What is a Cancer?

Ruled by the Moon, Cancer's personality is fluid, reflective, and deeply connected to the rhythms of home, family, and memory. They possess a unique blend of toughness and tenderness, much like the crab that carries its home on its back.

Strengths & Sensitivities

Cancer's greatest strength lies in their emotional intelligence and ability to care for others. They are incredibly loyal and will go to great lengths to ensure the well-being of their family and friends.

Their sensitivity, while a gift, can also make them vulnerable to taking things personally. They may retreat into their shell when hurt, needing time and a safe space to process their emotions before re-emerging.
