Thanks. Yes, I've heard that Cancers are very sensitive & family oriented. We Virgos can be a bit "cold" -- but we are so trustworthy and loyal. She'll probably be morer similar to her Scorpio father..both water signs

Hello SO!! Congrats on your new bundle of Joy!

My mother is a Leo and our relationship gets very hot and cold. Our relationship is more like a sister relationship than a mother daughter one so you have that to look forward to when she gets older. We fight laugh joke and argue just as sisters would. She even sometimes mistakenly calls me by her sisters name.

My sister is a year older and is a gemini. There relationship is more your typical mother daughter one.

I've heard that Virgo/Cancer is a tough combination. Lots of people say we're too "critical" for "sensitive crab". The Scorpio/Cancer relation is seen in a much better light. Alot of books will say how "moody" the cancer is and how "clingy" .. Does this tend to be true?

Congratulations on the baby So! 🙂

My son isn't a Cancer, but he's a Taurus with a Cancer moon and he acts **very** "Cancer-ish". He's very affectionate and clingy. Follows me everywhere still - and he's 8. Still wants to sleep in my bed sometimes if I'll let him, still follows me to see where I'm going even if I'm just going to the bathroom, etc. Yes, he's also very moody. Sometimes he wants to be close and sit rightnextome, other times he wants to be in his room, left alone and if you bother him he has a fit. lol

But he's helped me to be a lot more easy going about dealing with other people's moods(not internalize them or take them personal) and has helped me to become even more affectionate than I was before. He also needs a lot of attention and encouragement.

While the stereotype is of Virgos being "critical", I was always more critical of myself than anyone else. However, with my son I've learned how much further you can get with someone by being positive and encouraging. Instead of pointing out a flaw, I'll encourage it's opposite and it's much healthier and more positive for all of my relationships, not just my relationship with my son.

Hope that helped. 🙂

P.S. Don't worry about how things will be with your daughter. Our children have a way of training *us* instead of the other way around. You'll be surprised at how well you'll adapt to her. 😉
