What you are trying to become

You do things large or not at all. You need it to be seen, and lukewarm stings more than a flat no.

The Sun rules this sign: the only body in the chart that makes its own light. The brightest star of the constellation is Regulus, “the little king”.

You give in front of everyone. What you want back is to be truly looked at.

What settles you

You settle when everyone is home. You remember every word, every birthday, what was forgotten. Your mood follows that of your people.

Cancer begins at the June solstice, the day the Sun stops and turns back. The Moon rules this sign.

The Moon is at home in this sign. It changes shape every night, and so do you.

What draws you

You love through details. You remember how the other person takes their coffee, you fix what creaks, and you rarely say what it means.

Mercury rules this sign and is exalted in it, a case unique in the zodiac. The brightest star is Spica, the ear of wheat.

Venus is in its fall in this sign: your affection reads in what you do, and not everyone can read it.

What gets you moving

You move toward a distant goal, in long strides. You fight for an idea, a conviction, and you lose patience with what seems small to you.

The centre of our galaxy lies in the direction of Sagittarius: look toward the archer, and you are looking at the heart of the Milky Way. Jupiter, the largest planet, rules this sign.

You set off strong, and the road interests you more than the last mile.

How you think

You think with your memory. A smell, a sentence from ten years ago, and it all comes back. You listen to the tone as much as the words.

You retain what you were told, and above all how you were told it.
