Cancer is a water sign, and all the waters of the Earth are associated with Cancer. Cancer is ruled by the Moon. Water carries the lunar principle, as it reflects the qualities of the environment. The waters represent life and the waters of the higher plane are the ethers.
Cancer is considered the abode of Varuna, the supracosmic intelligence that rules over the hidden potencies of the ether. He is symbolically represented as a boy of five years and with four arms. Riding a white dragon, he moves through the waters of space. Thereby he draws lines of power into the ether with a trident in his hand. An extract of a painting illustrating the symbolism of Varuna – which originally was not created for the month of Cancer:
