Pluto: what it means in the chart

It shows where you symbolically die and are reborn: what you have already lost and rebuilt, and the area where you can't live by halves.

Cancer

Cancer is the sign of the place you come from. It keeps things: it keeps people, keeps stories, keeps the cup that was grandma's. People with it strong protect before exposing themselves, decide with the gut before the head, and have an emotional memory that records exactly who was there when it mattered.
