Positions
Psyche in Cancer
With Psyche in Cancer, the soul is most sensitive around belonging, family, and emotional safety, so you feel deeply and absorb the moods around you. The growth comes through being nurtured and learning to nurture without losing yourself. The gift is a profoundly empathic, caring soul. The shadow is a tenderness so porous it takes on everyone's pain, or retreats into its shell. The work is feeling deeply while keeping your own center. At your best your soul deepens through safe, tender belonging.
Lean in — Feel deeply while keeping a center that is your own.
Watch for — Absorb everyone's pain until you cannot find your own.
