“I am a point of synthesis for the Divine Plan which expresses successfully in my life”.
Here we meet the halfway point in the wheel of the year. We have toiled the garden of Life and planted the seeds of our desires and dreams in the fertile soil of our hearts and we've taken appropriate actions to make them a reality. Now is the time to rest and reflect in the successes that have sprung forth from our intentions.
One’s power to will is the momentum that drives our successes… Desire takes charge of one’s life and willpower kicks in to make dream Reality. Essentially, willpower is the chariot that is driven by mental discipline and directive. The card for this month is the 'Chariot' card in traditional Tarot, in the medicine woman Tarot it is 'The Warrior'. In this post we are going to explore the wisdom offered in the tarot to help us better understand how to walk consciously through personal and collective growth while Sun is in Cancer.
Within your personality are unique aspirations, needs, dreams, skills and ways of being. These unique expressions of who you are also serve as a mirror and reflection of Supreme Creator manifesting Itself through you.
There is a Great Cosmic Plan in motion right now of which we are all participants!
Coming back to the picture of this now moment. This year, as the wheel of the year kicked over, we set our wishes, dreams and goals. At each turn and crossroad we have sought guidance from within about the next appropriate action to take. It has taken great courage and discipline and now is the time to rest…
Rest in the glow of a job well done.
Success, which is what the chariot is all about!
Which brings me to the question: “What is success, for you?”
For me personally, success is living in harmony with the seasons, having beautiful friends and family to share life with and enjoying life’s simplicity without getting caught up in social projections about what I “should” be doing… Success for me personally is taking steps to share my gifts and be of service to the Great Shift happening through the planet right now. P.S (I'm super excited to share my new program 'cycles of success' with you! Coming soon to Vancouver in August and Australia next year!)
The point of these questions is this; if we have worked diligently, using our arrows of mental discipline to make the changes and show up for our dreams, the wheels will be turning on their own right now... You have set in motion the forces that will forever be your foundation. (Need help with your direction? Book a reading here).
Maybe your focus for success has been to kick a habit in the butt; or change the way you think about a particular situation; or end a relationship; or master your self-care routine; start a business; birth a child… No matter how small or large your intention, you have been a warrior in your own life and no accomplishment, no matter how seemingly small, should go unrecognized or uncelebrated!
Now is the time to acknowledge the ways in which you have used your mind to create the reality now before you. Take this turn of the wheel to reprieve and reflect… To identify the successes and triumphs and give yourself a pat on the back for a job well done! (Dude, if you’ve been depressed, for example, and have managed to brush your teeth today, job well done!)
The point of life is not to perpetually keep burning through it to get to a destination (Yeah, we all have big goals that might happen one day, but burn out is the least sexy thing on the planet…)
The point is to walk in self mastery, self care, communion, connection and play along the way; to connect our roots deep into the Earth that we live on; to celebrate and rest and be inspired when inspiration comes!
So here at the midway point in the year, where we celebrate the Winter Solstice in the South and the Summer Solstice in the North, we find ourselves re at the point of reflection. I invite your to check in and ask yourself these questions:
Where in life do I need more balance right now?
Am I giving my power away to others?
Am I giving my power away to my past or getting caught up in the past?
Am I so focused on my goal that my self care is suffering?
Am I using my mind to weave the reality I want to live in tomorrow?
Cancer is ruled by the moon, La Luna, the governor of rhythms, the mover of the tides
She rules the subconscious and shows us what is hidden in our darkness. The darkness is only scary when not illuminated. When we turn the light on we become aware of what we are actually dealing with; then we can make appropriate decisions about what to do about it.
The month of cancer is a time to turn inwards, to align with the feminine aspects of life; to replenish, rest, check in and realign. Every month the moon goes through what the sun goes through in a year.
She waxes like spring
She’s full like summer
She wanes like autumn
She’s dark and renewed like winter
As woman, your body is going through the same cycles as the moon, even if you’re no longer bleeding. Each month, humanity has the gift (men included) of illumination. I encourage you to use the solstice energies to draw towards yourself the life you truly want to live...
Your mind can be your weapon, your wand & your greatest tool for personal evolution/success
You choose, sacred warrior, how will you use the tool your mind when emotional circumstances come knocking at the door of your heart?
Cancer is a water sign. Water, respectively, symbolizes emotion and transformation.
Emotion: Energy in motion is perpetuated by the thoughts we think and the words we speak. Every thought and word sends out unseen waves, energy, that builds momentum becoming the emotion and feelings of today, tomorrow and so on and so forth.
What we do with our emotions, how we use them and how we relate to them when in watery cancer is especially important. Recognizing and acknowledging the relationship we are having with what we are feeling and how we are participating in it helps. You can choose to sit with this for as long as you like. I recommend just observing… Don’t try to change the emotion yet, just be present with it. There is nothing to fix, just witness yourself without getting carried away in story.
If this feeling was a wise old woman, what would she say?
Then you can transform it into a source of wisdom; a helper… Use your medicine tools as the Sun moves through Cancer, illuminating how we have used our minds to create our emotional realities Walk in awareness of what is showing up in your conscious waking life and use your tools to drive your chariot in the direction your soul speaks.
