How
to Treat your Cancer |
|
|
|
Your
Cancer man or maiden is an especially kind and nurturing soul.
Cancers are observant and empathetic. Just as the Moon fills with
light from the Sun, your oceanic Cancer absorbs energy from those
around her, deeply feeling their needs and desires. Your Cancer, like
a warm mama, loves to fulfill you and make you comfortable. Home,
food, garden, nursery, work - all become the loving charge of
Cancer's love and care.
Sometimes
your Cancer becomes overwhelmed with concern for others, and needs
to take refuge in a protective shell to be shielded from negative
influences. You may find your Cancer either hiding out or complaining
sadly. It's just that he is filled to the brim with external woes,
and just can't please everyone. Such a frustration!
For
Cancer, the Moon who rules over his heart waxes and wanes, grows
full with wild lunatic ravings and joy, and shrinks into that dark
place where brooding and sulking can set in. Emotions are inconstant,
but so entertaining for the lucky one who has a Cancer for a friend
or partner!
The
Cancer needs to feel needed. Don't hesitate to ask your Cancer for
help, even if she seems downhearted. It makes her feel alive. Be sure
to confide your deepest feelings and desires to your Cancer. It gives
him the opportunity to be more a part of you, and strive to fulfill
your happiness.
Feed
your Cancer with a well stocked kitchen, room for a garden, pets,
cozy decor and children. Take your Cancer to the water or ocean
often. Allow your Cancer opportunities to use the deep imagination
and creativity within. Be kind and patient when the Moon wreaks havoc
on his moods. Make sure your Cancer has privacy when needed, and
feels safe and protected. Screen his calls! Make sure her locks are
secure! You will be rewarded with joyful, shining moonbeam smiles,
and loving comforts of home to rival the most doting of mothers!

How
to Treat your Leo |
|
|
|
Your
Leo is independent - yet family oriented; highly organized and
efficient - yet demanding of others. Leo is King or Queen of the
castle, and wants everyone to know it! Shining brightly through that
magnificent mane is a great joy for living... a completely
self-contained world of fun and creativity. Leo wants the outer world
to be just as shiny as she strives to be, and will go to any lengths
to achieve it.
Your
Leo needs to be happy with how the world perceives him. If enough
praise is not forthcoming, you will have a sulky, growly lion! Make
sure you take time to compliment, heavily. And please don't criticize
overtly - make sly little helpful suggestions instead. Leo is very
sensitive, but bounces back easily because he can't stand
unhappiness. Life is too fun, and creative opportunities too tempting
for Leo to be out of the action for long.
Remember
that you are part of your Sun-God or Goddess' world. Your reputation
is just as important to your Leo as her own. Do your best to look
good, sound dignified and make your space organized and attractive.
Sweep the dirt out of public view, and don't forget to comb your hair!
Feed
your Leo with joyful, sunny surroundings, the laughter of children,
organized spaces and free-time to roam. Keep competition far away
from your very territorial animal. Shower her with cuddly affection,
your undying love and devotion, and most of all PRAISE. You will be
rewarded with a glowing soul whose heart radiates with blissful
devotion to your needs. Your Leo is sure to passionately love, defend
and protect you. It's his job!

The
Chariot in the Tarot |
|
|
|
The
Chariot in the Tarot is associated with Cancer.
~
Control ~
Look
at him go! He's rounding the corner with ease! Has he won the race?
Or is he just beginning, or maybe in the middle of it? This card
often signifies a triumph - but no contest is ever completely won. We
are constantly moving forward - there is always another goal up ahead.
The
horses pulling the Chariot, one black and one white, are wild,
instinctive animals. Harnessed by the skillful hand of a charioteer,
their accuracy is dependent upon his poise, confidence, intelligence
and strength.
As
you go through the motions of life, you may sometimes ask yourself -
who's driving this vessel? Is it the conscious me, is it these crazy
feelings coursing through me, or could it be the untamed forces of my
subconscious? Am I leading the way, or am I being led? Do I have the
ultimate say in my destiny? Where the heck am I headed, anyway??!!!
It
follows that this card is all about Control - over the extremes of
dark and light within your soul, over base emotional reactions, and
over others who might entice you away from your true path.
The
symbolism in the Chariot is deceptively simple - the Charioteer is
the mind and the higher self, the horses are the instincts and
emotions, and the Chariot itself is the body - your vessel. Are you
truly in charge of where you're going?
There
is a delicate balance going on here. Obviously, the driver needs his
horses to get him where he wants to go - but if he lets go of the
reins or loses concentration, they could take him someplace
unfamiliar, or even unpleasant.
On
another level, sometimes this card means that things are moving
along, or someone or something is coming your way. If such is the
case, enjoy the moment - and don't forget to give those wild horses a reward!
You
may sometimes experience the fantastic feeling that you have won -
and the Chariot may indeed be an indication of some triumph in your
life - but until the horses rest completely or the chariot breaks
down, some measure of control over your life will always be required.

The
Outer Planets - Chiron, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto and the Lunar Nodes
~^.

Uranus
in Pisces! ... Uranus will stay in the Sign of the Fish 'til
2011! Spiritual Revolution you say?? Yes, that would describe it
well. What can we expect with Uranus in Pisces? Perhaps our ideas
about death, sacrifice, the fantastic and impossible, transcendence
and service to humanity will take some dramatic and innovative turns.
We can hope that humanitarianism will take on new meaning and
purpose, and that service to others may become a more integral part
of our social order. With this placement, Uranus can become quite
reclusive or fanatical. Scientists who may have been hiding out for
years in research can bring new and surprising inventions and
discoveries into our midst, and Political Messiahs may come out of
the woodwork. With Uranus and Neptune in mutual reception - they will
rely upon each other more than usual, and herald perhaps a renewed
and revolutionary (Uranus) vision for humanity (Neptune) The cost may
be a certain amount of turmoil and confusion regarding just where we
are going for humanity, and will probably not be without conflict.
Neptune
in Aquarius (til 2012) is helping to set our expressions of love
and creativity into positive, innovative motion. A change in the
prevailing style in movies, fashion and art will be seen in the
months and years to come - probably bringing much more in the realm
of the unusual, shocking, rebellious, and inter-cultural.
Pluto
is in Capricorn now until 2024. The very fabric of society may
begin to be re-woven - but not before old structures are dismantled.
Capricorn is about authority, success, achievement and social order.
Pluto is about death and regeneration. Pluto asks us to dig deep and
USE what is best in our world to create something much better. We
need to avail ourselves of and share our brightest and most
humanistic minds (Uranus in Pisces, Neptune in Aquarius!!),
and not descend into blind destructiveness, greed or desperation.
The
powerful Neptune/Pluto septile, exact on Dec 1, 2006 and Feb.
21, 2007 will last (going in and out of close orb) into 2011! For
those of us who are very creative, tremendous inspiration can bring
influential, explosive, mind-blowing creations. In love - the
potential for making inspired changes is heightened - yet there also
exists the possibility of getting lost in confusion. Avoid falling
into a pit of despair, or indulging in self-destructive activities.
Getting nowhere fast? Look for Creative and Healthy, Inspired, Loving
outlets to save your skin! Get involved in helping others.... this is
especially important now! Neptune/Pluto can bring a fanaticism wthat
has not been seen since the last such aspect at the beginning of
WWII. Yet - this aspect is also very positive for creating lasting,
humanitarian changes throughout the world.
The
North and South Nodes are now on the Aquarius/Leo axis ('til
8/21/09). This node placement brings positive connections based on
love for humanity and the quest for social equality, along with
healing in the area of self-love and love for loyalty's sake. This is
a good time to examine our motives, use our egos wisely, and take the
high road - or face karmic consequences!
Chiron
in Aquarius... This archetype of human compassion will be
passing nonstop through Aquarius from January 06 til Feb. 2011,
bringing a period of higher inspiration in the realm of healing. We
may look forward to greater cooperation worldwide in the healing
sciences, and perhaps going back to tradition - those time honored
ways that our ancestors enjoyed and practiced in harmony with nature.
Perhaps we may find more and more "health" foods (ie
unaltered and unprocessed) on our grocery shelves, greater acceptance
of mind-body healing approaches, and some brave new ideas to surface, too.

Mewsings
from Venus & Mars... July 2009 |
|
 |
|
Mars
is in Taurus until 7/12, bringing stubbornness yet stability and
a certain calm to males. This is no time to push him in a direction
he doesn't wish to go. Money matters and possessions are likely to
seem more important.
Venus
is also in Taurus until 7/5, adding sensuality, practicality and
a heightened sense of ownership to those in established
relationships. Jealousy and possessiveness can be a danger, yet this
energy can help strengthen bonds and add more physicality for those
who want or need it!
Venus
is in Gemini from 7/6 to 8/1, and Mars is in Gemini as
well, from 7/13 to 8/25, bringing a certain lightness, fun-lovingness,
silliness and perhaps flightiness to relationships. This is a great
time for taking short trips, socializing, and networking within your
local community. As long as you keep it real, this is a great time
for opening up and getting to know people better.
FUTURE
FORECAST FOR LOVE
During
the first week in July, Venus & Mars in Taurus square Neptune/Jupiter/Chiron
in Aquarius, and sextile Uranus & biquintile Pluto -
bringing healing realizations that if not acted on may result in
frustration and disappointment. Long held beliefs may be challenged
by new relationships, and existing relationships may be challenged by
new beliefs! Openness and honesty will be needed to get unstuck, but
if you're too open and honest, practicing some restraint may be in order.
The
second week has Venus quintile Uranus -a new
acquaintance or creative idea may prove irresistible.
During
the third & fourth weeks,Venus trines
Jupiter/Neptune/Chiron, squares Uranus and opposes Pluto....
time to contemplate your spirituality and what you give to humanity.
An honest assessment of your relationships can bring you peace if you
are willing to accept your limitations, and not expect too much of
yourself or others.
Vital
relationships may prove especially challenging as issues of power,
control and sexuality can come up. Be prepared for something new,
unexpected changes/endings and snap decisions. Don't leave any
dangling questions - deal with it before the last of July/beginning
of August, when Pluto/Moon exactly oppose Venus!

The Big Guys ~
Jupiter
is in Aquarius til 1/18/2010. Lucky, expansive Jupiter will be
crossing and re- crossing Chiron and Neptune during 2009, helping to
bring us new ideas in spirituality, religious openness, tolerance and
healing forms of justice.
Saturn
in Virgo 'til July 21, 2010 brings our focus to the things of
the earth.. the cleanliness and purity of our physical environment.
These coming years can bring a stronger sense of purpose and
responsibility within our social institutions, government and from
authority figures regarding the sanctity and protection of our mother
earth. A wonderful time this can be!! Let's make conscious
guardianship of our world the central focus for all we do!
