsetting the story is, I can always place myself in their shoes and find a way to be a rock of stability. Many times unexpectedly.

Capricorn and Pisces. From an experiential perspective, I say this because anyone who handled "strong reactions and emotions" from me was a Capricorn, without a doubt. And God knows how many times I have endured this very thing from others.

Capricorn will *feel* what you say deeply but be silent about it. Even slightly appalled that you could do so much with your feelings (they couldn't look themselves in the eye if they did the same, though they sometimes truly want to).

Aqua I feel may not fully understand such a reaction but may speak about it, despite how irrational and strange and uncomfortable it is for them. Pisces will intuit it and take in so deeply and try to verbalize it without feeling the influence of the emotion taking over them.

I have to place my bet for sure on Capricorn though.

That's not handling strong reactions then...that's called being dismissive.

"Handling others without breakibg?" Yes! And I used to have a Scorpio moon friend, he was very good at listening to outbursts without reacting himself.

Lmao! Oh how I relate. It's true, I'm a Taurus moon and if I love you I wob't get freaked out either. And ditto about Capricorns - I know a Capricorn moon who's that way with me. Love him.

Pisces sun, pisces moon here!

Strong reactions and emotions all very welcome! I WANT people to show all that. This is what it means to live and to BE human!

And besides, I need to do this at work as well - I do research at a hospital and my patients are mostly marginalized individuals, living on streets with drug and alcohol addictions, HIV and Hep C, etc... All these people come and see me with loads of problems and emotional turmoil. I sense it and my intuition helps me a lot in refining how I approach them, or choosing the right words. One wrong move/words and oh they can FLIP, 180 degrees (especially for individuals with mental illness).

I know Pisces are known to be very sympathetic, but can be too compassionate and get carried away. But I have learned to not let my emotion merge with theirs so I can be all pisces, to think in their shoes, while I give them the support they need. I just realized that crying with them about their issues, won't help them overcome the issues. They need a strong guidance - I need to be there to provide that for them.

Sorry I kinda went off topic..

Yes it is, it's just a different way of handling it.

Cancer Sun …It appears I live to read people without them opening their mouth.
Very strong sensitivity, I can delve in people's life and just know them. The best / worst part is I put myself in the other person's shoe so it's difficult for me to not forgive anyone once I understand their point of view..

Touché, although I literally responded within 2 minutes of my waking up this morning so I didn't care to explain to the fullest extent.

It's still dismissive, and not what I meant by saying "handling strong emotions." Ignoring someone's strong emotions is your reaction to them, and is irrelevant to how you comfort the person, if you want to comfort the person in times of distress..which is what I was inferring when I asked about "handling" them.

What are your other placements? I'm intrigued because I figured everyone would be listing their moon sign. I know Cancers can suss out a "vibe" wherever they are, but I didn't know they read people this deeply. Most that I know are logical beings and not emotional ones (the one I'm closest with is a lawyer and yet he can't argue with me...I blame his Cancer Sun / Cancer Moon / Mercury in Leo vs. my Aries Sun Taurus Moon Mercury in Aries.)

There are probably specific aspects that help with this. However, I do think that NOT being void of any particular element helps you to understand people better. You can related to almost any sign.
For some reason, I often catch myself saying 'I cannot be shocked or surprised by anything you say. I can be caught off guard, but nothing is too deep or strange to me'... I think that is down to my Scorpio rising tbh and perhaps my Venus/Pluto opposition (?) anything deep, intense, taboo or strange is intriguing to me.
