Cancer 2nd Decan

The Mercury decan speeds up the mind — more curious, more verbal, quicker to notice detail and connect it to something else. It's the most mentally restless third of the sign.

Cancer is cardinal water — the sign that leads with feeling and builds a home wherever it lands. This is the zodiac's emotional memory: Cancer remembers who showed up, who didn't, and carries both for a long time.

• ✦ Quicker, more verbal processing
• ✦ Notices detail others miss
• ✦ Can overthink instead of just deciding
