Hello!
I have a troubling relation with a cancer. Well she is my younger sis so we have that usual brother sister angst against each other. But I would love not to be around her. So Here is the question: Whats your thinking and insight on dealing with cancer.
Thanks,
Paul.

Re: Caps and Cancer?
Wed, June 27, 2007 - 2:29 AMHmmm, don't know how being a brother and sister can alter things, but I have been in an intense friendship/relatioship with a cancer male and they can get VERY frustrating indeed with their crawling back in the shell at the sight of the slightest problem. On meeting with the Capricorn perceived coldness they shoot right back in their little home to feel safe and that really bugs me. They seem unable of delivering a straight answer, always giving a yes and no responses, quite passive and introverted... This particular cancer has a seemingly tough shell but is a softie inside, though he would rather commit harakiri then to admit it... But when they do let you in, it is good. Not the easiest relationship I've had, but then again, I do enjoy challenges.
What is your problem with your sister, what is it that you can't deal with?

Re: Caps and Cancer?
Wed, June 27, 2007 - 4:12 AMmy experience with cancers has not been a good one. to say the least. it's been my experience that they are passive & reclusive to the extreme. but when they get angry or frustrated or feel vindictive they lash out with the force of a god & become horribly irrational. they've behaved like children & have thrown temper tantrums & have a tendancy to become violent if they don't get what they want. this is both male and female. no cancer i've ever met has had any kind of control over their own emotions. they've reacted in very poorly to their world not going the way they think it should & caused situations to be far worse than they would have been otherwise had they been rational.
however, everyone is different. your sister may not be like that. regardless, i would recommend being very delicate with her. it might be a pain in the neck for you to not say what you really want to say to her, but it will spare you a lot of grief in the long run. -

Re: Caps and Cancer?
Wed, June 27, 2007 - 10:11 AMthese guys have put it well!but mind you those things hold true to cancer males and not completely for females.you being a capricorn shouldnt have a problem with her.i have a few cancer friends who behave just like kamila has said,simple rule to deal with them--BE BOSSY.what kind of problem do you have with your sister,if i may ask?in experience i would say with friends its been hell!they lie and try to backstab all the time!theres no end to it and cant trust them at all!as for women,their constant need to stay at home bored me.females are ok as friends but complete disaster when it comes love.its true that they will shout and yell curse words at the slightest provocation.tell me more so i can help you out mate!
ciao!

Guilty this Cancer says.... But I got a Virgo Moon, so the irrational part is left to the side ;) -

Re: Caps and Cancer?
Wed, June 27, 2007 - 11:09 AMok so my little sis is also a cancer and i am a cap (though maybe not a tipical one since i'm almost an aquarius - and an ENFP personality type). I get along great with my little sis now that we are grown. but when we were younger and living together there were times when tensions would get high.
I think the easiest way to deal with her is to listen carefully, and ask the right questions. And be diplomatic, dont put her on the defensive or you'll get no resolution. I would always tell my little sister "well what I would do is ____, and heres why I would do that.... ________" instead of telling her "you should ____ because ____".
I think it's easier to get them to see your point of view if they don't have to feel confronted.
my 2 cents.

Wed, June 27, 2007 - 3:48 PMThanks everyone,
"but when they get angry or frustrated or feel vindictive they lash out with the force of a god & become horribly irrational. they've behaved like children & have thrown temper tantrums & have a tendancy to become violent if they don't get what they want."
In that very statement this is my sis. So this is why I just can't stand her and want to be around her. I am just an easy going guy. i feel that I do not need all that violence and frustration. I have had sort of o.k. times with her in the past at times but more often it was violent. Soon my house will be calm again. ;-) -

Re: Caps and Cancer?
Sat, June 30, 2007 - 1:26 AMUnfortunatly she and i are past listening and talking to each other. i have tried working with her but jsut can't happen any more. I don''t want to to come off like a downer to everyone.
New info on her to day is that she totaled my parents car. So she is not in any good position right now with family members. So we will see how this al plays out.

too true! and i get extremely annoyed at this kind of behaviour, i feel they should just get over it and learn to see that its not always about them.

Re: Caps and Cancer?
Sun, February 3, 2008 - 11:36 AMIt is good to separate from siblings.... I got an Aries Brother, Leo Sister.... 2 Sag parents.
Once I distanced myself... A whole new world opened for me :) .

Re: Caps and Cancer?
Mon, July 2, 2007 - 12:32 AMfrom my experience, they are not very compatible with cappies (both friends and lovers). they seriously need to learn to trust others and lighten up a little. they take everything way too personal and hold grudges all the time.
i have learned to stay away from cancers, thats my only solution. -

Re: Caps and Cancer?
Mon, July 2, 2007 - 9:56 PMI totally agree with your responce.
After starting this thread sis has lashed out at members of my family espesially my father and has recently totalled his car.
It was a very stressful and upseting last few days.

Re: Caps and Cancer?
Tue, July 3, 2007 - 1:44 AMMy older brother (by 7 years) is a cancer, and im a capricorn. Surpirsingly, we get along quite well. Me being capricorn (they say cappie tend to perfer older more mature company) and the slightly childish cancer, it somehow works. I dont know how "cancer" he is though, except for sun. XP Best of luck~ -

Re: Caps and Cancer?
Wed, July 4, 2007 - 6:31 PMWell, I am yet to meet a Cancer however, I am a Cap with a Cancer rising so perhaps I might get along with them. I need to meet one so I can find out. -

Capricorn and Cancer is the most complementary pair of opposites if you ask me....

Re: Caps and Cancer?
Wed, July 4, 2007 - 10:18 PMI don't have much to say that isn't positive about cancers. I am married to one and we've been together for nearly 4 years. Sure, we have our times when we will take things somewhat personally (both of us!) or get into snits over something so ridiculously stupid but the reactions come from both of us, not just him.
I have also had other significant relationships in my life with cancers. I find them important for me to be around and I have things to learn from them, as they also have things to learn from me. I have a cancer moon so that could be a reason for me getting along well with them. -

Re: Caps and Cancer?
Sat, March 22, 2008 - 7:51 AMi have a cancer moon as well (opposing my sun in the 12th)
-grew up with my cancer mum who is like a best friend to me
..the only issue i have with her is she seems to be very materialistic, and she cares DEEPLY for everyone in her own personal world..but that doesnt stretch out to others outside of her own personal circle
thats probably my own tendency to want to help everyone, whereas she doesnt see the point if they arent close to her already
whenever i've had friends that have been going through hard times, and i let them in and take care of them, or go out of my way for them somehow, she reacts like "why are you doing this? its only making your own life more crazy?" haha
She can be very selfish
but thats ok...we understand eachother in that sense ;) I'm that way alot too
I really admire her work ethic, and she has always overcome the huge obstacles in her life in amazing ways
-true survivor
Its interesting to look at the relationship between sun and moon in my own chart, and how it reflects perfectly the relationship between my mom and dad (although my dad is gone now)
I think its neat that my moon and sun are in my parents' sun signs
Dated a cancer once too
He was actually alot of fun, and we felt 'at home' emotionally around eachother, (which is nice, because i've always felt isolated emotionally)
but i found him kind of boring..he didnt like to talk about things with me
..he just wanted to have sex 24/7 lol
(which is awesome too, but sometimes you need to do something else for a few minutes lol )
and when we broke up, thats when i got to see the devil in him similar to what you guys are describing ...*yikes*
(my aqua rising probably?)
oh well...no different than what the rest of us have inside...this particular person just seemed like he had less reign on it

Re: Caps and Cancer?
Thu, July 5, 2007 - 4:50 PMI always had issues with Cancers when I was younger but I think that was because my Saturn was in Cancer and its opposite my Sun so thats extra fun....
My mother is a cancer moon and we fought like cats and dogs - a few ex's and one friend who was so crabby none of my other friends liked her.
After my Saturn return though I lightened up on Cancers..I know have a good female friend at work. I think as a Cappie we are so used to trying to be cool calm and collected...the level headed and straight shooting type. So its hard to be around people who are overly emotional...we want them to just get a bit tougher already and not take everything so personal. However, I have learned to appreciate their sensitivity a bit...emotions to me are not "unacceptable" to me anymore...especially the ugly ones...so thats makes it easier to appreciate Cancer qualities. -

Thu, July 5, 2007 - 9:12 PM"we want them to just get a bit tougher already and not take everything so personal."
Try being a Cap sun with a Cancer moon......that statement describes conversations I have with myself when I get overly emotional about something. It's like an inner struggle!

Re: Caps and Cancer?
Sun, July 22, 2007 - 12:55 PMRun. caps and cancers are opposite. I have a very hard time understanding and dealing with them. If it's not comfortable to be near her, don't be. you'll only stress each other out. since you are brother/sister, just understand that you will rarely see eye to eye, accept it and move on. keep visits short, and try to not take too much personally, even though they will take everything too personally.

Re: Caps and Cancer?
Fri, August 17, 2007 - 10:41 PMWELL I THINK YOU SHOULD MOVE ON BECAUSE IM A CAPRICORN MYSELF AND TRUST ME CANCER'S CAN BE SECRETIVE AND FRUSTRATING ALSO CONCIETED I KNOW THIS FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE TRUST ME LEAVE IT ALONE I KNOW ITS HARD TO FORGET ABOUT IT CAUSE U LOVE HER AND YOU JUST CAN'T MAKE THAT LOVE FEELING GO AWAY BUT YOU CAN TRY TO MOVE ON. ITS BETTER THAT YOU MOVE ON THAN TO STAY WITH HER AND MAKE YOURSELF MORE SAD AND FRUSTRATED. -

Re: Caps and Cancer?
Sat, March 22, 2008 - 7:03 AMPatience, patience, patience.
Some of my best friends and worst enemies are Cancers. Understanding that the two are opposites is the first key to getting along with one. However, both signs express a lot of the same things, just in different ways. Both are shy and somewhat insecure, both hate humiliation and take many things too personally, both love home and family.
It's emotions versus logic and neither side really wins.
