Ruled by the Moon
Cancer is governed by the Moon, the celestial body of emotions, intuition, and the subconscious. This lunar influence makes Cancers cyclical in their energy, deeply reflective, and connected to the rhythms of home and family. Their nurturing nature is a direct reflection of the Moon's maternal symbolism.
