What is your moon?

Posted by Kodak375
well if your moon is in cancer that could explain a bit of why it was so opposed. Cancer moon aries moon are difficult to pair

It's not about him being a Cancer. Any relationship that has you having anxiety, losing weight (or gaining) from stress, constant fighting, etc. is pure toxic. That would describe my ex husband, and he's a Taurus. Toxic people can be found in all signs.
As a Cancer, I adore mature Scorpios, for friends and more. The only ones who have been ick are the ones who are immature or seriously fucked up.

This thread is not as controversial as you think.
I'm not a fan of this combo, but I think its a different matter for the cancer ladies.

I have a feeling it is his Aries moon that is causing some of the problems. We need some straight answers out of you no one sided here.
Fights between Scorpio Cancer male can get ugly they are emotional fights they can be intense because feelings and emotions are involved. The reason why you never had fights with your other boyfriends is they didn't understand you on and emotional level a Cancer will not back off neither will you with your other BFs they probably just walked away to end the fight. You Scorpio's hold onto anger you stew on it with a Cancer we get over it not a Scorpio woman.
There is a power struggle in a Scorpio Cancer relationship, you can't tell me you don't like control, I have a Taurus moon I like control.
Silent treatment you probably do it just as much as he does, hmm getting offended in my experience Scorpio's get offended easier than a Cancer man. Push pull Scorpios and Cancers do it, yes I'm guilty of doing it. The Scorpio girl I know has anxiety problems she gets anxious I'm pretty sure its common in Scorpio women. Scorpios will use emotional manipulation I imagine you used it too.

I am still trying to figure out why any Cancer would believe that Scorpio is a healthy choice as a soul mate.
This story is proof positive about one bringing out the worst side of the other, and vice versa.
At least when Pisceans and Cancers disagree, the defensive behavior is hardly seen in BOTH parties simultaneously and for extended amounts of time.
This crap about "I'm right, and you are wrong" being shouted by a Scorpio at a Cancer, and vice versa will only end in total destruction.
...Which is exactly why I scratch my head in wonder at the Cancers around here who tout this match so often.
Oh well, happiness is evidently not meant for everyone.

Thank you so much for sharing that. I tried to deny that it was a very toxic relationship over and over again in my head because it was so beautiful in the beginning. He truly did emulate the man I had always wanted. When I finally decided I could no longer do it-it was immediate relief. I didn't realize how much joy the relationship was sucking out of my life. I tried to hold on to all his wonderful qualities and making excuses for why I shouldn't leave. It still kind of stings a bit to think about it! I failed to realize just how selfish he was and I put up with way too much. I don't deserve that and it's almost embarrassing to think about how much of myself I gave to him.
But I know that I deserve the very best and I can make a man very happy. It's such a shame that people take advantage of that sometimes.click to expand

Scorpio woman Cancer man rough pairing two emotional beings together pretty sure you have never had a man that could affect you emotionally as he could. As a Cancer guy we can understand a Scorpio woman pretty well I bet he knew what you were thinking without you saying anything. Scorpios u feel vulnerable around Cancer's because we under stand you. Scorpios love keep things hidden, Cancer's can be the human lie detectors I imagine you had troubles hiding things from him. The mask you Scorpios wear is pretty invisible around a Cancer.
I have an idea how your relationship was its too hard to explain a Scorp Cancer pairing, its probably best you two walk away and have some separation. You will never forget him and he will never forget you. He might have been scared himself if he's never had a woman that understood him. Scorpio's do like to know about people's dirty little secrets. Scorpio women are pretty emotionally intense. The first start of the relationship you were not as intense then the intensity ramped up. Cancer men are no were near emotionally intense as a Scorpio woman.
The Scorpio woman I'm friends with has the same problems with me I don't think she's ever been with a guy that understands her so well. It scares her that she loses control around me, Scorpios hate feeling vulnerable you feel vulnerable around Cancer men.

At least with our relationship, we never had that you're right and you're wrong mentality.The only experience I had of doing that is with my Aries father. But I love him to death so I just go along with his opinions and ideas lol.
Or relationship issues stemmed mostly from his attitude and me feeling like I was constantly walking on eggshells. Eventually he took my devotion for granted and just did the very minimal when I gave the most.
Hmmm, sounds like you were with a Camp II Cancer.
They are the absolute worst to deal with during a squabble, second only to Leos.click to expand

And Pisces/Cancer fights are just a huge bunch of passive aggressive stunts that dissolve into Pisces having grand emo drama and Cancer vindictively being mean, and rather enjoying it at that point.....but that's just based on an old school friend and I, and how I'm no longer going to even bother with his deadbeat, depressing self.
Hehehe, it's funny how you apply grand generalized statements to certain signs, while making a ton of excuses for others.
Please, go on.click to expand

Like you were doing? Point made, or do I need to elaborate?
Nah, just admit you play favorites and make excuses for certain signs, and simultaneously admit you damn other signs and make no excuses for them.click to expand

Stihl, don't give her any bullshit about Cancers letting go of stuff fast! This coming from the guy who still obsesses over the Scorpio gal who is dating a Gem? How long have you been posting about her? Besides, I can hold a grudge for years, and I have, so I know first hand that Cancers do NOT let things go easily.
Posted by LadyCalamity
So many emotions, silent treatment,getting offended easily (HIM) pushing and pulling, neglect, lots of selfishness on his part-and it was taking a huge toll on me.
constant anxiety, felt emotionally manipulated and abused and I was on edge all the time about the relationship.I gave so much...only to gain nothing.
He was so wonderful in the beginning and all I could ever dream of. It is so disappointing that it turned out to be a total nightmare.
Any personal experiences?


Posted by Infinite8Posted by Kodak375
Shes sounds like shes very self aware with compassion, yeah you just got a bad apple. You'll see a lot of that, signs dont dictate mentality and actions. Just influences with certain patterns.
+1 on this and on MoonArtists comments.
OP: don't give up on water signs. Don't let one man represent all. That would be a big mistake on your part.
When I was single I attracted a lot of Cancer men and I would have to say that about 95% of them were massive red flags for me. Overly emotional (uncontrolled), whiny, overly dramatic and clingy. I've met a few Pisces like this as well. Anyway, I could have easily closed the door but didn't want to judge so harshly. And I'm so glad I didn't because my husband is a Cancer male and he is an absolute perfection of a man. Yes, we do have our occasional disagreements but, it would be ridiculous to even mention in comparison to how wonderful he is and how much of a dedicated and loyal husband he has been to me. No man compares to him in my eyes. He is always there for me, romantic, inspiring... The list goes on and on. I would have had NONE if this, had I made a decision long ago to close the door on ALL Cancer men.
Don't sell yourself short. Lose the fear.
Just make sure that you find someone that flows better with your energy. 🙂click to expand

Pretty much had the same experience, and we weren't even dating! He was sooo sweet when I first met him, offered to be my best friend, buy me a promise ring, etc. Then it changed. VERY Manipulative. I always felt angry/unworthy/sad. I'm currently in the middle of my third "silent treatment" from this guy. Usually last two months. It's definitely made me more wary of Cancers. But it's probably just the less evolved ones.

I'm a June Cancer my B-day is the 24th so I have Gemini traits I'm realizing it now spending time with my buddy who is a July 5th Cancer. He is different from being around him can be depressing at times the other day he was talking about people he hates. I rarely hate people I usually don't hold grudges I'm friendly with everybody.
Perhaps that's just a coincidence? In the 12 yrs that I have been with my husband, I have NEVER seen him depressed! Sad - yes. Depressed - no.
He is a July 11, 2nd Decan Cancer as I also find SF's description of the 2nd Decan completely inaccurate when describing my husband.click to expand

A sun scorpio, moon leo is some intense energy. I do like Scorps but you cats can be harsh and vindictive. Nobody doubts my motives like a Scorpio woman does and more often than not it's "just her imagination, running away..." Well, I can annoying as fuck myself. I just gotta be honest. I've never known a Scorpio woman that didn't create drama and lots of it.

Posted by Este8
I think what it comes down to is control. I find Scorpios very controlling at their worst. Us Cancers at our worst are moody, contradictory, self-pitying and yes emotionally manipulating. But nobody "gets you back" like a Scorp.

Posted by LadyCalamity
I don't understand why people put all Scorpios in this category. I'm not controlling and none of my exes would ever say I liked drama or started it. As far as a leo moon.... I see zero of that. I would probably fit best in a cancer moon for sure. I don't know if it's because I'm right on the cusp or what. The Scorpio woman I work with is pretty vindictive and mean. She picks out things all the time it's like she's looking for something to create drama about. Everything is super blown out of proportion with her. My father's mom is is a Scorpio too and my dad said she's flat out malicious and hateful. I work with one cancer female and I love her. We get along very well ad she's says she's not a people person so it's funny. She gets really moody all the time though, but she's really just a big sweetheart and we have the greatest time together.

Heard some interesting stuff about a Scorpio woman I know of but my friend knows her more than I do. What I was told confirms what I've experienced and yes it seems Scorpio women like drama, they like control. This might be a coincidence but it seems like Scorpio women like weak men ones that they can control. The one I'm close to her BF is weak the one my friend is telling about her BF is weak.
What I laughed about is the drama, the one in my life causes drama she causes drama in her BFs life, the other one I just mentioned she causes drama. I'm trying to currently figure out if another woman I know of is a Scorpio I know her to say hi and that's it so I don't know her B day. I had another friend tell me about her she has all the Scorpio traits and coincidently she loves drama too.
Wrong. All Scorpio woman do not like drama and control. Same thing as saying all Cancers are big whiney babies. You don't like to hear that, do you?click to expand

My cancer/ Scorpio experience was absolutely TERRIBLE and I don't think that I could ever bring myself to date a Cancer man ever again...

I'd like to step out and say, there are two different types of crabs. You got the nice, sweet, funny, slightly reserved when sad or upset crab, and then you got the moody, selfish, funny, lash out when mad or sad crab.
Learn to spot which one you have and your good to go. The only thing they share is the fact that they are both very emotional and you can very easily hurt their feelings. They're reaction when hurt is the difference.

Id like to hear his perspective of things, if he was being unresponsive this is usually a sign of a disagreement that wasnt fully solved in the past. I didnt read every post on here, but Ive never met a cancer moody towards his partner for no reason. Not saying you were wrong, but usually people post their faults in the relationship too.

buying your story at all. First you say...

Posted by LadyCalamity
Well he would just tell me, "That's just the way I am, I can't change overnight."
I have no idea what he would say if someone else were to ask him about the relationship. It wasn't really that he was moody towards me per say, it was just a moodiness in general.click to expand
So which one was it? He was moody and horrible but not to you? I don't think you're fooling anyone with your "I'm so different, light and fun and all other Scorpios are dark and I can't relate to them at all."
It sounds like you didn't like the way your Cancer bf was and did a lot of complaining and trying to change him and when he resisted, it caused you anxiety and stress. I bet it pissed you off he wouldn't do and act the way you wanted him to. You're actually very typical.

My cancer/ Scorpio experience was absolutely TERRIBLE and I don't think that I could ever bring myself to date a Cancer man ever again (he was also an Aries moon). I thought we were supposed to be compatible but I have never had more problems in a relationship as I did in the four months I was with this guy.

TELL ME THAT'S NOT NORMAL OF CANCERS. Everyone has all these amazing stories...and I'm like, "well poop, guys..."
He was so wonderful in the beginning and all I could ever dream of. It is so disappointing that it turned out to be a total nightmare.
Is this Cancer/Scorpio talk just all fluff? I thought it was a match made in heaven, haha. I HARDLY ever fought with my previous exes and in this relationship, it's all we ever did. AND MAN DO THEY HOLD ON TO ANGER.
I'm so much happier....but it sucks when you had high hopes. I'll never go back to that again EVER. At age 24, he still has tons of growing up to do. I have no idea why I held on to the relationship, good grief.
Any personal experiences?
