Positions
Arethusa in Cancer
Arethusa in Cancer guards a deep emotional source, retreating to protect a tender inner life. Your way of finding refuge is private and feeling-rich. The gift is a deeply protected wellspring of self; the work is to let trusted others near the source rather than hiding your inner waters from everyone.
Lean in — Protect your tender inner source and let trusted few near.
Watch for — Hide your inner waters from everyone, even the trusted.
