Description
Cancer is the nicest, sweetest, cutest girl you will ever meet - she likes all the classically feminine things, such as fashion and flowers, and especially romance: Cancer LOVES love! Her imagination is so powerful that she often gets carried away by her fantasies, and sometimes just a glimpse of a baby kitten or one look from a hunky guy can make her swoon.

Real Life Counterpart
The constellation of the greek zodiac known as Cancer (Crab), is linked with the second labor of the mighty hero Hercules, when he was assigned by Eurystheus to kill Lerna Hydra, a horrible water snake with a hundred heads.

As the story goes, in the midst of Hercules' struggle, Hera, who was the hero's worst enemy, ordered a giant crab to go and help the Hydra by digging its claws into Hercules' foot.

Howling with pain, the hero stamped on the crab furiously, crushing it to death.

Hera, being grateful for its support and in recognition of its attempt to help her, honored the crab by placing its image among the stars, as the constellation of Cancer.
