A great read. Happy solar return to you. Another fine example of Cancer is the gnostic Sophia. What also comes to mind is the anima. And like animas of so many, it is a hard shell to crack, but persistence pays off with wisdom and integration. Thanks again.
Frederick! This is a brilliant piece. I devoured it. For this double Gemini, Aqua rising with Mercury in Cancer, there is so much you’ve pondered and pieced together that dovetails with and sheds light on some of the gaps in my own ponderings about the split between matter and spirit and how spirit is transformed in the physical body (such a cancerian thing), but how messed up that relationship is culturally. Lately, I’ve been wrestling with my incorrigible propensity to attempt to live so many of my imaginings that my body is forever begging me to just stop!
2 of my sisters have Cancer moons and I was married to a Cancer rising man for almost 30 years and while I recognize the traits you write about in them, your point of view helps me so much to understand their internal experience. Thank you.
Merci !!! I will read again, Cancer ascendant here with south node and Jupiter in Cancer. Mom and artist. Wishing you a Happy solar return ! Bonne Fête ! x
"I think I’ve been working on pulling the ideas together here for over six months. This is why I charge people to read my work. The process of nailing the syntax down nearly kills me." AKA a creative giving birth! Loved every word and will read a few times to truly absorb. Also, Frederick...the art at top of article is absolutely stunning. What is it from?? And...agreed about your take on Hellensitic/trad astrology!
This is a piece I'll return to for a second read. You've packed so much to think about in relation to not only the sign, but to the always-on dichotomy of opposites. Bravo! Fred
What an amazing article! You hit on so very many salient points- and captured the signs essence ( in my humble opinion) beautifully♋️🦀
Happy Cancer season and Solar Return to you 🌞

You've written a rich paean to an underrated, misunderstood sign. I'm glad you charge for your work!

Vivian Robson was a man, not a woman.
LOL! Figures, another clueless dude writing about the sign.

Well written and with the Crabs association with the Ocean, consider your self a Golden South Sea Pearl or the priceless Tahitian Black Pearl. 🎈
