When do you find the constellation cancer?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

You must provide location. It is very important because stars visible in one area does not mean they are visible in others. I live close to the line of the cancer tropic and for example I am able to see the cancer constellation on nightly basis.

Answer 3

The constellation Cancer is most easily seen in the Northern Hemisphere during the winter months, particularly in January. It can be found in the zodiac and is located between the constellations Gemini and Leo. Look for a group of stars that form a shape resembling a crab.
