Positions
Icarus in Cancer
Icarus in Cancer dares in matters of the heart and home, taking emotional risks and seeking the exhilaration of feeling fully. Your flight is tender and protective of what it loves. The gift is the courage to risk your heart; the work is to keep enough caution that emotional overreach does not lead to the painful crash.
Lean in — Risk your heart with courage and tenderness.
Watch for — Overreach emotionally until the fall wounds you deeply.
