The sign of Cancer belongs to the element of Water, just like Scorpio and Pisces. Guided by emotion and their heart, they could have a hard time blending into the world around them. Being ruled by the Moon, phases of the lunar cycle deepen their internal mysteries and create fleeting emotional patterns that are beyond their control. As children, they don't have enough coping and defensive mechanisms for the outer world, and have to be approached with care and understanding, for that is what they give in return.
Cancer is often associated with one of the fiercest, most widely respected Olympian goddesses, Artemis. She was the goddess of Moon, the ruling planet of Cancer, but was also known as the goddess of hunting, wilderness, childbirth, virginity, and as a protectress of young girls. In Greek mythology, Artemis was usually portrayed as a young maiden with a hunting bow and arrows.
