🌌 ORIGIN & HISTORY

Cancer’s roots trace back to the earliest goddess-based civilizations, where it was not just “the crab,” but a symbol of the great womb, the divine feminine, and lunar mysteries. In ancient Kemet (Egypt), it was the sign of the Scarab—a solar being that rolled the Sun across the sky, symbolizing rebirth and soul passage.

In Atlantean systems, Cancer ruled the Temple of Re-Memory—the domain of ancestral water, matriarchal protection, and emotional sovereignty. It marked the height of summer and the cosmic portal through which souls enter incarnation.
