The Cancer<\/a>\u00a0symbol, or glyph, is designed to depict the Crab and its claws. This is the Cancer\u00a0horoscope symbol and the character that represents this zodiac sign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each zodiac<\/a> sign has a special symbol, or glyph, that\u2019s associated with the mythology behind it. For example, Sagittarius is ruled by the mythical Centaur\u2014the Archer\u2014so its glyph resembles an arrow pointed skyward. Cancer is symbolized by the Crab and its glyph depicts a sideways “69,” representing crab claws or a woman\u2019s breast, since Cancer is the sign of womanhood and motherhood. <\/span>Almost all of the 12 zodiac signs are depicted by an animal, with the exception of Gemini, Virgo and Libra. The Cancer symbol also has a unique meaning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What animal is the Cancer symbol?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Cancer<\/a> horoscope symbol is the Crab. The Crab sign symbol is usually depicted as a very simple graphic meant to resemble a sideways “69” to represent crab claws or a woman’s breast. Cancer dates<\/a> typically fall from June 21 to July 22. Sensitivity, caring, moodiness, femininity, home and creativity <\/span>are the main Cancer traits<\/a>. Thus, the Cancer symbol of the Crab expresses the nurturing, feminine qualities of this zodiac sign. As a compassionate water sign<\/a> and a self-starting cardinal sign<\/a>, Cancer is the caretaker of the zodiac, the sign that is also known for establishing a sense of home, family, roots and children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
