The Myth
For Jung's followers, the Sun means, in a female horoscope, the Animus, that is, the unconscious male image, and, in a male horoscope, the personal Shadow, that is, the repressed unconscious values. According to mythology, the Sun is represented by the god Apollo, who takes on its appearance. Apollo was, in Greek art, as Ducati said, "the ideal model of youth with a luminous intellect in a body impeccable in the freshness of flesh and the iron vigor of muscles". He can send diseases and heal with his arrows, which are at the same time beneficial or harmful, like the rays of the Sun.
Just as the excessive summer heat of the Sun is harmful to plants and animals, Apollo's anger can be fatal, as is revealed in the myth of Hyacinth. In every Leo there is the archetype of Apollo, and every Leo can go through this stage, just as in every Leo there is the archetype of Hercules, and they can go through this phase. Hercules was the most famous and popular of the Greek heroes, the protagonist of an endless number of legends. The myth says he was the son of Zeus and Alcmene, the wife of Amphion, whom Zeus fell in love with and whose honesty he deceived by presenting himself under the appearance of her absent husband. The goddess Hera, extremely jealous, felt a deep hatred for Hercules even before he was born, to the point of delaying his birth, to prevent him from coming into possession of the kingdom of Mycenae. At a few months old, Hercules strangled two snakes sent by Hera to kill him. The story tells that, with the complicity of Zeus and Athena, Hercules managed, through deception, to be nursed by Hera herself while she slept. The goddess, upon waking, pushed the child away, and the milk that splashed formed the Milky Way. However, the little milk Hercules took from the goddess was enough to give him immortality and apotheosis.
The Characteristics
He has the royalty and the qualities of the king of the forest from which he takes his name; he is authoritarian, bold, energetic; even when he presents himself in an opaque, aloof, neurotic way, he is actually trying to distinguish himself from the crowd, not to blend in.
Always keep in mind the famous line from Leo Nanni Moretti: "Will people notice me more if I don't go to the party, or if I go and stay alone in a corner without talking?". They are passionate, fiery, intelligent creatures, but often excessive, peculiar, annoying, in this without half measures. Those who live next to them must have the patience and irony to smooth out the corners, remembering that the generosity of a Leo as a friend or partner is munificent, worthy of a king.
Material
Corozo, or "Vegetable Ivory" or "Tagua", is made from the dried seed of the tropical plant "Phytelephas macrocarpa", usually called the elephant plant (Phytos = plant, elephas = elephant).
The plant, similar to that of the coconut, grows in the humid equatorial belt of central South America (Ecuador).
Each plant produces 8-10 infructescences a year, each containing 250 seeds. When fresh, they contain a milky white liquid that, after 9 months of maturation, solidifies and transforms into a white material entirely similar to animal ivory.
Corozo nuts, after drying, are cut into slices. The turned slice becomes a regular-sized washer.
The original color, from optical white to antique ivory, must be considered "the natural" par excellence.
Dyeing with natural earths emphasizes the shape and highlights its unique and extraordinary veins, very similar to root.

The Myth
The Moon, mistress of the unconscious and imagination, has its domicile in this sign. It is well known that Cancer is the most moody of the zodiac signs. Just as the Moon alternates four different phases in a month, so the Cancerian has imperceptible mood swings. Ancient astronomers, except those from Mesopotamia and the Mediterranean countries, soon discovered the link between the Moon and the tides. In medieval astrology, it was believed that the Moon controlled everything pertaining to water. Perhaps because it was thought that the Moon exerted influences, like the tide, on the liquids circulating in the body and particularly on the brain, it was believed for a long time that the Moon was connected with madness, making people precisely 'lunatic'. Science has also long ago demonstrated the existence of the lunar influence.
Mythology is full of them: lunar deities are indeed very numerous, but they all embody the archetype of the mother. Even the hunting goddess Artemis, the Roman Diana, known for her vengeance against those who, falling in love with her, sought her for her femininity, seems to have indulged her feminine maternal side by visiting the shepherd Endymion at night and bearing many children with him. Latona, the first wife of Zeus-Jupiter, represents the first of the Great Mothers and, like Hecate, is the castrating, oppressive, regressive, and selfish mother who prevents her child from cutting the umbilical cord. The problem of Cancer, often, is that of overcoming the relationship with the parents, accepting one's role, and experiencing reality with one's own eyes. Sicuteri says: "In this sphere are played out the archetypes of the mother and the son, man and the Moon, gestation and birth, the primary object relationship. If in the son always vibrates the ghost of Oedipus, in the Cancerian mother there is always a manifestation of Sophoclean Jocasta". Sophocles tells that Laius, king of Thebes, had a son from Jocasta, his legitimate wife, named Oedipus. Since prophecies had predicted that this son would kill his father by marrying his mother, Laius ordered his killing. Oedipus escaped his fate and was adopted by the king of Corinth, who hid from him that he was not the real father. When, as a young man, Oedipus learned of the predictions, he fled home so that destiny would not be fulfilled, but thus killed the real father, met by chance, and married his widow, Jocasta, the real mother, without knowing it.
In every Cancerian woman, therefore, there would be a mother ready to 'possess' her child in every way. Seasonally too, this sign corresponds to the triumph of the fertilizing, maternal, earthly forces; it is the time when seeds are formed, the grain ripens, and vegetation is at the peak of its splendor: it is the flowering of summer.
The Characteristics
Just as the crab proceeds unstably, now moving forward, now backward, so Cancer lives on memories while maintaining a sense of the present. It is well known that the little animal hides behind its fragile appearance a tenacity beyond the norm; it uses its hooked claws to cling on.
In the same way, the Cancerian is born with a tenacity that goes far beyond mere willpower. The shell, that is, the family, is something that is always carried with them, at least on an emotional and psychological level. They are extremely sweet, homebody individuals, predisposed to family and traditional values, but they are also endowed with an extraordinary analytical and introspective capacity: not for nothing do so many writers belong to this sign.

After drying, corozo nuts are cut into slices. The turned slice becomes a regular roundel.

Dyeing with natural earths emphasizes the shape and highlights its unique and extraordinary grain, very similar to that of burl wood.
