Your day, Cancer
the Moon is doing the talking for you today, and it points at something you have been protecting. Your making people feel safe is the part of this that works. Lead with it rather than apologising for it. The thing to watch is caretaking past your capacity, which tends to show up exactly when the water in you reaches for a reaction that surprised you. As a cardinal sign, the useful move is to open the door yourself. If you get stuck, borrow something from Capricorn: the opposite sign usually holds the half of the answer you skip.
