According to kabbalists, each
month—whether we are born in that month or not—grants us specific opportunities
to overcome spiritual challenges so that we can go on to our next
level.
Cancerians, in particular, can be one of the most sensitive groups
of all the signs of the zodiac, and one of their spiritual missions here is to
find a way to balance their strong emotions. It is easy for Cancerians to fall
into moodiness, and oftentimes they form a sort of shell to protect themselves
from getting hurt. This is one reason why it’s so appropriate that the animal
that represents Cancer is the crab.
Incidentally, have you ever seen a
crab walk? A crab can only walk sideways. One of the goals for all of us this
month (whether we are Cancerians or not) is to do the exact opposite—to not walk
sideways, to not beat around the bush, to not manipulate. We need to have the
certainty that if we go forward and put our heart into something, that energy
will come right back to us.
Another two goals for this month are to
become aware of the blessings we have in our lives and to be careful not to fall
into moodiness.
For many people, there is nothing more important than
being happy. In fact, it is said that it takes fewer muscles to smile than to
frown. But happiness is not something that just “happens.” Happiness can only
happen if we choose that this is the way we want to see life. The glass has to
be half full. If we see the glass as constantly half empty, then that kind of
negativity is what we will create in the cosmos for ourselves.
We create
our own consciousness through our awareness. This means that if we wake up in
the morning and we say, “Thank you, God: I can see, I can hear, I can walk, I
can talk,” we’re going to have a different day than if we wake up and think of
everything that is wrong with our life. We have to be aware that even the breath
we breathe is a gift from the Creator. Even the fact that we can do what we do
is a gift.
This month, because of Cancer’s inherent energy, we need that
kind of awareness even more. There will be people that will come to annoy us,
and we will feel any underlying tension in our relationships. So the best advice
I can give is that we tell ourselves to breathe deeply and then take a walk
around the block.
If we do that, then when we come back, we can face
each situation from a different, more proactive place.
