Sun in Cancer

In the astrological tradition, the Sun is your core self, and in Cancer it grows through feeling and belonging. There's a pull toward care, memory, home, and protecting what's tender — yours and other people's. This placement is often experienced as warm and deeply loyal, and sometimes as a shell that goes up when things feel unsafe. The theme worth exploring is the difference between protecting yourself and hiding: both look similar from the outside. Protecting yourself and hiding can pass for one another until you let a little of the tenderness be seen, which is the moment they finally part ways.
