CANCER

CARDINAL WATER // THE INITIATING WATERESS
Gift of the deep emotional purge

☼ EMOTIONALLY PERCEPTIVE, CARING, INSPIRING

☽ MOODY, SELF-PROTECTIVE, HYPER-SENSITIVE

☯ ACUTE SENSITIVITIES TO ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO FEEL SAFE WHEN VULNERABLE

She is perceptive, caring and nurturing sensitive to the world around her and dedicated deeply to understanding the need for personal emotional security and sovereignty. This Maiden of Water is on a pursuit to protect that which matters most to her, which is always who is closest to her heart, including herself.

Cancer is soft, gentle, the lick of a glimmering wave on the shortline. The first drop of rain on your head. She will show you how to access your subtle self and thus experience the vast range of your emotional potential. She is inspiring, empathetic and can tend to be focused on the self so much that it can isolate others (through isolating herself!).

Her dharma in this lifetime is to venture out from her own inner nest more and share her nurturing, intuitive and healing gifts with others and illuminate theirs to them.

In light, she is emotionally perceptive, inspiring and loving with great emotional capacity. In shadow, she can be moody, self protective, hypersensitive and isolating.

Integrated, she uses her acute sensitivities and empathic nature to encourage others to share their vulnerabilities in a safe, well held space.
