i've known two guys that had a lot of strong cancer energyi'm very attracted to it but they don't seem attracted to me i have a lot of fire and air in my chart and i feel i come off as too much....i feel i need to tone it down aroudn them and i do try... i try to be nice, i try to be submissive, i even try to play dumb around them to make them feel smart...to an extent....and i still feel like they find my energy too much.... what are some adjectives you'd use to describe what draws in cancer enrgy... i also think being skinnier would make me come off more feminine, they seem to be influenced by beauty...at least the ones i'm thinking of...and both have commented on my weight..... what else would it take? how would u describe that softness they seek?

What makes you assume that playing dumb or trying to be submissive is attractive to them? Cancer Venus and Mars here... Although I'm sure it's different for guys... But they like freaks that's for sure. Showing you're weak isn't gonna do it. IP: Logged |

You are trying to fit your square peg into a round hole. Who the hell are they to comment about your weight? I dont care what kind of energy they have but I am sure the Asc and Mc is in "Douche" for both. They will only gel with someone who has the Moon /Sun in "Douche". So unless you have placements there, its NOT your territory. But if you insist on attracting Cancer, channel chilly/stern Saturn energy that Aquas and Cap have. Be VERY reserved. They seem to gravitate to that ime. The other possibility is to be broody/sulky and channel Mars/Pluto energy. The type that Scopio has. Watch "Amistad" and get all intense and mad about slavery/human injustice. Make sure you look constipated. That works too, IP: Logged |

Not sure why but I really dislike people brooding and sulking. Makes me depressed and just wanna get outta there. Especially with the intensity of Pluto, can't handle it. But you're right about the chilly/sternness. I love stoical types. IP: Logged |

I failed miserably when I tried with a Cancer girl. She has Venus,Sun and SN in Cancer. And I have NN, Mercury and Sun in Cancer.First tried to be serious, then innocent, then smart, then funny etc. But nothing worked on her. Except I never tried to show money cos I don't have that. ------------------ My Chart : http://imgur.com/hCRDawD IP: Logged |

Why dont’t you just...... you know..... be yourself? You will attract the person that belongs to you. He may be a Cancer, he may be a different sign, but the most important thing to know, is that you’ll be with someone who loves you for you.IP: Logged |

Cancerians gravitate towards people who are emotionally stable because they can be unsure at times so they seek security in their interactions. They can be selective who they let in. Your strong fire/air chart may have given them a flighty, impersonal feel and if you're too warm, they retreat. My ex is a Cancer Sun and he doesn't like people all over him. All my Cancer Mars friends/bf/mom don't handle others' emotions well too. They will show concern but you can tell they're also at a loss as they'll get all emotional together with you. You also need to give the crabs time to come out of their shells. They don't like dumb people. They do enjoy humour though. Just be sensitive, nice and caring when you're around them. I don't agree with being chilly because they will feel that you're insensitive.

Sun, Mercury, Venus and SN in Cancer here. I'd say humor is the one thing I'm attracted to the most. Someone who is not too dour, though I do enjoy a dry wit, much like the Capricorn type. I also attract other Cancers, and the one thing we all seem to have in common is a tendency to be silly.I personally find the fire and air mix to come off strong at times, but I can admire it due to how different it is from me, being mostly water with some earth myself. However, like others have said here, be yourself. If they don't like you, move on and find someone who'd appreciate you for who you are. Don't try to change yourself just to please someone. It's not worth it. IP: Logged |

what a guy likes mostly has to do with his moon and venus I thinkbut cancer people are overall deeply affected by kindness charity, especially those involving children...delicious foods containing a lot of carbs...a soft nature and the colors light pink and light blue...also pearl jewelry personality-wise, they like someone who is polite, sweet and innocent looking I don't advise you to be too stern or intense with them
you will also probably need to be quite patient with them, as they ponder a lot before making a decision on whether to get in a relationship or not...they like their own space a lot unless their chart is packed with fire, it might be a good idea to show interest in them first and then let them pursue you don't feel insecure if you think you're a bit overweight (which woman doesn't think that right? )...for men it doesn't matter...and if a guy ever comments on it, he's an a** and does not deserve you, period.

Being dumb is not equivalent to being soft. I used to think that way too about heavy water people. I have heavy air in my chart. But that's not what softness is all about. Being soft means trusting someone enough and being able to express your emotions freely without care of what others will think. That's what Cancers are gravitated to, in my experience. They can also sense manipulation because they unconsciously doing it themselves. You playing dumb around them to make them feel smart is a form of manipulation. They are more intelligent than they let on. They do like Saturn energy too and Pluto energy, if they can handle it. It all just depends on the rest of their chart. I find that they like people with a lot of depth. And not the kind an air heavy person would think (talks about space, existence, social issues, etc). They like depth in the sense of understanding someone's psychology--who and what made others who they are. They relate very well with people who can touch their heart. People who understand them not just mentally but also emotionally. Someone who knows even just a little bit how it feels to be in their shoes. Also, Cancer, out of all the signs is the most notorious for being attracted to voluptuous women. Not fat, but full-figured. Being skinny might not help in your case, unless his Mars is in either Gemini, Virgo, or Cap. But even that only points to initial and only physical attraction. What you have to offer beyond that is the question. I think water signs perceive air signs to be shallow because a lot of times, we don't like to show our emotions thinking they are signs of weakness. We live too much in our logic. It actually does the opposite and makes us look weaker. Even how you are describing your approach is very logical. Like others said here, don't try too hard. Water energy is effortless. Just be you. Even if it doesn't attract him specifically, it will attract someone who is a good match for you. Not trying to be mean, sorry if this comes of that way. But I am just telling you what I honestly think about it. IP: Logged |

Consider that to be attracted to Cancer energy and what it represents is very different from being involved in an intimate way with Cancer energy. Have you ever been in an intimate or long-term relationship with a Cancer/water-heavy individual? You may end up struggling with it in the long run because it can be incredibly overwhelming. Being a fire/air heavy individual you might feel suffocated, smothered or tied down by the way they express their energy. As much as you may find them adorable at first, these things only become obvious after getting deep into the trenches with them. As everyone else has already drove home, you should only express who YOU really are and the right person will come into your life. It would be a shame to "try" to be anything other than yourself only to wind up feeling like you're living a lie and you've set yourself and the other person up for disappointment. Weight does not matter, no matter WHAT sign it is. The right person will appreciate you no matter what size you are. I don't like seeing this generalization when referring to astrology. IP: Logged |

This happened to me with a Cancer friend. For years, we were acquaintances and it was cool. But when we started to hang out more, I started to feel smothered by the 10 text messages a day telling me about the smallest minutiae or asking me what I was doing? Then she wanted to make my travel plans for me, etc. Haha. It seemed thoughtful, but it was seriously overwhelming and yes, suffocating. And then she started pulling passive-aggressive behavior on me, which was my cue to distance myself.

Personally, I don't think you should struggle to attract anyone. Notice who you naturally attract and appreciate that connection. It could vary widely.I used to love Sagittarian women -- straight, lesbians, I did not care. I could detect them on sight. I wanted one so bad. It seemed deep. Problem was I was generally not able to keep up with their free-flowing, fiery tempo. I'm a slow, tortoise (Taurus). Finally, I learned that many of the qualities that I appreciated in them were actually in me, but latent. I decided to develop those qualities more, no matter how long it takes, and appreciate myself more. I'm married now and my wife is a Gemini, a very Jupiterian personality with Moon in Leo. That's enough fire for me. You may be projecting onto Cancerian men the need for secure, home-based, family-oriented, lovey-dovey connection. You don't have to be with a Cancer to get satisfaction for those feelings. ------------------ "Drift like a cloud and flow like water, seeing that all life is a magnificent illusion, a playing of energy, and there is absolutely nothing fundamentally to be afraid of." -- Alan Watts Soul Stars Astrology by The Declinations Guy Expert Rectification IP: Logged |
