Everytime I try and help my mother (a cancer) out with her family problems she'll end up more upset. She says I'm not sympathetic..I think she makes a big deal out of somethings. I love my mother and only want her to get up and tackle her problems, not sit around, cry and dwell on them. What good is that going to do?

So are you sympathetic? Are you empathetic? Are you the type of person someone can come to when they need a shoulder to cry on? Am I asking too many questions?

That's just her being a Cancer. They like to wallow.

You're doing just fine with your approach.

My cancer moon makes me sympathetic, I think. But my Aries sun has a, "Well you don't like it, then fix it," attitude.

I am very sympathetic with things that you can't control, that's when my heart goes out to people. My heart goes out to people when they're betrayed, dealt a hard hand, etc.

I have several pisces friends (male and female) that continually choose to make the same dumb decisions over and over again. Oh that didn't work the last 18 times you tried it?! By all means, try again, you might get lucky... smh

I also have a Cancer moon.

Saaaame here. I start to lose sympathy real fast for those who put themselves in situations over and over. It ain't life and it ain't them, it's you.

Yes, yes, yes, no.

I am a Pisces moon with a Pisces mom and Scorpio dad. My best friend since childhood is a Cancer. Most of my friends are Scorpio or Cancer since then. I am surrounded by water.

Aries...patient? wow all the ones i have known have very little patience
It is actually known as the sign that can never wait for anything
I guess this would only be evident in heavily laden Aries charts?

I still stand by what i say about the *typical* martian being non empathic though

I agree with heavy fire chart Aries and the waiting game; It's just not their process, the issues are viewed different, their version and first response.

I disagree with Aries not being empathetic, unless you mean it a different way. Empathy expression where others understand, maybe not so much, but it is there 🙂

The nicest aries woman i ever met had cancer rising...she was lovely and soft...i think her birthday was on 1st April. With water to temper the chart, i guess there is more hope of empathy?

I think it allows other signs to understand the way Aries express empathy more when there is certain water placements in their chart.

yes im extremely sympathetic but i also have water in my chart merc in pisces and mars in cancer. but on the other end i really do get impatient if people keep doing the same things and coming back for advice it gets a little redundant.

Protective yes, sympathetic not so much. It depends on how deep or bad the situation is that will determine whether or not you will get sympathy from an Aries or a Sagg. They are both conquers. They don't like to stay mad or upset about things they cant change and they generally don't understand people that do. They would much rather dust themselves off and focus on things they can make better and succeed at. They are very uplifting people, most can make other believe they can do anything they want to do if they truly honestly want it. My sister is an Aries, and she is sympathetic at all. We didn't understand each other much when I was younger, but now that I'm older I admire her strong will and thick skin. As I've grown closer to her, I've noticed she has deep feelings, and thing hurt her just as they hurt the normal person but like I said the world will never know as she is quickly determined to move forward and focus on something else. My Aries crush has the same attitude. He only lets certain people in, and he only really —talks?? to certain people. Even though I don't have the emotional connection I would like with him, I can tell I'm much closer to him than others.
