NB. The star sign 'with borders' artworks are the same as seen in the Treasure Hunt Book. The symbols in the border's meanings are linked to the star sign. The border is added to the size of the star sign artwork making these prints much larger as seen above in the size comparison between artwork without border and with border.

This is the Crab Apple stretch of the Kennet and Avon Canal in Pewsey – because Cancer is represented by the crab and making crab apple jelly is a very Wiltshire pursuit.

In the sky above the boughs of the apple tree, within cancer’s ruler, the moon, a ghosting of the hare ‘in-the-moon’ can be seen as it sits beside the constellation of Cancer which outlines a crab.

The canal boat also is the ‘lighthouse of welcome’, words to describe Cancerians themselves.

The hare sits in the foreground washing itself in a ‘crab-like’ position. The red of the barge indicates the warmth in their personality to the people they love and will show great loyalty to both friends and family.
