Cancer?

Hello,

I'm new to Astrology and I only recently found out that i'm a Cancer.

I have read that i'm most "compatible" with the signs of Scorpio and Pisces.

My question is, is this a specific compatibility or can I also be compatible with other signs as well? I seem to get along with all kinds of people.. what makes Scorpio and Pisces stand out?

I personally think that you should not listen to astrology in sense that it should dictate you who you should be by looking at your birth date.

Astrological personalities are perfect models of personalities that we can actally see among people. So, find out to which exact model you do fit in the first place and then you will have your best answer as to with whom you are most compatible with.

What makes Scorpio and Pisces stand out? All water signs are deep people. They do find connection between each other in their depth.

Haffo,

What do you mean by "exact model"?

" What do you mean by "exact model"?"

Aries, Taurus, Gemini......

Thanks tauruschic, this is what I was after.

Any idea where I can find out what all of these are for me?

google search "birth chart." a lot of sites will do a free sampling. and welcome to the board 🙂

this one works

Thanks guys.

Ok, here is my chart (any expert analysis will be appreciated :-)

Sun - Cancer

Rising - Leo

Moon - Capricorn

Mercury - Leo

Venus - Cancer

Mars - Scorpio

Jupiter - Capricorn

Saturn - Scorpio

Uranus - Sagittarius

Neptune - Sagittarius

Pluto - Libra

Does it mean anything when I have alot of signs twice? 2X Cancer, 2X Leo, 2X Capricorn..

SRG, I can't believe how alike our charts are. I am no expert, although I love astrology. We have 3 of the 5 major planets in common. The fact that you have duplicate signs only brings a stronger influence of that signs qualities. However, he planet represents something different as well and you would have to apply it accordingly. Moon ruled by cancer is the influence of motherhood, family, illusion sometime, etc. Mercury rules Gemini and Virgo the influence of commnication, travelling, etc.

All this can be found on the internet. This is a good site:http://www.findyourfate.com/planets/mercury.htm

Keep in mind though that there is more to it then Mercury in Leo, etc. That's not cut in stone. You would also have to take into concideration, the fact that depending strictly on the time you were born, each planet/sign falls into a certain house (there are 12 of them) and each one of those rules a certain aspect of life, too. I know...blah, blah, blah...I'm rambling, but I hope it helped even a little. It interesting to learn as long as you don't live your life strictly by what sign is where, etc. Life is far more fascinating than astrology alone, huh??

Sun - Cancer
Rising - Leo
Moon - Taurus
Mercury - Leo
Venus - Cancer
Mars - Gemini
Jupiter - Leo
Saturn - Virgo
Uranus - Scorpio
Neptune - Sag.

Something I wonder, SRG...can you tend to have a temper? Even if you get over it quickly?

Moonbaby, yes this helps. Up until 2 weeks ago, I knew nothing about astrology so I can't say I was living my life according to it. Alot of people I know are into it, so I thought it wouldn't hurt to find out.

I'm fairly docile.. 🙂 someone would seriously have to turn the screws on me to get me pissed. Even if I do get that way, it doesn't last very long. I always forgive but I never forget.

I have another question: how dominant is a person's sun sign over all of the other signs?

"Even if I do get that way, it doesn't last very long. I always forgive but I never forget."

Well said...me, too! 😉

Well, your sun sign is who you are. Your traits, etc. Your rising sign is how other see you more than anything.

That's a good question...I think it's the core of who you are. All the rest are like the layers. Peel em' back and you get the real you!

I'm the same way MB,,,I can get REALLY MAD,,,usually because of hurt feelings...But as soon as the person apologizes or shows some type of remorse...I cool off...It takes a lot of enrgy for me to stay mad at someone....

Hahaha! LOL! We're such brats, really...

It doesn't take much to hurt us...(or really piss us off for that matter), but say the right thing (but don't bs us) and we're mostly all better!

I try to stay out of conflicts and fights altogether.. but if someone has beef with me.. put on the gloves and be ready to duke it out 🙂

You guys are cracking me up!! :0

Guys, going back to my original question, does it make sense for me to be more selective relationship-wise to look for a Scorpio or Pisces? Do most girls even care that much about Astrology?

I can't tell you whether or not girls like astrology. It's too general a question.

I do think that both those signs are good for you. As is maybe a Taurus. Us Cancers tend to be very patient and sit back and hope for the best. Some of the scorp. women I know can tend to be a little tough for a cancer man. But, you can't go based on that. I wouldn't aim for any particular sign although as a Cancer, I would steer clear of an Aries. LOL, no seriously, I would suggest just going with your heart... I know that is vague and a standard answer. But, truthfully, it makes sense. I myself have been in 2 long term relationships (a pisces and a scorp.) I'm currently with a scorp and I adore him. He is the most wonderful, gentle (yet rough in all the right areas) and a wonderful father and man. (hard worker, too).

So...go with your heart..it doesn't usually steer you wrong.

Thanks moonbaby.. this makes sense to me.

If anybody else has any advice or experiences they'd be willing to share, I would value your feedback.

I don't quite agree.. if someone is BSing me.. I can spot it quickly but instead of playing a victim, I might choose to make it interesting and BS them a bit too and see what happens 🙂

Anybody know what I can't post my own photo in my profile?

Nailed it perfectly, CANCERBUDDY!

Some Cancers are known to put up with it...in other words, be a push over...NOT ME. I can't stand the feeling.

What I loved about my cancer is that I have no need ot play emotional poker with him. Not only it is of no use but I feel safe that I won't be taken for a ride.

19Eleven, in your opinion, would you say that overall Cancer - Scorpio is a good combination?

I would say yes for sure. As I said before...I've been with mine for 4 years. Like with most Scorpios and Cancers, once you know you can let your soft under belly show...you are at ease.

It may take a while and there will def. be some push and pull, but it is a very fulfilling/exciting combo(to me)

Sorry moonbaby, I should have been more specific. What I meant was.. is the Cancer - Scorpio combination universal regardless of sex? Is the Cancer Female - Scorpio Male combination the same as Cancer male - Scorpio female?

Gotcha..

I'd have to say, from what I gather, the female Cancer/male Scorp is the better of the two. I am obviously not speaking from experience, but it seems as though the male Cancer can be much too soft and/or wishy washy for the female Scorpio. She definetly needs a 'man' and NOT a softy. I'm not saying that he shouldn't be sensitive, cause that is very important to the water signs.

Im simply saying that any man choosing to be with a female Scorpio should NOT be any sort of push over.

Moonbaby, doesn't what you wrote here simply add up to the basic character traits of a Cancer?: outward toughness and inward sensitivity? I guess the real trick here is to maintain a balance of both.

Exactly. And if your eyes are on a Scorpio, make sure you don't fluctuate too much. I know that I can drive mine CRAZY with the so called roller coaster of emotions. With a Pisces, (I had a very long relationship with one)they allow you to flucuate a little bit and can handle the ride a bit better than a Scorpio. Keep in mind that a Scorpio sees black or white...THAT'S IT. There is no room for gray.

That said...balance is the key word. Be straight forward and do not beat around the bush with one. My experience with a Pisces is that you can wear you heart on your sleeve and they will embrace it. (but might drive you crazy with their "la-la dreamy" sort of way of thinking) You may have to be the push to reality with them.

So there's no compromising with an uncompromising Scorpio 🙂

Something tells me that there is more than 1 kind of Scorpio though. I recall last semester there was a girl in one of my classes that was a Scorpio - I remember her saying her birthday was on November 2. It was weird.. she didn't seem to fit the profile of one at all. Every time I sat next to her (we had a small class and often had group discussions) she would squirm, giggle and laugh alot for what seemed like no reason. When I asked her about it, she said something like "I can't help it..". I was confused since I wasn't telling jokes or making faces.. no matter what I said or did, she thought everything was hilarious. Maybe I just missed something. By comparison, my aunt is also a Scorpio, her birthday is Nov. 19, and she's a pretty serious person.. almost religious.

I didn't make much of it then but now with hindsight, I probably should have asked that girl out.. 🙂

Is cancer-scorpio relationship good? Well it is a toss up according to me. I have seen it work better when it is cancer male & scorpio female. And no the conflicts in this conbination is not due to cancer's wishy washy behaviour. It is due to scorpio's need for dominence and cancer's refusal to bend. The crab's sensitivity and imaginative ways is quite a gift to scorpio.

where a female cancer & male scorpio combi is concerned...the female crab s no longer accpeting a subservient role. In these modern times she is fully expressing the full range of emotions and ambitions that goes on within her. To make this combo work either the female crab learns to be very subtle abotu her ambitions and keeps a tight check on her moods..or the male scorpio jsut learns to accpet her with all her chld-woman kinda fluctuating craziness and jsut celebrate the love that she has to offer...believe that this female will never harm the person she loves and if accpeted for what she is ..the man will fnd how deliciously she can balances his ego needs and her leadership qualities.

Is cancer's refusal to bend the same as cancer not wanting to be dominated?

SRG asked "Is cancer's refusal to bend the same as cancer not wanting to be dominated?"

it could be not wanting to be dominated, or testing how much you love them by persisting until you MAKE them bend, or really wanting to be dominated but afraid to admit it.

Either way, it is frustrating as hell but worth it if it's the right person.

Whatever keeps it interesting.. always keep them on their toes 🙂

-- so that's how you crabs think huh? aaaarrrrrrrrrrggh i'm seeing red i'm seeing red! lol

"-- so that's how you crabs think huh? aaaarrrrrrrrrrggh i'm seeing red i'm seeing red! lol"

Come on.. don't be mad.. you know we're loyal to the end. Excuse my crab curiosity but when is your bf's birthday?

Contrary to what some may want to believe..Cancer's are not completely soft...I am actually very dominate with men I don't want...The man that I want or interest me,,is the man that will not let me run the show,,or dominate them..the kind of man that will make me think about what I say to them...before I say it...

Bottom line...I want to be dominated to a certain degree...make's me feel like a woman,,and makes me feel like I'm with a real man....Okay

"Come on.. don't be mad.. you know we're loyal to the end. Excuse my crab curiosity but when is your bf's birthday?"

-- July 9th. Is this true? You like to be dominated? Where's my whip...? *runs off looking through closet

"-- July 9th. Is this true? You like to be dominated? Where's my whip...? *runs off looking through closet"

Not that kind of domination.. 🙂 if you bring the whip, can I bring the handcuffs?

Wow... you want the whole package huh? Handcuffed AND whipped... so I suppose the screaming in pain will only be an act right? Ok so judging from the things I've heard men say... 'stop' would only mean 'whip me until i'm bloody' ...? lol

Ok so explain to me... you like to be dominated? How so?

Well...I tend to meet a lot of men who take a lot of crap off of me....examples: me throwing a temper tantrums...them giving in...asking ME various times when they are going to see me,,,,,I like a man who almost demands what they want and if I like them they will get it....Exampple: Calling and saying "I'm coming to get u tonight,,were going out instead of asking...The kind of man who won't take my crap basically..and who knows what they want,,,I don't mind being a submissive woman to the man I love...I won't take anything now...But I don't mind biting my tongue at times are maybe rephrasing a comment where it is less threatening to his manhood....However in the bedroom I can be very dominatin,,which is a huge turn on for the man I am so submissive for outside the bedroom....

Softy - I am 100% the same way. Don't know if it's a Cancer thing, or having a fire rising...but you hit the nail on the head!

"Wow... you want the whole package huh?"

Well, I thought it would only be fair if I brought something too 🙂 And why do you think the handcuffs would be for me? 😉

"Handcuffed AND whipped... so I suppose the screaming in pain will only be an act right? Ok so judging from the things I've heard men say... 'stop' would only mean 'whip me until i'm bloody' ...? lol"

I have a hunch that you wouldn't go that far. Well, maybe..? The thing you have to realise about domination is that it's the submissive person who's in control.

"Ok so explain to me... you like to be dominated? How so?"

Man, you're going way too far with this.. I don't like to be dominated and I also don't like to dominate.. although being as wily and intuitive a crab as I am, I think I could adapt to just about any situation. BTW, my b-day is July 13th.

That's because Softy is a hottie...It has nothing to do with being a Cancer!

How are you anyway Softy?

"I have a hunch that you wouldn't go that far. Well, maybe..?"

Maybe? hee hee TC knows no limits! Will go as far as her captive likes (except letting him go) 🙂 extremes do not frighten this bull lol
Yeah I don't know 'bout that one ha ha I COULD go that far if my crab liked (wouldn't) but I have a feeling I wouldn't want anything to do with a person who enjoyed... stuff of that sort lol Creepo!

"The thing you have to realise about domination is that it's the submissive person who's in control."

Well aware of that mon frere, submissive resorts to mind games (even when they themselves may not be aware of it) to get any desired attention. Dominant must never ever give submissive what it wants wHeN it wants. Once dominant gives in to a game for fear of... ? the tables have turned. Control over oneself is key.

The thing would be... what kind of sicko relationship is that? 😢

"Man, you're going way too far with this.. I don't like to be dominated and I also don't like to dominate.."

Figured, sounds like games to me... unless one likes to be the submissive all the time and the other dominant but that is rare as I think no one wants to be completely submissive and the 'dominant' has to get bored of it. There must be some... ehhhh... well, a little challenge 🙂

Plus my crab does not like to be dominated 😛 But he likes saying 'You just listen to me' when he's giving advice lol 'know it all' *rolls eyes
He's a cancer, scorp decante and I find him as mysterious as the scorpio actually. Some of what it says:
--- These subjects are strong Cancer individuals but the associated temperament may lean in favor of being dictatorial and domineering. ---


"although being as wily and intuitive a crab as I am, I think I could adapt to just about any situation. BTW, my b-day is July 13th."

Being adaptable is great for relationships. You're a pisces decante, check this out:

--------The Third Decan of Cancer is also known as the Pisces Decante and the "Week of the Persuader." The influence of Neptune, one of the secondary planets governing this Decan, can induce some unique and interesting characteristics but chiefly adds much to everyday creativity and imagination which is useful in the general creative process. This can be of great advantage since it provides natives of Cancer with the ability to employ their inherent good taste with wardrobe and make-up, as well as in the selection of embellishments for the personal environment. Third Decan subjects might be good interior decorators, window dressers, gardners or landscape artists. They are also often talented with a paintbrush, musical instrument, sewing machine or sculpting clay. In short, these natives appreciate most art forms and generally have an excellent sense of rhythm. In order to achieve greatest happiness and efficiency, Third Decan Cancer individuals must attune their personalities to the beat of life itself. Of all Cancer individuals, it is those of this Third Decan who are likely to be the most sensitive, prone to laugh easily or cry with the minimum amount of triggering. Thus, it is vital that these natives avoid negative people and negative environments. Falling under the jurisdication of both Neptune and the Moon (primary governing planet of this Decan), these subjects are inclined to "soak up" practically everything that is around them. Third Decan Cancer natives tend to be somewhat private by nature and may need to work a little harder in order to bring their many talents and abilities to actual fruition. They are probably fairly well-adjusted to accepting the fact that they will generally experience delays and setbacks more often than most others. These natives are the most romantic and idealistic of Cancer individuals when it comes to matters of the heart. However, it will be necessary to exercise at least a little extra practicality to avoid involvement in e

Thank You Cancerlady.."A Hottie",,,,I like it....I'm doing pretty good these days....I checked out the pictures of the babies and they are GORGEOUS...They look alot like you..

"Maybe? hee hee TC knows no limits! Will go as far as her captive likes (except letting him go) extremes do not frighten this bull lol
Yeah I don't know 'bout that one ha ha I COULD go that far if my crab liked (wouldn't) but I have a feeling I wouldn't want anything to do with a person who enjoyed... stuff of that sort lol Creepo!"

Well, i'm sure there is a fine line between being uninhibited and being a freak. Just not sure about how fine or blurred that line is..

"Well aware of that mon frere, submissive resorts to mind games (even when they themselves may not be aware of it) to get any desired attention. Dominant must never ever give submissive what it wants wHeN it wants. Once dominant gives in to a game for fear of... ? the tables have turned. Control over oneself is key. The thing would be... what kind of sicko relationship is that?"

Whoa, mon frere.. I didn't know you spoke French.. as far as submissive/dominant goes -It's not a relationship, you said it yourself - it's a mind game.

"Figured, sounds like games to me... unless one likes to be the submissive all the time and the other dominant but that is rare as I think no one wants to be completely submissive and the 'dominant' has to get bored of it. There must be some... ehhhh... well, a little challenge"

Yeah, thats kind of what I meant by "keep them on their toes". A challenge or mystery is never a bad thing.

"Plus my crab does not like to be dominated But he likes saying 'You just listen to me' when he's giving advice lol 'know it all' *rolls eyes
He's a cancer, scorp decante and I find him as mysterious as the scorpio actually."

Yeah, sounds familiar.. I like to say "just trust me" alot 🙂 I say it like a joke but it still doesn't stop people from calling me a smartass 🙂

"Being adaptable is great for relationships. You're a pisces decante, check this out:"

Cool, didn't even know that.. guess that makes me a fishy crab 🙂

I'm a cancer-scorp-decante...what does this mean—
