Cancer runs from 1° to 30° of the zodiac — thirty degrees, and so thirty Sabian Symbols. Each is a single received image, dictated to clairvoyant Elsie Wheeler by astrologer Marc Edmund Jones in 1925. Together they form a sequence: a thirty-step arc through the territory Cancer governs.
As a water sign in the cardinal mode, ruled by Moon, Cancer colours every image that falls in it — a current of feeling and absorption — energy that wants to merge, sense, and remember.
