Personality Overview

With your Ascendant (or Rising Sign) in Cancer, you present yourself to the world as a sensitive, protective, and intuitive individual. Your first impression is often one of warmth, empathy, and a subtle, caring nature. You have a natural instinct to nurture and protect those you care about, and your home and family are of paramount importance to your sense of security.

Your emotional world is rich and deep, and you are highly receptive to the moods and needs of others. This can make you wonderfully compassionate, but also requires you to establish healthy emotional boundaries. You may appear somewhat reserved or shy initially, as you carefully assess your surroundings for safety.
