Mythology and Legends of the Cancer Constellation (Cancer - Crab)

The constellation Cancer (the Crab) is the first zodiac constellation named by a deity other than Zeus—it was created by Hera. The crab Crab is a giant, rather vicious creature, sent by Hera to harm the hero Heracles. However, Heracles easily killed the crab. Moved by grief over the death of her servant, Hera placed it in the sky as a constellation.

Yet they tend to be poor at expressing their inner feelings, quite sensitive (tender-hearted) and emotionally fragile.

The inherent nature of those born under Cancer is highly emotional, often melancholic and inclined toward unrealistic daydreaming. They frequently reminisce about past happy times, preferring to live in the past (this trait becomes more pronounced when Mercury is in Cancer), yet they can also grasp the present with stability. People born under Cancer have a strong will, and once they set a plan, they are determined to carry it out successfully. For personal gain, they sometimes overly generous (spend freely), needing to avoid unnecessary extravagance.

Those born under Cancer may exhibit extreme emotional behavior, with unstable moods and unexplained irritability. When answering others' questions, their responses often depend on their current mood, leading them to accept or refuse based on feelings.

Their personality typically oscillates between extremes, unstable, only finding calm when influenced by family life, as those born under Cancer are deeply devoted to family and cherish marital relationships.
