Your jour­ney through the stars paus­es once more. For you are at one of two points in the year at which the Ener­gies and Forms of Life on Earth must stop and con­sid­er, and so you must ask your­self too, “Which way now, what path shall I take?”

This Hier­ar­chi­cal, Heli­cal move­ment of your form of Life-Con­scious­ness-Spir­it through the spaces of space has reached a tip­ping point, as day and night are now most unequal. What has been build­ing since the Win­ter Sol­stice arrives at this moment of con­tra­pun­tal mean­ing of the Sum­mer Sol­stice. Six months ago, at the por­tal of Capri­corn, you stopped to con­sid­er what is your pur­pose, what is your respon­si­bil­i­ty and what should indeed be the “ever-last­ing” sub­stan­ti­a­tion of your Self-Fulfillment.

Here in Can­cer you must address a more inti­mate and per­son­al set of ques­tions (and answers). Now you must answer the ques­tion: “From whence did you come, what is the source of me?” Can­cer is the final fourth of the first set of signs. For it shall ever be that you will in Aries-Fire forge your Image of Pur­pose­ful Pres­ence; and through Tau­rus-Earth you will bring into being your Sub­stan­tial Val­ue of Heart­felt Love; so that by Gem­i­ni-Air you will come to know your­self and your world by that most human gift of Intel­li­gent Adaptability.

And so now you will pause as you enter this Sacred realm of Water. Mys­te­ri­ous­ly, now you end as you equal­ly begin, for Can­cer is the next of the Car­di­nal Signs that her­ald a new sea­son of life. Yet it is equal­ly the com­ple­tion of the first of three sets of these ele­men­tal group­ings of Fire, Earth, Air and Water. But tru­ly, your jour­ney through worlds, forms and lives is a spi­ral and not a cir­cle, and there was no “begin­ning” and there will nev­er be an “end”. There is but one Life, One Spir­it that is formed and expressed into the Sacred Twelve, the Shin­ing Prin­ci­pal­i­ties of the Signs, that take these Four Ways of Being which are formed/expressed into these three modal­i­ties: Car­di­nal for Ini­ti­a­tion, Fixed for Sub­stan­ti­a­tion and Muta­ble for Transformation.

Through each of these three ways there are the four: Fire is for Inspi­ra­tion, Earth is for Mate­ri­al­iza­tion, Air is for Under­stand­ing, and the realm of Water is that which brings them all togeth­er into what you know as the expe­ri­ence of Feel­ing. It is by feel­ings that all your expe­ri­ences of your­self (and of one anoth­er) are bound togeth­er into some­thing more than can be known and expe­ri­enced in any oth­er way. It is by Feel­ing that you find your way to your whole­ness, to your one­ness with one anoth­er, and to the One who encom­pass­es us all.

The Way of Can­cer is to find, secure and nur­ture the roots of your­self. It is about your need for being “Self-Cen­tered”, in the good sense of that term…becoming a tru­ly anchored, sta­ble soul who is cen­tered in the truth of their being. The way to that is found by many expe­ri­ences. For most it will begin (and could well remain) by iden­ti­fy­ing one­self with the imme­di­ate fam­i­ly, with Father/Mother, Brother/Sister, Grandmother/Grandfather, Uncle and Aunt, and to the par­tic­u­lar life-ways and sen­si­bil­i­ties nur­tured there. But it will inevitably broad­en and deep­en in your many loves and lives to encom­pass and include your eth­nic­i­ty, and your larg­er expe­ri­ence of cul­ture. And this will lead, ever widen­ing like rip­ples in a pond, to the larg­er nur­tur­ing-mean­ings of faith and spir­i­tu­al­i­ty too.

Even­tu­al­ly, it will arrive where it “began”, in the warm embrace of your feel­ing-know­ing that one and all, this human and all life forms, are part of this won­drous and great Ocean of Life-Con­scious­ness-Spir­it. That all of “this”, what we know as The Cre­ation, comes from and is the sub­stan­tial man­i­fes­ta­tion of the One Life that is the One. You will know that you are safe, secure and loved by the One, in whom and by whom “we are all related”.

The great illu­sion that is Sep­a­ra­tion is thrown down by the first of the Water Signs. You are part of an amaz­ing jour­ney of Life and Light and Love.

You are a one of the One. Your jour­ney began as a Divine Spark that was unself-aware, a self-unfold­ing Con­scious­ness who is draw­ing ever clos­er to the expe­ri­ence of your ori­gin as Divin­i­ty, and so equal­ly to your Des­tiny which is to be a ful­ly con­scious co-cre­ator of this Creation.

As you come to know where you came from, to feel and know that you are one with one anoth­er by and through the One that is All, you will equal­ly feel the deep, abid­ing and eter­nal love in which you live, in which you share your lives with one anoth­er, and by which you cre­ate this Cre­ation by and for one anoth­er too. And you are here, you are sim­ply here, to care for one anoth­er as you are cared for too.

Wel­come home to the time of Cancer.

Care for one anoth­er, for you are all of one family,

You are all of one Life, one Con­scious­ness and one Spirit.

Be as you are and will always be,

All for one, and one for All.

Care for one another.

For at the cen­ter of it all,

There is just Love.
