Certainly, only one animal was depicted, whether it was a crab, a lobster, or a crayfish, depending on the geographical area of the manuscript.
The fact that there are two lobsters in the Voynich manuscript is yet another oddity, but I believe it implies a greater understanding of the astronomical nature of this zodiac sign. Duality is well captured in the symbol of Cancer as the number 69 seen from the side.
As I said before, the astronomical meaning of the sign of Cancer is that the Sun goes backward, returning to the south after reaching the summer solstice. For the same reason, the sign of Libra is a scale, since it represents the autumn equinox when nights become equal to days again.
