Hi everyone! I'm cancer male, 27 years old.

Today I read that cancer men are the last ones to mature, roughly around age 29-30. Until then they have difficult time uderstanding who they are and what they want in life. I find that its true in my case. I'm very unsure and uncertain about almost everything. Had a scorpio wife for 5 years. We're now separated and it feels like I made a mistake but on some days I feel like it was the right thing to do. Career wise its blur too.

My question is do any of the cancer men here agree with this 30 year old bench mark belief?

A book i have mentions 28 as a turning point, when a cancer is ready to look into adulthood or something.

I'm 24, my interests revolve around guitar and ps2, and i've just started looking for a career opportunity.

You do the math.

I wish I had read that book before starting a relationship with a cancer man. 😢
Oh well, what's done is done...no use thinking about that.

VanZend, welcome to the forum.

Interesting question. My cancerboy is 29 years old and it seems like he has been confused which has put me & him in a really rocky place. It seems though that things are getting figured out, it's just getting to the end & starting anew. Based on knowing this guy, I would have to agree.

Hello VanZend:

If you are a person who doesnt take life seriously, then take the Tiamat's notce:

If we live by our nature, then things that is true to our nature are right things to do, while opposite is wrong. If your nature said that this is right person, then you can't miss.

Here's what the horoscope said. It was not printed in English so I'm translating as best I can:

"Cancer - sensative, charming, extrovagant sign but he's lacking experience. That's why until 30 years of age his life is at a stand still, everything that's happened before 28-29 is not serious. Most cancerians in the first half of their lives think less of themselves and are afraid to express their opinion.

The path to happiness for a Cancer lies in uderstading him/herself and thinking of oneself as part of some kind of "group" or "body" (for exmaple: I'm happy when my family is happy)."

The last part is a bit vague. I think it means being less self-centered/selfish.

haffo, that sounds nice but not very clear.

I can't make up my mind if she was the right person for me. Just like our moods are changing all the time my feelings for her change almost on daily basis. Very confusing. On the other hand if there's any doubt that should mean we can't be together?

Absolutely not. You just have to figure out the root of those doubts and deal with them yourself. I don't think everyone acts the same way when they are in a relationship...I have been in your type of situation where I had doubts about the future or if I was doing the right thing...stuff like that. I think I've read some where that cancers and pisces tend to focus on the negatives of a relationship a lot more than other sign...It's always like we've this habit of listing everything that could ever go wrong in our head even when the relationship is going well.

If this is how you feel, then my advise is to ignore those momentary doubts and continue this relationship. Only time will tell if she's the right person for you or not...if she's then that's great.If she's not then you can learn from your mistakes.
Either way, you gain something.But if you break up now b/c of your doubts, what if a few years from now you finally figure out she's the one and she's unavailable...what then?

Take care.

Now that is very difficult to answer. The difficulity in answering this question actually in you. You don't know what your heart wants yet. Sorry but I cannot answer this.
