Born at this point in Cancer season
Born in the last stretch of Cancer, this person arrives as the season's sheltering mood is already turning outward. They feel the pull to look after others, yet they also start wanting a place where their own effort is seen. When a friend asks for help on a busy weekend, they say yes, then keep count of what it cost them. That small tally is the core of this point in the season: care that wants to be returned.
