The White Lily & The Crab

The primary flower symbol for the Cancer zodiac sign (June 21 - July 22) is the White Lily. It perfectly captures Cancer's essence: purity of emotion, nurturing love, and a deep connection to home and family.

The crab, their zodiac animal, symbolizes a protective shell, tenacity, and a strong link to the moon's cycles.
