Pluto in Cancer

Cancer is cardinal water ruled by the Moon, and Pluto's long passage through it marks a generation. What is broken and remade is the family: who holds authority in a household, what a nation owes the people in it, how the past gets carried. This generation is emotionally tenacious and protective well past the point of comfort. The cost is possessiveness within the family, and a habit of holding old grievances as though they were property.
