Cancer is cardinal water, and its ruler is the Moon, so your inner weather changes like a tide. With the Sun here, you take your bearings from feeling: you sense the mood of a room before anyone speaks and you remember how things felt long after the details fade. Home, family and belonging are central to you, whether that means blood relatives or the people you have chosen. You protect what you love by instinct.
