Cancer is not one animal. It is sixteen, and which one is yours depends on your personality type.
Cancer is the Crab, and the bestiary is the whole strange world of animals that build shells, borrow them, or dispense with them entirely and hide by other means. Crabs, molluscs and cephalopods. Cancer is the sign most associated with protection, and these are the creatures that solved that problem most inventively. One carries a home it did not build and must periodically abandon. Another has no shell at all and instead changes colour faster than an eye can follow. The sixteen are sixteen answers to the same defensive question.

You are thinking several moves ahead of the conversation and you have decided, deliberately, not to show it. The Cuttlefish of the Obsidian Veil can change not just its colour but its texture, its apparent shape, and its luminescence in under a second, producing patterns that hypnotise prey, confuse predators, and communicate with other cuttlefish on a frequency nothing else in the water can intercept.

You move through the world releasing colour and form that persists long after you have passed through. The Nudibranch of the Wandering Colour is one of the most visually extraordinary creatures on Earth, each individual a different combination of vivid colour, pattern and form, as if the ocean decided to conduct an endless experiment in what beauty could become if given complete freedom.

One for every remaining personality type. Yours is among them.
Cardinal water ruled by the Moon. Cardinal signs initiate, and Cancer initiates the emotional half of the wheel. The Moon governs tides and cycles, which is why so many of these animals are shaped by the rhythm of shore and shell, growth and moult, exposure and retreat.
