- Though some depictions of Cancer feature a lobster, the sign is most often represented by the crab, based on the Karkinos, a giant crab that harassed Heracles during his fight with the Hydra.

 

- Cancer is the fourth of the 12 signs of the zodiac, which begins its cycle at the start of summer during Cancer season - which falls around June 21-July 22.

 

- It’s important to understand the energy of this sign, as various planets travel (or “transit”) through Cancer all year long, activating this sign’s watery energy for everyone, regardless of your Sun sign.
