Cancer & Intuition

So what's your take on our intuition? As people said Cancers have great intuition... and as a Cancer woman sometimes my gut feeling tells me about the true nature of a person. Of course, I am no psychic and I would not know how the person exactly is or their true intention. Yet there is this feeling nagging inside me, telling me that so and so is not appear as they are, and surprisingly later down the road I find out that it's true!

How do you guys deal with this? What I mean is, what do you usually do when you get some bad vibe from a person? Do you cut them off, or do you wait around to see if it is actually true (which what I usually do)? And if you have any stories please do share it here.

PS. Sorry I forgot introduce myself. I am new here, have been a long time lurker of this forum for a while but I just now can muster some courage to create a username and post in this forum. 🙂

Welcome moneyliciouss. I've always tried to befriend lots of different types of people. More than not I'll hang and stick around people that are obviously not cool to hang with. As I've aged, I am faster at cutting these people out but yeah that vague feeling that I don't need to hang with certain people is always there.

Let me ask you this: I find that I'm not exceptionally good at knowing people's motives or true intentions, but I'm pretty good at knowing what people want or would make them happy. That helps to deduce their motives or intentions. Is that how it works for you?

@rabidtalker: Thank you very much for your reply. The answer is yes and no... I'm definitely able to recognize what would make them happy, but not so much with what they want, unless they are related to each other. Reason is I usually can tap into their feelings and feel them, hence I usually get a vibe on what kind of person he/she is, if there is any underlying insecurity or passion on some certain things. Therefore I can read what will make them happy (if they are insecure, they'll be happy if you say nice things to them and all, etc), but as for what they want I don't usually get that from them. I think I read more into their personalities instead of their desires and needs.

Thank you Wineaux! 😄

So what do you do in case you spend 5 min with some certain person and you can feel a bad vibe from them? By saying bad vibe I don't mean about people who have bad intention (because for those types of people obviously the logical thing to do is to run far, far away), but those people with who you can see a potential issue/clash due to them having some quirks in their personality (super know it all, etc), that you know you most likely won't be able to accept?

I feel that Scorps and pisces have us beat on intuitive perception.


moneyliciouss, if someone gives you the creeps there's nothing saying you have to hang out with him/her. Of course if you tend to jump to conclusions or are frequently wrong about people then take that into account and work on being open minded. Intuition is best used inwardly so that it can be turned outwards. It's up to you know where you lie.

@rabidtalker: Hm, I think Scorpio is pretty much at the same level as us Cancers in terms of intuition. Pisces however, I swear, I swear they could read me like an open book! Seriously, how could they do that?

"Intuition is best used inwardly so that it can be turned outwards."

Totally, I couldn't agree more with that. Most of the time I'm right, but there are some cases that I fail to not judge the book by its cover. I sort of dislike someone when I first met them, and later on I found out that they're such a sweet person. Hence I prefer to test and see first if my intuition is correct before taking any actions. But yes you are right, I think I need to be slightly more open minded and less judgmental, which I have become as I grow older.

Thanks for the insight, appreciate it much.
