Cancer Coded* Playlist

Imagine the feeling of being wrapped in a cozy blanket on a rainy day—that's a bit like understanding Cancer. Represented by the Crab, this sign stands out for its deep emotions, intuitive nature, and nurturing instincts. As a water element ruled by the Moon, Cancer season is highly metaphorical for tides and phases. This sign is in a constant battle with the powers at be, which could explain why our Cancer friends seem to be the crabbiest—too on the nose?

But that’s not to say we don’t love Crabs. With great sensitivity comes occasional moodiness, where Cancer will then retreat to their shell for emotional safety, where only the most trusted visitors are allowed. Creating a safe, nurturing environment to reconnect and ground during chaos is their superpower. When the Crab eventually finds a calm place to land, it comes out of its shell once more and the fun begins.

Cancer is famous for its expression of romance and love, but it’s really about the human experience of emotion in essence. This season asks us to look at the duality of our emotions and how they exist together within us. Just as the ocean tides and moon phases change each day, so do our feelings. Cancer reminds us that navigating emotion requires preparation and patience to ride out the storms. They, too, shall pass.

Experience the range of human emotion like the Crab. Here are 20 tracks to make you feel something.
