Its what Merc said! You have to understand how we think and its on emotion. Depending on how we emotionally feel about the situation is how we will react to it.
Merc is a Taurus male, I was waiting to hear it from the horse's mouth. I understand emotions, I am Pisces moon, but the women are a complete mystery to me. They live exclusively inside their heads and analyze everything to the nth degree for imagined maliciousness. And the men aren't much different.
All of the cancers I know are on psyche meds (not that there's anything wrong with that) or self-medicated. Perhaps I should stop trolling mental institutions for dates...
lmao Soft that might be a good solution to finding a more stable partner. A lot of astrological profiles deals with the cancer's propensity for depression and deep thoughts that stir them to self medication, addiction, and psych meds. I still love em tho, I dont think the healthy ones get that far. They find a safe healthy outlet and go for it.
Exactly! Me I don't need meds I put my energy into helping others which improves myself in the process. We have to put our energy into useful things and our mate HAS to challenge our energy. We're ruled on emotions which can change by the minute. So we have to have someone who can try and balance that energy for us because we can't on our own. Cancers are a mystery to everyone trying to connect with us. Its just how it is.
As a cancer female we have a tendency to ABSORB other people's thoughts, feelings and issues, which then makes us complex to those around us. I know myself, that I won't say that I am psychic, but I will say that I am very intuitive and some of my past boyfriends have said asked me "How did you get inside my head."
If you are around a Cancer woman long enough and watch how she interacts with people you will soon notice that she is very cautious. That is because she is very vulnerable and susceptible to being used, abused or mistreated. Not because she welcomes it but because once she lets her guard down and loves a person, she loves really hard.
She has a propensity to stay in relationships well past their expiration date, which becomes emotionally draining on her. This too can be projected into future dealings with men/others.
Also if you, yourself, aren't that in touch with your emotions you WILL NEVER understand Cancer women. Alot of men find that Cancer women are too emotional, ovely sensitive or dramatic. What I find interesting is those same men, more times than not, want to be with us. Wanna know why—? Because we have what they lack. She naturally expresses the feelings that he wants to naturally suppress. Just my thoughts, good luck tho!
Yes SC it can become a bit too much if you can't handle it. Whats your sign? Thats why the Cancer needs a earth sign to keep us grounded. Taurus I would say is the best. Another water sign would only fall in the stream of our emotions causing more emotional ties to develop instead of keeping the tides under control.
*** That is because she is very vulnerable and susceptible to being used, abused or mistreated.
Very insightful, the cancer women I know have all had at least a few relationships where they got drug through the muck. And they never seem to let go. I respect her immensely but I think it's best that I don't let it move past close friendship. Even leos don't like that much drama...
In order for a Cancer male/female to have a successful relationship, they have to let go of all of the pain they endured in the past and put it to the back of their minds. It can be quite difficult. I don't mean forget the experience totally, either. I analogize it like a woman giving birth.....LOL,
Most women say that they remember the intensity of birth but nor the full throttle of pain they endured, thus the reason they go back to have more children.
Cancers can hold onto to those memories & pain as if it occurred yesterday. I think that is alot of the reason why I myself, am attracted to air signs. They have a tendency to be carefree with emotion and not let it get them down, which is an area that Cancers have difficulty doing.
Syzygy, I'm not going to let astrology make my final decision. I just wanted to get some insight into what she might be thinking. Obviously everyone is different, but some astrology characteristics seem to be universal.
For now I'm just going to be her friend and establish trust and respect. She is a really good person, I would want her in my life regardless of whether we were dating. But I also want an idea of what kind of mess I could be getting into...
It would be a mess if you tried anything more than being friends. Our emotional rollercoaster rides would be too much for you to handle. You're already having a hard time grasping so it would only get worse if you pursued a relationship.
I don't think they actually make it through the nut house, Nurse Ratched immediately recognizes that their crazy can't be fixed and boots them out ASAP.
I'm done with cancer chica, her moods alternate from old soul to two year old with a brief layover in reality. But it's more entertaining than TV ... friends yes, GF no ...
It's too bad she can't communicate as an adult, but what really pisses me off are the games. And that she won't admit to them when I call her out. It really is like dealing with a child.
Who likes to admit when they are wrong? Don't worry about it, be her friend and leave things at that, stop stressing over something you already know the end result too.
To be honest, depending on how much water is in her chart ... it will be like you fell into the land of the emotionally disfunctional. You have a hell of a lot of fire and air in your chart like myself. As a result, they just don't seem to make sense.
I met this very nice Cancer girl a few months ago. She was a bit weird but seemed genuine and interesting. She invited me to her birthday party with her close friends. OMG the DRAMA!
She was having mood swings all over the place. Crying. I had a heart to heart with her to get to the bottom of what do you really want, as all answers lie there. Of course, being a Libra I was trying to cheer her up, bought her drinks (which none of her cheap ass good friends did which outraged me!) I ended up having to have a heart to heart with her about why she was denying her own happiness by sinking herself into situations that were drama ridden and which she knows won't bring her any happiness ... (which none of her good friends did. they just kind of let her explode everywhere. they were too absorbed in their own emotional dramas up the ying yang too.)
It was like I fell into the world where everyone was just unglued. They were high on teenage like angst yet were in their thirties. I was so freaked out by all the drama and tears I had to go over to the Aries and cuddle with him. I needed something/someone normal.
So I basically spent $ 120-140 on drinks, food, a cab for this girl I hardly know. I had to sort through everyone's emotional dramas, get them to a sense of peace about themselves. Be the free live entertainment to lighten the mood, because I was the only lively funloving person in the group who had their shit together, .... and what do I get the next day ... an email blaming me for buying her too many drinks and how she should talk about her lover and his girlfriend, who were the cause of all the distress because of course they had to be there and of course he left with his fiance, to anyone but her friend who ignored her all night and was seriously relived that someone else was in the midst of trying to straighten out her life.
and this has been my experience with almost all cancers I have know.
I actually had one suggest I get pregnant on purpose to make my ex commit because she did that and it worked for her. Her now ex use to beat her.
sorry for all the grammar mistakes there. one day I shall proof read. this day shall not be today!
But it seems like common sense takes a backseat to emotional need. They are lovely people when they aren't using emotion as a tool to get what they want. It makes me scratch my head. I just don't get it.
My experience seems to indicate cancer women willingly and knowingly engage in self-destructive behaviour then cry foul. I get it in the it is a distraction from the reality of life sort of way but just figure fun is funner.
I think you problem Cooks is ... she likes you. My hunch is it is a problem for both of you.
People take this sensititve shit way too seriously. I never cry in public and almost never tell my problems to anyone.i tend to go in my shell and deal with myself alone. I think some might be fetishsising the whole sensitive and making it something bigger than it actually is. Besides, just having a cancer sun only represents a fraction of a person, there are other planets to take into account.
btw way I have a piesces moon and Mars in Piesces (emotional wreck in theroy), but i'm none of what has been described so far. And you also have to take into account maturity and life expereince, which are even more important than just astrology.
I just found out that my moon is in Gemini! Thanks Proverbs....but I really dont have a clue what that means...Does it mean I'm part Gemini? Wouldn't that make me even crazier than Cancers already are— I mean I am very emotional...VERY but not sure how that equates with the Gemini side.
actually it would probably make you less "crazy" because gemini is an air sign and you would handle your emotions in a logical and intellectual way rather than as moody like a typical cancer. You would probably be better at analyzing your emotions rather than being overwhelmed by them.
"Also if you, yourself, aren't that in touch with your emotions you WILL NEVER understand Cancer women. Alot of men find that Cancer women are too emotional, ovely sensitive or dramatic.

-very true HG!!! and this is why those aqua men are dang attracted to us 😉
cancer women are emotional, that's true. Me, I always do and say what is on my mind, because that's how I felt like!!! Otherwise, I forget or just let go of what's bothering me! At the same time, I keep my deepest feelings to myself and let noone in. That's a golden rule, although I have very many friends. So, if you want to conquer a cancer women, express yourself and tell her how much you care!!!
I am emotional as well...but I think that most people would not describe me that way. My friends tell me I can seem cold or detached at times. I think that may be because I try to feel out a situation before I react to it or let my true feelings be known. I FEEL like I wear my heart on my sleeve...but people around me tell me otherwise. I am trying to be more aware of how others see me-and be more clear with what I feel-or want.
