Cancer Mythology
Cancer star sign meaning in mythology. In ancient Egypt, Cancer was associated with the scarab or dung beetle, representing the dawn Sun-god Khephri, a symbol of fertility. In Greek mythology, Cancer represented the giant crab that continually nipped at the feet of Hercules as he battled with the poisonous, nine-headed monstrous Hydra.
Cancer Star Sign Personality
The Caregiver – to embrace the “inner child” and to give sustenance in order to provide a safe harbour. To realize that the security we are all searching for is not external to ourselves since external security is ultimately an illusion. The Caregiver takes responsibility for the nurturing of inner security and embraces change relative to this need.
Cancer Shadow Self
Moody, attached, and insecure. Oversensitive, emotional, and cranky. There is an inability to parent and nurture the self or others and to blame post-conditioning for all problems. Eating disorders.
Cancer Constellation
Cancer the Crab is the 31st largest constellation in the sky. It is distant and very dim and contains two stars with orbiting planets. Another notable feature of the Crab is a yellow dwarf binary star known as Acubens (the Claws) situated approximately 40 light-years away. Classified as a rare “super metal-rich” star it is one of the top 100 target stars for NASA’s Terrestrial Planet Finder.
Cancer Brightest Star
The brightest star in the Cancer constellation is Al Tarf (the End or the Tip), a giant orange star situated on the hindfoot of the Crab, 290 light-years from Earth. A grasping and shrewd energy, this star is always ready to fight. © Crystal Gaze Astrology
