The "Devil" in the Shell

In astrology, every sign has its shadow. For Cancer, the so-called "devil" is not malice, but the intense, often overwhelming, flow of emotions. It's the defensive claws that snap when feeling threatened, and the tendency to retreat into a shell of silence or moodiness.

This protective mechanism, while a strength, can become a challenge when it leads to passive-aggressiveness, manipulation through guilt, or holding onto the past too tightly. The "devil" is the unchecked tide of feeling that can drown logic.
