Take Exam (Pay Later)Cancer (Karka): The Bunker
The Essence
Cancer is not 'soft'; Cancer is the most heavily armored sign in the zodiac. Ruled by the Moon, it represents the biological imperative to protect the genetic line. It is the crab that carries its home on its back because it trusts no one. Its emotions are not weaknesses; they are a radar system designed to detect threats to its security. It draws you in with warmth, but it holds you with a grip of steel.

Psychology
Gifts: Psychic empathy, the power to nourish, a memory that records every slight, and the tenacity to survive any emotional winter.
Shadows: Emotional blackmail, the weaponization of victimhood, clannishness that excludes the outsider, and a passive-aggression that rots relationships from the inside.

The Ocean of Milk. It is the source of all nectar (life) and all poison (Halahala). Cancer is the container of both. It is the mother who can feed you or drown you.

The Nurse, The Historian, The Real Estate Tycoon, The Chef, and The Mafia Don (it's all about 'Family').
Relationships
Cancer wants to merge. They don't want a partner; they want a symbiotic organism. If you hurt them, they won't fight back immediately; they will retreat, wait, and ensure you die of guilt.
