A glowing crescent moon cradles the top of the piece ~ Cancer’s celestial ruler and the great mother of the zodiac. Below it, the downward-pointing triangle appears, the alchemical symbol for water, anchoring Cancer in this element of feeling, ::: flow ::: and deep inner tides.
At the heart, the sacred crab emerges: Cancer’s guardian and mirror. Armoured yet tender, it embodies the paradox of this sign ~ a being that protects by holding close, nourishes through presence, and finds safety not in walls, but in meaningful bonds. Its spiral-etched body speaks to memory, lineage & emotional intelligence stored not so much in the mind • but in the soma < < <
Twin moons flank the crab as divine sentinels, pouring crystalline water into the root circle below. This circle speaks of emotional security ~ the kind that isn't rigid, but rhythmic. A structure soft enough to hold grief and wonder in the <•same breath•> .
Cancer teaches us that true sanctuary doesn't need us escaping ~ it’s more about embracing what lives inside with devotion. When we are scattered, hardened, or closed, Cancer calls us home. To feel. To tend. To let ~softness~ be strength. And to remember: it is safe to care.
The fourth c0ding from the full B0DY_12 Collection™ by ALYSS.
