Cancer
June 21 – July 22
Cancer Overview
Cancer, born between June 21 and July 22, is the zodiac's heart. They feel everything deeply and build their world around emotional connections, family, and creating a sense of home wherever they go.
Ruled by the Moon — the celestial body that governs emotions, intuition, and the subconscious — Cancer's inner world is rich, complex, and constantly shifting. Like the Moon's phases, Cancer cycles through moods, but their core remains fiercely loyal and protective.
As a Cardinal Water sign, Cancer initiates through emotion. They may seem soft on the outside, but their protective shell hides a formidable inner strength. Cross someone they love, and you'll discover just how fierce a crab can be.
