You are the fourth sign of the zodiac wheel dear Cancer. Your depth of emotions, empathy and tenderness are unmatched!

You are nurturing: as the first water and second cardinal sign, you’re a care–taker, very comforting and sensitive. You’re quite the home buddy, you usually enjoy cooking and turning your home into a cosy cocoon. This sanctuary is needed for you to retreat: you’re all about the feels and often get overwhelmed by your own emotional nature. You have a very strong instinct and you tend to start any new venture from the heart.

In Tarot, you’re The Chariot, a figure comfortably seated on his vehicle, under a blue canopy embroidered with stars, guided by his spirituality and balancing his emotions to reach his destination. This is when you’re collected and in osmosis with your feelings and the lunar cycle that you are strong and powerful!

With the Moon as your ruler, you display a kind, affectionate and maternal energy. You bring warmth, protection and care to those you love. You represent the breasts: the softness and nourishment they provide are the perfect analogy for your personality. You’re the nest–maker, ensuring everyone’s safety. However, if you feel insecure, you can be moody, easily offended and clingy or even isolate yourself from others.

Your lessons in this lifetime dear Cancer are to accept your vulnerability as a strength and not to brood over the past and what cannot be changed and to avoid emotional manipulation: one should always give without expecting anything in return.
