It spans from 90\u00b0 to 120\u00b0 celestial longitude. Under the tropical zodiac, the Sun transits this area between approximately June 22 and July 22.[2]In astrology, Cancer is the cardinal sign of the Water trigon, which is made up of Cancer, Pisces, and Scorpio. It is one of the six negative signs, and its ruling planet is the Moon. Though some depictions of Cancer feature a lobster or crayfish,[2] the sign is most often represented by the crab, based on the Karkinos. Cancer’s opposite sign is Capricorn.

When a trigon is influential, it is said to affect changes on earth. Cancer is said to be the house of Neptune and the exaltation of Jupiter, both astronomical bodies   over those born under Cancer.[6][7] Its ruling planet is the Moon. Due to the negative associations of the word “Cancer” with the disease of the same name, some astrologers refer to persons born under this sign as “moon children”.[13][14]Divine associations with Cancer in Renaissance astrology are Luna\/Diana, both goddesses that represent the Moon, Cancer’s ruling planet.

Naturalist Richard Hinckley Allen, in 1899, deemed Cancer the “most inconspicuous figure in the zodiac,” adding that its mythology “apologizes for its being there by the story that when the Crab was crushed by Hercules, for pinching his toes during a contest with the Hydra in the Marsh of Lerna, Juno exalted it to the sky.”In the artsDuring the Middle Ages, the zodiacal symbol of Cancer was included in devotional books and incorporated into monumental sculptures.[16] The depiction of Cancer as a crab is most prevalent in Mediterranean and Western European art.[16]In Dante Alighieri’s Paradiso, he makes reference to Cancer, writing:Thereafterward a light among them brightened,So that, if Cancer one such crystal had,Winter would have a month of one sole day.\u2014\u2009Dante Alighieri, ParadisoCancer is figured in Giovanni Maria Falconetto’s 1517 painting, Cancer, as the guardian of the city of Verona. The Cancer symbol is also depicted in Agostino di Duccio’s sculpture View of Rimini Under the Sign of Cancer (1450). In Giorgio Vasari’s fresco, the Chamber of Fortune, Cancer is represented in the northern compartment of the ceiling, pictured by Diana, holding the moon, along with a crab.GalleryCultural and historical depictions of CancerSee alsoReferences^ a b c “Cancer”.
