Nadir in Cancer
Nadir in Cancer means Cancer was at the lowest point of the chart, under the Earth, at the minute and place you were born. It is opposite the Midheaven and changes about every two hours, so it takes an exact birth time.
Cancer is a cardinal water sign. The nadir, or IC, is the point opposite the Midheaven: the part of the zodiac that was under the Earth, beneath your feet. It speaks of roots, home and what holds you up unseen.
Your roots
Roots that run deep
Your foundation may be memory itself. Family, a house, the past: these probably matter to you more than you show, and you carry them wherever you go. In private you need a real refuge, a place to withdraw and feel. Perhaps what holds you up, unseen, is the feeling of belonging to a line of people, with all its tenderness and all its weight.
