Out of interest and just for fun

In particular views on Libra and Cancer

Obviously tongue in cheek!!

I don't know if it's bunkum or not.

I have had close friends who are Cancer, male and female. I am also Cancer. I have also had close female friends who are Virgo and Capricorn. My grandfather and father were Sagittarius and we were very close.

DH is Leo and Cancer/Leo have the potential to be a disaster. We are far from it

Mother and step are Libra. There have always been issues.

And so am I! Well, in true Scorpio fashion, I can be if I want.

As to the Cancer or Libra man question, ExH was a cancer, and is an absolute prick, and my DS is a Libra, and a wonderful human being.

So on a entirely unscientific basis of knowing two people, I would say Libra is much better than Cancer.

But women Scorpio are best.

The best thing about being a Scorpio is the slightly scared look that lesser mortals get in their eyes when they find out you're a Scorpio...

But am totes not evil. Honest.

As for partners' signs- well, Xh1 was a Taurus. That didn't go well. XH2 was a Cancer- that went slightly better for slightly longer. DP is a Sagittarius. Irritates me beyond belief sometimes but the love and passion is strong both ways so who knows- he might last the distance...😂

I do have a close family member who is a Gemini and I love her but I know she’s still evil like all the others 😅
Maybe it’s just because I’m a scared Pisces 😳

Same! I’m a sensitive Pisces and have a Gemini sister. I love her and we’re close, but gosh she can be duplicitous!!

Sorry for the quadruple posting - not sure what happened there!

I'm libra and had a few cancer friends who always turned out to be very jealous people and somewhat toxic but MIL is cancer and lovely. I only know one other Libra my brother who is a curmudgeon but lovely really. I think I am more like my rising sign a Pisces. They say Libras are indecisive and that is very true of me. I'm also very measured and appear very serene even when I am internally flapping. I have big love for earth signs especially Taurus Women and Capricorn men I think they balance me out being earth to my air and water mix.

You could argue the same thing about religion - I guess the difference is astrology is kinda fun and doesn't dictate that I be subservient to my husband, so I'll go with that 😆

Many people of course do argue the same about religion too. There’s plenty of room to think it’s all tosh.

Oh absolutely there is, but people tend to be a bit more sensitive about shooting people down for believing in a big fella in the sky 😆

Like I said, I think it's probably all absolute waffle, but some of us find it fun. As long as no one reads their horoscope in the newspaper like "Oh, this week is a good week for Aires to commit atrocities? Better go out and start pillaging" then there's no harm in it!

I'll take no 2 which is what I am.

My Nan was a Cancer and she was the nicest person I have ever met

Both my exes. Nope. Never would date another cancer.
