Trust your instincts
Deeply intuitive and sentimental, Cancer can be one of the most challenging zodiac signs to get to know. They are very emotional and sensitive, and care deeply about matters of the family and their home. Cancer is sympathetic and attached to people they keep close. Those born with their Sun in Cancer are very loyal and able to empathize with other people’s pain and suffering.
The sign of Cancer belongs to the element of Water, just like Scorpio and Pisces. Guided by emotion and their heart, they could have a hard time blending into the world around them. Being ruled by the Moon, phases of the lunar cycle deepen their internal mysteries and create fleeting emotional patterns that are beyond their control. As children, they don’t have enough coping and defensive mechanisms for the outer world, and have to be approached with care and understanding, for that is what they give in return.
Lack of patience or even love will manifest through mood swings later in life, and even selfishness, self-pity or manipulation. They are quick to help others, just as they are quick to avoid conflict, and rarely benefit from close combat of any kind, always choosing to hit someone stronger, bigger, or more powerful than they imagined. When at peace with their life choices, Cancer representatives will be happy and content to be surrounded by a loving family and harmony in their home.
Cancer – the Brave Crab Sent to this Earth by something they believe in, only to mess with someone bigger than they are, this isn’t an animal aware of their strength. Patriotism can make them endanger their own wellbeing, fighting for someone else’s cause, as if others can become their higher power. The Crab knows where they’re going, but this is often in a wrong direction, at least until they learn their lessons and start relying solely on themselves.

The Inner Lantern: Finding Your True North in Solitude
Have you ever felt the magnetic pull to hit the pause button on the relentless noise of the outside world? That sacred impulse—the urge to pull back, sit quietly, and just listen to your own thoughts—is the core message of The Hermit (Card IX).
In the Thoth tradition, this isn’t just an old traveler with a stick; he is a seeker carrying a radiant, glowing diamond lantern. This light isn’t something external you have to chase—it’s the wisdom that already lives deep within your own consciousness. It’s the realization that your own self-realization is the greatest service you can render the world.
The Power of Stepping Back
We are constantly bombarded by opinions, notifications, and demands. It’s easy to react instantly, putting up defenses to justify ourselves or push back when challenged. But The Hermit shows us a different path. Retreating into solitude isn’t about hiding from reality; it’s about seeing it clearly, free from the distortion of emotional turbulence.

“Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.” — Rumi
The Beauty of Pure Connection: Understanding the Two of Cups
When the Two of Cups appears in a reading, a breath of fresh air enters your emotional world. In the Thoth Tarot deck, this card simply bears the title “Love.” It captures that rare, peaceful moment when two separate energies meet, harmonize, and create something far greater than the sum of their parts.
Looking closely at the imagery, you see two intertwined creatures rising from a radiant lotus flower, pouring clear, life-giving water down into two golden cups. Above them sit the astrological symbols for Venus in Cancer—a placement that blends unconditional tenderness, emotional security, and open-hearted affection.
