[view source]Cultural Context
Cancer is a water sign ruled by the Moon, symbolized by the crab. Delphinium flowers bloom in early summer during Cancer season (June 21 – July 22). Albert Hofmann's first intentional LSD trip on April 19, 1943 — known as Bicycle Day — has been widely reproduced as blotter art. The piece references the moon side of that blotter, connecting to Cancer's lunar rulership. Cancer and Leo share the same Bicycle Day blotter art as their background — Cancer takes the moon side, Leo takes the sun side.
