This sign is one of the worst for Saturn, because here he is in his exile.

Saturn in Cancer in the natal chart : Personality
You are constrained when it comes to showing love and other emotions, shy and may feel lonely. Probably, in childhood, you lacked tenderness, or there were other family problems. This is the reason for your trauma. Despite all this, you want to be with your family and feel responsible for it.
Behind external calmness, you hide your true thoughts and feelings. You cry a lot, but you don’t do it in the presence of others, other people can only see your melancholy. Despite the need for approval and love, your family life is often unstable. Because of hurt feelings, you do not fully understand others.
Therefore, if you want to help others, you do not always succeed. You can show great discernment and ability to achieve material wealth. You are prone to nervous tension, beware of obesity as you are prone to water retention. Challenging aspects can lead to oversensitivity, a desire to avoid close ties and a need for protection.
The planet in the status of exile indicates the functions of the sign, which are given to the archetype with great difficulty and tension. It is difficult for Cancer to be disciplined; one should not expect clarity, organization, and concentration from him. Cancer prefers not to take on unnecessary responsibility. Official situations cause him emotional discomfort and tension.
Strong emotional sensitivity prevents Cancer from structuring their experiences, highlighting their nature, the content of anxiety.
Cancer’s attention is not concentrated. It is easier for him to sacrifice a sense of duty than to test a sense of security – issues of duty are solved by him very subjectively.
Among Cancers, democrats are more common than tyrants. Cancer is more likely to be surrounded by loved ones, children, bodyguards than to while away the cold ascetic loneliness of Saturn, reigning on a high mountain, where there is only one place. It is difficult for Cancer to limit himself in desires, to structure his life with time, rigid goals.
The hard, cold dies in Cancer: a stone (Saturn) thrown into the sea (Cancer) falls to the bottom, and only circles (excitement and awe) spread from it on the surface of the water, which will soon leave.
If the Law interferes with Cancer, he will find a way to get around it, because Cancer survives due to his ability to change shape. The inner principles of Cancer are very vague.
As an overcompensation of Saturn, Cancer sometimes rushes into making strategic plans that usually turn out to be impracticable.
