Who you are
Cancer reads the room before entering it. You are protective, intuitive and deeply loyal, and you remember who was kind to you years ago. The shadow is defensiveness: withdrawing instead of saying what hurt.
Love and relationships
You love in layers and need safety before play. You test people quietly. Once trust is built you are generous, attentive and hard to replace.
Career and purpose
You are excellent at care, hosting, HR, teaching, property and anything involving a team's mood. A cold, purely numerical workplace will wear you down.
Money and luck
Security matters more than returns. Keep an emergency fund and avoid lending money you cannot afford to lose.
