Cancer is the heart and the harbor of the zodiac. Ruled by the Moon, your inner tide rises and falls with the people you love — you sense moods before words are spoken and remember kindnesses (and wounds) for decades. Home, for you, is not a place but a feeling you create.
Behind the gentle shell lives one of the most tenacious signs of all: when someone you love is threatened, the Crab does not let go. Your lesson is to care for yourself with the same devotion you pour into others — your feelings are not a burden, they are your compass.
