Cancer
Jun 21 – Jul 22
The tenderness that creates home wherever it goes.
The essence of Cancer
Cancer is the emotional tide, the memory of the soul. You feel everything deeply and you care for others like no one else: wherever you are, you create home. Your intuition reads what is left unsaid and your sensitivity is a form of wisdom. Behind your shell there is an enormous capacity to love and protect. Your inner journey is about learning to care for yourself with the same devotion you give to others, and about not confusing refuge with hiding.
