CARD OF THE WEEK

FRIENDSHIP
MOON in CANCER
Moon - Security/ Cancer - nurturing attachment
PERSONAL - Moon is the natural ruler of the sign Cancer and indicates persons who are comfortable with their emotions and somewhat like a 'Mother Hen' able to feel everybody else's as well. The world really is how they 'feel' it to be, but if that turns out to be tough they can hard-shell those around them with their out and out defensive crabbiness. Emotionally Moon Cancereans are at their best if all is well with home and family. Family for them is 'all', friends become family and family become friends. The early influence of their parents, whether enjoyed or not, remains a strong influence throughout their lives. When this card occurs in a reading it will indicate a good shrewd business ability if they dare to launch out on their own account. There is also, with this Moon position, the potential for developing abilities as a good cook or at least a lover of good food. However, upset emotions can cause Cancereans digestive troubles that may well reverse the view of this and concentration will be focussed on nurturing thier family. Often when this card occurs there is an almost psychic sensitivity to the thoughts and feelings of others. It may be that one is called upon to be a shoulder to cry on for a close friend or family member.
IMAGE - Above, children play in the wheatfield among the cornflowers. They share the delight in the flight of the heron. Below, either side of a crescent moon symbolising fruitfulness are two ancient alchemical symbols of the moon metal silver.
EVENTS - Family gatherings, celebrating anniversaries, inheritance of heirlooms, moving house, genealogy, distant relations, sharing a friend or family member's pleasure or problems.
