Easy Step-by-Step Drawing

1
Draw two small circles side by side. These will be the tops of the crab's claws.
2
From each circle, draw a large, symmetrical number '6' or a backward '9'. They should mirror each other, facing inwards.
3
Connect the bottoms of the two loops with a slight upward curve. This forms the crab's body and completes the classic Cancer symbol.
4
Optionally, add two small dots above the circles to represent eyes, giving your crab some character.

Tip: Think of it as drawing two spirals or snails facing each other. Use smooth, flowing lines for a gentle look.

Symbol Meaning

The intertwined spirals represent the Crab's protective shell, its cyclical nature, and the moon's influence. The lines symbolize the Crab's sideways movement and connection between emotion and protection.
