Cancer 0-30 Sabian Symbols

raven2663 @ freeimages.com

In general, a quick surf of the net will tell you that the main themes of Cancer astrology are:

 Family, Land, Home/Houses/Real estate, Inner emotional security, Roots, Subconscious, Parents, Early home life, Early conditioning, Instincts, Protection, Habits, Nostalgia.


When we look at the keywords of the Cancer symbols (from Dr. M.E. Jones "The Sabian Symbols in Astrology", 1953) we get the following:

Adaptability, Equanimity, Compatibility, Repose, Latency, Inception, Unfoldment, Inimitability,  Destiny, Excellence, Criticism, Meticulousness, Justification, Indomitability, Determination, Ascendancy, Sanction, Conformity, Materialization, Satiety, Provision, Inheritance, Value, Appropriation, Dispersion, Contemplation, Inclination, Sentiment, Intensification, Profundity.

The keywords give us a similar sense of the main themes of Cancer and the Moon, which is the 'planetary' ruler of Cancer.

I include these keywords purely for interest, since Dr Jones was a gifted astrologer however the keywords are purely his interpretation of the symbols. I personally focus on whatever I feel resonates with the symbol, rather than going by someone else's keyword.  We all have different experiences - for example what may have been true for Dr. M.E. Jones, living in the first half of the 20th century in North America, does not necessarily resonate for a Hong Kong Chinese in the 21st century on the other side of the world.


What is more important is whatever resonates in you; or your interpretations and your sense of what is right for you. In all my discussions with people it is amazing the different approaches to the same Sabian Symbol, due to our different experiences and personalities.

A note on the images below: I decided a moon theme would be appropriate for Cancer :)
