Sabian Symbol
8 Cancer

“This Symbol speaks of naivety, innocence, beauty and delight in simple things. The young child is trying to grasp at things that seem elusive and fleeting. You may find yourself unable to grasp the meaning of some things that happen in your life, but still fascinated by what is unfolding. Keeping a sense of delight and fun while going after what you want is likely to ultimately bring you the satisfaction you desire. Innocently reaching out for experiences can bring rewards and beauty. Curiosity. Fascination with the illusory, grasping at abstractions. Childhood games. Objects that cannot be held or captured.
The Caution: Being distracted by simple irrelevancies. The frustration of not getting what one wants. Going after the “sparkling and shining things”, no matter how based in reality.”
