Positions
Demeter in Cancer
Demeter in Cancer is the maternal principle in its element: deep, instinctive nurture, fierce protection, and a powerful bond of belonging. Your care runs to the roots, and the grief of loss and the joy of reunion are felt to the bone. The gift is a profound capacity to mother and make a home; the work is to nurture without smothering and to let the cycle of letting go and reunion turn.
Lean in — Mother deeply and make a true home for those you love.
Watch for — Smother those you love or refuse to let them go.
