💡 For the Cancerian Soul
Your empathy is a superpower. Remember to direct that nurturing energy inward as well. Setting healthy emotional boundaries is not an act of rejection but of self-preservation. Use your incredible memory to cherish beautiful moments, not just past pains. Your intuition is your greatest guide—trust it, but balance it with logic when making big decisions.
