What it means
Cancer – care and protection of one's own: safety first, then step. A planet in Cancer acts through attachment and memory, senses mood before understanding it. It is a cardinal water sign: it begins by setting up.
When a quality is out of balance
Care that doesn't ask: a person protects in a way that leaves no choice, and gets offended instead of talking. The past is valued above the present.
How to read in your chart
A planet in Cancer acts through attachment. Moon is at home and especially noticeable, Sun – about caring as a way of being oneself, Ascendant – about caution when meeting.
