Positions
Cybele in Cancer
Cybele in Cancer joins the Great Mother to the domestic mother: deep, instinctive, fiercely protective nurture that runs to the roots. Your nurturing power is profound and emotional. The gift is an overwhelming capacity to mother and shelter; the work is to let the primal protectiveness breathe rather than smothering or possessing.
Lean in — Mother deeply with primal, protective instinct.
Watch for — Smother or possess in the name of protection.
