What it means

You take pride in family, home, the people you care for. Strength comes back when your own people are near and all is calm. Decisions are made with an eye to those close to you.

The flip side is touchiness and dependence on mood: the indifference of loved ones drains you.

Not about you if you take pride first of all in yourself and your own affairs, and family is far from first on that list.

How to check it on yourself

Check it against your past — write your answer down before you look at the chart.

  1. If you have the Sun in Cancer

    What should match. Name three things you are proud of. At least two of them are about family, home or caring for loved ones.

    When it’s not about you. One or none — then this is not about you.
