Personality Deep Dive
Cancers are the natural caregivers of the zodiac. They possess an almost psychic ability to understand the emotions of others, which makes them incredible friends and partners. Their mood can shift like the phases of their ruling planet, the Moon, but their core is always loving and devoted. They seek to create a safe, cozy haven for themselves and their chosen family. While they may retreat into their shell when hurt, their capacity for forgiveness and nurturing is boundless.
