First of All... Being a Virgo & all I'm not biased in any way, but I have noticed most pisces and cancer men trying to come across as very fiery and primarly interested in fire sign women, especially when they are young. They tend to avoid other water sign women for relationships, which to me seems odd as Ive read about the deep watery connections between two water signs.

Come to think of it now, I have known 7 pisces women in my life and only 1 was dating a water sign (another pisces) but they both had fire moons. The other 6 had earth or air partners and I have known many more water sign men, most of them partner up with fire sign women, except for Scorpio men, they generally partner up Aries, Libra, Aquarius or Gemini women. They always seemed repulsed by other water sign women.

I'd like to hear why, Ive always thought elements of the same would be a natural flow, especially as I see lots of fire-fire and air-air couples. The earth signs I know are all over the place in terms of partners signs.

Any insight?

Another thing Ive seen is water males act all fiery for fire sign women (extraverted, outgoing, perhaps brash, exciting, dramatic, sometimes loud) and these women aren't all that interested and then maybe they get together at which point the water sign becomes all watery in emotions (which other water sign and earth sign women genuinely like) but it repels the fire or air woman and then the cancer or pisces male gets labeled a stalker at which point they may actually turn into one. This very same behavior would be attractive to many water sign women (and earth ones too) as they would feel safe to emotionally connect.
Whats with this repeat scenario I see all around me?

I wouldn't avoid, some of us aren't attracted to the Watery women.
What is it that you find unattractive about water sign women?

Nothing I'm attracted to Leo women. Ask @Koniucha she'll tell ya.

Oh I'm Sure... I think pisces and leo works very well together...


Btw, my father is a pisces married to a saggitarius, so I'm not saying one cant date outside of element

I find myself enjoying the personalities of fire and air sign men more and don't feel like I'm being weighed down with them. I haven't been attracted to any earth signs as far as I'm aware.

I see many water signs dating fire and air, actually. Perhaps they're actually just naturally attracted to those elements.
Yes, I hear you.. I'm rarely attracted to other earth sign men and that is usually mutual.

@CocoKat - hahahahaha ... Yeah, it's funny because when young, I wasn't really into astrology. So a lot of it was instinct.

The only Fire sign I ever dated was Leo. But it always seemed to be summer romances when on long vacations 😛. They are fun.

My PISCES sister also dated Leo's but ended in trouble. Her deepest relationship: Scorpio and they broke up only because he had to move away.
She is dating a Cancer male as well right now. Another Water/water!! They get along very well as well.
I would think 2 water signs would have a very slim chance of divorce.

I'm weird I guess. I've had better progress with fire signs. I know where I stand. Water and Earth not so much.


Interesting viewpoint... I always think of cardinal signs as very quick to move forward and fall in love.. that would make sense why the aries-cancer dynamic is common.

I always have had a lot of cancers around me (my desc and 7th house cusp) so Ive had good opportunity to witness the mating rites here.. Also, where I live men prefer masculine signed women more, they tend to be more forward I guess. Being a shy virgo was never exciting when I was younger...haha.

The following is an overall ranking from most common to least common marriages with Cancer women:

Scorpio
Leo
Taurus
Pisces (same marriage rate as Libra)
Libra
Cancer
Virgo
Sagittarius
Gemini
Aquarius
Aries
Capricorn




The Castille study found the highest rates of marriage between Cancer women and Cancer men, but the lowest rate in France is, surprisingly, between Cancer women and Pisces men. The following is an overall ranking from most common to least common marriages with Cancer women (* indicates that the result is statistically significant – in other words, the effect is very large):

Cancer*
Taurus*
Aquarius
Capricorn
Virgo
Leo
Sagittarius
Gemini
Aries
Scorpio
Libra
Pisces*

I was looking for this a while back. Thanks!

Haha totally! They're not any easier though. I doubt I'll date a fish or ram again. But then again I'm a total block head. 😆


Fire signs at least dump you before fucking someone else. Props on that. Majority anyway. 🙂

Aahhhh.

Most of the fire sign women I know just take off when they cant take the deep waters anymore.. in a trailblaze. When I was younger, I was left on more than one occasion tending to a few wounded hearts, which was sad for me because these watery boys wouldn't give me the time of day as I wasn't flamboyant enough in makeup, hair or dress. It wasn't until I hit 30 that cancer men started to really take notice.

In my experience... I would have to agree with you. The connection is deep, the understanding is plentiful, both parties just flow and get each other easily, they both get really creative under the sheets lol... I don't know what to say, I LOVE the water/water connection 😄

But to be fair... I have to say that connection equated Taurus for me as well.

My progressed sun is in scorpio so I understand the water-water connection however NOTHING beats the opposition to sun or ascendant in regards to fatal attraction, its like your other half.

I don't avoid water signs, but i also like fire signs because of my venus and my moon,dated aries woman once, was the most alive relationship i ever had,might not have been such a deep connection as with pisces or a scorp, but it was more alive, more things to do,more challenges, more new things, the things my moon needs,so yeah, i also love fire, now dating aries girl,so far seems reaal good! 😄

@CocoKat - YES... Opposite can definitely feel like your other half / fatal attraction. It's beyond intense. I've experienced it.

But, with Aries (my Asc. opposite) I only felt that it was one-sided. I never felt more than friendship and understanding - we have the same type of energy sometimes.

So... Are you saying you connect more to your progressed chart?
My feel the same as you initially with Cancer (sign opp. my asc.) sign being on my 7th house cusp (desc), usually they are insanely attracted to me, then the attraction becomes more balanced after time in relationship/friendship etc. and mutually deep. My Saturn in cancer 7th house also.

I do very much connect to my progressed chart, as equally as my natal and I always find relationship connections in progressed charts that couldn't be explained other ways.

You seem to like the challenge and strength of a good fire sign woman (aries).

Things starting to add up here.


I want to add, I as a virgo find water sign men who are IN TOUCH with their water (not projecting it) extremely masculine and strong. I wonder if maybe the inability to be themselves... a young sensitive, watery male has them projecting onto fiery women the qualities they find most attractive as they are rejecting their own innate watery qualities and have not integrated them yet.

Yes, Ive also seen a lot of aries female, cancer male relationships ... usually ending in heartbreak for the cancer (from what Ive witnessed).

Because they're weak, sensitive types and prefer to be controlled by a strong woman vs being the man and leading a woman. Personally, I could never date a Pisces man, I find them too insecure and controlling when their insecurity comes out.
You seem to not like the lack strength you see reflected in water sign men.

I dont have a problem with it, I just wanted to emphasize something. Water men tend to be more sensitive and many times they are much quieter and shy, so it makes sense that they would like a woman that takes charge and assumes that role.

You're so wrong!

I've seen more stable Scorpios and cancer's then Virgos!

Sure they can be a bit passive

But theyre men

Whatever, you have a personal thing against Virgos. In my experience all water sign men I have met, minus a Pisces, have been quite shy, passive and emotional. It's no wonder to me why they go for the loud, bossy, brash types. Water sign women tend to do the same thing too...at least from my observations.

I agree with this. I do think when they evolve and mature and integrate their water, they can be very masculine and balanced with their sensitive nature which is incredibly attractive and attracting. When they are young they tend to go for the loud, bossy, brash types.. but Ive seen it change as they grow older they tend to be attracted to naturally confident partners that are less flashy, loud & brash, more grounded perhaps intellectual (earth/air).

Lets talk about VIRGOS and their fascination with ARIES, GEMINI and AQUA

what's that all about
Idk about Gemini but Aries and Aqua are karmic/quincunx matches to Virgo Suns.

Be it sun signs or placements in charts, I vibe really well with Aqua/Aries.

Gemini men? No, just no. Extremely unstable. It's funny too since they're in my marriage house. I'll pass.

Not THIS water sign man 😉

I think with the water signs, they are all so self-protective and cautious that it takes a long time for things to get started and the air/fire signs will often swoop in and try to get things started much faster.

As a cancerian (myself), I like taking care of people around me. If I meet watery-men, we will taking care of each other. There's no extreme up and down. It's like having a relationship with myself. Comfortable. But I feel like "something" missing.......... a bit boring.

That's why I prefer with fire sign. BUT water with water, the best match so far I know. Bcoz they were born to understand each other.

I also think many loud, fiery women appear easy to emotionally manipulate and water sign are good at manipulating emotions but what it actually does is piss the fire sign off as they generally are aware its happening and cause disrespect for the water sign. I think this is the cause of the fire sign disappearing in a trailblaze as they are very direct.
My Pisces ex just tried this same thing. I have no time for emotional manipulation and games, be straight or be gone!

the significant other has to accommodate your houses. if you're a 7th houser, it's best you get with a 7th houser or libra dominant. Same with 12th, pisces and so on.....

so it might be that you find some peeps boring as hell, but you get them very very well, like vibe good but they do nothing for you romantically.

Yes, the games are embarrassingly obvious, especially when water boys watch too much television or spend too much time online reading about crazy women on websites and they expect your fire drama, so they do crappy things to get you angry and start something, so they feel you care. Its so obvious.. haha.

And they are the ones left crying when they realized that crap doesn't work in the real world.

That's exactly what's happened in the end.

He said he wants me back as he loves and misses me and the connection we had. So I told him, "if that's what you want then you need to show me that you care and show me some different behaviour"

Nothing has changed, so we're not together and he only has himself to blame.
Ive seen this scenario on repeat about a dozen times or more.. haha. Whats really frustrating is the water male, usually an oversensitive pisces or cancer who tries to project the little fire they have in their chart as their personality doesn't actually get why his relationships don't work out and keeps on trying with the next shining fire sign instead of owning his water. Once he own his water, usually later in life his relationships actually work out, usually at that time he isn't looking for a fire sign female, just a female he is compatable with, the irony is that's when a lot of fire sign women are more attracted to him, because he owns who he is (it still doesn't mean that water doesn't put fire out).
