Hey, my name is Chris Brennan, and you're listening to the Astrology podcast.

In this episode, I'm going to be talking about a deep dive into the meaning of the zodiac

sign cancer and joining me today are astrologers, Steph Coifman and Achudabava Dawes.

Welcome both of you. Thank you so much. Thanks for having me.

Yeah, so this is the fourth entry in my series on the signs of the zodiac where I've been going

through each of the signs and doing a full two-hour discussion where we really plumb the depths of

the meaning and the symbolism of each of the signs. And in this series, I've been getting

astrologers that have placements in those signs that way they can speak to them a little bit more

directly from their own experience, a little bit of draw on some of their own experience

with that archetype. So both of you have some placements in cancer, right? What are your stuff?

I have sun and mid-heaven. So in mid-heaven, that's pretty good. It's a day chart, right?

Okay. And what about you, Drew? Yeah, I've got the sun and mercury together in cancer.

Sun and mercury? All right. That's also pretty good. So we got two sun sign cancers.

Well, so those are your, that's your, both of your resumes for this episode, which I think is

pretty strong. All right. Well, let's jump right into it. So the first thing is I wanted to show

just a diagram for those watching the video version of this of the signs of the zodiac and how

cancer is the fourth sign of the zodiac. We've already gotten through areas. The first sign in

the tropical zodiac that follows after the spring equinox. Then we have the second sign Taurus,

then Gemini, and then finally cancer. So in terms of the stats for cancer, this is the symbol for

cancer. The animal totem for cancer is a crab traditionally, and that's actually what the word

cancer means. It comes from a Latin term, which comes from a Greek term, which means the crab.

So cancer is a feminine or an octernal sign because it's an even sign in terms of odd versus even.
