☉ Sun in Cancer · house 10

The drive to be someone in particular, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☽ Moon in Cancer · house 9
What makes you feel safe.

The urge to break something that still works.
