In the middle of all this, you have a Gemini hitting on an Aquarius with some of the most unpredictable bait-and-switch game I've ever seen.

And VA I really don't understand what you're saying unless you elaborate. Especially when it comes to duplicity. I'm eager to listen. Any advice I can get.

Haha I do like to get things started. I can't remember what planet placement it involves, but I do like to throw a molotov into a dark alley just to see what burns occasionally. On occasion. I also have a Gemini moon that makes me unpredictable.
But just to be clear, what happened between us... the most "traumatic" of it (if that's the best word to use without it being misunderstood) was now nearly 3 years ago. There's no bitterness on my end towards her. And none of her towards me.
And very clearly, no we don't want each other. I learned a lot from my time with her so it's natural I will always love her in some way or another. But I never wanted to share details of my life with her in the way that healthy, trusting couples do. It was only recently when I heard a talk from Jean-Claude Biver talking about how he let his first marriage break down because he become too obsessed with work, and did not take the time to share at home, that I understood this key distinction.
When me and her are in person... it's a TOTALLY different ball game. But the very fact that we're in different countries and I don't want to move to be with her (nor does she want to move to be with me, to be fair) is just another sign of how little I am motivated we are to share a life with each other.

True. As I said earlier there's a big difference between Aries and Aries/Pisces cusp. The dreamer aspect of Pisces helps to smooth those edges out, because the cuspers have some stunning moments of far-reaching insight where they let themselves be dreamers.
The Cusp of Rebirth is probably the second best cusp in terms of enjoying the best of both worlds, just behind Libra/Scorp cuspers.

When I spoke for myself on the cancer board, I was a big bully and I think someone even deleted...but CC is encouraged to defend cancers (on Aries board)...bc were still big bullies. Oh, and insecure. Even though cancer is too. But don't exploit that....its mean and wah wah. Too funny. It's really not that serious. I don't treat anyone in real life differently bc of their sign.

cancer people are all wrong for me,they are way too emotional in all the wrong ways,unlike aries who can be at times emotional fireballs,cancers seem to have no real reasons for it.Don't trust cancer women around other womens men because they love to compete with other women for the attention of every man in the room,or at least the ones I have been around and they are whiney babies.Perhaps some cancers are good people but I haven't met many of them?
Cancer men do tend to cheat and so do the women but they try to pretend they are never at fault and it's always the other persons fault if they stray,but I haven't dated one and don't ever want to but I am happy with the aries man in my life so I don't want to date anyone else,but if I were available cancers are one of the signs I avoid on purpose.

This is very interesting. I think cancers view Geminis the same way, interestingly one of the few neighbouring signs in the Zodiac who don't like eachother. I can't think of another pair like this...click to expand

This explains a lot. I'm a Gemini with an Aries moon, so I'm guessing I'm doubly incapable of dealing with Cancers. I can think of a few reasons. My Aries side wants confrontation, Cancers tend to avoid confrontation because Crabs are... crabby. They tend to retreat or hide in their shell. Both my Gemini and my Aries are blunt, honest and straightforward. We don't beat around the bush, we break it down like a twig. Cancers tend to be the twig in this equation. Both my Gemini and my Aries are independent. We hate co-dependence. Cancers cling to you and won't leave you alone. Both my Gemini and Aries hate insecurity (we have self-esteem in spades and if you someone doesn't appreciate it, oh well, can't have everything), Cancers need constant reassurance. My Gemini is emotionally unavailable (detached), Cancers are emotional bundles, which makes my Gemini flee the scene in an instant and never look back. Both my Gemini and my Aries hate weakness and playing the victim, and you all know about Cancers. The Gemini will not show weakness even if you shoot us and the bullet punctures our aorta. We may bleed to death in private, but as far as other people are concerned, we are FINE. Always. And we don't need any help. Ever. We will never admit to being weak. Geminis don't have a problem admitting to being wrong. With Cancers, it's always the other person who hurt them or did something wrong to them or hurt their oh so sensitive sentiments. It's always the other person because the Cancer is so sensitive and easily hurt. It makes Cancers look like they can't stand up for themselves (it makes them look weak). Both the Aries and the Gemini will say: Get over yourself, weakling. Buckle the fuck up and get on with the program! So it goes. I could go on for days. The Gemini/Aries and Cancers just don't mesh on any level.click to expand

Oh, okay. I thought there was some hidden implication there and I couldn't figure out what exactly it was supposed to imply. Is why I asked. Nevermind then.
To bring this back to the original topic, I actually wish a Cancer commented in this thread. I'm sure they'd have a few things to say about us Gemini/Aries combos and you thoroughbred Aries folks. I'm sure they have stories, too, and I'd love to hear them!click to expand

Nah, apply logic. take away any mention of signs and reread, I think that's a good place to start.

@sugararies: Unfortunately, there's a lot of hypocrisy on these boards. People pick and choose who and what they'll defend based on a sign and their own experiences. They don't comment based on any sort of objectivity or perspective.

Well, I haven't seen any serious comments here so far that draws me intellectually enough to discuss it. I found the discussion involving Aries/Libra interesting. This whole thing about Cancers is a massive bundle of stereotypes and anecdotal experiences about which no other cancer can comment. It's not really personal to me to draw a specific comment you see.click to expand

Posted by whever
I don't find your comment intellectually stimulating either, but I'm a Gemini and it won't stop me from replying to you because I like to spin stories off other people's ish, however anecdotal or trivial it may be. I like to contribute SOMETHING to discussion instead of acting like a 6-year-old who says: "I know, but I won't tell. Neener."
How about if you hop into the Cancer forum, where I posted a very specific thread on Cancer behavior that bothered me in a very specific situation? Or should I further personalize this discussion for you? I don't think I can because, to my knowledge, we don't have any friends in common and we're not related.
As for the discussion not being up to your standard of "seriousness", we barely know eachother and I really don't want it to get any more serious than that. So see, there is some truth to this bundle of speculation. This is not sarcasm so hold the torch: I'm very sorry about this discussion not being up to your intellectual standards. Again, not sarcasm: What would be up to your intellectual standards? See, I'm into movies. Would Your Majesty be intellectually inclined to discuss the fine points of Jason Voorhees from "Friday the 13th" being/not being a Cancer because he clings to his mother and ends up acting like her? What about a discussion about Norman Bates from "Psycho"? Is that too speculative/anecdotal? What WOULDN'T be?
I asked for personal stories FROM Cancers -- stories of WHATEVER kind, anecdotal or not, just something

Posted by tiziani
At the same time though, if you use too much impersonal logic it's easy to come off as condescending. People (all of us, me, you) like to see a little personal energy and enthusiasm thrown into the mix every now and then just to be able to trust you're speaking from experience and putting yourself on the line.

Lol...take it easy. I wasn't the one pleading for attention. This whole response above is a badly put together illogical rant, try again 😉. You can easily have a discussion in abstraction about a particular group of people without personalisation.click to expand

Posted by Marrakesha
Lmao @ incandescentcancer: That is so freakin' true!! One minute they're defending the person or sign because they're involved with someone else of that sign, but the minute they have issues or there's a break-up, then they're bad-mouthing and saying how horrible the sign is and crying in their cups. It's hilarious and ridiculous.

Posted by whever
SOMEONE can comment on or put their spin on. But in order to do that we need SOME KIND of input from you first. How about YOU intellectually enlighten us plebs? Be my guest and make the stories as serious as you want them to be. Generalize all you want. This is a forum for zodiac signs, for Peter's sakes. Or make them specific. I asked for stories to draw you Cancers into the discussion because this thread's purpose is to rag on you guys and I want to turn the tables around. Hold the passive-aggressive.

Posted by whever
Pleading for attention? Are you 12? I'm on an Internet message board, whose purpose is exchange of comments, whether they be negative, positive, dumb, logical, or illogical. Of course I want people to respond to my comments. I want to have a discussion. How is that "pleading for attention"?
Yes, you can discuss things in the abstract. But so far you haven't said a thing about a thing, abstract or concrete. You're just being condescending for the sake of being condescending. Your logic is "I know something, but I won't tell.

Posted by whever
I gave you examples. Two. I gave you generalizations (in my previous long ass comment about Cancers). You only said that you don't find the latter "intellectually stimulating" enough to respond. So see, you didn't actually respond to any of my attempts to get SOME (ANY) kind of commentary out of you. If you don't find my comments "intellectually stimulating", think of some of your own examples of Aries behavior or personal stories in your dealing with Aries people. It's simple/easy as that.

I agree with this statement. Most people related annoyances in life have to do with different communication style s more than anything else. A lot of times i have noticed two people discussing conceptually the same solution in different style s and disagreeeing vehemently. I try to depersonalize things as much as possible in order to discuss logically but the counterparty must have the same mindset.click to expand

Posted by whever
Right, and everybody else just conform to YOUR PERSONAL standards for debate. Your IMPERSONAL standards. I see. What if I want to discuss personal examples and demand that you do as well?

Funny thing is people say, Aries are selfish (emotionally). Yet I have truly given 300% of myself to many people without needed anything in return. Come on! No one should live like that.... constantly giving to others and always feeling empty afterwards. There should be balance or else its just not worth it.

Regarding "childish tit for tat", I'll just assume that you haven't read any of the comments in this thread. There's so much of it here it's like a forest of "childish tit for tat." Is that a good/bad thing? I don't know. It's entertaining. We're not curing cancer here. No pun intended. My point in inviting Cancers to relate stories/anecdotes/generalizations/impersonal statements/whatever was more along the lines of: Let's get the ball rolling. Let's exchange grievances. Maybe someone will learn something. Be amused by it. Or take SOMETHING away from it. By saying that personal stories aren't relevant you're crossing out someone's very personal experience. You're talking about communication style s. That may be someone's communication style .
But you can't have a discussion with someone who clearly doesn't want to have a discussion and is being difficult on purpose. I have better things to do with my time. Bye.

I'm sure that's how the Crab (s) feel about their contribution to humanity as well, but that doesn't mean others share their opinion. Just like others may not feel you're as selfless as you're giving yourself credit to be!
I thought I was selfless because I constantly did things for others without them asking me, but when they finally DID need me I was nowhere to be found. I felt I was being used when in fact, I was the one with the wrong priorities.
