What the second decan of Cancer is read as
The second decan of Cancer is read as carrying a touch of Scorpio and Pluto. The care comes with depth and a long memory. These Cancers tend to sense what nobody said, to want all of a partner or nothing, and to keep a promise, or a grudge, for years.
What the number 4 adds
Numerology reads a birthday that comes to 4 as the mark of a builder. It tends to mean good habits, a love of things done properly, and a slow but very steady way of deciding who gets to come close.
