Dated one. My first bf. lol.I was introduced by my Gemini's bestfriend at the time. She tried to be the cupid. He was very excited and seemed to have this high image of me on the first meeting. I asked him what my Gemini's bestfriend told him about me and he said I was different from the other girls, quiet but kind, the girl who wouldn't try to hurt/betray you (as what she felt as my bestfriend), smart and patient, that he wouldn't feel disappointed having me, well, she talked his ears off of what he wanted to hear about me and he ate it. lol. I think the way he flirted with me at the first time by talking so much about his family, the high and the low. AND he talked a lot about his mother. Would phone me 24/7. The next meeting, he brought me to his house to meet his mother (his father had passed away and he had no siblings) and showed me his home like I was going to move in. I asked him why he showed me all, he said so maybe I could be friend with his Mom or maybe I would love to sleep at his house treating it like my own house or maybe I would live there soon. I super freaked out inside but acted cool outside. lol. (I remember the almost same experience with my now husband who has Mars/Mercury in Cancer, he brought me to his Mom/Dad before we were officially a bf-gf. He didn't tell me meeting them, he told me visiting his house for a moment after I asked him where we were going when we were almost near his house. I knew I was in a trap when his Mom already cooked special lunch to welcome me and he said I could sleep at his house too if I wanted to, I was looking at him and telepathy him like, "you serious? why I feel like it is a plan? why'd your Mom cook all of this? I don't even prepare myself, how could you do this to me?" and he was like smiling there saying "don't worry". Telepathing him again, "of course I am worried, I don't bring anything, I don't prepare myself, this is how you treat a friend at your house?" He was just all having this satisfying smile on his face -- later I knew it was a test) Since my Cancer ex's venus is in Leo as well as Mars, he also flirted by complimenting me and sometimes it felt TOO MUCH to the point I felt like he tried to bait the same compliment at him. lol. He showered me with nice gifts. Very clingy as he phone-called me every early morning just to wake me up and later at lunch to know what I was eating and before went to bed asking how was my whole day, like literally I was at phone with him everyday. We met at weekend and he always wanted to spend a whole day with me which no way. He definitely put me first before his friends, well, after his Mom. I believe he is loyal because he could not stop chasing me for almost 10 years (some of his male friends even came and tried to persuade me to accept him again) until finally he got married after we had a long conversation at phone and had a closure. I don't know much how a Cancer sun male in a friendship, as I don't have any, only Cancer influence people. IP: Logged |

Remember that Cancer is CARDINAL. We will take action when we have decided that action is needed. I’d look to the Moon as well. Cardinal Sun + Fixed Moon might be different than let’s say my Cardinal Sun + Cardinal Moon. There’s no stopping me in my tracks when I have made a decision! This will apply to ALL decision making which also includes burning bridges..You will not be able to sweet talk me back but a Fixed Moon might be able to linger around for a good few more years.

Thanks for the stories, Guys.The current one in my life is very kind, attentive, and responsive...random extended eye contact and all. Yet not clear romantic overtures. When I turn the conversation in that direction he goes quiet. IP: Logged |

They don't let in people that fast, that I know. They have a hard shell, and if you are able to make him trust you and make him feel comfy, he may open up. He needs to know you care for him for real. Then he may open up and you will see what a soft and caring person he is. He may be very indirect though, like a female would be, to make sure he does not missread you etc. IP: Logged |

Thanks, Melinn.I can see the caring side of him already. Can you say more about how he may open up in an indirect way? This kind of remind me of a Cancer-Capricorn I worked with years ago. He was the easiest person to talk to. Always approachable, Lways friendly. I wasn't interested, so only saw him as a friend. It was towards the end of my time there when he did things that made me question his interest level. IP: Logged |

Yes I think you understand them well. Its too complicated for me, its not a good fit bc I have too much fire in my chart, I had an intense brief crush on a Cancer once and I don't think I can do Cancer (sun in cancer to be precise) hahahah, and normally they are not my type anyways, that guy was an exception his cancer stellium squared pluto. I am sticking to scorpios whose type of weird I am familiar with at least and intuitively understand lol. IP: Logged |

^^I think that is common for opposite signs to attract but I find that it happens a lot more frequently with cardinal opposites (sun signs).IP: Logged |

Most Cancers dislike competition-especially when Moon is in Cap or Taurus. So its hard to tell if they are flirting or just being friendly.So the more social you seem. The more likely that they will be shy to make a move. For fear that they may not be the only one vying for your attention. And also that they can't reach you when they want to. Both Taurus and Cancer tend to dislike people who are too "busy". And definitely don't look for this in a mate. As they want to be able to pop in or call you whenever. The more accessible you are, the more attractive you are to them. Unless there is Aqua moon,Uranus on Venus or Mars or Venus/Mars, Sun/Moon midpoint on Uranus. These people tend to avoid any sort of risk romantically. And I mean ANY. But once they get you alone and you are the steady type that they have had their eyes on. Watch out. You will witness the more cardinal, forceful nature come out. I am speaking about male Cancers here BTW. IP: Logged |

Might sound cliche but they will literally mother you when they're interested in youThey will show that they care for you in all kinds of ways.. Except for direct communication... That's not cancer's strongest point.. Unless there's a lot if air.. But even then, they still won't show their interest until after they have completely started trusting you IP: Logged |

I mostly attract Scorpios, Cancers, and Taurus. I have a Scorpio stellium and a Taurus ASC, I agree with everything said. From my own experiences and current relationship, it helps if the synastry/ and or composite has strong Uranus (mostly positive). This still allows the closeness but with freedom also. I’m a Scorpio and my honey of 2 years is a Cancer with Venus in Taurus. He has Moon/ mars conjunct in Virgo opposite Saturn.
Natally, my Cancer guy has: Venus trines Uranus. Moon sesiquare Uranus. I have a ton of Uranus in my natal also. In our composite Uranus trines Sun, Moon, Mercury. Uranus squares Mars and Jupiter. BUT Saturn conjuncts the ASC and makes a strong auincunv to CMoon (Moon in C8H). Tons of intimacy with just as many quirky moments.
But we have always shared that private, intimate connection from the beginning and it doesn’t feel suffocating like previous affairs even despite our ASC/mercury/Venus/ Mars-Saturn DW in synastry! HA. Maybe it will later. Hopefully not. Uranus is tricky. Either way, I think we can make it. Watch that Uranus! If he is strong in Cancer/ Taurus, those outer planets become very important. It will make him fickle and noncommittal with the wrong person (I experienced that also). But with the right one, it comes out as a quirky, cute aloofness. IP: Logged |

Well I IDK, I feel more intensity with scorpios than with pisces, although I think pisces are adorable and love them too. I am a virgo with moon in pisces. I think is that opposites attract, intensity can be seen by the synastry and composite as a whole. Like with my ex we had sun conjunct valentine, mars and pluto tightly in composite in the 1H with venus opposite moon forming a tsquare with neptune, that relationship can be characterized as very freaking intense.

No. Not Sun in Cancer but Mars/Venus in Cancer With Sun in Leo conjunct both Venus/Mars out of sign. Initially very roundabout and distant. Would get annoyed when I would tell him that I went home during week ends or was elsewhere when he wanted to visit. We were fiends then. Once I came back to the flat I lived in for a whole month uninterrupted and he would visit literally every day until one of my friends said jokingly to him "you are here every day now. Just move in already" to which he responded "all he has to do is ask me" (looking at me). I didn't think them interested in romantic relations with me initially but they got progressively assertive. And I mean assertive! Getting more and more possessive of alone time with me and talking about us from a "we" point of view. I thought that it was just him. But another friend with Sun/Venus conjunction in Cancer behaved in a very similar fashion with a lady he was interested in. He got annoyed when he could not get hold of her or visit her when he wanted to. Acted possessive of her like she was already "his". Lol. I thought it silly. IP: Logged |

This tactic wins over my Cancer Moon without fail. And it can get easily activated with water strong guys. On a sidenote though,I am often fascinated by natural trine relationships in water signs i.e Sco/Pisc, Pisc/Cancer etc. Cancer/Scorpio with the female being the latter and male the former are rare to find ime. As most Scorpio ladies I meet up with seem to like Cap,Virgo,Gem or Leo more. What attracted you to your Cancer? Maybe that Virgo Moon keeps his emotions in check and makes him funny? I am guessing ofcourse.

Interesting. So basically he was spending lots of alone time with you. IP: Logged |
