Cancer in the Houses

The house where Cancer falls in your 命盘 brings deeper insights into those areas of life in which you are emotional and intuitive. This is where you are naturally creative and nurturing. Bring your awareness to how you might also be emotionally needy or moody in this area.

Cancer in the 1st House

If you have Cancer in or on the cusp of the first house, you are seen as a nurturing and motherly person, regardless of gender, and someone who takes care of those around them. Because this is how people meet you one-on-one, you are also meeting others one-on-one and will pick up their emotions, which often makes you protective and shy at first as you are reluctant to allow others into your “home” until you get to know them.

Cancer in the 2nd House

If you have Cancer in or on the cusp of the second house, your emotional security is tied into your material security. You’ll probably feel particularly unsafe if your financial security is ever threatened. This does mean that you are likely to save and invest wisely. You are also inclined to find ways to make your nurturing activities and 疗伤 modalities profitable.

Cancer in the 3rd House

If you have Cancer in or on the cusp of the third house, you learn through connecting to how you feel about information. You have one of the best memories out there, as the information stays stored in your emotions. This means you remember how you felt when you were learning, and that helps your memory retrieval. Be aware, however, that this can lead to a lack of objectivity.

Cancer in the 4th House

Cancer is the ruler of the fourth house and is at home here, so if you have Cancer in or on the cusp of the fourth house, you are very oriented around your family and home, and love family gatherings—especially those held where you live. You also enjoy traditions and need to put down roots to feel secure. This is an extremely empathic placement, so be sure to take retreats by yourself to protect yourself from taking on too much of other people’s emotions.

Cancer in the 5th House

If you have Cancer in or on the cusp of the fifth house, you have a highly creative side that pours emotion into your creations. You are also likely to find deep joy through nurturing any children you have. The love affair side of the house is light, and Cancer doesn’t really do light affairs. Your depth of emotion is more suited to your cautious approach to love; “affairs” don’t work for you. You are unlikely to have sporting or highly physical hobbies, preferring to cook or engage in other domestic activities.

巨蟹座位于第六宫

 If you have Cancer in or on the cusp of the sixth house, you love to help people through your profession. You are likely to be emotionally attached to your work and deeply affected by any ups and downs. If there is any instability in your work, you are physically affected, particularly by stomach issues. You care deeply about the people you work with. You work best in any situation that involves families or mothering/nurturing.

Cancer in the 7th House

Cancer in or on the cusp of the seventh house indicates that you are attracted to a partner or significant other who is sensitive and nurturing. You also need emotional and financial stability to feel secure. You need to both nurture and be nurtured, making your close 关系 deeply emotional. Your loyalty is paramount, and you need the same from others.

Cancer in the 8th House

If you have Cancer in or on the cusp of the eighth house, your emotions run deep and can go to dark places at times. There’s also a risk of deep dependency on others and allowing yourself to be overpowered emotionally. However, it can also be a place of amazing psychological depth that enables you to heal both the self and others because you are not afraid to hold space for transformation.

Cancer in the 9th House

If you have Cancer in or on the cusp of the ninth house, you have a tendency to stick to the beliefs of the family you were brought up in; you are generally a traditionalist. You are also emotionally attached to your beliefs and are hurt if they are questioned. You likely enjoy travel with family as well.

巨蟹座位于第十宫

Cancer in or on the cusp of the tenth house indicates that you need stability in your career, and your mission in life is to heal and nurture. Those with this placement often stay in the same role for most of their lives because of their emotional attachment and need for security. The better you do financially in this area, the more emotionally secure you are.

Cancer in the 11th House

If you have Cancer in or on the cusp of the eleventh house, you are likely to have a close group of friends that you keep for a long time. They are like family to you, and you love entertaining these small groups in your home. You are drawn to humanitarian pursuits that help those closer to home or helping families.

Cancer in the 12th House

As Cancer is all about security and emotions, if you have Cancer in or on the cusp of the twelfth house, the house of the collective unconscious and connection to the muse and mystery, you tend to have a powerful emotional connection to the collective and want to heal the world. As both the Cancer sign and the twelfth house are receptive, be aware that this can indicate a lack of boundaries; you will retreat into your shell if you overgive.
