Cancer is a water sign, and people born under it are often described as nurturing, intuitive, loyal, protective. In Western (tropical) astrology, your "sun sign" is determined by the Sun's position on your birth date — which for Cancer means being born between June 21 – July 22.
Note that exact cusp dates can shift by about a day from year to year because the tropical zodiac is tied to the equinox, not the fixed calendar. If you were born on a cusp date, check the precise boundary for your birth year.
