CANCER
Cancer, is a water sign, and ruled by the Moon. The Moon in this case is like a huge mirror to Cancer, always reflecting back to himself, either his own energy, or those who surround him. The Moon tends to pull him back through habit to what is comfortable.
A highly emotional energy, given to many moods, which are like the four seasons, ever changing, with many flavours and colours. These moods are like a transformation through death. Before every new cycle which needs to birth itself, there has to be a death to the old cycle. Cancer never addresses issues directly, but prefers the sideways approach, which can be manipulative and at times possessive.
Cancerians love home and family, a need to be needed, and a great Mother image.
COLOUR: TURQUOISE: The colour turquoise is representative if the creative force of Cancer, plus the oceanic wavelengths of their psyche. A colour with little boundary, this depicts the expansion of Cancer’s fluidity. Turquoise also has an energetic numbness, and this reflects the instinctive behaviour of Cancer.
SYMBOL:
Hheith The symbol is a loop or spiral, representing continuous movement. Hheith is to do with all the senses, inspiration, imagination and the past. It represents "feeling", "experience" and "sense", all the things most important to Cancer.
Faces in the circle: The many faces and moods of cancer. Including the Grim Reaper, depicting the cycles of death and rebirth of the cancerian energy.
Moon Sun and Clouds: The Moon is not direct light as in the sun, but has illusion and delusion. It lights dimly but is powerful in its ability to move great oceans. This is the intense pull of emotions within the Cancerian. The Sun is their warm nurturing side. Dark Stormy clouds of moods. The crab indicates timidity.
Octopus: Representing the need for shelter, intelligence, security, possessive and fluidity.
