Cancer
Deeply intuitive and sentimental, Cancer values home, family, and emotional security above all else. Their empathy makes them incredibly loyal and caring.
As a Water sign ruled by Moon, Cancer brings initiative and leadership to everything they pursue. Their cardinal quality makes them the starters of the zodiac — initiating, pioneering, going first.
