Uranus in Cancer
Uranus in Cancer (1949–1956) unsettles home and family. The cohort redefines what a household is; in a chart it shows where belonging is unconventional and the past is broken with. The work is to make a home that is both free and safe.
In plain words
Uranus stands for your need for freedom. In Cancer, that works in a Cancer way: caring, protective and easily hurt. You look after your own and remember everything.
