Cancer

ON A SHIP THE SAILORS LOWER AN OLD FLAG AND RAISE A NEW ONE. This marks a real turning point. There needs to be a symbolic gesture or expression of the change of allegiance. Although this may be a decision of the collective, each individual can gain glory in the action. Changing one's loyalties. Coming to a turning point in one's obligations or duties. Announcing new standards. If negative - too quick to reject the old just for the sake of change. Fickleness. A MAN ON A MAGIC CARPET OBSERVES VAST VISTAS BELOW HIM. You might find that you are unable to proceed, or you feel in some state of limbo. Are you disconnected from reality? On the other hand, you are able to have a heightened level of awareness and a broad overview of the situation, giving you an opportunity to plan future action. Try to accept the positive opportunities that are being offered to you. Elevated observation. If negative - feeling above and unaffected by the situations around you. Losing touch with reality. AN ARCTIC EXPLORER LEADS A REINDEER THROUGH ICY CANYONS. You may need to persevere and progress slowly. There is no possibility of stopping, the situation could freeze-up in an instant. Although you have the natural elements to help, it is more a time of struggling through an unusual difficulty than creating the proper appearance. Using your animal instinct to get through the toughest times. Facing bad weather and hardship. If negative - taking those familiar to the situation and unwittingly heading toward danger. Putting one's self through hard times when it's avoidable. Restrictive outlook on life. A CAT ARGUING WITH A MOUSE. The active and passive aspects of you or the situation can cause a standstill as each tries to justify to the other what should be done and why. What is the central issue and what are the old values that require reassessment? There is an imbalance at work, someone or something is trying to gain unfair advantage against a weaker opponent. Being able to persuade others to one's way of thinking through constant to and fro thinking. If negative - time-wasting arguments and bickering. AT A RAILROAD CROSSING, AN AUTOMOBILE IS WRECKED BY A TRAIN. The individual's ideas will not survive in a collision with the more powerful collective. This is not a time to be insisting bravely that you should be considered. The collective has too much momentum and will not stop. If someone pits themselves and their energies against society, sooner or later they are going to lose. Not looking to the consequences of one's actions. If negative - recklessness. Being prepared to sacrifice other individuals for the sake of larger gains. Working until one drops. GAME BIRDS FEATHERING THEIR NESTS. Although there is a good feeling about the future and the hope of new life coming, there is an inherent danger that you could be expendable. Be careful not to become too complacent or to react in fright at any sudden surprises. Instinctive dedication for laying the groundwork for those to come. Creating a base. If negative - being afraid to venture out on `one's own'. Being unnecessarily afraid. TWO FAIRIES (NATURE SPIRITS) DANCING ON A MOONLIT NIGHT. Your intuition and imagination can be heightened now, with a stronger sense of your emotional centre. Let go of the rational and enjoy the experience. Allow your creativity to flow without worrying about its usefulness. Usually unseen astral realms. Reconnecting with the feminine. If negative - losing one's self in emotional dreaming. A GROUP RABBITS DRESSED IN CLOTHES AND ON PARADE. Someone may be trying to be more than they really are. It's difficult to disguise the attempt, but the effort of trying to advance one's self may be appreciated and rewarded with their abilities taking a leap ahead of normal development. Projecting into the future a higher sense of being. Forward thinking into a more intelligent, successful, higher form of life. Emulation of higher forms. If negative - pretending to be what one is not. Sublimating one's instinctual (or animal) needs to maintain a dignified, straight front to the world. A SMALL, NAKED GIRL BENDS OVER A POND TRYING TO CATCH A FISH. You may find yourself unable to grasp the meanings, but still being fascinated by what is happening. Your position in the situation is comparatively innocent and your perceptions possibly limited, still lessons will be learnt about what is and what is not possible. Innocent reaching out for experiences. Curiosity. Infantile cravings. Fascination with the illusory, grasping at abstractions. If negative - being distracted by simple irrelevances. A LARGE DIAMOND IN THE FIRST STAGES OF THE CUTTING PROCESS. Your position is just beginning to take shape and the potential is enormous, but there needs to be care and accuracy taken or all the work to date could be spoilt. This situation has taken a long time to develop and comes from a deep organic essence. Coming to terms with inner worth. Emerging perfection. Enormous beauty that is still a bit `rough around the edges.' If negative - leaving an important job unfinished. A CLOWN CARICATURING WELL- KNOWN PERSONALITIES. The situation may need to be less serious. `Laughter is the best medicine' and `many things said in jest' are useful tools to relax and may get things back on the right track. Perhaps someone is not `being real', using masks to hide what's really going on. Or, playing the fool when the situation needs a more serious response. Exaggerated responses. If negative - being foolish in the face of positive potential. Trying to cover up one's true self or one's mistakes through buffoonery. A CHINESE WOMAN NURSING A BABY WHOSE AURA REVEALS HIM TO BE THE REINCARNATION OF A GREAT TEACHER. What seems to be the simplest and most innocent aspect of the situation could prove to be possessed of the best answers.

If negative - being unable to see the simple message. Overcome with complexity. Demands to be recognised. ONE HAND SLIGHTLY FLEXED WITH A VERY PROMINENT THUMB. There is a need for strong will. Although a degree of flexibility exists, it will, inevitably, be strength of character that succeeds. Being in control of oneself and one's environment. Openness and a willingness to extend oneself to others. If negative - an aggressiveness and an overbearing nature. Feeling that one is better, or stronger, than others. A VERY OLD MAN FACING A VAST DARK SPACE TO THE NORTHEAST. You may be looking for some help or spiritual guidance, but it may be difficult to find through the usual channels. As we become more enlightened there is a greater ability to see spiritual truth. There needs to be a trust and courage that your inner wisdom is in touch with the higher truth. This is the degree of Sirius. If negative - a feeling of `staring into a void', a lack of purpose or a feeling of abandonment. A GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE OVEREATEN AND ENJOYED IT. Perhaps you have overindulged in the materialisation of success. There is pleasure and satisfaction, but it was only a celebration and there must be a return to the work shortly. For now, enjoy your good fortune. Communal cohesion through indulging in the senses. Satisfied hunger. If negative - self-indulgence, largely through the senses. A MAN STUDYING A MANDALA IN FRONT OF HIM, WITH THE HELP OF A VERY ANCIENT BOOK. You may be puzzled by the deeper meanings of the situation. The key to this is in the old knowledge and wisdom. Perhaps you feel `boxed in' by your situation. You must seek what is already known in order to understand. Studying `the secret mysteries' can reveal answers to life's questions. Overcoming obstacles by gaining control of one's inner and outer life. If negative - ignoring the old wisdom for modern rational systems. Lack of imagination. THE SEED GROWS INTO KNOWLEDGE AND LIFE. You may feel that you are not growing or developing properly, maybe dissatisfied at your perceived failings, but things take time to develop and, rather than being rushed, need to be nurtured to develop in their own time. It is important to start small and develop. Small and steady beginnings can lead to a beautiful flowering. Warning against grabbing for the fast dollar. If negative - trying to do things that aren't fully developed. Rushing and missing vital parts in the situation. A HEN SCRATCHING FOR HER CHICKS. The essential need for nourishment must be satisfied in order to proceed in life. There are those around you who also depend on your ability to provide nourishment - both the literal - food, and the symbolic, spiritual caring. Searching for sustenance. Being devoted to the nurturing of small beginnings. Concern for the essential, small details. Repetitive cycles of things that have to be done. If negative - pointless searching where there is no nourishment left. Fussing around. A PRIEST PERFORMING A MARRIAGE CEREMONY. The simplest expressions of our heart and mind may need to be acknowledged in a ritual performance. This also entails a sense of sanctification from a greater power. It is a conforming to the understanding of the collective. Sanctified unity. Expressions of loyalty and the making of sacred vows. Making levels of commitment. If negative - rigidly following established rules at the expense of new ways that have greater personal relevance. The forcing of people to come together - perhaps they don't want to. Bondage to social expectations. VENETIAN GONDOLIERS IN A SERENADE. You may find the pleasure of romantic fantasy. Although a cliche in its form, it is still special for the individual. Break out from the constraints of expectation and let yourself float on the pleasure of romance. Finding ways to relate that satisfy emotional requirements. This is not a time for seriousness, but don't be fooled by an insincere charade. Romantic fantasy. Emotional manipulation. If negative - insincere charade masking what's really going on.

Emotional dramatisations. Taking centre stage. Messages that need to be heard for social reasons. If negative - over-playing one's role. Displaying noisily. A YOUNG WOMAN AWAITING A SAILBOAT. There is a strong sense that the ideal will come if you just wait long enough. The waiting leads to an almost pleasurable expectation. Be patient, but don't become dependent on an unreliable expectation. If you are constantly looking out, then you are not giving enough time to looking back or inward at the things you already possess or have ready access to. Waiting for one's ship to come in. If negative - Longing for fulfilment that may never arrive, hoping that things will `happen'. Missing opportunities through emotional inaction. THE MEETING OF A LITERARY SOCIETY. Emotions may be given an objective, critical review, but it is in search of the greater meaning in order to enrich the group. Finding the best way to describe something creates the opportunity for greater access by the collective. Shared higher knowledge. Print media, libraries, written word. If negative - falsifying of ideas, propaganda spread by media. Intellectual smugness which excludes non-establishment thought. Chatting instead of doing. A WOMAN AND TWO MEN CASTAWAYS ON A SMALL ISLAND OF THE SOUTH SEAS. You may find yourself in a situation where it is difficult to choose. Your wants seem to vacillate from one extreme to the other. Perhaps there is a need to get away from those trying to confuse you with conflicting views, although this may be impossible. Feelings of being fenced in, too little room to move. Lack of privacy. Relationship triangles. If negative - not seeing the whole picture. Fighting over `territory'. A LEADER OF MEN WRAPPED IN AN INVISIBLE MANTLE OF POWER. There is an unavoidable need to accept responsibility and respond rationally. It is almost as though this has been thrust upon you, but it is as much because you have placed yourself in this position and you both understand and accept the consequences. Leadership and its responsibilities. Powerful descent of energies taking over one's very being. If negative - Outer shows of superiority. Presuming oneself to be more than one is. Megalomania. GUESTS ARE READING IN THE LIBRARY OF A LUXURIOUS HOME. There is an opportunity to relax and enjoy yourself. It is a time to catch up on the attitudes of others without any pressure. There does, however, need to be a caution against self-indulgence. Sharing of thoughts and ideas in an environment of social privilege. If negative - relating on a superficial level. A VIOLENT STORM IN A CANYON FILLED WITH EXPENSIVE HOMES. You may find yourself much deeper in a situation than you had planned, but now you are restrained by the walls about you. There is no escape from the turbulence that is around you. The only thing to do is wait it out and protect yourself the best you can. Arguments and emotional confrontations as a result of the `pressure cooker' environments in modern-day living. If negative - wrongly believing that you are in control of an uncontrollable situation OR enjoyment of emotional storms and turmoil. INDIAN GIRL INTRODUCES COLLEGE BOY-FRIEND TO HER ASSEMBLED TRIBE. You may find yourself bridging the gap between situations or people that are inherently foreign.

Challenging or going against the status-quo. Bringing in a new, more intellectual, element. If negative - deliberately upsetting the group with alternative behaviour. A GREEK MUSE WEIGHING NEW BORN TWINS IN GOLDEN SCALES. In a creative or intuitive way you may be pressed into making judgements and decisions, but the elements of your judgement are, in many ways, exactly the same. The choices are confusing because they essentially lead to the same result. This situation is brand new, maybe the answer lies in taking an intuitive `punt', or waiting for the solutions to become more clear-cut. Comparisons and similarities. If negative - expressing judgemental opinions about things that are essentially equal. Being picky. A DAUGHTER OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION. You may find yourself relying on the old traditions that were, in their day, radical and transforming.

Being bound by social conditioning or leading the charge to break down the barriers of tradition. If negative - supporting battles that have already been fought OR false feelings of superiority. Narrow-minded conservatism. Glorifying the past.
