The Sun is in Cancer from June 21st to July 23rd this year. Happy birthday to all those Cancer kiddos (and mommies and daddies)!
The symbol of the crab represents Cancer, which certainly doesn't sound flattering upon first thought, but it's an apt symbol when considering that a crab may be hard on the outside, but it is tender underneath, which can describe Cancer quite well. Cancer is a water sign and tends to have quite a big and deep heart, which it will reveal to you once you get under its shell. Cancer kids can be somewhat shy in general, though, taking awhile to warm up to new situations until they feel more confident and like it's safe to come out.
Children tend to be pretty openhearted as a whole, so they will be more likely to show their tender side. They love to nurture others and can be pretty good big brothers and sisters as a result, but they also take pretty good of their parents too. Show them anything vulnerable: puppies, babies, or even a sad parent who needs a hug, and their heart strings are pulled. Their sensitivity may befuddle parent personalities that are more outgoing, fiery, and/or rational and practical, as they may seem to get upset by the smallest things, but it comes with the territory when you have a big heart!

Marion and Tabitha Broderick, twin girls born via surrogate to Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick, are a shining example of this sweet sign, having been born right on a new moon, with both the Sun and Moon in Cancer.
Children born under a new moon maintain their innocence, sense of wonder and enthusiasm throughout their life, not just in youth. The new moon carries an energy of youthfulness, and naivete. Mlle. Kiddie can imagine them giving their heart away to those they love and being a light in all lives they touch with that Cancer sweetness and innocence. They are also likely to be quite devoted in relationships with their friends and family, with the loyalty of Scorpio Rising, the devotion of the Cancer heart, and the steadfastness of Mars and Venus in Taurus, in the 7th house of relationships.
With that Leo south node, they entered with more charisma in their baby fingers than some people have over their entire lives, so they are certain to charm anyone and everyone, and be quite adored. However, with Pluto in the 2nd house of worth and in the opposite place as their Sun and Moon, they may deal with strong insecurities. Sincerity, tenderness, and reliability will go further to bolster their self-esteem than any empty flattery or applause at their antics.
