Are you looking for from the sun sign?

I found the quality of true softness the most can be seen in Cancer moon and Pisces venus.

It's early for me, I just thought I'd throw something out:

Cancer doesn't strike me as soft. They're a patriotic sign as well as protective of their family which makes me think of soldiers and mother bears (as opposed to some shy boy hiding behind his mother's skirts that seems to be the stereotype, though they can be moody). Offhand, those with strong Cancer placements or sun I know include an ex-soldier father figure (but caring, if you could handle some of his wild moods), my cousin with a lot of fire to his chart, another with a lot of Scorpio to hers (stronger than Cancer), and a girl who is a firm leader (if loathe to raise her voice, but damn she can fix you with her eyes, what I've called the flash of iron in her velvet glove).

Pisces...the word that comes to mind is "slippery," both in trying to typecast (if they live long enough) and in appearance. I've known a feminine male crossdresser, a junkie turned mystic and occultist, a gang member who later became a cop, and my odd BFF (who also has some significant Aquarius, and is an Aquarius sun), and one who is especially changeable (going from cold practicality to fairy tale dreaminess, from melancholy to wild silliness, and sometimes all within a minute of each other!). The only common feature to them is that their eyes tend to be soft and haunting...and sometimes seem to stare right into my soul (not that they necessarily understand what they're looking at or come off as enlightened...though they can at times, before changing again to appear more like a kid in a grown up body, which can range from cute to exasperating).

I've know Pisces suns and Pisces venus people.

In terms of the male pisces sun and venus...the softness was superficial. Underneath it all really quite a cold person and could be very cruel.

The female pisces venus, again, cold, extremely selfish.

I dont see pisces as a warm caring sign anymore

Cancer is cardinal and Pisces is mutable. I am a Cancer Moon and Mars. I appear soft and loving, which I am, but if you mess with anyone I care about, I am strong lol

My Cancer friend can really irk me sometimes. The other night, he was acting different on the phone (I can tell). Turns out he's still upset with me for something I said to him 10 months ago. We had an argument back then and patched things up, but then he brought it up again 10 months later. He's Cancer Sun, Mars, Mercury, and Venus. The Scorpio side of me understands him and wants to work things out. But his lack of air/fire just really makes it too mushy/boo-hoo/same thing over and over for me.

I've noticed Pisces Moons and Venuses to be very compassionate, yet passive. They shift and float around without making a ruckus. Not as naggy as Cancer, but they're more susceptible to letting things pass them by that they shouldn't.

From my experience,

if you're the one who they really really love, cancer moon and pisces venus' softness kill other placements. lol.

What I mean is how they approach/interact with their loved one or other people (if they get comfortable enough). They really easily hurt, so pisces venus will easily build the wall, the coldness or escape leaving in their own dream world, and cancer moon will easily like a mother chicken, busy to protect their own emotion or their loved one.

The difference between their softness:
- cancer moon is like a nurturing mother
- pisces venus is dreamy & romantic

..if you are in a good place with them, you'll get enchanted by the softness. lol.

(It's total different from the softness of the sun though, you need to see the rest of their chart)

I will agree with Pixie in that I don't find Cancerians "soft" either. I will protect what I consider my home and family and I would kill if I had to but soft? Nope. I'm a go-getter-mind your toes....

I feel that while both can have a softer energy (as opposed to other signs), and both are sensitive, I find them to still have their differences.

Pisces are more mystical, freedom oriented, and spiritual. They are able to tap into other people's energies quite easily. They have this soft energy where they seem to float easily without many worries or cares.

Cancers seem more grounded to me than Pisces. Cancers have close family ties. They're more practical and live in the "here and now" as opposed to Pisces who are prone to daydreaming and idealizing thoughts.
I find that Cancers have a little twinkle in their eyes.

Cancers have a soft energy in the sense that they are sensitive and emotional. But I think it's easier to see the emotions and how something affects a Pisces more than being able to see how it affects a Cancer.

So true, Pisces can be very cold and even cruel.

Just so I'm clear on what I'm saying...

To me, "softness" (and also "sensitivity") doesn't necessarily mean that someone is warm and kind. While they typically (*) don't step on the backs of others to get what they want, they can be supremely self-absorbed, because they're soft and easily hurt...and may (especially Cancer) remember those hurts for a very long time while not explaining what they think is obvious so others are left mystified by their bad behavior (and Pisces and Cancer can be exceedingly petulant at times). (Of course they can go bad as any sign can.)

And I'd strongly advise against not provoking a Cancer. I recall reading somewhere that Cancer was the most prominent in convicted crimes of passion, and I can believe that. My cousin's 8H Cancer Mars makes me think anyone wants to die, then threaten his children...but there'd have to be less painful ways to commit suicide.

Likewise, being tough doesn't necessarily make someone cold, cruel, or a jerk, or not feeling anything.

(* I'd hesitate to say Pisces is "typically" anything as they're so supremely mutable. When Pisces gets so that I find their energy hard to deal with, I tend to treat it like the weather: patient, knowing it will change soon enough, probably sooner rather than later. 'Course my 5H Sag stellium, which includes moon, means I don't spend a lot of time licking my wounds when Pisces is cold to me, I just come back later when they're in a different form again.)
