My mom is a Cancer. In April (2014) I met my Aries boyfriend (I'm a Leo, 17, aged 16 at the time) and we became official on May 2nd, 2014. She accepted him at first, but once she started to forbid me to see him less and less, me and my lover got mad and out of ignorance to how sensitive she was under that tough shell of hers, we called (mostly he) her names. She got extremely upset and I always thought, "Why can't she just brush off words like me? She doesn't act like she gets offended." I will admit him and I had sex, and I was the one to enforce that, not him. So that led to her forcing us to break up and she took away my cell phone and computer. This war between us raged on and is in fact still going on. It got to the point where she disowned me and sent me to live with my father to CA from NC. A whopping 3,000 miles away from my love. The only way he and I still talk is because my 3DS has an Internet function, so we've emailed each other every day. My boyfriend and I love each other so much, it's impossible to explain with words, and I have fought so hard to keep him. He is truly my one and only, my second half, and my everything. But in order to be with him, I'd have to give up my family (most of them at least) and once my mom finds out, she'll be devastated. She projects her fears onto him, and thus believes he's some kind of evil person, but she never talked to him about how she felt, and that is why I want to ask everyone on how I can get her to accept him again.
Tl;dr : We've hurt my mom's feelings, and we want her to change her opinion about us. How do we do this?
My mom is a Cancer, and long story short, I found a boyfriend (he's Aries, I'm Leo) and eventually she made us see each other less and less and we got mad, called her things, broke some of her rules (the biggest one was having sex), and we all got into a war. I'm from the east coast and she sent me 3,000 miles to the west coast. I'm still secretly seeing him after she forced us to break up, and I do have plans to move in with him, as he is my second half, my soulmate, truly my everything. But once I do go back to him, I want this war to end, and change her view on him. He has total respect for me, but everything about him is viewed the opposite by my mother. I just want to know, how can I make things right again so she can eventually see her first grandchild one day?

You hurt her feelings but the only reason you want to reconnect with her is to get her to accept your disrespectful little fuck of a boyfriend?
Astrology has nothing to do with this.
You're selfish. That kid's not going to be there the rest of (most of) your life. Your mom, however, will. It doesn't matter how upset my parents might make me occasionally, even when I was your age I would never ever ever call them names, not even in my mind and most certainly would kick any guy out for doing what yours did, so hard, he'd end up frying somewhere up in the atmosphere.
Yeah, you've crossed a cancer mother. WRONG choice! You need to go beg for your own forgiveness first and abide by her rules and show her how much of a responsible person you can be. After several months of this, you can maybe open up a dialogue about him.
She probably has his number (we have this thing called jerk radar sometimes it works great, other times they jam our signal) and probably tried to tell you numerous times but you're a block head and ignored it because "you're so in love". Darling you better just walk around with an entire roll of Charmin in your pants because that fall is going to really hurt.
If you are willing to drop your family who will ALWAYS be there for you for fair weather users then it's YOU not your mother or your family.
Please go stare in the mirror and talk some sense in yourself.
First off..you run your mouth about love but can't even grasp basic respect for your mother. This guy of yours calls her names and you just giggle and go along with it? I get it, you're young, hormones etc.
What are you father's views in this?
Look, I have issues with my mother also but that's between me and her. For me it's a huge red flag if any boyfriend of mine disrespects her. It would make me rethink the relationship simply because you marry into a family and not just the person. Even if things between me and her are bad, it's not up for them to get involved.
On the other hand, she is the adult here while you are still the kids. Teenagers are difficult beings and you cannot lash as a parent - the bit about disowning you is overreactive. But it's important to understand where she comes from.
My father hated the boyfriend I had when I was your age and in time it was for a good reason. But he understood I needed to hit my head from the ceiling to get it so he let me be. I called him humbly the day we broke up expecting him to gloat over the fact he was right. He was really sad I was sad. He showed me kindness when I expected him to completely be done with me.
Point is, you can keep being with this boy but ammends need to be done in time. If this relationship bring out good things in your life then you can slowly sure her the benefits and she will come round. Prior to that, it would be a good idea to turn your attention into mending your fences with this woman and let the relationship fall into the background.
Has your boyfriend even apologized to her?
