What it means
There were many duties in the family and little ease; you had to care for others early. Over the years you gain the ability to build a solid home on your own.
The flip side is difficulty asking for care and showing feelings; coldness as protection.
Not about you if in childhood you had a lot of warmth and few duties.

If you have Saturn in Cancer
What should match. Remember your childhood before twelve. You had constant duties — younger siblings, the household, caring for someone — not only school.
When it’s not about you. You had almost no duties — then this is not about you.
