Caution...? I've dated an Aquarius Sun, Aries Moon, Pisces Venus - he was changing his mind about being in a romantic relationship every 6 months or so, but still wouldn't leave me. Surprisingly unemotional, but very charming. The kind of person one still finds adorable, even after they broke your heart. And he was married to a Cancer for a long time 😉

Advice.....? Just do it.

Wisdom...? Know when to stop if it's going in circles.

That already sounds like her... and I suppose I am worried about the changing of the mind after a while. I can feel intense chemistry when we are together, over text a bit but then the aloof switch hits and will suddenly stop texting.

I enjoy the feelings...but definitely overthink everything...and yeah...the future...

she has an aries moon, the ultimate train wreck placement

haha, just like my ex wife.

You will live and die by that Moon if you are a Cancer. I have a feeling you are a confused Gemini tho.

My ex wife had that Moon. If you're Cancer, that Moon will make you unguarded next to her. But the anger later on in life will be a force.

It is so true...I am trying to work up my muscle to not be so revealing... It is the fire/air mix I am thinking. I get super charged, and it is thrilling...but I think I also could see the future you describe.

Aries moon. Actually fire moons in aqua suns are hardwork lol that's all 😂


It seems like that. I am trying to get her emotional tune down, and feel like I am beginning to understand it pretty good.

Every time I try to back off a little because I worry that I might be overtrying, she reaches out, and it always feels like she pushes the button just right. Hopefully I am just not lost in the sauce.

Yeah. I hope so too. I dated one with fire moon. When it was good, it was really good. When it was bad.... It was really bad. I can't do the consistent change of behavior from hot and cold. And he seemed to enjoy fighting because I think it makes him feel that the relationship is still worth working on. I dunno but that kind of dynamic wasn't for me. But we are all different anyway.

I think that there is a part of me that enjoys this intensity, and I have already kind of foreseen some intense scenarios. I don't really like that stuff for the sake of it, but, right now, I think it is giving bumps to the fawning chemistry...and it is kind of hard to turn away from...

I’ll gave you advice from someone who actually has these placements.

I’m Aquarius sun Aries moon Pisces Venus. What do you want to know?


Honestly, I am just going a little nuts with this chemistry. It is insane how fast I get energized by being around her. Texting is annoying because it is always scant. She is the first person I have ever really talked to that is into the same things, and we both vibe on the same levels with regard to being awkward.

My outside is pretty intimidating, but insides are pretty soft. While she is a bit standoffish and curt, I also think she is not just pretty, but she is dark and gothish, which seems to put it over the top. But when we are together things start feeling warm and my insides get expressive and I feel like I witness her energetically blossom.

She has a long term bf 5 years that seems like is getting old, and I kind of had her back where we work. I have been dating someone for a few months but have been unsure, then this girl and I met. That with the chemistry, I feel like I am slowly flowing toward some impending thing that I hope does not end in emotional torment, but I also can't help but feel these intense things. I thought I had experienced intensity before but...

Before this last bf, she was with a cancer for 9 years, and I think she is starting to have reminiscent feels...but also...I feel like it is subconscious for her. I don't know...if you get a read on any of that, feel free to interpret as you will.

Of course, I’ll try my best.

So is she still with the bf? If she is, let that be. No matter how strong the connection is between you too. The last thing you want is her following an emotional urge to break it off with her bf just to see where it can go with you, than running back to the ex and you’re left as being the rebound guy.

...

My cancer sister is currently married to an aqua man. There’s been a lot of back and forth in the beginning but it seems to be settling out. She had to curve her emotions a bit, not being overly dramatic about situations and he had to learn how express himself more, being emotionally open to hearing her out about matters. So take it slow, really get to know each other as friends first.

Okay, this was a complete breath of fresh air.

Yeah, she is still with him. If I were to try and break it down. We both come from backgrounds that make us not too open around common folk. Especially where we work. It is like HS and she seems a bit more traditional like me, but also a little rebellious. So, we meet when I start at this job, and she is really closed off, but then learning that she was being harassed and she hated it on the unit we work on. I already thought she was attractive, but I think she opened up with my softer approach. And, I think that I reflexively was doing the mating ritual, but feel a bit bad about it now. We just hit it off so easy.

So, then I find out about the bf, a Pisces, and she describes it, and it sounds like she and him are both pretty close, but a little lackluster in passion area. Like more friendly now, and she says he wants her to control him more, which she doesn't enjoy. He seems more dark/atheist type and kind of dismisses her likes, and she seems just stubborn and to herself about it. And little bits revealed gave me the impression that things might be a little tense with suspicions, but they moved out to this area together for the job for her, and he is waiting on the same program to become the same type of worker.

She finally got a transfer and we have been messaging here and there. I told her early on that I really liked her style and likes, and encouraged her to be as much or more of herself as she desires. Then, I started doing my cancerian thing and buying her chocolate pastries for the mandated overtime. I was a bit mystified and tend to be a spoiler when there is someone I enjoy in my life.

Eventually, after she transferred units and would go quiet, but then message me later wondering about why I haven't been reaching out, I sent her a big text about how I felt, but that lately I am trying to be a better friend. I really like her and who she is, but I also would like to keep her respect and that I am unsure as to how to do that best.

She messaged me later that she thinks she gets it and that she would try and ease back and stop being so nice to me.

Then she said she left me something in my locker...it was a really cool shirt that I liked a lot...which is not common, so extra feels. So, things started going back to how they were as I told her that I don't want to not be friends.

Some stop start texting here and there for a couple weeks.

Then a couple nights, she stops me on my way out and she teases me and rubs my arm, talking about how I am so avoidant, and then I basically said "look whose talking". In the parking lot, she kept telling me to "reach out more". I told here that I think we are both nervous critters, so I will try, but she is welcome to as well.

I get these crazy flirt vibes, but over text, it is so stop start.

So, here I am, trying not too seem like some kind of foolish hack, but I think that my gem moon gets lost in grandiose fantasy to a fault, and I love the feelings I get...but I get the impression that she doesn't know what she wants. Like, there is a really strong part that she is interested in me, but I totally acknowledge the relationship thing. It makes me lean on my intuition that I may just be a strong beta orbiter. My buddy, a leo, who she seems to be a bit more revealing in a friendly way to, said that she had said something about "she has options" in a way that furthers my suspicions about tensions at home. My buddy has kind of been helping me keep a manly perspective and try to keep realistic.

I am mid thirties , as is she, and didn't really think feels like this happened anymore, or at least to such a degree. She seemed to be of the mind that she didn't really want kids...then she would only want one... and now I "feel" like I am in some subconscious tractor beam as a possible mate for offspring. Maybe this is too deep, and I kind of wonder if I know how to be a decent friend. I tend to try and avoid people as to avoid feelings, especially complicated ones. But I am a bit stuck in this with this hope that I am close to attempting to dash myself. I am mostly perplexed about being revealing about my feelings and her not dismissing me like I imagine she does with most guys. I kind of figured that would do the unwinding...whereas I am unsure if it did anything else but possibly make things deeper.

I don't really feel like she wants to be honest about most things in her life, like more of a friend would. Like, share about her bf, how life progress is. Things that would lighten up the feelings and humanize both of us in each others eyes. Like she is withholding that I am not to certain on as to why. I assume possibly out of courtesy, but I kind of thought that friends were honest to avoid complications. I thought that being out in the open would make things easier to manage or dry up.

I have a sneaking suspicion that she may be in like some new discovery phase. I have had multiple encounters with women who are having problems in a relationship, flirt, engage, but then end up leaving once they are free. I don't seek them out, they just seem to gravitate toward my vibe, and I indulge because I think of my cancer tendency to want to foster health into someone or something suffering. I think it is a weird, alpha nice guy type curse.

I also think there is something to her avoidance that connects to an inner child wound/need kind of thing. It is all intense as hell, and I was hoping for a possible sharing the good/romantic vibes, but being practical and just dealing with where we are. I could deal with something just emotional but pleasantly distant. But your response was way more forthright than she has been. So I think she is particularly avoidant.

We are psych nurses, I am really into psych and try to deduce this all with psych and astrology, but I am left at a loss on this. Which I attribute to being to close to the situation...I don't enjoy feeling like I don't have a grasp on the direction of something.

I am Cap asc. and I believe she is a Gem asc. if that helps clear anything up.

I feel like she gets overwhelmed by the wordy messages, which makes me curious why she isn't just over the whole emotionality in general.

With respect, I kind of expect the dismissive from Aquarians, so I am more surprised by not being dismissed.

Another thing, If she’s with a Pisces.. good luck. Im pretty sure she may complain a bit about him but, leaving the whole relationship is something else.

Pisces can handle the Aries energy a lot smoother than cancer can. The fuse to anger and intensity just washes off their shoulders, and they’re forgiving.

Cancer will pinch back and brood when hurt so it all comes down to how much can you handle. I know this because I’m married to a Pisces man.


I think that is a fair assessment, and I also think that there was a part of me that had an idea of this too, but I feel that damn fog of euphoria blocking my sensibilities. I suppose it is the romance addict in me that really can't let this go. I think that the aloofness drives me into puzzler mode and that mixes with the adrenaline and that mixes with maybe a toxic hope and so on...

It brings a sense of peace to read your words, and I suppose accepting this as only ever being meant to be bitter sweet in the end is for the best.

I had a feeling that the pisces would be a better match. I don't exactly understand why cancers get offended more and can't let go the way they do, but I do believe your words about them handling things better.

I got out of a nightmare a year and a half ago with a Taurus/Capricorn with Taurus/Venus that made me feel like I had a complete breakdown, and it was a hard road back. This situation juiced up my soul in a way that I think made me feel alive again and I wanted to possess the feeling of being alive that I hadn't had for many dark days, in a way that was never meant to be; as all good drugs make you desire I imagine.

I suppose learning how to abstain will be the tough part now.

Thank you; sincerely.

Just do it...You courageous Pisceans are something to admire to a Cancer like me. I wish I had your ability to let go...of inhibitions and of the past. I have been trying to adopt a "think like a pisces" montra.

Unguarded is exactly it...and I hate it. It is like this weird open channel and my energies start flowing out in a rush, which then starts making the fem energies come out. This is totally embarrassing as a dude, as I believe her sun in aqua makes her more like a dude emotionally and my emotional feels are a turn off. But, then it is like crazy trying to get back into the fortress of a shell...

Then, if I take a few days to myself, and somehow we connect (run in, or over messaging at work) she will make it sound like how I have seemed so distant and that I should reach out more...when I kind of just stopped because she suddenly stopped messaging back.

Girl thing? Confused aqua thing? Starting to think I might have a similar affect on her and she is just dealing with it as best as she can also...not the exact same way, but maybe similar.

Part 1. Hey guys I could really use some advice, Aquarius sun leo moon Scorpio ascendant. I’m a younger guy anyways probably about a year ago I stumbled across a beautiful cancer woman on social media. I’m a romantic guy I don’t try to suppress my emotions purposely anymore because over the years I’ve learned who I am luckily at a young age. Anyways this is basically modern day love at first sight although we have never actually met. I’ve read sooo much on astrology, and it’s true opposites attract it’s as if I’m the North Pole and she is the south. Drives me crazy I love it...
