One of the most well known constellation is "Cancer" also known more commonly as "the crab". I have chosen this stunning pattern of stars because I myself am i cancer as my horoscope and find it quite beautiful even though it is one of the dimmest constellations which can't be seen with the naked eye. But if you were to look for this lovely constellation you would be searching for an upside down Y right next to the constellations of Leo and Gemini. If you want to see this constellation the best and only time to see it in the northern hemisphere is in early spring and in the southern hemisphere in the autumn. the sign only comes out in these times because it is considered one of the four cardinal signs that signify the passage from one season to the next. Along with being a cardinal constellation it is also one of the water constellations. As shown this constellation represents many important things and is very interesting.

Cancers constellation is made through a story of fighting. Cancer which is represented as a giant crab in the myth was sent to attack Hercules during his second out of twelve labors. He was sent because hercules killed his family. Hera sent the giant crab to fight him back but he died when hercules took club to the crab. This myth does sound very harsh but that was how the constellation came to be.
Even though most people believe the myth of how Hera sent the giant crab to attack Hercules as the way the cancer constellation was created there are other beliefs. I believe in this myth of how the constellation was created:
The twins(known as gemini) were walking along the beaches of the world
with Leo the Lion by their side. When all of a sudden they heard a scream
coming from behind a mountain. they zoomed off in the direction it came
