Cancer Sun, Capricorn Rising: stern boss, loyal guardian
At your first meeting as team lead you arrive with a printed agenda, speak in a firm tone and set clear goals. The team sees someone serious, mature, a bit distant, who has come to demand results. Within weeks they discover the other side: you remember birthdays, defend your people in front of management and stay late so nobody gets stuck with a mess. Authority is simply how you protect.
People think you are cold and ambitious, when what drives you is keeping your people safe. Sun and rising are opposites that complete each other: the facade gives structure to your affection. It pays off in leadership roles, family businesses and team management. Practical tip: every so often, tell your team why you ask for what you ask. Once they know the protective intention, your high standards feel like support.
☀️ Your engine: Sun in Cancer
You feel everything times three. You protect your people fiercely and your home is sacred.

Your style is sober, classic cuts, dark colours and a watch that keeps exact time.
