Cancer rules home and family, so you’re in your element among your kin. Nothing makes you happier than a cozy day with your clan, and family reunions are nirvana. Your family is always nurtured well–fed and comforted. You’ll protect them fiercely, and always lend a shoulder to cry on. At times, you can be moody, but your family knows how to soothe you—or to give you the space you need. You feel best when your home life is peaceful, providing you with a calm emotional foundation.
Issue to Manage: Clinginess
You could get too involved in running the family, or relying on them
for support. When they aren't available, you may feel betrayed or bitter.
Create an extended family among your friends, so you always have the nurturing
you desire.
You as a Parent:
+You’re the ultimate nurturer, always ready with a shoulder to cry
on.
–Your fierce protectiveness can be smothering at times, or create too
much dependence in your children.
You as a Child:
+Your rich family values and loyalty bond you deeply to your parents.
–Your mood swings can worry your parents, and if your parents aren’t
nurturing, you may develop a very tough shell.
You as a Sibling:
+Your protectiveness makes your sibs feel sheltered and cared for.
–Your bouts of crankiness aren’t easy for the siblings to understand
or forgive.
