Cancer in Astrology: Meaning and Traits Explained

Discussing the meaning of the zodiac sign Cancer in astrology, and explaining the traits and personality characteristics associated with people born under that sign, with astrologers Steph Koyfman, Adam Elenbaas (formerly Acyuta-bava Das), and Chris Brennan.

Cancer is the fourth sign of the zodiac, and it is a feminine or nocturnal sign, cardinal, watery, and ruled by the Moon.

This is the fourth in a series of episodes where we do a deep-dive into each of the signs of the zodiac, one per episode, in order to really understand their core meaning and significations.

Steph and Adam's credentials for this episode are that they both have prominent Cancer placements in their birth chart. Steph has the Sun and the Midheaven in Cancer, and Adam has the Sun and Mercury together in Cancer.

During the course of the episode we talk about various keywords and traits associated with Cancer, and also look at some birth charts of famous people who were born with different planets in that sign.
