The Tao of Astrology
Cancer Rising With Cancer the healer rising, Capricorn the wise elder is setting. Physically, Cancer Rising has a round, worried, fleshy face with pronounced frown lines and down-turned mouth when born close to the full moon. If born near the new moon, the worried face might still be there, but instead of a full, round face, you find narrower features and a sympathetic motherly gaze. Luna governs these people. Sometimes their eyes remind me of crab eyes, shifty and sentimental. They are very protective and emotional. Cancer Rising is here to nurture. They are extremely sensitive, patient, and imaginative. The Moon by its sign, house, and aspects (including its phase) will drastically influence the persona more than any other Rising Sign’s focal planet. Cancer is the sign of home and family, the cosmic hearth. As such, these people are inclined to wear the masks of the caretaker, healer, and counselor. Greatly influenced by the daily phases of the Moon, Cancer Rising knows the value of growth, change, and emotional fluctuation. If they are not expressing identity in a bonding, emotionally charged way the shadow emerges. Excessive worry and the desire to emotionally manipulate infiltrate their characters. Spiritually, Cancer Rising exists to nurture, heal, and protect. The waves of feeling must flow into the world to strengthen and recuperate others. The spiritual healer’s endpoint lies in nourishing others in the cosmic womb of life. They can guide people to revitalization at the fountain of emotion hidden in the well of being. They come to master the principle of compassion, of love without conditions. When faced with the opportunity to embrace others, Cancer Rising must play the opposite role of Capricorn. There is a need to take love slowly, letting it evolve one step at a time. Before this person can open the heart fully, a firm commitment must be secured. Emotion lends way to practical wisdom and necessity. These people want to accomplish great things through their partnerships. The planet Saturn and its chart position will tell how and where intimacy and trust are earned and experienced for these people. Anyone with stern, ambitious Capricorn energy has the potential to strike love into a Cancer Rising gentle heart. Every symbolic mother needs a symbolic father to lean on. Those Saturnian folks can coerce these lunar beings into the intimate bonds of friendship and relationship. The integration of these two poles produces nurturing organizations, the true foundations for any structured civilization. In actualizing the axis of life, Cancer Rising must learn to seek social accomplishment through the healing touch of nurturance. They are mastering the principle of integrity through relationships. The life intent for those with Cancer Rising involves re-inventing family structures in this era of shifting values and morals.
