Feminist Cancer

How can a Cancer relax in our times? If a Cancer wants to fully experience themselves, they need the freedom of letting loose and being held in a safe web, that is not controlled by the Cancer themselves. They can’t be stretching to control the safe structure, that enables them to drift into cancer-land. That’s Capricorn’s job.

Now, which feminist Cancer would like to submit themselves to the societally delegated gender roles? The archetypes of Cancer and Capricorn are so quickly appointed as “feminine” and “masculine”. Nevertheless, if Cancer really wants to experience themselves, they need to be able to loosen the grip on trying to maintain track of time, sense of time, sense of “reality”. Cancer needs the no-time/ non-timeness experience, the melting-away, the losing-itself. But that’s not possible, not safe, without a safe holder (that is not only you).

So, the question is: How do we as feminist Cancers allow that yummy experience of melting, just like as we did as children, without falling short of safe structures that will hold us meanwhile, and without succumbing to problematic gender roles?
