Meaning
Cancer is cardinal water. Cardinal signs open each season and begin things. Its traditional ruler is Moon, which acts most freely here; the planet that rules the opposite sign, Capricorn, is in detriment. Medieval medicine assigned it the breast and stomach, the basis of the zodiac-man diagrams in old almanacs.
Practice
Workings that suit Cancer are timed with the Moon or Sun in the sign and opened in the hour of Moon. Contemplate The Chariot as its gate in the tarot.
