Scorpio with an Aries Moon Pos

My advice to you is probably going to be a little unorthodox compared to the rest of the posts but I probably forgot to care.

Anyways....My first question to you is, do you have his chart?

Specifically, does he have aquarius in venus?

If he does not have aquarius in venus, you can stop reading right now because I agree with the consensus that he's a douchebag and just playing you. Full stop.

However, if he DOES have venus in aquarius, keep reading.

Venus in Aquarius on a cap with the combination of all the other placements...of course......

He's not going to change, he's doing exactly what feels right for him and sees nothing wrong with his actions nor his words.

Does that make him a douchebag? Not at all, he's staying true to himself and expects you to do the same. No, he CRAVES that you do the same.

You have to ask yourself if this man is meeting the level of mastery you require to be in a relationship with him buecause this is all you are going to get. There will be no switch that suddenly turns on and blankets you with affection and words that meet up with actions.

To some people, that is all well and fine and they really appreciate the uniqueness of venus in aqua...

to others it's NOT okay and they will rack their treetrunking brains to try to figure him out and die trying to make him "change".

If you are not one that finds that acceptable, and believe me, he WANTS you to answer that question and grow a pair of balls to answer it TRUTHFULLY....then you need to appreciate the experience and walk away with your dignity. The more you stay around, the more you amuse him and he will lose all respect for you.

If you are one that finds that acceptable and it matches with the needs of your chart placements....then you will do just fine. He wants YOU to look within yourself to make sure YOU make yourself happy.

It's very important that you really look within and make sure this is something YOU will be content with. Heaven knows, he is going to do EXACTLY what makes HIM happy....you should afford to do the same for YOU.

Eraco, you’re a cancer; you were born with good intuition. Why do you distrust it? His motivation is irrelevant. The fact that he is a Capricorn is irrelevant. The way he has treated you – and the way you have felt as a result – are all that matters. If he were a real friend, he would treat you like one, as well. How has his treatment of you made you feel like a valued friend???

I love how men really of any sign feel it is just so easy to switch from friends to lovers to friends back to lovers so easily,
its NOT. Women are not made up this way. After awhile you will lose your ability to bouce back and to keep the pace with such uncertainty.
The word "friend" has such a beautiful ring to it doesnt it? So we get triggered when we hear the "friend" phrase and think, awe he still wants me in his life. Nope! Cause friends actually DO consider feelings, and they are open, expressive and steady.
Inana said it best, friendship is a disguise to keep tabs on you, when the main intention is to have you on the backburner in times of need like a need to have your ego stroked, you need laid, your lonely, you got dumped.
I highly doubt thats what you want to sign up for. Your special and he has an obligation to treat you as such and clearly, well, he isnt. Up and on girl! Ditch the zero, there are plenty of men and plenty of friends to meet. He is blocking your vision!

Eraco11 -
I think he really thinks of you as his friend. He is also being selfish and not at all considering your feelings in all of this. You need not feel obligated to be there for him because he does not recognize what it is really doing to you.
You have every right to dump his ass even as a friend and gain your balance back.

This is similar to how my Cap friend moved. When we reconnected after high school he started off with a story on how he'd never date his friends all while very subtly pursuing me as time went on. I find that when they see you as major potential and don't know how to be direct ALL kinds of @#$% goes on. Being that I'm also a Cap I could follow him, but there were times that I'd even think *what is he doing?* My head was even done in a time or two, and that friendship thing is a disguise to keep you near, know your whereabouts, in/outs etc. That girl most likely was to make you jealous. If you consider keeping the friendship there will be more stories. What he's doing does matter, and he'll be honest about it, its all about what you are up to. Many like a certain kind of woman(more submissive, loyal, homely homebodies) and the more you continue, especially if nothing in your personal life outside of him is going on, the more you fit his idea of the perfect woman/wife. I think this is how some pick and choose. I also think the more it seems he can't just get what he wants, the more manipulative he'll be about it.

@Crustacea: Thanks for the advice. Its definitely refreshing to finally get this out and see what others have to say - and you being in a similar situation, helps me focus on making the right decision.

I also got projection from him - id notice that he would be the one becoming more emotionally involved and when he would eventually catch himself, he would say that I was the one catching feelings! Whats weird about the situation with the 'new girl' is that he told me how he wanted to invest more time in her, but then mentioned last week that they were 'just hooking up' and he was considering ditching her because he felt nothing. I wondered briefly if he was trying to make me jealous back then??

Since me and him were actually sleeping together for a while, I just have to mention that after one of our last disagreements, he was the one who decided that he didnt want to have sex anymore. He told me he valued me and our friendship too much to have us end up hating each other over sex, which could be easily accessible from someone else. Since I knew about him not having any friends really and reflecting on the great conversations and times we hung out, I felt that his decision was respectable and worth a try. It wasnt until a month and a half later when he surprised me with meeting this new girl and wanting to 'invest more' into her that I felt something was off and began to question everything he had ever told me.

Either he is so unsure of what he wants in life or hes trying to pull a game where he has things accessible and ready when he wants it. Both are bad and I appreciate the advice for just leaving him in the past like I wanted to before. I have a capricorn moon and he has a pisces moon. Throughout, I felt like maybe I really wasnt caring enough and hurting his sensitive emotionality (happens alot with me) so id open up a little more, comfort and console him and then get reminded that he didnt want a relationship.

I never knew this side of capricorns. Granted, I know these are just sun signs, but I have a bunch of capricorn friends and my father was as well - and I never sensed manipulation or deception from any of them, in fact I always appreciated the blunt and direct approaches they offer.

smh lesson learned lol

I find it easy to open up to Cancers. There is something about yall's mothering instinct. That said, he just wants you to be his friend. Since you have feeings for him, I don't think you would be happy with just being his friend.

Listen to Tiki! She gives great advice and is usually right.

how old are you both?
Did you sleep with him?

How do you mean ups/downs?


We are both 29. Yes we were sleeping together and that ended up stopping a few months ago.

Ups and downs in the sense that we would find ourselves having heated discussions and arguments (almost always 5 hours or more) at least once a month. I treated him and the situation VERY casually, definitely guarded myself and didnt overstep boundaries, but he would interpret it as me being mean and insensitive and call me out on it - which would lead to an argument. Sometimes he would say 'I dont want to speak to you anymore' and id hear from him two days later, apologizing.


what an immature idiot...run...run fast!

Oxytocin, when it’s got you hooked on

Posted by Crustacea
Wow I went through something similar recently with a Cap (I'm a Cancer also).
He loved being around me, always trying to say hi, and I can tell he was very physically attracted to me (he was always staring HARD). For some reason he would have his disrespectful moments with me for no reason - he pointed his finger at me saying I was the one with trust issues even though I never had them in my life but he does - projection much? He would always randomly say "I'm not looking for a relationship", "I can't have one at the moment", etc. even though I never even brought up the subject but then the next thing I know he told me he was talking to someone & it seemed like things were going to get serious. -_-

I don't even get the BS tbh. All I know is just forget about him. I don't even like this guy but I was pissed so you actually liking him & valuing what you two have is going to only hurt YOU x100 worse. Don't think nothing of his emotional tactic I don't know if Cap men are manipulative but I know people that are and THAT is a nice set up for emotional manipulation down the road. They'd bring up that they opened up to you & paint you as such of an amazing person when you do want they want then when they want you to cave-in into their selfish desires again and you don't they make it seem like you're such an unreasonable & selfish person. They'll act like the one time you say no is like you'd never said yes before.
It nothing that benefits you & you need things to be a two way street. You deserve it!

From one Cancer to another leave him behind. You'll be much happier even if you don't think so now. It also seems like you like him...don't. If he really wanted you he would've chose you like he chose the other girl.

Oxytocin, when it’s got you hooked on

You're behaving like a stepping stone, you know the man that steps OVER you to get to the other woman, he's still doing it, he's taking you for granted and downsizing you into the BFF box, good luck getting out of that one. He's having his cake (HER) and eating it to (YOU).

This can happen with any man at any time with any astrological sign. This isn't really about him, it's about YOU, you know you don't want to be the woman he cries to and runs to for a cheer up and occasional sex when he feels like it, don't be that kind of woman that behaves like a doormat in hopes he'll change his mind about you because he won't, you're better than that and you know you deserve more than that from a man, don't be a doormat, kiss him goodbye, if he truly want you in his life then he'll stop being a scary selfish brat and be fair with you were you're both winning in the relationship.

Now I don't know if you were being casual in hopes of having more with him but clearly you're not going to get more, don't be his diary, let his girlfriend, you know the woman he left you for listen to all of his dark past issues, let his girlfriend listen to him poor his heart out and cry, don't be that woman or you'll always be that woman, you'll never get the guy, you'll be the fallback girl, the woman he falls back to when he's bored and needs a friend. Have you ever considered why he doesn't have any friends? I mean look at how he treats you, he should be lonely.

So dump the friendship crap, you love him, you want him, you adore him and you were hurt that he dumped you to make it work with another woman well maybe it didn't work out and he's back but really this isn't about him, this is about YOU. What do you want? Don't settle for homie lover friend, don't settle for BFF Forever & Ever unless that's what you truly want, first get really real and honest with yourself and then find the inner confidence to be assertive enough to say what you want from him. He think you like being the booty call confidante BFF friend forever, if that's not what you want be honest and let him know you want more and after a year of him getting the milk, the bone marrow & cow for free you deserve more than being dumped only for him to come back and treat you like a friend oh excuse me BFF forever.
