Trust your instincts
Deeply intuitive and sentimental, Cancer can be one of the most challenging zodiac signs to get to know. They are very emotional and sensitive, and care deeply about matters of the family and their home. Cancer is sympathetic and attached to people they keep close. Those born with their Sun in Cancer are very loyal and able to empathize with other people’s pain and suffering.
The sign of Cancer belongs to the element of Water, just like Scorpio and Pisces. Guided by emotion and their heart, they could have a hard time blending into the world around them. Being ruled by the Moon, phases of the lunar cycle deepen their internal mysteries and create fleeting emotional patterns that are beyond their control. As children, they don’t have enough coping and defensive mechanisms for the outer world, and have to be approached with care and understanding, for that is what they give in return.
Lack of patience or even love will manifest through mood swings later in life, and even selfishness, self-pity or manipulation. They are quick to help others, just as they are quick to avoid conflict, and rarely benefit from close combat of any kind, always choosing to hit someone stronger, bigger, or more powerful than they imagined. When at peace with their life choices, Cancer representatives will be happy and content to be surrounded by a loving family and harmony in their home.
Cancer – the Brave Crab Sent to this Earth by something they believe in, only to mess with someone bigger than they are, this isn’t an animal aware of their strength. Patriotism can make them endanger their own wellbeing, fighting for someone else’s cause, as if others can become their higher power. The Crab knows where they’re going, but this is often in a wrong direction, at least until they learn their lessons and start relying solely on themselves.

What the 10 of Disks Really Means
When you look at the 10 of Disks (labeled Wealth in the Thoth tradition), the first thing you notice is a stunning pattern of ten golden coins resting against deep purples, blues, and solid stone-like discs. These coins form the pattern of the Kabbalistic Tree of Life, showing how ideas in the mind eventually travel down into the physical world to become real, solid things. At the very bottom sits the astrological sign of Virgo, reminding us that true prosperity never happens by accident; it grows through patience, careful attention, and steady daily effort.

The Essence of the Two of Cups
The Essence of the Two of Cups
When the Two of Cups appears in a reading, a gentle, healing wave washes over your life. In the Crowley-Harris Thoth deck, this card is simply and boldly titled Love. Unlike the fiery, dramatic passion seen in popular movies, the energy here is calm, radiant, and deeply fulfilling. It represents the quiet magic that happens when two separate streams flow together to create a single, harmonious river.
Looking closely at the imagery, you will notice two delicate lotus blossoms connected by a green stem. Two golden-scaled dolphins or fish twine around the center stem, gently pouring bright, pure water into two golden cups below. In astrology, this card corresponds to Venus in Cancer. Venus represents love, beauty, and value, while Cancer is the water sign of emotional security, home, and caring devotion. When combined, they bring unconditional acceptance, emotional safety, and mutual support.
The water overflows continuously without draining away. This visual detail holds the heart of the card: true love is not a transaction where one person gives and the other takes. Instead, it is an abundant, shared flow where both vessels remain full.
