Born on July 6

Cancer

When tempers rise at the dinner table, you settle them so kindly that the evening ends in second helpings and laughter.

A spare bed made up, a casserole in the freezer for whoever needs it, a chair by the window that’s yours: their home runs on looking after people, and they wouldn’t have it any other way.

July 6 pairs that with a strength you notice most when it counts. They’re soft-spoken, responsible and determined, the calm voice in a family wobble and the person you’d trust with anything. Hand them the hard job; it gets done, and kindly.

A gift idea for someone born on July 6

Have them round to yours for a change and do all the looking after: a cooked meal, a made-up spare bed and no washing-up.
