Traits
What Cancer is like
Cancer rules home, family, memory, and the stomach. You read the mood of a room and respond to what people need before they say it. The strong shell protects a soft center. Security matters, so sudden change can feel like a threat. Trust grows through consistency. Once you feel safe, the loyalty runs deep and the care extends far beyond your own circle.
