Born at this point in Cancer season
Born early in Cancer, this person arrives while summer is still finding its footing. The warmth is present but not yet settled, which suits someone who likes to test the ground before stepping onto it. Feelings come first, and explanations follow later. Picture a friend calling late with a worry, while this person already has a reply ready but pauses, unsure whether the friend wants advice or simply company. Their steadiness grows from paying attention and from admitting when they need a moment before answering.
