When do you find the constellation cancer?
Mostly, you can't. The classical astrological signs are "Sun Signs"; that is the constellation that the Sun WAS in about 2500 years ago. Because of the "precession of the equinoxes", the Sun is actually one zodiac sign earlier now; during Cancer, the Sun is actually in the constellation of Gemini. But even so, at the beginning of July, the constellation Cancer is very low in the western sky at sunset; since none of the Cancer stars are especially bright, you probably won't see it.
