   LMAO…my husband is Cancer Moon and ASC and the first time he took me back to his hometown of San Diego, we drove around all day in that damn city while he showed me each and every house he lived in growing up. He’s an Aquarius Sun and Venus, so the stories that went went the houses were entertaining enough. I actually liked it, I suppose it satisfied my Cancer Mars.

   I know a Cancer woman who writes childrens books. Her life changed when her mom gave her some money to re-do her kitchen. The Cancer woman said she became a new person — more confident and happier. The Cancer woman lives on a canal. Her mom lives on the other side of the canal. They see each everyday scuttling back and forth over the canal bridge. I have visted the Cancer woman before. Either her mom is there, or she has cookbooks spread out and she is reading new recipes. Her favorite outing, which she finds very sexy, is to go to Ikea.

   Deirdre-My husband, who I wrote about above, loves my family…we bought a house literally a few blocks away from my parents. We spend every Sunday (and Saturday sometimes too!) with them. Both of our children have Cancer ASC and they want to spend the weekends at home or at “granny’s and tata’s” too. I’ve spent most of my life with them and couldn’t wait to get out….and I go and make myself a Cancer oriented little family…agggrr.

   I once went on a couple of dates with a Cancer man. On the first one, he took a call from his mother on his cell phone, at the dinner table. He was also very concerned about the amount of the check and split it meticulously. On another date he told me how he’d spent Mother’s Day refinishing his mom’s deck and rewiring her electricity. I have Cancer Mars and rising, but he did in fact bore me to tears.

   My current squeeze is a Cancer Sun/Saturn/Mercury, but other than some mom-worship, he’s a far-from-home, reject-the-family-home-religion-and-principles boy. (Sagittarius Moon, for sure.) Yeah, he has old pictures of his grandmother up in his house, and sends huge bouquets for Mother’s Day, but I love all of it. And I can’t believe that Cancer dude didn’t put the moves on you, Elsa. He was probably dying for it and going about it sideways, hoping you’d help him out. I think he WAS trying to have sex with you by showing you his house, har har har.

   Hey, now. I’ve got a sweetie Cancer man who works from home doing real estate. He takes care of annoying things like gutter cleaning and computer problems, He brings me coffee and smoothies and thai food. He likes it when my Taurusness comes home with velvet pillows.

   He’s got lots of Uranian/Aqua stuff though, so that helps with the smother/ boring factor.

   One Cancer daughter, the other a cancer moon daughter. The three of them do make me want to run out of the house screaming sometimes.

   Saturn in my 4th house though.
   I guess I asked for it.

   I think Cancer guy was looking for a mommy to share the house with, rather than to get laid. Elsa, you amaze me with your putting up with it, because I think I might have thrashed him through mid-dinner.

7. Elsa says on 7/16/08 at 9:51 am:
   

   Yeah, Jennifer but I was studying astrology so he was my specimen.

   Shell- I think your life sounds very nice. I am sure your kids are happy and you always know where you will be on Christmas. I think security is officially in and you will never regret a move you have made.

    My oldest friend is a cancer, and the only times we hang out are when I go to her place.

    I do have cancer guy stories, one in specific which involved a wine and cheese party, a million hours of history of cheese, cheese being forced upon me (No I’m fine! Thanks! Stop FEEDING ME), the guys family history, the history of the guys sheets and when I finally cracked “You have to be a cancer right? Right? Am I right?” an hour of his moms interest in astrology - he was cancer with cancer rising. I did, eventually, get laid. Then I ran screaming “Sorry I uh . . I have a lot to do today . .” (and if I have to hear about how your amazing pillow is ‘the same as the ones the astronauts use’ one more time . .)

    I’m laughing! My SO is a Cancer Sun, Venus and Uranus. He does have pictures of his family - back to the 1800’s - hanging on his bedroom wall, which intimidated me a bit the first time I was in there (talk about feeling like you’re being watched - and by great grandma, no less - LOL). He’s done his family history back to about 400 - and even did some of mine and discovered we are 8th cousins. He loves antiques and history. He got me involved in historical reenactment, which I really enjoy. Yes he feeds me and takes very good care that all my needs are met, but his Leo rising, Sag Moon and our Venus conjunct Uranus keeps it very interesting. Besides, as a double Taurus I like all that attention…

    I’m laughing at myself. I’m Cancer, and my husband tells me that on our first date I must have told him my entire life story over chicken sandwiches. He was overwhelmed, but not enough to stay away. I still drive him nuts that way though.:-D

13. shell says on 7/16/08 at 10:46 am:
    

    aww…I’m enjoying all these stories. I love Cancer.
    I know I’m lucky to have my Cancer family…because lord knows I love nothing more than SECURITY

    I spent 4 years with a Cancer guy. Very family oriented, and always split every bill exactly down the middle to the penny. If something on the tab wasn’t something he used or needed, he subtracted it out of his half. His family had a family organization. Now, don’t get me wrong - great guy, great family. But I couldn’t hack it in the end. Which is funny because I’m a Cancer Sun, Moon and Mercury.

    I dated and lived with a Cancer for 7 years. He was very family oriented. It ended because not only had we grown apart as people (I was with him from ages 16-23) but his inability to take any kind of chance in life stifled me.

    My first love when I was 15 years old was a Cancer, as well. (Am sort of seeing him again currently.) He loves nothing more than to hang out at home, and he is very much the gracious host!

    Back when I was working at a clinic, I had a gigantically tall and overweight gay client who, partly due to an anxiety disorder, stayed in his home nearly all the time, mostly cooking sweet potato pies and eating them. Unfortunately, his mom was toxic, so I guess he turned to food to self-nurture. I don’t remember much else of his chart, but I recall he was attracted to thug-like guys…

    My SO is a Cancer Asc and Moon, though, like Shell’s SO, has Aquarius Sun and Venus.

    Sure enough, on our first date he was afraid to touch me and waiting for me to help him out. Plus, I heard the long story of his family’s tragedy.

    The one difference, though, is that he absolutely despises his mother. And unfortunately, that hatred is very consuming and he sometimes projects that onto me. *rolls eyes*

    On the plus side, he takes care of my splendidly, always bringing me food and other goodies (did I mention I’ve gained about 40lbs in the 5 years we’ve been together? This is why Taurus Rising should avoid Cancer XD). He’s very sensitive to my moods and needs, and I feel such a beautiful security. For someone with the Moon opposite Uranus, security it highly coveted to be sure.

    I have never understood the whole “showing you the house” thing. I do like to stay home, but I find it so boring to wander through someone’s house while they show me their stuff. I never do that when people come to my house, I just don’t understand it. It’s not the end of the world, I’ll go through the motions if someone wants to show me their house, but in my head I’m thinking “who cares?”

    Oh lordy, my Cancer side fantasizes about all sorts of things. Writing a comfort food cookbook… all sorts of things.

    Mom’s a Cancer, and I spent the weekend around her AND my extended family. I heard stories all weekend… which isn’t bad, they were some good stories, plus I actually knew the people. But she nearly took me by the house we lived in when I was a baby, and I think that would have finally crossed the boredom line for me.

    Oh, and she and my sister (Taurus) just LOVE going around new housing developments… just driving through them and looking at the new houses. Or any neighborhood, just LOOKING AT THE HOUSES. Gemini me is going, “I could be at home reading a book on contagious diseases right now.”

    My kitchen is set up perfectly, but I don’t get the house thing. My own house is the only house I’m really into. I’ll give someone else’s house the time of day if I want to be polite.

    My boyfriend of almost two years is a Cancer sun with a gemini moon and sagitarrius rising, which makes for an interesting pairing my leo/aquarius/sag rising… lots of security and trust issues, but at the center of it all he’s definitely the best friend i’ve ever had- although he can’t even SPELL romance and knows nothing about kitchens or fancy dinners. fake cancer. :p

    Going back and reading through all these comments… The bill-splitting seems to be a common thing, and my SO is certainly… Thrifty. I am.. Ha, an IMPULSIVE and extravagant spender. Interesting balance.

23. Snapdragon says on 7/17/08 at 12:02 am:
    

    Yup, almost made it 17 years with a Cancer SO. I think our first Christmas, my big gift was TOWELS! Very exciting, right?

    Also, we didn’t share a bank-account for years! Yup, bill-splitting is right on the money.

    I know Scorpio’s and Cancer’s are supposed to be a good match, but I think if another Cancer comes my way, I’m gonna run screaming for the hills!

    I’m a Cancer but it seems that I’m a fake - too much Gemini perhaps My kitchen is a mess and I practically use it only for making coffee or tea. The only thing about houses that I’m interested in is the furniture and design (Moon in Libra?). However, it would have never occurred to me that someone might be bored to death by listening to other people’s life stories - I’ve always found it a fascinating conversation subject But storytelling is also Gemini, isn’t it?

25. Loonsounds says on 7/18/08 at 12:25 pm:
    

    ROFL. Isn’t astrology something? I’ll bet he had a major stellium in Cancer. Sooooo interesting. I think you were smart to avoid hanging around with him long enough to meet the mother, which would have happened on the second date or the next morning, which ever came first.

    I briefly dated a guy with the Moon and Mars in Cancer. When it dawned on him that I wasn’t really into him, he said “You’d get along really well with my family, you know”. Sorry, no deal;)
