So it's a little bit strange that like there is a zodiac sign that is Cancer. I-Like I get to be a Tauros, that's cool- a bull. And you get to be the worst thing ever.
How did that happen? Well Hippocrates-Who was like the Greek guy who did medicine first and wrote stuff down and then everybody like looked at his notes for thousands of years.
He decided to call Cancer, like name it after crabs. He was like that-I don't know, i'm not in his brain he didn't write down "Here's why i'm naming it after crabs." It would have been nice! Because we've been arguing about it for thousands of years! but we don't know! He just decided to name it after crabs.
People have lots of guesses, that like it's the tenaciousness of the disease is like a crab holding on, or that it's just the physical hardness, or the shape can sometimes be reflective of certain cancers...
I don't know! nobody knows... We're stuck with it though, sorry to all the Cancers.
