Governed by the ever-changing Moon, Cancer's emotional landscape is deep, tidal, and reflective. Their strength lies in their capacity to care, to remember, and to create a safe haven for those they love.
While they may retreat into their shell when hurt, their loyalty and empathetic nature make them the heart of their circle.
"Strength is found in sensitivity. The shell is not a prison, but a sanctuary from which to feel the world deeply."
