Cancer feels everything and remembers all of it. You build a home wherever you are, even at a desk, even for a night. You look after people before they ask, and the hard shell everyone talks about is not coldness, it is what a soft thing does to survive. Your memory for kindness is very long, and so is the other one.
Strengths
Warm, loyal, deeply intuitive. People feel safe around you almost at once.
Challenge
Retreating. When you are hurt you go quiet and inward, and the people who could help cannot find you.
One thing for Cancer to practise
Next time you want to pull back, tell one person that you are pulling back.
Born on the edge of Cancer?
The sun moves into Cancer a day earlier or later depending on the year, so anyone born on the first or last day should check their own birth year. If you were born at the very start you may recognise a fair amount of Gemini in yourself, and at the very end, a fair amount of Leo.
