As a maternal/paternal Cancer, you treat the people in your life as though they are, on some level, your children. You care deeply. You are protective. You try to solve their problems. This is a huge burden to take on when you also have all of your own stuff to deal with, yet you feel a powerful sense of responsibility. You may now be handling a lot of your own obligations and also some potentially wonderful opportunities. Don't get bogged down by what other people need right now. They'll understand. Focus on what you need and enjoy the experience - guilt-free.
