4. CANCER

Fourth Sign of Zodiac.

Cardinal Sign of the Watery Triplicity.

Active Sign of the Maternal Trinity.

A strongly maternal, domestic, home-loving type; very sensitive, and much inclined to complain about mental and physical discomforts; broods over the past, and fears the future.

II — PRECESSION OF THE EQUINOXES

Here Cancer showered the earth with cosmic rays from 8941 to 6784 B. C. This was an emotional war-like period that preceded the Golden Age of Atlantis.

Being a Matriarchal Age, goddesses were worshipped in their religions, and queens were the ruling power of the nations; motherhood was idealized; thus man was considered a necessary drone in the scheme of things. Even armies were made up of women!

The next Cancer Age will not appear until 16,943 to 19,100 A.D.

LEO . . . not comfortable. Leo loves pomp and display, while Cancer is all home front. Cancer is thrifty and sensitive, and is hurt by Leo's lack of self-consciousness.
