We go 2 ways:
Silent mode 🤐 or Claws out 🦀

I go silent when I’m mad. And silent Cancers are the most dangerous. 👀 Test a Cancer’s patience and you’ll get distance... or the truth. No in-between. 🙅🏻‍♀️

Which one are you? 🤔

What zodiac sign of men do you see marrying Cancer women most often?

I’m a Taurus woman who just started talking to a cancer man. He’s honestly the sweetest and is one of the best relationships I’ve had in a while. We have only been talking for 4 weeks but he’s already talked about having a family and we basically text everyday (the family thing really freaked me out). Lately I haven’t been communicating as much as I’ve been pretty busy but I found out the other day he thinks I’m about to end this as he thinks I’m being too dry and that my communication has lessened (I didn’t even find out through him I found out through mutual friends) and they said he was very visibly upset. I made more time for him than anyone else and he just fails to see that!!! I sent him a text explaining my side of things but he isn’t replying and I’m quite annoyed he’s being immature about it this. I feel like he got attached too quickly and had too many expectations right from the beginning. Are any of you cancers this way or have been this way???

Idk if it’s a cancer thing, but through out my life I would have phases where I obsess over something. This is the first time where I’m obsessing over someone and for all the wrong reason, she is a family member who simply doesn’t not like me at all, every time where around each other she goes out of her way to make me feel excluded and completely ignored, It’s so confusing to me and I’m always looking for reasons on what might’ve lead to all of this, I obsess over trying to understand her motives, trying to prove her wrong, trying to make her feel as bad as she make me feel, she triggers something in me and I know I’m giving her the power to do so by thinking this much about her. Any advice on how to move on from this, even though I have to see her and interact with her every couple of weeks.

Well it's gonna conjunct my moon & mars and square my sun, Venus, mercury so..

Hi. I'm a July Cancer, and I know this probably isn't just an astrology thing coz I think I'd still be sensitive either way coz sometimes it’s just too much, but I feel like being a July cancer plays a big part too.

The problem is I can't seem to go out normally. Every time I hang out with friends or even just run errands, I end up overthinking every interaction, every little thing I said, and whether I came across the wrong way.
I'm also really awkward. I stutter sometimes, and I'm constantly overthinking how I look in front of other people. Whenever I say something, my brain keeps replaying it over and over, I know looked weird as fuck too.

Then I get home and I just feel this wave of shame. Sometimes I literally end up screaming whenever it randomly pops into my head because I can't stop replaying everything. It's exhausting, and I want to stop feeling like this, I feel like I’m a weirdo and people just tolerate me.

I don’t get proper sleep coz of this, sometimes I just want to turn my brain off.

I don't know if this is normal or if other people experience this too. If you're someone who's naturally really sensitive or used to overthink every social interaction, how did you deal with it?

Hi guys, I know everyone has a different experience, but I’m a Cancer Moon with Cancer Rising, Leo Venus, and Virgo Sun. I’ve dated this guy who has an Aquarius stellium he has an Aquarius Sun and Moon with Scorpio Rising and Sagittarius Venus.

Me myself, I’m not too much interested in relationships, but when I love someone, I’m such a giver, and I’ll always be there for them, giving them whatever they want. This person was a typical example of what an Aquarius is he was so detached, never there when I needed him or when I was going through bad times. I feel like he has always been surrounded by options. He’d tell me, "I’m talking to other girls, but I don’t have feelings for them," while refusing to talk about them and me knowing about them would be an invading of his personal space , and I don't know for me, I consider this cheating. I told him this, and he was like, "I’m not gonna change for anyone," and I wasn’t even asking him to change.

No emotions, no love; it’s basically nothing. He once told me, "Don’t send me romantic things." I don’t think this is called personal space like they call it; it’s just being emotionally unavailable. I really loved him and tried to give him my all. I somehow felt like he had never received the love he deserved, so I tried to love him by all means. But at some point, it felt so exhausting, especially after he started disappearing for days and coming back like nothing happened, talking daily. The last time, it lasted for nearly a month of disappearing.

I think I just gave up after something happened and he wasn’t there for me, so I decided it’s not worth it because I deserve to be loved right, too. He’s sexually attracted to me, by the way, so much ig

I left him. I don’t regret it, and I don’t want him back. But my question is: do they ever realise it ? Do they ever feel how much love we gave them ? Any Aquarius moon ever been with a cancer moon here can tell us their experience after breakup ?

I always see posts on multiple platforms saying dress like your sign, wear makeup like your sign, decorate your place like your sign. However I hate baby pink, silver pastels etc. I also don’t love girly frilly clothes and skirts.

I love bold colours (my favourite is orange), sporty/ tomboy and mid century inspired clothing and bronzy makeup. For home decor I like mid century modern and boho combo with LOTS of house plants and colourful accents in jewel tones ( orange, yellow, green, blues etc)

My rising is Taurus and mood in Leo. Maybe they influence my aesthetic more? Any more cancers out there like me?

And why didn’t you show any hints that you still wanted them?

random question inspired by mariah the scientist and young thug’s beef 😂

Any insights are welcome and highly appreciated!

I don't know if maybe this is because of the specific combo I have, but being a Cancer stellium (5 planets in Cancer), i think of myself as an "almost true cancer", and find many other signs to be a lot more "emotional" than me. Other signs seem to go through a lot more and stronger in their emotions, like (no shade to them) Scorpios and Tauruses actually seem to be much more sensitive and reactive to external stimuli and Aquariuses with Leos are much bigger crybabies... Its like yes, of course i went through all the emotions and sensitivity from teenage and up to early 20s, but then it just stopped, meanwhile many around me seem to only have recently become aware that they've been letting emotions rule their lives => are really struggling to process and contain them even in their 30s 😅

What do you reckon? Do any other Cancer stelliums notice this? Maybe Cancer's reputation is being muddied by people with other placements thinking that its the Cancer placement doing something to them, meanwhile its some other sign?

I personally resonate much more with the "mama bear" archetype assigned to cancers. Going berserk if someone endangers something I love - now that's my jam, consistent trait since being a toddler. Anger at boiling points in general to me is a much more familiar emotion than just pure "sadness" that I think is often associated with "sensitive cancers" + I almost never cry and am much more likely to laugh things off; meanwhile other signs seem to cry and get offended at the smallest inconvenience 🤷‍♀️

Technically Cancer ends July 22, so August = Leo right?
But if you're on the cusp or have Cancer in moon/rising, you might still feel Cancer vibes.

It's so confusing. Am I the only one who doesn't get this?
