Cancer begins at the summer solstice, cardinal water ruled by the Moon. Its natives feel first and reason after, remember everything, and protect what they love with a shell that hides a soft interior. Home, family and the past matter to them more than to any other sign, and their moods follow the Moon's own rhythm.
