“Without astrology man treads, as it were, in the dim twilight of ignorance..”
Luke Dennis Broughton
Cancer is a cardinal, feminine water sign ruled by the moon and associated with the Fourth House of Home and Family in all generational forms. Driven by gut-wrenching intuition, Cancer’s cardinal capabilities come from its feminine energy. Cancer is the leader who can intuitively act and decide but will also dip and dodge responsibilities as well. Cancer’s watery nature is often all in or all out. Ruled by the moon, Cancer’s psychic receptivity is incredible. It is motherly, nurturing, and compassionate. It’s also usually wrapped up in a moody presence. After all, Cancer isn’t known as the Crab for nothing!.*
