The Cancer symbol
Cancer is one of the twelve astrological signs in the western zodiac. Every year, the sun is in this sign from 21 June to 22 July, and those born during this period are considered Cancers (also called Cancerians).[1] The Daily Prophet ran a horoscope for Cancer and the other signs of the zodiac in the horoscope section featured on its back page by 1995.[2]
Traits[]
Loyalty was a trait closely tied to the Cancer star sign. Those born under this sign were known for sticking by their friends no matter the situation, even when their friends might not technically be right. They were the epitome of the term ride or die. Cancerians were often regarded as the providers and nurturers of the zodiac. They were the friends who brought hot soup when someone was unwell, "the one you can call at three in the morning for a chat", and the only people who could keep that house plant alive. Their care was fierce and unwavering.[3]
Cancerians were not the ones to seek out a wild night out. They preferred staying in, finding joy in home comforts and creating the perfect relaxing atmosphere with Hygge vibes. They were consummate homebodies who thrived in their personal spaces. As the cardinal water sign, Cancer was known for dreaming big and taking decisive actions to make those dreams a reality. This drive was often fuelled by their deep emotional connections. While their intensity could occasionally be overwhelming, it always came from a place of care.[3]
