The crab skillfully juggles moon phases styled in Asian mandala patterns, symbolizing the sign's deep connection to intuition and emotion. In the distance, thatched beach huts from South America reinforce the theme of home and security. Surrounding the scene, hibiscus flowers from Oceania represent Cancer’s love for comfort and nature. Ancient Egyptian-styled stars from Africa twinkle in the sky, reflecting Cancer’s guiding light and dreamy nature. Above, the constellation Cygnus, prominent in Europe's summer sky, represents a swan, known for strong family bonds—a trait highly valued by Cancers.

"Cancer is the fourth sign of the zodiac (June 21–July 21), and it's represented by the crab. A cardinal water sign ruled by the moon, Cancer (called Karkata in Vedic astrology) energy is emotional, homey, and comforting. Here, we'll dive into the personality traits of Cancer and explore how this sign approaches life, love, career, and more.
Cancer is often associated with home, roots, and our emotional lives. Those born under this sign are often quite sensitive, able to perceive other people's feelings and moods. Cancers also tend to be very in tune with their environments. Like the moon mirrors the light of the sun, this sign can reflect the energy of the world around them."
