Cancer

Cancer is a cardinal water sign in the tropical zodiac-signs. Approximate solar dates: Jun 21 – Jul 22. Traditional ruler: Moon.

Themes

Core tone: nurture, memory, protection. Under stress the same sign can lean toward mood defensiveness. Placement depends on houses and aspects — a planet in Cancer describes how that planet acts, not the whole chart.
