"I think it has something to do with their other aspects."

...or mine.

Stephen,

Very good question! I don't really know. I am an old-fashioned person about relationships yet very modern in every other aspect of my life. I expect to have monogamy in my relationships and the trend for modern relationships is to be open. I have had Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio men tell me they'd be monogamous and weren't. I just cannot stand it. Maybe I'm just meant to be alone in this life… Stephen, I've often asked myself that question.

i agree with you stephen.i had a boyfriend who was a cancer and he was absolutely lovely to me. now years later we remain friends, and i sincerely consider him one of my best friends. though he is the only cancer i have ever dated, i find cancer people i have ever met (platonically) simply wonderful.

Brace yourself for this one... I am a virgo with a cancer rising sign! Yikes! My relationships with cancers tend to be very dramatic and overly emotional for this reason.

I have a Cancer moon sign guy friend. He goes to the beach ALL the time to Surf or just float around in the water for hours. And he eats so much food, talks about food, and everytime I call him at home, (when he's acually not at the beach) he is in the middle of cooking, or tells me about the really great food he just ate.
He's really nice, doesn't complain, but when he does, it is All about his mother, who I learned, from his complaints, that she is very controlling and deep into his life.

Cancers are Moon babies who like to be cozy 'n comfy in their home,play in the water, eat yummy, yummy food, and have their mommy close by.

well spoken(written?) Rachel!

i wholeheartedly agree.

my most recent relationship was with a double cancer (sun/moon) and they are not kidding about the moodiness. I swear, within the space of an hour this guy would be madly in love with me, want a commitment, want all of my attention ... and moments later tell me he needed his space, and would be needing to spend the next week alone. I definitely wouldn't go so far as to generalize this to all of them (as stated above) but this was my experience and it drove me CRAZY.

Hey all,
I am a Virgo/Leo/Scorpio (sun, asc, moon) and am married to a Cancer/Virgo/Cancer. It's my first cancer love but not the first friend. Hell, I seem to be surrounded by them at this point in my life. The moodiness is difficult to deal with but overall it's a good fit. Virgo and cancers mesh (on a general just sun sign sense). Virgos can make a cancer feel safe and come out of their shell, a cancer can make a virgo feel protected thus love in the way we only can when we feel protected. Ideally a cancer can come to a virgo and tell them all their feels and ideas and feel like we understand in a way and they also bring us out of our little organized box a bit. It totally depends on the asc and moon and everything else also but generally, I wouldn't run from a cancer. I would sit and listen to them carefully, pick apart every word like a virgo can do so well and get to know them. I find cancers to be very deep and interesting. While they are moody and think a bit more out of the box, they are very intelligent and independant people. This is something that my Virgo side admires. (and the moody deep part really turns my Scorpio moon on ;-))))

in my experience cancers are selfish, egocentrical, and cold hearted :(
