The Story of Cancer
Cancer, symbolised by the crab, is a sign deeply connected to the moon and the element of water. In Greek mythology, this constellation commemorates the crab that Hera sent to distract Hercules during his battle with the Hydra. Though Hercules won the battle, Hera placed the crab among the stars, giving birth to the constellation of Cancer, symbolising protection and sacrifice.
Cancer Personality Traits
Those born between 21 June and 22 July are known for their:
- Emotional depth and intuition
- Nurturing and protective nature
- Creativity and imagination
- Sentimentality and attachment to home
- Tenacity and determination
Cancer Birthstone and Healing Crystals
Moonstone (Birthstone): Bathed in the Moon's silvery glow, moonstone perfectly reflects the Cancerian's emotional nature. It's believed to promote inner balance, sharpen intuition, and offer a cloak of protection – qualities that resonate deeply with Cancer's nurturing and sensitive soul.
Pearl: Emerging from the heart of the ocean, the pearl shares a profound connection with this water sign. Symbolising purity and sincerity, it's said to soothe the turbulent tides of emotion that Cancers can sometimes experience.
Ruby: Cancers, known for their selfless nature, often expend a great deal of energy caring for others. A ruby can help them replenish this lost vitality. It's also believed to boost confidence and bring a sense of security and stability, something Cancers often crave
Emerald: This verdant crystal is particularly potent for Cancer. When worn, it's believed to enhance the emotional stability and well-being inherent to this sign. The emerald's link to nature and balance resonates with Cancer's nurturing side, amplifying their commitment to relationships and sentimental nature.
Aquamarine: As a fellow water element crystal, Aquamarine is known as the gemstone of the sea and is linked to the calming qualities of water. Complementing Cancers beautifully, aquamarine is believed to bring a calming presence and encourage clarity of mind.
