Hi Friend,

In recent weeks we have been looking at the deeper significance of the six polarities and their importance for our spiritual journey.

This week we continue looking more deeply to gain a deeper understanding of the energy dynamics involved, with Cancer-Capricorn... enjoy!

Cancer-Capricorn

The sign of Cancer is associated with home, family, the womb, birth, the Mother, the Moon, water, tides, feelings, emotions, emotional intelligence, empathy, Love and ultimately the highest Love of all: Compassion.

Cancerians are tuned into the masses in a way that makes them great nurses and/or sales people because they usually know what people need even before they know they need it! They are the consumate ‘people person’. Wherever there are people, you will find Cancer: people matter more to them, than anything else.

Cancer is motivated primarily by human need. Wherever there is human need, you will find Cancerians quietly meeting it. They are able to send their Cancerian radar deep into the mass consciousness, take a measurement, and sense what is needed next for the benefit of all. The answer is usually Love. When they put their mind to it, Cancerians know how to consciously flow Love.

This is one of the keys to understanding the deeper esoteric significance of Cancer. At it’s highest vibration Cancer is about meeting the deepest human need of all: our need for Divine Love and spiritual fulfillment.

Because of their connectedness with mass consciousness, the prevailing fear, tribalism, and mob-consciousness can dominate Cancer at the level of the personality. Until she begins to awaken to her higher nature, Cancer can too easily become overwhelmed by fear, get lost in the crowd and end up ‘going with the flow’ of lower consciousness.

At the personality level, your phenomenal Cancerian ability to sense and meet the needs of others can distract you from your own spiritual journey. This is where the spiritual ambition, solitude, and methodical application of your opposite sign Capricorn is vital. If Cancer is to discover deeper mysteries she has to venture out of her shell and cultivate the spiritual ambition, persistence, and determination, of her opposite sign Capricorn.

Capricorn is the sign of ambition and at its highest vibration it is the sign of the ‘disciple’ (meaning one who unwaveringly follows a spiritual path), showing us that the highest ‘ambition’ of all, is spiritual ambition. The highest vibration of Capricorn, the goat, teaches us how to steadily walk the path until we reach that mountain-top.

There are two “Great Gateways” in the Zodiac: one is in Cancer, the other is in Capricorn. This hints at the deeper significance, and mystery, of the Cancer-Capricorn polarity: the mystery of the great cycle of death and re-birth (samsara).

Capricorn is the great resource manager of the Zodiac. The sign of Capricorn is associated with business, accounting, banking, finance, governance, authority, ambition, and achievement through practical, diligent, precise and methodical application of one's energy. 

Symbolised by the sure-footed mountain-goat, securely placing one foot in front of another until she reaches her mountain-top, one could be forgiven for thinking that the sign of Capricorn is the most practical, down-to-Earth sign of them all. This is quite true and, at one and the same time, it is also the most mysterious and Esoteric sign because the true mysteries of Capricorn remain deeply hidden.

Hidden deep within the mysteries of Capricorn are vast undiscovered metaphysical sciences. Sacred arts, including sacred geometry and alchemy are just the ‘tip of the iceberg’. Capricorn is the sign of precision engineering, and while many Capricorns do indeed use their innate knowledge of physical matter to engineer the physical realm, the highest octave of Capricorn involves engineering light. Capricorn is here to utilize spiritual resources to build heaven on Earth, and beyond! But Capricorn can never access this highest potential with her nose stuck in an accounting book.

At the personality level, our Capricorn friend has the unfortunate reputation of sometimes being the most ruthless sign of all. It is as though, in her diligent focus on getting through the business of the day, she is able to take into account and audit all the tangibles of a situation, while forgetting the very reason why resources need to be managed in the first place: to ensure that all creatures have opportunities for growth. 

A fully integrated Capricorn senses what will be needed by all, takes everything into account, and with great care, respect and Cancerian-like compassion, can move mountains to make sure all needs are covered.

The Cancer-Capricorn polarity teaches us about how to manage and appropriately use the most precious resources of all: our spiritual resources, such as empathy, caring, love, compassion, and our abilities to engineer light to illuminate the darkness and create heaven on earth. 


That's all for now! See you next time and in the meantime...  happy exploring!

Best Wishes,

Ruth
