"Cancer was held by the Sages to be the House of the Moon, as the Moon was
believed to have been in Cancer at the Creation. It was respected as Horoscope
of the World, as the sign nearest the Zenith. The learned Berossus declared that
our earth shall be submerged when all planets are grouped in Cancer. The
Chaldean Magi and the Platonists taught their disciples that souls descend from
Heaven into human bodies through Cancer, the Gate of Humanity."
