Cancer's inner world is vast and sensitive. Cancers sense the mood in a room before anyone has said a word, and they can tell how a friend's day went from the tone of their voice. This sensitivity gives them deep empathy, but it also means they are quickly affected by the emotions around them. Knowing their own emotional boundaries is essential to their balance.
