For this sign I used the White Waterlily and incorporated waves into the designs of the symbol, to sort of represent the water, which in most cases is the crab's habitat. I was kind of inspired by this sentence from the book, The Ultimate Birthday Book by Clare Gibson --
"Cancer is ruled by the Moon, the preserve of the goddess --the creator and destroyer -- which regulates the ebb and flow of water, the habitat of the crab and the element that governs Cancer."

could you explain about the physical correspondence and the polarity please, i'm a bit confused.

Thank you!
Physical Correspondence
"The zodiac signs were also thought to affect human health. In the microcosmic-macrocosmic thought ("as above, so below"), the macrocosm comprised the celestial components of the universe which were mirrored exactly in the microcosm ( the human body), over which they exerted a corresponding influence. This belief is graphically demonstrated in the medieval figure of the "zodiacal man", in which each sign of the zodiac is strategically placed over the part of the body that is said to govern. The theory underlying such representations profoundly influenced both medical diagnosis and treatment."
Polarity
"Each sign is accorded either feminine or masculine characteristics, which Ptolemy mentioned: "as the day is followed by the night, and as the male is coupled with the female." Each may also be balanced against its opposite, or polar, counterpart in a conflicting-complimenting relationship similar to that of yin and yang. Thus Aries is paired with Libra; Taurus with Scorpio; Gemini with Sagittarius; Cancer with Capricorn; Leo with Aquarius; and Virgo with Pisces."
I hope this helps!
