Cancer exhibits a calm and compassionate demeanor yet experiences emotional fluctuations due to an innate desire for emotional security. Cancer’s sensitivity to external factors often leads to an initially defensive or hesitant attitude.
Mythic level (Mythic Deities and Figures):
Greek Goddess: Artemis
Artemis, the goddess of the hunt, wilderness, and the moon, governs the domains of focus, determination, and intuition.

These attributes make her an ideal representation for The Channeler archetype, which draws upon intuition and higher wisdom to channel energy and pursue goals.
