Cancer is the fourth astrological sign of the zodiac, located between Gemini and Leo and associated with the constellation of the same name. Its symbol is a crab in Latin and, together with Scorpio and Pisces, forms the triplicity of the Water signs. It is also one of the four cardinals, along with Aries, Libra and Capricorn. Cancerians are people born between June 21st and July 22nd, with slight variations in dates depending on the year. The legend behind the sign refers to the giant crab sent by Hera, queen of the Greek gods, to rescue the hydra, a reptilian monster with many heads. The crab bit Hercules' feet when he was fighting the terrible monster, but ended up being crushed. As a reward for his act, Hera turned him into the constellation Cancer forever.
