Original artwork description:

Cancer Cardinal Water, is the fourth sign in the Astrological Horoscope.
Dates are usually : June 21 - July 22

In this 2012 series, the Faces of the Astrological Signs,
I have depicted Cancer with flowing tumbling hair to represent the strong Cardinal Water.
The Astrological glyph which represents the crab's claws, is like a swirling pool before her face and the stars in the Constellation of Cancer are tumbling through her hair.
In this, as in the two other Water signs, Scorpio and Pisces I have kept the palette cool and blue.
This image (as has Pisces) has been reproduced in the excellent 2020 publication by Taschen: The Library of Esoterica (Astrology).

Astrology:
This is the third series of astrological illustrations that I've made in my career.
The first was for Cosmopolitan Horoscope Page in 1990 (large pastel drawings)
The second for Aura Soma Colour therapy Company in 1999 (watercolours which are a published Goddess book available on Amazon)
This, third series I painted for myself in 2012/2013, again watercolour but concentrating on the faces.
