Characteristics of the Crab
There are five main directions in which the symbolism of the Crab can be used to describe the character of the Cancer individual.
The first and most suggestive of all refer to the Crab carrying its shell everywhere in order to get shelter in case of danger. Just the same, Cancerians feel the need to have a space of their own in which they can retreat from the hardships of the world and in which they can be alone with their feelings.
The Cancer native is a highly emotional individual who is sometimes insecure about his owns abilities and who needs constant reminders of his capacity. Just like the ties in the sea, Cancer’s mood constantly swings between highs and lows, although most of these natives long for emotional stability.
The Crab seems to cling with its pincers to anything it gets the chance to. Similarly, the Cancerian can attach to other people and be very loving and loyal but also clingy and pretentious. The Cancer native is a master in using emotional tools to convince and even manipulate those around.
The Crab cannot really move forward and its movements are rather sideways. This is similar to Cancerians, whom, despite making great leaders seem to be taking less travelled routes to reach their destination. They are known to sometimes choose the more complicated alternative.
