Myth & Ruling Planet
The Moon
Your ruler is the Moon, governing tides, rhythms, and the unconscious. This explains your cyclical nature, changing moods, and powerful intuition.
In Greek myth, Cancer is associated with the crab sent by Hera to distract Hercules during his fight with the Hydra. Though crushed, its loyalty was placed in the stars by the goddess.
"The shell is armor, but the heart within is the treasure."
