Understanding Cancer

Cancer is linked with water, belonging and care, with the Moon as its traditional ruler.

Emotional safety and nurturing are common themes. Care is healthiest when it includes clear boundaries.

Creating supportive environments fits this symbolism. Communicate your needs rather than expecting others to infer them.
