It is a bit like the image of our secret garden, of our interior. In general, it urges us to build a life that will allow us to nourish ourselves in all areas. The path of life thus passes by the creation, and that in many fields or in many ways!

The associated strengths and weaknesses

This rising sign has many strengths. It often balances the astrological sign by bringing softness and roundness. It is a protective, hypersensitive, gentle and imaginative ascendant. Furthermore, it is often highly valued for all these beautiful qualities. You have a gift for putting others at ease, in your company one feels good, calm and confident. Your hypersensitivity allows you to be compassionate towards people and atmospheres. And since no one is perfect, the Cancer ascendant is no exception to the rule and brings you its weaknesses.
