Sun in Cancer: The Sun begins to retreat from the northern hemisphere as soon as it

enters this sign. It is also interesting that crabs walk backwards for the most
part. Both of these are symbols representing the natives defensiveness and
sentimentality. They are fond of nostalgia, like to entertain at home and are eager
to have the attention of friends and family. Much of this persons sense of identity
and purpose in life comes from relationships with family and relatives. These
individuals are sensitive and introverted and can be very defensive about how
others think of them, but they are fond of praise. There is usually a strong
maternal instinct.

In a diurnal chart, the heat and dryness of the day help to tame the dyadic nature
of the steward of this place, making the native more masculine and less sensitive,
but only moderately so. They are therefore more secure about themselves than their
nocturnal counterparts. This Cancerian is more outgoing and in some instances, will
get involved in politics, but they usually prefer local politics over national and
international concerns.

In a nocturnal chart, the cold and moistness of night leads to an increase in

sensitivity and interest in domestic concerns. This native is family oriented and
usually does not care much about the world outside their immediate environment.
This individual can be manipulative if they feel emotionally threatened, and their
behavior can be hard to fathom at times due to the dyadic nature of the lord of
this place.
