The crab of Hera
While Heracles fought the Lernaean Hydra, the goddess Hera, who hated him, sent a giant crab to bite his foot. Heracles crushed it under his heel and kept fighting. Hera placed the crab among the stars as a reward for trying.
It is a faint constellation, almost invisible unless the sky is very dark. At its centre is a star cluster, the Beehive, which in antiquity was used to anticipate the weather: if it vanished, rain was coming. Its ruler is the Moon, which is where the sign's link with sensitivity and care for those close to you comes from. The crab wears its shell on the outside, and tradition takes it as the image of someone who protects what is soft.
Myths come in several versions. This is one of the most widespread.
