Cancer (June 21 – July 22) Cancers are very in tune with their own emotions and the emotions of others, meaning they have very high emotional intelligence. They’re great at reading a room, and they can always pick up on someone else’s vibes (whether they’re good or bad). Their emotional nature can work against them if they aren’t careful, since getting wrapped up in other people’s emotions can be exhausting over time.^{[1]XResearch source}
