I also noticed a quote in Wikipedia:

"In the symbolism of alchemy, Cancer is related to the process of 
dissolution, i.e., a process by which a substance is dissolved in a 
liquid like an acid."

Does anyone know what characters are born between June 21 and July 
22 during the sign of Cancer?

Who would represent the dissolution process?
