On the surface,Cancer is very moody and can seem quite mean, sulky and just "difficult". On the surface,Pisces is often very sweet, allowing, receptive and non-aggressive. Pisces Moon is often more popular than Cancer Moon generally. People like Pisces Moon and tend to be annoyed with Cancer Moon. Pisces Moon however, is less "personal" than Cancer. What I mean by that is, Pisces will give you comfort from a "human" level i.e treat you in a way that they think all human beings should be treated. Cancer Moon will give you comfort in a more "tailored" way i.e they will treat you in a way that they think you(as an individual) like to be treated. Cancer can seem mean at 1st to you, but once they sense that you are non-threatening(even very caring). They will warm up quickly. Pisces Moon tends to be indifferent to how you treat them at 1st and will continually be nice to you. That's one thing I(Cancer Moon) can't do. Cancer always wants to "make" things happen. Pisces is the one that 'watches' things happen and may even be the one who wonders; "what happened?" All in all Cancer tend to offer a mjority of their thoughts to what they are observing now, in the past or in the future. Now there is nothing wrong with that, the only problem is; it tends to be all negative and fear-drenched i.e "will I have enough?", "I remember that he hurt me","why are these things always happening to me?" etc. The trick is for Cancer to not offer any thoughts; past,present or future that lead to an inner loop of fear and angst. But it is easier said than done. Pisces, though very much in touch of their feelings like Cancer, is the idealist. They tend to want to reach for the "all inclusive" feeling that is free from human "error"; anger,prejudice, fear,judgment ,outrage etc. They are usually aware of their feelings .But as with mutable signs, they want to be more "trans-personal" in their expression of feeling; "I know this person betrayed me 100 times. But all of us are human. And every one of us deserves to feel appreciated and loved". Okay, i know I am exaggerating a little there. But it is on the same veil. Pisces is always willing to forgive and forget. Cancer always reserves their right to. IP: Logged |

Nice!Except this, on Pisces Moon: They are usually aware of their feelings .But as with mutable signs, they want to be more "trans-personal" in their expression of feeling; "I know this person betrayed me 100 times. But all of us are human. And every one of us deserves to feel appreciated and loved".
I won't have anything to do with someone like that.
I probably despise them... actively. Everyone gets a second chance... But that is where I draw the line... and heaven help you if you inflict that on someone I care about. Regardless, I've probably already told anyone who has anything to do with that person exactly what they're about... whether or not they listen is on them.

Do you have any Scorpio placements? Because Scorpio draws lines. The reason I said the above is because this friend of mine has Pisces Moon/Merc /Mars and 3rd house cusp in Pisces. He seems to forgive so easily. His ex; an Aquarius with Cap Moon, just used him for money. They had it off! And I thought that that was dead and buried. I called him the other day to see what's been going on? How he is doing? etc. Given the current financial woes his under. And then he casually tells me that they are "sort of" back together and have been sleeping with each other "on/off" for a couple of weeks now. WTF???? Now this is the same ex that helped land him in that ditch in the 1st place!!!!!! Aih  IP: Logged |

Exactly. Also I think Aries23degrees nailed it!
I think keeping in mind that cancer is cardinal and Pisces mutable helps also. IP: Logged |

Eirlys, I'm also curious about your chart.And your age. Because when I was younger I was much more capable of despising people, but as I've gotten older, my preference for not harboring any kind of hatred just gets stronger and stronger. In that sense, I agree with Aries23 degrees, I can be impersonal. I don't forgive people or overlook their flaws because of who they are, but because of who I am. IP: Logged |

Perhaps, but I'd like to give you a picture of how this can work differently. My sister is a Cancer moon, possibly not a "typical" Cancer moon, but then, nothing is ever typical as Seimei was saying... Anyway, she was always more popular with our huge extended family that I was, probably because we would go into parties and reunions and I would get clobbered with vibes and rendered upset and disturbed, while she just exuded warmth and charm with everyone. ETA: And her ability to charm and win love was in fact so well-developed that, in spite of her mental illness and long history of being unable to cope with responsibility, whenever I tried to challenge her decisions or authority in certain family matters (she's nine years older), I faced a backlash. Only after she completely and undeniably ruined her own reputation did I, by default, become the more popular one. IP: Logged |

I think the reason I say this is because I have Cancer Moon- and perhaps this is strongly subjective. Cancer Moon is capable of popularity.The energy generally can use their powerful intuition to "suss" out public trends and respond appropriately. That is what is key in making and keeping them popular. I can be the "bubbly" one in the group. But one thing that consistently "trips" me up,is the cyclical flow of the emotions; they go up and then go down. This I cannot avoid. And these happen in private. Not so much in public. That is what I have also noticed. The moodiness, the changes, the crabby behavior etc. happens in private; within close relationships. And generally not with people I interact with once a month. What I am saying is; its easy to be "popular" with people that don't live with you on an everyday basis.

That's a good point.edit: I'm no saint to live with, but I think my sister was more demanding. And my Pisces moon brother was SO quiet and inobtrusive, you barely realized he was there, despite his Aries sun. IP: Logged |

This is very true. The people that actually see my mood swings are the people very close to me, and it is because that is the only place where I feel it is my right to be completely real. * note: if a cancer moon is showing you their moody side , they might actually just love you. Loll But all jokes put a side, both moons have the emotional water quality. Both moons can be caring and compassionate. Cancer holds cardinal qualities while Pisces holds mutable .

Loving this conversation. It's confirming what I felt already about them. Water moons for me fall into the "difficult to love" category. I want to but the differences are too great. Cancer moon eventually is just too moody and I run away. Pisces is sweet but seems too distant. Scorpio (I know this thread isn't about them) often seems too secretive and I don't like it. If they open up then it's like you get all of it and I run. LOL But I still love them all and will always try. IP: Logged |

I don't know that many Cancer moons, but of the ones I have known, I don't really notice any differences.Cancers are maybe more into kids, and Pisces moons are maybe more into music. Other than that though it's like we are the same people. Pisces just has maybe a slightly harder time with saying no. But only slightly. IP: Logged |

No... no Scorpio, unless we count a multitude of asteroids.  But I do have Taurus ASC and Mars... and a Fixed sun. Relationship dynamics are funny things... it may be that he knows
more about her than it appears. Her weaknesses may transcend his own, and knowing that, he allows her back into his life. Or, he may just be unwilling to acknowledge or accept what he already knows about her, and so he's entertaining the possibility of a reformation on her part. I really don't know-- I can only guess. I'm sure she knows what buttons to push, though. Hard to say, but hopefully he won't let it get to the point where he loses ground, again.  Is he Aqua, Pisces, or Aries?

He is Aquarius.I think its your fixed placements that have you say :"Enough is enough". The Pisces I have come to know , don't know how to separate from a situation where they feel they can still "save" someone. They will forgive 1000x and then some.. Really!! He is not the only Pisces Moon I know with this behavioral pattern. There is another with Gemini Sun and another also with Aquarius Sun. IP: Logged |

I have 7H Pisces Moon squaring 4H Neptune. I've met and developed friendships or relationships with many male Cancer Moons (yes, the boob fetish is true).The Pisces Moon is less traditional than the Cancer Moon. Look at the houses they rule. Cancer is ancestral, tribal, etc... Pisces is the so called dustbin of the Zodiac which I think is a lazy description of such a weirdly gorgeous sign. Pisces Moon people are a blessing for others and curse to themselves on good days. Keep in mind, this Moon is part of a Grand Water Trine (11H Saturn Cancer, 3H Mercury Scorpio, 7H Pisces Moon) with a 9H Mars Taurus Kite. I can't not help someone out. I have to travel to via Greyhound to visit my SO due to scheduling issues. I'd rather take the train, but it is a pain in the ass. I meet people just getting out of prison ALL THE TIME. I'll give ya'll an example, I was waiting in line to board a bus and the DEA showed up with the dogs. The grandmother behind me JUST got out of prison for a 7 year stint for a drug conviction. She started having an anxiety attack. I took her hands in mine and soothed her. She was having a PTSD flashback. I asked her the stupid question, "Are you carrying?" She said, "No" I talked her down and assured her she was getting on the bus to go back to her family. I told her I was going to get her on the bus and I did. I didn't ask her name and she didn't ask mine, but I was there when she needed me. I made her laugh too. The Piscean sense of humor is often overlooked. We are giggle monsters. It is really how we survive. Look at Robin Williams, oh wait, he's dead. Sorry. ------------------ Claire "When going gets weird, the weird turn pro." -HST IP: Logged |

Do you guys think in a relationship you should always expect and allow the pisces moon to be the more sensitive one? It seems if your ultra sensitive they get hurt by you being hurt and they don't have as quick of a bounce back emotionally as other signs...is this true?My guy is pisces moon in his 5th, opposed his Mars and t-square with his Saturn(his moons only aspects) His Moon opposes my virgo Moon in my 12th, my Moon is unaspected....so I can be pretty sensitive to. We are both libra AC...his virgo Sun, im saggy Sun I would have thought he'd understand my sensitivity as I understand his....but it seems he doesn't. Instead he gets weighed down and overloaded easily. Then I get overloaded but try not to let it get to me by trying to intellectualize it, which half way works at first but takes me a day to feel ok again. I guess because of the virgo energy of my moon I can intellectualize his sensitivities and try to understand them in a way that allows me not to get as sucked in and let them become my burden.....maybe he can't? What I've learned is I need to be the more emotionally strong one for us, he can only go so far before he gets lost emotions and once I start feeling lost in emotions my moon starts intellectualizing everything to come up with resolutions so I can bounce out of the blues. He can't do this can he? He only appreciates my intellectualizing his emotions later, much later. Lol...days if not a week later he says you really hit dead on with why I feel the way I feel. Leading to my next question...You guys don't get over stuff quickly either do you? You don't open back up, like me...within the day of making up I'm back to normal and pick up where we left off...being just as in love and mushy as always. He's taking much longer to open back up after a miscommunication that led to him overreacting and saying some mean things. We've made up and everything's good but he's still somewhat distant and acting standoffish...I'm not sure if I should go back to being just as sweet as we always were and wait for him to feel ok or if I need to be standoffish like he is being. I see this side of him, this look in his eyes when he's totally open that is so much like a child saying please don't hurt me...it's cute, sweet, endearing and I love it but it leads me to wonder can pisces moon be strong for other ppl or is there ability to be there for others very limited before they go into overload?

I don't think that Pisces moon is flakey. I feel like they can be influenced by others easier than other moons and they do sometimes live in another realm. Sometimes, I can't figure out if what my daughter is telling me is reality or her imagination. But she is so loving and compassionate, it is unreal. I tell her often, that the world is lucky to have her. IP: Logged |
