1. What do you think is synonymous with your zodiac sign? For example, when people see "Cancer", they think what?

2. What about your zodiac sign can make you especially dangerous?

3. Is life worth living without having your own family/children? If so, what replaces family/children?

4. Are you naturally able to open up to others on an emotional level? If you are, what do you attribute that to? Your natural upbringing? (for example, some parents encourage their children to be expressive while stricter parents encourage theirs to be more restrained/disciplined), or your developed emotional intelligence?

The moon. They think ..moon light ..light ..sensitivity. Compassion nurturing kindness...moods ..

I don't think we are especially dangerous.

Yes. Nothing replaces anything. Just as nothing will replace the things I would sacrifice to have them. No one thing replaces the other. You have to accept that.

No. And then yes. I can understand..and make myself understood. I feel others are not able to interpret cancer enough for us to open up. When we do open up it's possibly when we are most ....incomprehensible? And thus we seem closed. We're open. You just don't understand or we don't think or feel what you think or what you think we should or what people usually would etc.

My most prized possession will be something different tomorrow. And maybe something different later. Right now it's music in terms of collection and instruments. Later it could be ....a photograph. Something I drew. The emotion is powerful in the moment.

Maybe home is the constant?

Sorry if that seems dry ..or trying to be elusive.
Do you collect vinyl records? ?

1. Emotional. Homey. Nurturing.

2. I think an immature Cancer when feeling slighted or hurt can become very selfish and manipulative. They may have inflated expectations for the people they love and the less these expectations are met the more selfish and manipulative they may become.

3. I think that is relative to an individual, more nurture than nature. Being a wife and mother was incredibly important to me and I took it very seriously. I think that if that hadn't happened for me, though that life would have still been worth living and I would have found something else to be passionate about.

4. No, not typically. On rare occasions someone will illicit an immediate feeling of comfort and I will find myself more open with them than others. If I don't feel that immediate comfort I may never completely open up.

5. Things that I have written that are meaningful to me.

5. What is your most prized possession and why?



1. Emotional. Homebody. Difficult. Funny. Family oriented. Cooks. Boob lover

2. Heh! We are far too people smart and manipulative. Can be used for good, but much more fun to use for evil.

3. Family? Oh heavens no! I need my family very very much. Relationships however, meh. They are not that important to me, but can't speak for all crabs.

4. Nope. Everyone gets to see a different side to my crabbiness which I deem fit for them to know. Only a romantic partner gets to experience how far down the rabbit hole goes. Some of it is attributed to my Cancer qualities, but most of it is because people just suck in general.

5. My funshine bear. If a news report came on saying a gamma ray blast from the sun is going to nuke the Earth, I'll be ok so long as I have my Funshine bear. The care bear is 31 years old. Given to me by my late father when I still believed in Santa Claus when I was 8.

1. A pleasant first impression.

2. Prone to commit crimes of passion.

3. Without family, no. Without kids, yes.

4. Yes. Best place to hide is in front of everyone's eyes.

5. My home. It's my key to inner peace.

Can you elaborate on this?

I'm confused because you're saying that, yes, you can naturally open up to people on a deep, emotional level, but you're agenda is...to hide in plain sight?

Isn't that...deceitful?

Ohhh, you know what, I can see that because my brother became that way recently. He's the middle child in my family and he's extremely reluctant to get involved in birthday or Christmas parties more than ever now. He won't do it unless we do it at a place or at a time convenient for him, especially now that he lives further away and works at strange hours.

So you'd say emotional manipulation is what could make a Cancer dangerous. Do you think it takes one to be aware of their ability to be emotionally manipulative, or could it be that they do it so long without realizing it and it becomes their nature?

How would you react if you were to lose your most prized possession? Would you become obsessed about it whereabouts? would its disappearance or noticeable absence completely dampen your mood, knowing that it's closely linked to your late father? would it ruin your day, week, or month entirely? I ask because even the littlelist things in life (whether it be a funshine bear or something else) can have the ability to evoke both strong emotions and memories. And fittingly enough, Cancers (at least most) are strongly tied to both emotion and memories.

(personal replies, not according to my star sign reads)

1. What do you think is synonymous with your zodiac sign? For example, when people see "Cancer", they think what?

I think the first thought that comes to mind to people is either "clingy, needs effort" or "good and caring". No half terms.

2. What about your zodiac sign can make you especially dangerous?

The fact that I keep things inside before exploding. (Not so common now that I'm growing up, only in situations of passive aggressive attitudes from others). That I remember things very well and I could use facts against the person, to humiliate and expose them. Dangerous when plans a revenge, but it's uncommon to put my mind into taking revenge.

3. Is life worth living without having your own family/children?

I've detached myself completely from my family. I'm not a fan of families born without a solid base, just because it's cool to have kids. My view of a family is quite unconventional and I'll have 2 kids by surrogacy, being a single father.

If so, what replaces family/children? Learning to appreciate loneliness, time alone. Be your own best friend. Work on yourself. Career too, but not too much - it's volatile.

4. Are you naturally able to open up to others on an emotional level?

I'm slightly emotionally unavailable, but I could see myself opening up to others and give the best of me. Maybe not in London, where everyone is detached and human interactions are too impersonal.

If you are, what do you attribute that to? Your natural upbringing?

Replying the other way around. I might be not because it's the city that I live in that doesn't allow it. I've also had terrible childhood traumas. Yes, I've had a detached/cold mother. But I wouldn't associate my personality to that, because with kids I can be super caring and loving.

5. What is your most prized possession and why?

My achievements that proved wrong many toxic people. Because the best way to motivate me is to tell me I can't do something, or that I'm shit at something, or that I'll never achieve something. I'll do whatever is in my power to prove them wrong.

Material possession: idk
A lot of substance here.

The overarching theme in this post seems to be memory and the pain it elicits.

"People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel" is something that the late Maya Angelou once said before passing. I think it's appropriate because it captures the essence of your experiences and how you reacted to them over time: you now intending to be a single father for instance after not having a mother figure, you achieving things people said you wouldn't be able to at one point or another, and you exposing certain people for their past behaviors or mistakes when provoked enough. It's interesting because you mention "emotional unavailability" as one of your traits, but yet your emotional nature or sensitivity seems to be reflected in the way you respond to these challenges: this person made be feel this way, so I reacted this way or now approach life differently.

While you could very well argue that that's the nature of many people and how they respond to life, its curveballs, and difficult circumstances, I'd say there's a good amount of people who either choose to not let go or just can't...simply because of the way a particular person made them feeI or a traumatic experience. Your (hidden) emotional nature has everything to do with memories and the strong feelings tied to them (especially the most dark and vivid ones), regardless of whether or not you see yourself as "emotionally unavailable."

So that brings me to my next question: at what point do you feel like someone can finally "let go" of an unpleasant memory of an individual, which causes them to feel a certain way or hide their emotional nature? Is it something you hope to do one day or another, or do you say "these memories drive me to be who I am today and who I could be tomorrow. So I'll keep them, even if they hurt."

ANSWERING since I am a "water" sign, but Piscean.

1. What do you think is synonymous with your zodiac sign? For example, when people see "Pisces", they think what? When I walk, I walk as if I'm "royalty"

2. What about your zodiac sign can make you especially dangerous? Don't piss me off "So you've pissed your Pisces off, sucks to be you today." Another one I like is, "If a Pisces is giving you the silent treatment, you can be sure you've earned it."

3. Is life worth living without having your own family/children? If so, what replaces family/children? I cherish my family, but am distant. I only care for my mother and youngest son. Whatever my mother needs I TRY to help her out. If I date a man with, he would have to have no more than one child. I cannot have two children compete with my son; as he's an only child.

4. Are you naturally able to open up to others on an emotional level? If you are, what do you attribute that to? Your natural upbringing? (for example, some parents encourage their children to be expressive while stricter parents encourage theirs to be more restrained/disciplined), or your developed emotional intelligence? Of course! As Piscean I am told, "You're too deep a person". Duh! I'm Piscean! My parents never encourage me to express my feelings. I learned that from my strong, independent, mother that spoke up for herself. I do the same. I don't take butter from any man; if the relationship isn't working...I bounce! I'm too old for games and I don't do the "cougar thang" anymore! Y'all have to understand it isn't our "intelligence". It's our intuition! It's been told as Pisceans we already read you from top to bottom.

5. What is your most prized possession and why? The bracelet I found about 30 years ago. I went shopping for a dress. I tried it on, and noticed there was a 14k gold bracelet hanging from the dress. I've cherished it since I knew an angel sent that bracelet to me. I still have the bracelet.

Cyber hugs! 🤗

Love,

Eva

5. What is your most prized possession and why?


1. Synonyom: twins, two people in one mind/body. People often think of it as split personality, split mind

2. Mental issues, obsessive thinking

3. Yes. Life, in itself worthwhile living for, if you manage to loose attachments with anything and anyone. (doesn't mean emotionally hollow or cold life/personality)

4. Yes. I feel it's the personality trait that I was born with rather than social conditions. (extroverted people tend to be open about most of their stuff) It's interesting, however, whether my emotional intelligence is still due to my given personality or family values/teachings. I think both.

5. Not available. My boobs. (Kidding)

I hope you didn't mind though, I'm not even a water sign. But I did the questionnaire anyway. 😄

Thank you for your reply and for your time. It’s a very good insight because it gives me a different perspective to my personality. I’m interested in what you might think of my response below - I’ve taken some time to reply to each point. I’ve been speaking English for 2 years so apologies if something might be described poorly.

In a dating/social environment, I think I’m emotionally unavailable. In both situations I have a hard time opening up in a genuine way. I know there’s a block between the person I am (the real me), and the person I’m talking to. To be honest with you, most of the time I pretend. Sometimes I just don’t feel anything*. Generally uninterested and unentertained. And it’s not that I go out with a group of people and sit on a corner, not at all. I can have good times and fun talking to everyone. I could even be the life of a party. It’s just that I don’t feel it as I would like it to.

On the opposite, I do see my sensitivity. When reading the news, when reading a book, when watching a movie (more rare), when having a dream.

Therefore: I think I’m emotionally unavailable to others when it comes to interactions but emotional and sensitive on my own, when I’m alone and doing things that do not involve others.

“This person made be feel this way, so I reacted this way or now approach life differently”, you are absolutely right. That is my philosophy.

When I’ve felt strong feelings that made me feel exposed, I’ve swore to myself that it would be the last time. Either good feelings (showing too much excitement, showing too much happiness) or bad ones (showing too much sadness, showing to care too much about someone who doesn’t correspond, etc). So yes, I’ll keep each memory as a reminder not to repeat the same mistakes. But they don't hurt anymore, I've become apathetic to them, been there, done that. Moved on.

(*I’ve started mindfulness meditation and there is an exercise where I have to note all “feelings” and “thinking” when they occur. To my surprise, “feeling” occurs much less than I thought it’d do and when it does, I repress it.)
click to expand

Oh ok, I think I understand now. So maybe you're not "emotionally unavailable" per se, but you're rather more reserved with how you express yourself to other people you may not fully trust. Meaning, you don't necessarily lean towards one emotional extreme or another, but you're somewhere in between (or at least, you've learned to be that way through meditation). Even still, after everything you've said, I wouldn't go as far as call you "apathetic" or unfeeling - because that's what apathy essentially means - but I'd probably say that you're more reserved or discerning about the people you engage with.

You also mention repressing "feelings" whenever they arise. But yet, you insist that you've somehow found it within yourself to "move on" from past experiences. It's interesting because, usually an emotionally guarded person is indicative of someone who's fearful of being bruised again, simply because their ties to the past still exist. And given your last two posts, I'd say that you do sound very much emotionally guarded or reserved. I think the way you define "moving on" is slightly different from the way that I've come to define it, and that's probably why you feel "disinterested" during some (not all) social or dating interactions: from what you've said, to you, "moving on" is physically removing yourself from a toxic environment and even removing yourself from someone else's life entirely. But sometimes, I feel like that can leave you with a vague feeling of having found no real resolution or not being able to make peace with someone else and yourself...which to me, is when you actually move on. Only then can you find that security within yourself to open up freely to other people. Wouldn't you say?

How would you react if you were to lose your most prized possession? Would you become obsessed about it whereabouts? would its disappearance or noticeable absence completely dampen your mood, knowing that it's closely linked to your late father? would it ruin your day, week, or month entirely? I ask because even the littlelist things in life (whether it be a funshine bear or something else) can have the ability to evoke both strong emotions and memories. And fittingly enough, Cancers (at least most) are strongly tied to both emotion and memories.



My heart would shatter into a million pieces. It's an understatement to say that my father and I didn't have the best relationship, but as you have pointed out, there is a lot of emotion and memory tied to the bear. What would likely happen isn't much different from any other heart break. I would put a ridiculous amount of energy in getting the bear back, and if gone for good it would leave this large open wound on my heart that would take forever to heal, and leave a giant scar once it did. Eventually accepting the loss and moving on.

Whatever my mother needs I TRY to help her out. If I date a man with, he would have to have no more than one child. I cannot have two children compete with my son; as he's an only child.

4. Are you naturally able to open up to others on an emotional level? If you are, what do you attribute that to? Your natural upbringing? (for example, some parents encourage their children to be expressive while stricter parents encourage theirs to be more restrained/disciplined), or your developed emotional intelligence? Of course! As Piscean I am told, "You're too deep a person". Duh! I'm Piscean! My parents never encourage me to express my feelings. I learned that from my strong, independent, mother that spoke up for herself. I do the same. I don't take butter from any man; if the relationship isn't working...I bounce! I'm too old for games and I don't do the "cougar thang" anymore! Y'all have to understand it isn't our "intelligence". It's our intuition! It's been told as Pisceans we already read you from top to bottom.

5. What is your most prized possession and why? The bracelet I found about 30 years ago. I went shopping for a dress. I tried it on, and noticed there was a 14k gold bracelet hanging from the dress. I've cherished it since I knew an angel sent that bracelet to me. I still have the bracelet.

Cyber hugs! 🤗

Love,

Eva






Lol! Well thank you for taking the time to respond. I apologize for my brief absence. I do 1-2 responses at a time on these type of boards because I want them to be thoughtful.

Anyways, back to you:

It sounds like you've been able to develop a fairly good self-image over time, and that has allowed you to become the strong, nurturing, independent woman that you are today. But one thing I can't help but wonder is, do you feel like you have any flaws or imperfections? Because I feel like your answers only cast a positive light on you and your personality. And sometimes, acknowledging these things can mean being able truly know yourself and who you are at the core, versus just being satisfied with the public image you portray to others.

3. Yes. Life, in itself worthwhile living for, if you manage to loose attachments with anything and anyone. (doesn't mean emotionally hollow or cold life/personality)

4. Yes. I feel it's the personality trait that I was born with rather than social conditions. (extroverted people tend to be open about most of their stuff) It's interesting, however, whether my emotional intelligence is still due to my given personality or family values/teachings. I think both.

(personal replies, not according to my star sign reads)



(*I’ve started mindfulness meditation and there is an exercise where I have to note all “feelings” and “thinking” when they occur. To my surprise, “feeling” occurs much less than I thought it’d do and when it does, I repress it.)
click to expand

Mindfulness meditation should not be about repressing thoughts/emotions.

The most important thing is that whatever comes up on your mind, be there to observe it and accept fully with no judgement. Any thought and emotion is neither nor or good, we give meanings to words, we label things and then judge and suffer.

Just like a movie, watch everything and embrace any thought or emotion without identyfing yourself with them.

Good luck! It's a beatufil journey 🙂

Hm. Your life is your life. Your journey and your responsibility. It's good to live with others together and love them but not on the cost of giving yourself up, then it would just lead you back to an issue of the ego.

How would you react if you were to lose your most prized possession? Would you become obsessed about it whereabouts? would its disappearance or noticeable absence completely dampen your mood, knowing that it's closely linked to your late father? would it ruin your day, week, or month entirely? I ask because even the littlelist things in life (whether it be a funshine bear or something else) can have the ability to evoke both strong emotions and memories. And fittingly enough, Cancers (at least most) are strongly tied to both emotion and memories.



My heart would shatter into a million pieces. It's an understatement to say that my father and I didn't have the best relationship, but as you have pointed out, there is a lot of emotion and memory tied to the bear. What would likely happen isn't much different from any other heart break. I would put a ridiculous amount of energy in getting the bear back, and if gone for good it would leave this large open wound on my heart that would take forever to heal, and leave a giant scar once it did. Eventually accepting the loss and moving on.

click to expand

Yeah, loss is a terrible (and strange) feeling, so I definitely understand you holding on to something that's reminiscent of that person. People cope differently as well, some better than others. So at least you were able to somewhat recover, albeit not fully.

5. My home. It's my key to inner peace.


I don't know about the "pleasant first impression" because I give off a very dark and intimidating vibe when I first see/interact with people. I'm Cancer-dominant. Cancer-Leo Moon cusp and Cancer Rising, and Moon-dominant.

Wow, it's hard to imagine someone with strong Cancer influences giving off a dark and intimidating vibe. That's usually Scorpio

It's my brows. Maybe if I got them done differently, I would look more like a Cancer Rising, lmao.

I'm half-kidding. People say it's my entire face that gives off the intimidating vibe, especially the eyes, which is super weird because of what you said.

Lol, rude.

Yeah that's pretty weird. You actually look like you'd have a Scorpio placement or two. But I took a peak at your chart (sorry lol) and saw that you have Virgo Mercury and Virgo Venus. Maybe that's what people are sensing. Your intellectual prowess (Mercury is exalted/at home in Virgo)!

"Ewww, why are you stalking me?!"

I'm kidding. Stalking is inevitable on social media/online forums. 🙂

I don't have any Scorpio placements other than Scorpio ruling my 5th House (but it's empty). But I absolutely hate my Virgo Mercury and Venus - I keep overthinking EVERYTHING in social situations especially when it comes to being romantically interested in a guy.
click to expand

Nooo, there are positives to /every/ placement. Just know that 😛

With your Mercury in Virgo, you settle for nothing but the best! So isn't that a good thing?

I imagine you know exactly what you want and how you want it.

1. Emotional. Homey. Nurturing.

2. I think an immature Cancer when feeling slighted or hurt can become very selfish and manipulative. They may have inflated expectations for the people they love and the less these expectations are met the more selfish and manipulative they may become.

3. I think that is relative to an individual, more nurture than nature. Being a wife and mother was incredibly important to me and I took it very seriously. I think that if that hadn't happened for me, though that life would have still been worth living and I would have found something else to be passionate about.

4. No, not typically. On rare occasions someone will illicit an immediate feeling of comfort and I will find myself more open with them than others. If I don't feel that immediate comfort I may never completely open up.

5. Things that I have written that are meaningful to me.


Ohhh, you know what, I can see that because my brother became that way recently. He's the middle child in my family and he's extremely reluctant to get involved in birthday or Christmas parties more than ever now. He won't do it unless we do it at a place or at a time convenient for him, especially now that he lives further away and works at strange hours.

So you'd say emotional manipulation is what could make a Cancer dangerous. Do you think it takes one to be aware of their ability to be emotionally manipulative, or could it be that they do it so long without realizing it and it becomes their nature?

click to expand

In my own experience it took maturity and a lot of soul searching. When I was younger I often had unrealistic expectations that I hadn't even shared with the person who I had the expectations of. I think because we tend to pick up on other peoples emotional cues we expect that people should pick up on ours a lot more often than they do. I never really considered myself manipulative, I always just felt like I was looking out for my own well being. Now I tend to notice it when I start to behave in ways that are destructive to my relationships and I try to be more considerate of the fact that other people have their own feelings and agendas in life. Being careful to accept people as they are with their own limitations and emotions and asking for what I want when it is realistic instead of just expecting others to know has gone a long way for me.

As a Cancer I like when a woman is shy and knows how to keep her composure at all times. I like the kind of woman that shyly looks down when you look at her and she's surprised, rather than the one who gives you a dirty and sexual look. There's time for that later.

Be persistent, kind and honest and he'll understand that you care. Reassure him constantly and let him know things that are usually left unsaid, like that you're not seeing anyone else.. etc

Hope this helps

I think the best approach is to be mindful of how the Cancer male behaves towards you. If he does the whole side-step approach like many crab men do, then you need to be aware for the subtle clues they leave out, but it is actually more simple than it sounds. If the Cancer male exhibits different behavior with you than with everyone else, it is a really good chance he is into you, and just ask him out. However, if both of you are indirect, nothing will ever happen. You two will just continue to be crazy about each other and that is where it will end.
