Your Sun in Cancer
With the Sun in Cancer, home and the people you trust often give you your energy back. Cancer is linked with care and belonging, and you may find you feel most yourself in familiar places with people who know you well. Time to retreat and recharge in private tends to matter to you. You often lead with kindness and a good memory for what matters to others. When you feel safe and settled, your warmth and loyalty tend to come through most clearly.
