Interpretation

The Sun in Cancer draws identity from emotional bonds, memory, and the creation of safe spaces. You feel before you think, and your instinct to protect what you love is fierce. The shell isn't weakness — it's strategic. You show your soft interior only to those who've earned it. Your power comes from emotional intelligence that most people can't match, and from a loyalty that runs bone-deep.
