'''Cancer''' (♋ and Latin for ''crab'') is one of the twelve constellations of the [[zodiac]]. Cancer is small and dim, and to many it does not resemble a crab. It lies between [[Gemini]] to the west and [[Leo]] to the east, Lynx to the north and Canis Minor and Hydra to the south.

== Mythology ==
As the constellation vaguely resembles a crab, it may, together with the Hydra constellation, form the basis of the myth of the [[Lernaean Hydra]], one of [[The Twelve Labors]] of [[Heracles]], with which it is associated.

== Astrology ==
The [[Astrology|astrological sign]] Cancer (June 21 - July 22) is associated with the constellation. In some cosmologies, Cancer is associated with the classical [[Elements|element]] [[Water]], and thus called a Water Sign (with [[Scorpio]] and [[Pisces]]). It is also one of the four cardinal signs (along with [[Aries]], [[Libra]], and [[Capricorn]]). It is ruled by the [[Moon (astrology)|Moon]]. Its polar opposite is [[Capricorn]]. Each astrological sign is assigned a part of the body, viewed as the seat of its power. Cancer rules the breasts and belly. The symbol for Cancer is the crab. Cancerian qualities include tenacity, powerful and tempestuous emotions, strong moods, a fierce protectiveness of family and country, a strong ability to nurture others, and a resistance to external change, but negative traits include a tendency to get too emotionally attached, mood swings, and mild paranoia.
