Sun in Cancer

Sun in Cancer in a birth chart
You lead with care. You remember what people need and you make places feel like home. Your moods change with the tide, and you feel things before you can name them. You protect your own fiercely, even when you do not protect yourself.
The growth edge is asking. Saying what you need, out loud and early, works better than hoping someone notices.
