Hello,
This is the zodiacal season of Cancer the crab, cancer the one that protects. Cancer rules the stomach, the breasts and the womb. Cancer rules containers and containers in the body, for example the pericardium, the container around the heart, so cancer rules things that contain. Containment is a useful word to describe the womb containing the baby, we would hope this would feel safe in a ‘good enough way’. Cancer is the sign of the home , the actual home where we reside physically with our possessions and with our family. Also the home of our body, where we live for all of our Earth years on this planet. The internal body can be helped by exercise and nutrition, both of these seem to be a priority of the young adult generation that I see and hear around me, with their food prepping and gym routines and their look maxxing. All of these are helpful of course for our bodies. But I’m still waiting to hear the phrase ‘psychological maxxing’. Because 
a healthy psychological body and society is also part of the puzzle.
The inner world and the outer world are both important and I am an advocate of psychological maxing at the moment with the view that if everyone was living their psychological best lives the world would be better for all of us.
I’m not denying the outer world at all. I love sports and fitness and eating well AND I love feeding my internal world well too. Psychology and astrology are intimately linked. Jung discover this and I’m sure he wasn’t the first, but maybe the most well known psychologist to do this. He was a Leo after all, the sign that tends to be seen, (whether they want to be or not).
Sometimes the sign of Cancer the crab is about actual physical mothering and fathering in the external world, which of course is vitally important. But our own internally caregiving is vitally important too, especially when we reach adulthood. If we can honour our own body parts as if they were all little beings needing tender loving care how amazing would we feel?
I have observed that the often difficult and draining task of being a parent can leave our own internal life a little neglected. But like the often used quote, ‘put on your own life jacket before helping others’, it would be wise to remember to do our own internal work before trying to help others do theirs.
Bert Hellinger famously said that he wouldn’t work with children , because it is their parents that need the help. And the parents that send their children to psychologists are often the very ones that are projecting their inner difficulties on to their children.
So if you fancy some psychological maxxing soon, get in touch and help me and others and yourself . (Really I should have said to help yourself first, because we know you’re the most important person, ask any Leo ! )
