| | Quite possibly, Cancer's only claims to fame is inclusion in the Signs of the Zodiac and the beautiful Praesepe (meaning "hive," "crib" or "manger"), also known as the Beehive Cluster. | | | This dim constellation, the faintest of the entire Zodiac, contains no stars brighter than fourth magnitude, none of which are distinguishable by the naked eye. | | | Possibly associated with a similar belief, the Ancient Egyptians thought of this area of the sky as a scarab, in reference to their concept that an invisible celestial scarab beetle pushed the Sun across the heavens. |

| | [1] The opposite constellation, Capricorn, represented the 'Gate of the Gods', where souls of the departed ascended back to heaven. | | | As the sign of the Sun's greatest elevation, Cancer was considered nearest to the highest point of heaven - thus the constellation was recognised as 'the Gate of Men' through which souls descended to Earth from heaven. | | | Similarly, the sphere of Saturn, the planetary ruler of Capricorn, is seen as the final realm in which ascending souls free themselves from earthly trappings upon death. |
