June 21 – July 22 · 90° – 120°

Cancer.

The Crabcardinal water, ruled by The Moon.

Cancer is the zodiac learning to feel. The first water sign, ruled by the Moon, the Crab arrives carrying the memory of home — and spends a lifetime building it, defending it, and offering it to the people it loves. Cancer feeling runs deeper than Cancer language; the shell exists because the interior is so unguarded.

The Cancer lesson is that protection and connection pull in opposite directions. The shell that keeps hurt out keeps love out by the same door.
