6 Tammuz
6 תַּמּוּז
The Month of Tammuz (תַּמּוּז)
Tammuz is a month of intense summer heat and historical tragedy. The 17th of Tammuz is a fast day marking the breach of Jerusalem's walls (both in 586 BCE and 70 CE) and begins the Three Weeks of mourning leading up to Tisha B'Av. Despite its somber associations, Tammuz also contains the potential for great rectification — the very challenges of this month carry within them the seeds of future redemption.

The Crab (Sartan) represents the power of sight and emotional depth. In Torah thought, Tammuz's mazal connects to the sense of vision — both physical and spiritual. The crab carries its home on its back, reflecting deep attachment to family and heritage. Those born under Sartan are perceptive, protective, and deeply feeling.
