Cancer

Cancer, The Crab, is the fourth symbol of the Zodiac. Anyone born between 22 June and 22 July is born under this sign. Cancer the Crab comes from part of a tale of the twelve labours of Hercules – his battle with the Hydra. It is a cardinal sign, and is ruled by the Moon. Its symbol is  Cancer, representing the crab’s claws. Cancer is one of the four water signs.
