Crab and the Fish

A look back to the beginning....

Tuesday - April 26, 2006....    Here is an excerpt from an e-mail I sent to Ed;  Mind you, we only officially hooked up on 4/21/2006, so we were 5 days into our romantic relationship...   I am the Crab and Ed was my sweet Fish...   We continued to joke about how true the following was over the next several years.  We were so compatible and, although neither one of us is big into astrology, we thought it was pretty accurate...   Enjoy.

"Cancer and Pisces are both Water Signs. Since Water is
a tangible, physical entity, Cancer and Pisces are
generally very compatible. Pisces are in this world to
create human connections (um, that is so Ed - he lived to connect people),
 and when they come together
with Cancerian intuition and nurturing, there is no
stronger bond. So that this union does not wash out in
a stream of romantic idealism, Cancer's stable view of
life holds them afloat. And it's not a case of Cancer
putting up with a dreamy Pisces mate: Cancer really
understands emotional ambiguity and can help Pisces
stabilize their ephemeral nature. Though Cancer could
grow weary of their Pisces mate's faraway nature, and
though Pisces could be bothered by Cancer's
self-centeredness (oh, my, yes - I could be very selfish sometimes,
but worked hard on it for Ed), it's easy for this pair to find a
compromise (and it was easy for us).

Cancer is a Cardinal Sign, and Pisces is a Mutable
Sign. Though intuitive, in love, as in life, Cancer
likes to get things moving with a good idea and a
solid plan, and they'll write it all down to keep
track. Pisces, on the other hand, is more about going
on instinct; they'd lose that plan as soon as Cancer
handed it to them! Cancer needs to give Pisces the
freedom to enjoy their external interests and to
occasionally follow a whim undeterred. Pisces can show
Cancer that completion is sometimes better than
initiation, and that compromise without struggle can
pay off. Cancer and Pisces feed off of each other's
energy well, and should be completely compatible in
romance.

What's the best thing about the Cancer-Pisces love
match? Their similar emotional natures. Both have a
great capacity for emotion and compassion, and both
can act as teacher AND student. They complement and
harmonize with one another very well. The overall
empathy and commitment that these two Signs value in a
relationship is what will keep the ties strong and
long lasting between the Crab and the Fish."

Forever my favorite Pisces....   Ironically, however, four of my very best girlfriends are Pisces and 3 or 4 of Ed's best male friends are Cancers - pretty funny if you ask me..........    Peace, mk
