“Guess it’s hard to be sympathetic if we haven’t been hurt by loss, etc.,. I have a Capricornian friend who always had a stern disposition, with little sympathy for humanity’s shortcomings. Yet since his father passed in April, he’s exhibited a more gentle, warm and patient approach toward others.”

So true.

Yeah. My Cap friend would complain about lighting in a restaurant. And he never liked it when he had to repeat himself more than once.

We went out, recently, and I was amazed by his patience in the midst of some real, not-so-nice treatment by a cafe staff. By patience I mean “silence” and *that* look in the eyes.

I love my Cap friends. They’ve taught me to keep from taking crap from others in some ways.

Deb, there was a great discussion over at Raging Universe some time back on the Cap/Cancer nodes. It’s hard to find specific entries, though, because blogger doesn’t allow searches, but IMO it’s worth a look. I have my nodes in the Cap/Cancer axis and it’s taught me a lot about my responses and tendencies.

Gosh. I’m kinda 75/25. I feel sympathy for many beings. But mean folks who know better I have very little sympathy for.

Don’t get me wrong, here. My awesome Capricornian friend is still as sarcastic as ever.

I am so the “no sympathy for your pain” person. My mother is going around whining and crying and Not Getting Over It and she’s driving me nuts. And my best friend just got a tarot reading where the moral of the story was “dry up and use your intellect rather than emotions here.”

I watched a performance on television, tonight, and cried buckets.

It was either that good or I was that mushy.

“The New Moon on Monday falls in Cancer, sign of mother, nurturing, and strong emotions, with Pluto in very tight opposition. On one hand, we may feel teary and overwhelmed, while on the other hand, we may butt up against someone who has no sympathy for this kind of behavior.”

I have this opposition natally and square Venus. This is the first time I read about people having no sympathy and now it all makes sense. I’m not going to get any sympathy so I might as well hunker down and stop expecting or seeking it. I never did understand that but there it is. On the other hand, I’m expected to give nothing but bottomless sympathy and understanding. I think that makes me more bitter than anything. I just pray that if I work on these issues really hard, I won’t carry them into my next life.
