Cancer. Artwork representing Cancer the Crab
Cancer. Artwork representing Cancer the Crab (22 June to 22 July), 4th of the 12 star signs. Astrologers claim that the star sign (also called sun sign) that you are born under will influence your character and destiny. Each sign is associated with one of the classical elements (fire, earth, air, or water). Cancer is a water sign. The star signs originated as the 12 constellations (star patterns) of the zodiac, the path that the Sun traces in the sky as the Earth orbits the Sun during the year. Ancient astronomers used them to track the passing of the year. Their shapes in the sky inspired many myths. R550/508-519 shows artworks of all 12 star signs

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Cancer, the fourth sign of the zodiac and symbolized by the Crab. As one of the 12 star signs, Cancer is believed to influence an individual's character and destiny according to astrologers. Representing a water sign, this artwork beautifully captures the essence of Cancer's emotional depth and intuitive nature. The origins of these star signs can be traced back to the 12 constellations that form the zodiac, which follows the path traced by the Sun in relation to Earth throughout the year. Ancient astronomers relied on these patterns not only for tracking time but also as a source of inspiration for countless myths. In this symbolic illustration, we witness a mythical representation of Cancer through vibrant colors and intricate details. The woodcut technique used adds a touch of traditional artistry while emphasizing its conceptual significance. This single figure embodies all that Cancer represents - sensitivity, nurturing qualities, and strong intuition. Whether you believe in astrology or simply appreciate its artistic value, this print serves as a visual reminder of our connection with celestial bodies and their influence on our lives. It invites contemplation about how our birth under specific star signs may shape who we are and what lies ahead in our unique journeys through life.
