Cancer ♋
The glyph for Cancer, resembling a pair of intertwined circles or the claws of a crab, symbolizes self-protection, intuition, and the cyclical nature of emotions. It represents the shell the Crab carries—a hard exterior guarding a soft, sensitive interior.
Ruled by the Moon, Cancer is the nurturer of the zodiac. Its energy is receptive, caring, and deeply connected to home, family, and emotional memory. As a Cardinal sign, Cancer initiates in the realm of feelings and security.
