The Nurturing Crab | The Fourth Sign of the Zodiac
The Sensitive Soul
Cancer, ruled by the Moon, is the zodiac's ultimate nurturer. Symbolized by the Crab, this water sign carries a protective shell and a soft, empathetic interior. Cancers are deeply intuitive, emotionally intelligent, and fiercely loyal to their loved ones.
