Keywords & Cancer in a Nutshell (including a bit of technical stuff)
Cancer is the sign that kicks off the summer, aligning with the summer solstice, the longest day of the year. The first day of Cancer season, the Summer Solstice, is celebrated by contemporary witches and pagans, some of whom visit Stonehenge and attempt to recreate what little we know about ancient pagan rituals (i.e.: of the ancient Celts and Druids) at this world-renowned stone circle. Since it begins a season, like Aries, Cancer is a cardinal sign. Cancer is also the first water sign of the zodiac. (Unless you’re an oddball like me who launched this entire series with the final sign of the zodiac, Pisces, which is also a water sign). What can I say, the alpha and the omega/the beginning and the end? 🙂
