In essence

The Cancer Pig is caregiving at maximum capacity. Cancer's nurturing instinct meets Pig generosity, creating someone who will literally give you the shirt off their back, cook you three meals, and then worry that they did not do enough. They are the most selflessly giving combination in the zodiac, which is both their greatest gift and their greatest vulnerability.
