Moving through Cycles with the Moon By Lisa De La O Wyman

In the waning days of Cancer season, we feel the glow of summer enliven our days. In ancient Egypt, the summer solstice corresponded with the rise of the Nile River, symbolizing the returning fertility of those life-giving waters. The sign of Cancer, which arrives on the solstice, is similarly maternal, a watery vessel sustaining precious new growth. It is the safe, nurturing container that supports the creation within – be it a child, an artistic project, an invention, or a transformed version of ourselves.
