CYCLES OF THE HEAVENSJULY - CANCER
As the Sun enters Cancer on 20th June, the mythic landscape of the year shifts from the sparkling clarity of the lofty heights of air dropping down into the tidal ebb and flow of water. Here this cardinal water sign draws us into our emotional and feeling life where experience of the world is mediated through a matrix of visceral knowing and instinctual response. This bodily awareness, ruled by the Moon, holds within it knowledge of our emotional needs of what feeds us and sustains us, and this brings in its wake a sensitivity to and awareness of those around us. Here in the protective sign of the Crab, we are moored in the emotional container of family, from where we are able to extend nurture and safe containment to others, generating a sense of home. And, as the Crab lives at the interface of sand and tide, here too we can cross between the boundaries that demarcate the tangible and intangible worlds to enter the inner domain that exists beyond physical form. This interior world is the place of imagination where the ability to know and create the world through image rather than intellect holds sway. Here we are sustained by the layers of images and sensations of memory anchoring us into who we are and creating our sense of belonging. And arising within this realm of fluidity, we discover that through our inner imaginative faculty we can attune to the incipient images in our soul enabling the new possibilities of our lives to emerge into being from the fertile waters of these rich interior depths.
