Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces. Emotional depth and instinct. Water feels powerfully and has to learn where it ends.
Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn — the four signs that open a season. These are the initiators, good at beginning and at leading.
Personality
Cancer carries a hard shell over something very soft. You remember both the kindness and the hurt, attach deeply to family, and read the mood of a room before anybody speaks.
Strengths
- Deep empathy and skilful care
- Utterly loyal to your own
- Strong instincts about people
- Persistent in a quiet way
Watch out for
- Wounds easily and holds it
- Withdraws instead of saying so
- Clings to the past
- Moods that follow the weather
Love
You love wholly and build a real home. Say it when you are hurt rather than retreating — nobody can read your mind.
Career
Healthcare, early education, HR, counselling, food, residential property.
Advice
When you are hurt, say so within a day. Your silence does more damage than plain speech would.
