Cancer - The Compassionate Protector

May 21 – June 20

CANCER

May 21 – June 20

Cancer is the emotional heart of the zodiac — deeply sensitive, intuitive, and loyal. Like the Crab that symbolizes them, Cancer carries their home with them and protects their inner world with care. They have a strong need to belong, and when they feel secure, their emotional intelligence becomes their superpower. With a nurturing presence, Cancer offers comfort and protection to those they love.

Traits at a Glance

Cancer’s greatest strength is their emotional depth and care for others. Their feelings run deep, and their ability to sense the emotional climate around them is unmatched. They may retreat into their shell when overwhelmed but always resurface with love.

Strengths & Shadows
