Welcome to the Open Source for July. This month, the warm days of summer make life seem easy
for out door living. We embrace the long days of light and we feel extra free as we enjoy
vacations, family gatherings and celebrations of transitions. We eat well during summer,
experiencing nature’s ongoing bounty with summer fruits and vegetables. Everything is getting
extra sunlight in July in the northern hemisphere.
What does this have to do with Moon children? They are the fruit of summer, the examples of
human peak ripeness. The Goddess loves her summer babies, born while the Light, their Father,
is very strong and passionate.
The Goddess loves the sign of Cancer because she has a special relationship to her earth
children. Taurus and Cancer represent the closest image of herself, the great Mother.
So the next time you hear a Cancer person whining that they can’t do something, remind them
that they are most closely related astrologically to the nurturer archetype of the Zodiac. As such,
they have the ability to create with their mental focus and their divine emotions.
Naturally, the law of attraction applies to all signs. However, my point is that some are naturally
gifted with the very emotions which power manifestation. Cancers have this great power.
But how can they be the masters of manifestation while displaying traits that seem dependent and
childlike?
The secret of manifesting something is to focus your thought and to infuse that thought with
feeling. Cancers are born knowing that they possess this power, but the caveat is that they think it
only works if someone would love them. They figure they need guidance and wait for Prince (or
Princess) Charming to kiss them and wake them up. Until they mature, the Cancer person will say
“I have no idea what I created with my emotion.” When they mature they understand that they
actually have complete power with no need for a prince or priest. The great gift of the Goddess is
your ability to create and your power to do so.
"Cancerians" are the historians of the world. Other signs collect things and study history too, but
no one remembers like a Cancer. Marcel Proust (10 July 1871 - 18 November 1922) was a
Cancer, and he wrote Remembrance of Things Past, a book which is praised for its rich textures
of words combined with emotions. Don’t compete with them on this, they are the best.
Also, if you try to “correct” them by telling them YOUR version of the same past events, you might
get shut out. They will write the screenplay and get it made into a movie just to show you that they
remember better.
Tom Hanks was born under the Moon’s sway. He is a good example of someone whom the public
loves. This trait of Cancers is one of their most endearing. They are really lovable. If you notice,
Hanks can portray romantic leads and great sons and brothers. He is believable and appealing in
his movies, someone whom a grandmother can love and also her niece could fantasize about.
The MOON loves her children. She also owns the waves of hypnotic enchantment we call the
world of film, although she shares this world with Neptune for the sake of art. Did you ever notice
that some people are loved and adored by the very camera taking their picture? A Moon child can
be overweight or skinny, old or young, but the camera loves them. They all have an adorable
quality, even when old and gruff.
The issue of crying is always a concern, to male and female Moon children alike. Fear and love
your Cancer! She can call down the whirlwind with her tears, creating storms of emotion
sometimes.
Why was that such a hard issue? If your sign is say, Leo or Capricorn, for example, you might sob
once or twice and get back to work. Not so easy for our July born. The women cry at the drop of a
hat, no doubt because our society gives women more freedom to express emotion. Cancer men
want to cry, but are under the same cultural constraints as their brothers are about the subject of
crying. It is still a taboo. This is the time when Cancers get crabby, when they can’t release their
true feelings about things. It is a need of the Soul that must be respected. If not, it leads to their
famous moodiness. This is a form of dissonance, when feelings are not in alignment with action, is
a common problem that hamstrings great manifesting talents.
I think of Jack Nicholson’s performance in the movie As Good As It Gets does a good job of
illustrating these issues. He plays what seems to me a Cancer person who has become isolated
and alienated. Much of the comedy comes as he struggles to release his emotions, which are the
source of his charm, his power to create, and his power to enchant others to get them to do his
will. In the end, his self work pays off, and he is a better person when he returns to honesty about
his real feelings. He allows himself to even look like a clown, and he laughed at himself, thus
releasing the resistance he was having to a natural and normal part of his being.
Cancer, respect your own ability to remember and to forgive, because you are the beloved of the
Mother Goddess. Know that you have great powers of mind, because you are governed by the
Moon. In Astrology or other symbolic languages, the Moon refers to the cache of memories we
also call the collective unconscious. This indeed is the mind of humanity, and you are the
inheritors of the job of remembering, and the inheritors of the past. Let yourselves be lighthearted
at this job, you can take out the trash, because at the end, you will decid of what is saved and
what is not.
