I’m so much of a Cancer that I’m almost a caricature, and I’m crazy about shoes. My most shoe-obsessed friend is also a Pisces, and yes, super-typical of her sign. One of my other Piscean acquaintances, however, is so anti-fashion in that way. Maybe it’s either a really-there or really-not thing?

Cancer sun & rising, Virgo moon – and shoes? Thorny issue! I probably have the most delicate feet in the country: at the first sign of my actually walking anywhere in anything other than bare feet, I get huge blisters that scar for years afterwards. So shoes HAVE to be comfortable, first and foremost. They also have to be versatile, because shoe shopping being such a pain due to my fussy feet, I only own about 3 pairs that I’ll actually wear (boots, flats, and sandals). Add to that the fact that I am unbelievably fussy about what I will and will not wear, and… shoes may not be an obsession, but it’s definitely not a case of “throw anything on and walk”!

Sun taurus, moon cancer, ascendant virgo. Nope, not into shoes. Didn’t wear any until I started school. Plain leather lace ups or ballet flats. Big, wide feet may have something to do with availability. Hate heels. Go for colours – blue or bright jade for preference. Have just bought first pair of red shoes, but they don’t fit properly so will have to go back. Comfort is all. Walk everywhere in fake crocs. Bare feet is best.

Pisces, Gemini moon, ascendant in Cancer, and I am totally, totally obsessed with shoes. I go shoe shopping -all the time-, although to clarify, I go shoe -window- shopping all the time. Shoe shopping in itself is an investment: I won’t buy it until I’m sure it will bury itself seamlessly into my wardrobe, reflects some part of my style, is of good quality, and is somewhere within my price range. Needless to say, that doesn’t happen very often.

Surprisingly I’ve noticed that all the shoes that are on constant rotation are 1) black 2) leather and 3) lace-up. I have a four-inch heeled, combat bootie version of these; a pointy, flat, corset-inspired version; the casual boot; and the ever-popular oxford bootie. I’m not sure what it is about highly complicated, tied-up shoes that draws me… oh, and when I decided that I was going to “reach out” and get “a new type of shoe”… I ended up with a darling baby blue loafer…

Also lace-up.

Sigh.

OH, and I’m also the character who’s always carrying around insoles and a blister balm because my feet are pretty much scarred and blistered everywhere.

I was born on a Taurean Gemini cusp, and if money allowed I would probably buy a lot more shoes than I already have.
BUT
having size 9 feet and not being confident in heels means I have about 8 pairs of shoes, all amazing gorgeous but SNEAKERS!!!!!
Does this count?
I have one pair of kitten heels which are bedroom-only because they hurt so much… and a friend who lends me shoes from time to time with the same size feet as me, she has a gorgeous shoe collection. Jealous, but wouldn’t ever spend that much on shoes.
Clothes all the way.

My moon is in Cancer and it definately dictates my style! I love shoes, when I was younger I wasn’t so into them. But now that I’m more feminine I am obsessed! Most virgos I meet also have a deep love for shoes, so I’d say you may be on to something.

I have so many shoes it’s ridiculous. What’s so sad is, I don’t even wear half of them, yet I keep buying more! If it is a beautiful shoe (boot, heel, flip-flop, etc…. I don’t care) I have to have it.

I am a Libra (with a Taurus rising, Libra Moon. Needless to say, I am one indulgent mofo) so it’s impossible for me to make a decision what pair to wear, so most days I end up just saying ‘eff it and wearing the same pair all the time. They sure are pretty to look at though

Hi Mystic Medusa! yes yes yes. Sun, Saturn, Merc in TAURUS here and I have 100+ pairs of shoes, with a preference for wedge heels and strong shapes. I am currently obsessed with (eco) melfex plastic shoes & want these in every color. I agree with you on being aligned and balanced by one’s shoes and I am also a lover of Fit Flops and MBTs <- which I highly recommend.

When I travel I have the hardest time deciding which and how many pairs to pack. I could change shoes 3-4 times a day…

No PISCES, but Neptune conjunct Jupiter in the 1st house – does this count?
