The pairing in Cancer is rare but not unique. What's going on is something so simple that it is easily overlooked. And that is *pairing*. VMs Cancer is the last of a string of five zodiac houses in which the occupants of the medallion(s) are paired. Like Pisces, Cancer has two animals in one medallion. This is a pairing through combination.
Aries and Taurus, on the other hand, have single animals in two medallions. This is a pairing through division.
Pisces and Cancer are aquatic animals in pairs. Therefore, a pair of pairs. Aries and Taurus are land animals and pair up the same way. Thus, making a pair of paired pairs.
VMs Gemini is a man and a woman, potentially a marriage, not the alternative twins, Castor and Pollux. Marriage, as a joining of male and female, is the pairing of complementary opposites. That is, things do not need to be the same in order to make a valid pairing.
Pairing is important, particularly with allegorical interpretations, because singular items allow a much wider range of hypothetical possibilities than those in which the valid information has been designated by pairs. Pairing allows the artist to create a more restrictive path of interpretation.
The background for this is from the laws of Deuteronomy. Deuteronomy requires two witnesses. It says so twice.
Deut. 17:6 & 19:15
