Who Cancer is
Cancer is a Water sign in Cardinal mode, ruled by Moon. Its core keywords — nurturing, emotional, protective, moody — sketch the basic stance Cancer takes toward the world.
Cancer in Love & Compatibility
In intimate relationships Cancer tends to vibe most easily with other water signs; air signs offer intellectual resonance, water signs offer emotional depth. Watch out for taking "moody" as the whole story of the person.
Cancer at Work
Professionally, Cancer naturally radiates "nurturing" and "emotional"; roles and teams that reward those qualities feel like home. The blind spot to watch is "moody" slowing down longer-arc decisions.
