Saturn In Cancer:
In Search Of Our Inner Adult
By Linda Brady
Saturn moves into the sign of Cancer June 3rd and stays there
until July 16th, 2005. Cancer symbolizes the womb of Mother Earth and is the
power of the female principle. She is the archetype of the good mother
emotional: sensitive, loving, compassionate, home-loving, nurturing and
protective. Cancer is lakes and pearls, home and country, cooking and family,
and the color blue. Cancer can also be frightened, over-protective and
smothering, overly emotional, and phobic of change.
Saturn rules Capricorn, which is the polar opposite of Cancer. As our karmic
teacher, it provides us the discipline and focus to become personally
responsible and successful in whatever sign it is transiting. It teaches us to
become structured, organized, patient, reality oriented, and mature. Above all
it asks us to become seekers after Wisdom. I have found two wonderful
definitions of wisdom to share with you.
Joseph Meeker in his Article “Wisdom and Wilderness” says: “Wisdom shows itself
as a perception of the relativity and relationships among things. It is an
awareness of WHOLENESS that does not lose sight of particularity or
concreteness, or the intricacies of interrelationships. It is where the left and
right brain come together in a union of logic and poetry and sensation, and
where self awareness is no longer at odds with awareness of the otherness of the
world.” Jerry Ortiz y Pino in the Santa Fe Reporter said: "Wisdom is the ability
to make sound choices, good decisions. The best decision. Wisdom is intelligence
shaped by experience. It is information softened by understanding."
Saturn in Cancer is the integration of Cancer and Capricorn, which can be
represented by the left and right brain. It is the union of emotion and
intellect that Jung defines as rationality. Cancer is the softness and emotion
that enables the practical intellect of Capricorn to become wise.
Wisdom implies adulthood and responsibility; integrity and character. Learning
how to be rational human beings implies that we access understanding and express
our emotions in a way that creates movement and resolution. Saturn in Cancer
also represents learning how to nurture ourselves and others in a more mature
way. To me, being a “cosmic adult” implies that we take on the responsibility of
parenting our inner children as our own good Mothers and Fathers. For those of
us that have children, this transit is the time to evaluate our parenting skills
and take responsibility to improve them.
Becoming connected to our inner adult is the quest of the next two years. The
following questions will help you stay focused on Saturn in Cancer issues.
-
What kind of good Mother and good Father does my inner (and external) child need me to be?
-
How do I help my inner (and external) child learn about emotions that can lead to rationality?
-
How do I become a more responsible, disciplined adult in my emotional life?
-
How am I still the abandoned child?
-
How am I still emotionally childish?
-
Where am I still operating as a victim?
-
Do I still blame my parents for my unhappiness and if so, what can I do about it?
Cancer is ruled by the Moon. Saturn in Cancer would ask us to
take the responsibility to observe and record our reactions to Moon Cycles. The
Moon changes signs every 2 and 1/2 days; so our emotions are liable to change
with the changing Moon. Learning about this cycle can help you learn more how to
anticipate and control your emotions.
Have a wonderfully emotional journey to finding your Inner Adult and the Wisdom
that comes with that connection.
