Celestial Insight

Cancer's energy is receptive, yin, and cardinal—initiating the summer season in the Northern Hemisphere. They possess an almost psychic ability to sense the moods and needs of others, making them incredible friends and partners. Their challenge lies in learning to protect their own emotional energy while caring for those they love.
