The Twelve Signs
Cancer
the Crab
June 21 – July 22
The lit window at dusk, the door that opens before you knock.
Cancer begins at the summer solstice, the year's longest light, and turns it inward toward home and kin. The Moon rules here, and the sign moves in tides: protective, intuitive, deeply loyal to its chosen people. Its shell is armor for a soft and remembering heart.
