>>I'm a Cancerian male married to an Aquarian woman<<

A surpisingly underrated combination. Not a fan of either of them...but Nancy Reagan was a Cancer and Ronnie was an Aquarius and somehow Nancy's astrologer didn't scare her away from marrying him.

I think it's the combination of quirky views of the world that make the combo click. Cancer keeps Aquarius aware of the emotional side of life. Aquarius helps Cancer lighten up. And well..when it comes to telling others how to live....;-p

cool, I'm aquarius, cancer rising.....in love with a cancer for almost 13 years. Definately some communication problems....I want to talk, she doesn't. It's wierd, she's the more distant one....haven't figured that one out yet, and I'm being stubborn right now! Haven't spoken to her in 7 months. It's crazy!

I agree, I was in two relationships with two very different Taurus women. All they ever did was piss me off. Talk about teases. It felt like I had to move heaven and earth twice over before I got any kind of commited response. Being a scorp, it made me feel good, atleast initially. But I quickly got tired of the stubborn bulls and lost interest entirely, regardless of their eventual attempts to "give me anything" to keep me from walking. By that time it was just too little too late for me to care one inch about their feelings. Especially after mine had been thrown around like a marble in a tin can. The sex was outstanding, but it was way too much of a mind game to get any. Maybe that is why I love cancerians so much. Cancer gals are so FANTASTICALLY responsive. All it takes is one look or gesture, and the fun begins. Simplistic, yet divine. I love it.

Funny, same here, I'm dating a Taurus, and the sex is MIND blowing. But for the *most* part, we communicate pretty well too. Sometimes it just takes awhile. Although, if you read my "yet again" post on my "...Just Not That Into You" Tribe, you'll see why I say "for the most part."

You never met the scorpio moon.

I agree. Sex is the best in the zodiac between a scorp and a cancer (atleast for me, anyway). I have never been much of a one night type of guy, meaning it just isn't something I look for. It has only happened a few times. And every time it has been with a cancer gal. Even if we say it is only going to be for one night, we inevitably try to make something lasting out of it. Go figure, a scorp and a cancer making a mountain out of a mole hill. Who would've guessed?

But I do agree on the retreating into the shell thing. I have always been highly intuitive (scorp sun pisces rising) and also have the ability to sense when something is off. When it involves a cancer gal, I just let her be, don't force any issues, and eventually she will come back to me. For some reason, I have always loved bringing people out of their shells. I can always sense the person on the inside when meeting someone new. If they are quiet and reserved, maybe even a little pissy, I just love bringing out the smile in them. Thats why I love the cancer gals. They try so hard to be tough, but deep down they are more vulnerable than anyone else. I just want to show them that they can be themselves and no one will shoot them. Thats when the problems start. Somehow the intended message gets lost. She believes she can be herself, but only around me. So she says to me every thing that she feels I am doing wrong, which frustrates me, so I get coldhearted and say something that stings her badly to get some space. She retreats into her shell for another extended hibernation period, making me think she wants nothing to do with me anymore. I get over her after a few nights of binge drinking, erase her phone number from my life, and move on. Next thing I know, its four months later, and I get a phone call in the middle of the night. I'll give ya one guess who it is. Yep. Then she gets upset again because I don't remember her voice, forgetting that we mostly texted when we were together (I swear texting ruins relationships). Then another hibernation period, a late night phone call and the cycle continues on and on and on until I get fed up and have to tell her to stop calling. For good. Not because I hate her, but because I just can't take the in my life out of my life, are you here or not stuff.

Sorry to vent on you all, but unfortunately, on tuesday I received another late night ring from the past. Point is: I want to be gentle and simpathetic, but it is so hard to do 24/7. Especially over the same stuff all the time. I would like to be the rock she needs and wants, but every rock can stand only so much water.
