Humans have had millennia to really think about these signs and the different correlations to them. There’s so much that even the ones I am presenting aren’t even close to everything involved with the sign in question. There’s so much more like what body parts, what tarot card, flowers, crystals, you get the idea. Use this as a jumping off point and do your own research. I am sure there’s a specific pizza associated with each of these signs too. So here we go. Fourth on our list of zodiac signs is Cancer.
Can I just interject here for a moment and say that Cancer is a really unfortunate name for a zodiac? In particular this sign. They have enough problems without also being associated with an invasive deadly disease. Yes, I know that cancer is Latin for crab, but still. Let’s move with the times, people!
Cancer is the crab constellation and another of Ptolemy’s zodiac signs. There are some associations to the crab that pinched Hercules in the foot, but I honestly think that’s just back peddling on behalf of the mythology department.
People born under the sign of cancer are more likely to get the disease cancer. No, not really. I’m just messing with you. But really these folks are emotional and… crabby. And that is the truth! Seriously these folks are all sorts of caught up in emotions. Their mope game is super strong as the kids say these days. With exceptional memories and strong inclinations to family, these Cancerians are prone to be sentimental and weepy. It would be smart to bring plenty of tissues if you plan on spending time with one of them. They will definitely project more emotions at you than you are capable of handling, so be cautious. On the flip side, if you are conflicted about something, these are the people to help you sort out how you truly feel about something. So to sum up- bring tissues, brace for emotional thunderstorms, and be prepared to become family.
