Well, faithful readers, this blog post finds me with emotions all over the place. I realize that the sign of Cancer the Crab can be sensitive, but this is ridiculous. In part, I know it is largely due to the loss of a very dear friend of mine for a little over 20 years. Her name was Cheryl Ann. She was a giving, kind, artsy spirit with a joyful laugh. She loved organic food, belly dancing, theatre, and traveling. I’m so glad she was able to make her dream journey to Greece and Italy come true before she passed away. It hits close to home when someone disappears so suddenly, and young. Life is such a strange and fleeting thing, so we’ve got to savor every moment we’ve got, and let those know who are important to us, how much we deeply care for them. I believe Cheryl Ann knew that about myself and our mutual friends. I will dance on for her, the best that I can.
Astrological Influences
And the passing of sweet Shelley Duvall strikes a chord, as well. She was a great inspiration for our musical parody, “Shining in Misery: A King-Size Parody.” A true comedic and serious talent both–her sensitivity and talent will be missed. I have always had many close friends who are Cancerians, Astrologer/Medium/Reiki Master, Lynette Corsten, being one of them. She is a beloved return guest on our “Women Who Howl at the Moon” podcast and came up with a splendid idea to do randomly chosen readings for five of our listeners this month! There are some great overviews for the remainder of the year for Capricorns and Pisces, so you’ll definitely want to give this fun new format a listen! You can learn more about Lynette and the services she has to offer at her website.
Healing Rituals
Since Cancer is a water sign, perhaps we can all so well to soothe any troubled feelings on or near the water this month. Taking a walk by a lake or pond, getting out on a sailboat, canoe, or kayak, and packing a picnic lunch along to enjoy might be just what the doctor ordered. I know I am going to take my own advice and make a point to do a simple ritual of just that. Perhaps even studying the rain out the window during the next popup storm is in order. The element of water is always here to heal us, and able to help–even when it seems nothing else can.
