Chinese Word, 月 (Click to see the stroke order) means Moon, pronounced as "Yue4". 
This word is also a radical index, so you find out the word "有 (click to see the stroke order)" belongs to "月" category. 

"有", the word means existence, and Taiwanese artist Lee Sun Don created a series of works "Moon Seriese" to express what he learned from Buddha's Nature and existence. 

 "Moon represents my heart" , the popular Chinese song maybe also leads you to more comprehension of the idea from a lover's Mind.




In another work created in Master Lee Sun Don draw the work "Diamond Sutra 9" on the 53rd International Art Exhibition, 2009 - La Biennale di Venezia to cope with the "1=∞" the quality of Buddha nature, which was also the theme for artist's exhibition (Theme - Create & Change: Internal = External, 1=∞, Site Information)

According to Astrology, Cancer (June 22- July 22, )  is ruled by the Moon (Ref: How Your Ruling Planet Defines You)  "The Moon is known for its regularly changing appearance and mood.......Life slides through continual growth and contraction; incorporating this natural ebb and flow into your lifestyle is key." 

From Lee's work Diamond Sutra 9, one could see his nature just like the Moon, which lights up the otherwise-dark night, and heartfelt words/gestures help light the paths for everyone around him.
