Cancer (♋︎) is the fourth astrological sign in the Zodiac, originating from the constellation of Cancer. It spans from 90° to 120° celestial longitude.

In astrology, Cancer is a water sign, alongside Pisces, and Scorpio. It is one of the six negative signs, and its ruling "planet" is the Moon. Though some depictions of Cancer feature a lobster or crayfish, the sign is most often represented by the crab, based on the Karkinos.
