A Real Boy

Gemini 2° (May 22)

I must bring this project home today which I definitely will do. Things require a light touch. Chicory salad with candied walnuts, Roquefort and pear for dinner, and a lovely new Gamay.  Onto the work at hand: And we turn back to Pinocchio to help explain that paradox: The Player, who is designed to pretend in the dual sense of that infinitive—making believe as well as laying claim to, as one would, a throne, befitting the eternal prince of the zodiac—is, taken together, aspiring to both an increased sense of authenticity and authority. Pinocchio is of course seeking realness, to use the vernacular, while you might also say he wants to feel alive because he doesn’t quite. In terms of authority, too, the archetype is spot on—not wanting to be anyone’s puppet, he seeks agency. Having a casual relationship with the truth, and a carelessness in regard to other’s feelings could describe a Hemingway as easily as Pinocchio. All Cancer men fabricate to some extent or, at the very least, exaggerate their experience and accomplishments, particularly as they come of age. The sign rules the life span from 21to 28, and for the whole of his life the Crab guy metaphorically projects that time when we are first embarking into the “real world”, leaving the protective confines of home and school environments, seeking to make good first impressions. And, all his live long days, there is forever an element, no matter how slight, of the Cancer man padding his resume, just as that plastered on, if not somewhat plastic, smile of his doesn’t smack of one a candidate might wear at his first string of job interviews. As much as it is designed to mask anxiety, it is likewise set in place to disguise any lack, not only of personal substance, but of a genuine concern for others, that they might otherwise find lurking behind it. It’s only when Pinocchio braves the deep, a metaphor for his own emotional interior, that he finds it in himself to risk his own safety and security and survival to be a hero to others, that he transformed into a real human being; but, as that archetype of the father, not truly a father at all in the real sense, from the Force Majeur film perfectly illustrates, it mightn’t be an automatic function of the Cancer man’s nature to take any proverbial bullets to protect others, but rather something that can be developed increasingly over his lifetime. Indeed, if one is to buy into that notion of incarnating as a particular sign to learn a set of life skills, you might consider this very one to be chief among them. Which leads us to another paradox particular to the sign of Cancer which is in order fully land in life it can take being uprooted.

Bent Out Of Shape

Gemini 1° (May 21)

Friday. It feels like Saturday all day. I will make a lovely beet and goat cheese risotto for dinner. Someone will think it’s the best risotto they ever had. I will let that opinion stand. I dread meeting with FF and am going to keep my distance. The Lt. did call me back but then he didn’t. I am going to focus now on my writing: To unpack all this: When called to greater purpose to be an agent of his own higher-power, or simply faced with the difficult task of forging a new path, personally, professionally or otherwise, Cancer man can be most reluctant, hoping against hope that his current circumstance, with which he has made himself so comfortably at home, will continue to float him in a desired direction, clinging, sometimes delusionally, to the unreality that this will bear out. Instead he may attempt to escape it which only brings stormy emotional weather, landing him in the pit of some leviathan of his own making, forged by his own denial. Acceptance, you see Cancer, is golden nugget you must take away from this tale. It is the key to allowing another tributary of hope to open up and keep you going with the flow, or more accurately flowing with the go. You must keep in mind that endings are beginnings, such that when you hit a so-called dead end, it is in accepting the fact, and processing it thoroughly, that you then get “the go” to discern a stronger, swifter path toward realizing your potential. God being the divine in you, you must seek your own forgiveness for anything and everything that might have played a part in your being swallowed by whatever challenging circumstance in which you find yourself. Only through such acceptance do you build the strength and gain the experience to share this with others, to be a source of some salvation to loved ones, or even acquaintances or strangers, who might find themselves similarly trapped at some point. Avoidance is not your friend, but it will keep landing you in those bellies—remember, it’s one of the body parts ruled by the sign of Cancer—where, it’s up to you how many times, you will be faced with life lessons which, though they may entail disparate details of circumstance, will always be along a larger theme of trusting in some kind of rhyme or reason, if not a divine order. The paradox of being a clinging Crab man who just wants to land successful opportunities and in comfortable situations is that you are called, sometimes many times in life, to re-create yourself and your circumstance, and coping with uncertainty doesn’t come easy for you, while learning to do so is your greatest all-encompassing calling. Hardly anyone sees behind your seemingly insouciant, congenial countenance to the worry, and sometimes acute anxiety, that is churning your own gut, but we know it is there by astrological design. Cancer man often hold on so tightly to everything they’ve already got because of the trepidation, or true terror, that it is going to be swept away at any given moment. This can of course lead to furtive forms of self-medication which of course can quell fear for a time, facilitating a façade of functionality, but any such quick cures soon become the prime ailment. And before you can say Ernest Hemingway, you’ve gone from being the great white hope (an idiom employed to describe someone “destined to succeed in the exteme” with full awareness of its negatively charged connotations which one need eschew) still wet behind the ears, to some self-destructive escapist, spending most of his time, in this case, both literally and figuratively, at sea. Cancer’s is a most sensitive emotional instrument and it does require careful protection. Like a hermit crab, which needs to shed and adopt larger and larger adopted, typically sea-snail, shells as it ages and grows, the Crab man too must cultivate the sense of carrying with him the feeling of being at home wherever he roams. It may be easier said than done, but like they also say in recovery: In order to keep it, you have to give it away.

Cooling Off

Gemini 0° (May 20)

Not sleeping well. Certain home readings through the roof. I must now address it all before I get way too, too out of whack. All this stress is just not fair and we will have justice. I did have this pretty crazy dream which I now realize is recurring: We discovered a sort of secret part of the Cape, driving down a road on the ocean side in Truro, where there was this intact retro kind of village like a small Provincetown, and the shops were really beautiful and we were commenting on how nice and quaint it was and there was a corner building that had a store front and looked like a little apartment upstairs and I thought this is for us. There were also white cows and sheep along the road that led toward the ocean, so it was much more like being in Ireland or England or Wales or something than here. And two cars were racing and one was a Volkswagon driven by a woman who had a similar feel to Kathleen the estate agent. That is that. I must focus on what’s right in front of me and this is it: The most mysterious fourth house is also that of endings, which we see reflected in the rock-bottom element endemic to any recovery process. In order to get to the other shore, providence of a promised land new beginnings, it is necessary to bid a final farewell to certain circumstance, attitudes and behavior that no longer serve one’s well-being. Because Cancer man sees things through to the end more than most, he tends to have an intense and profound personal experience of processing finality and uncertainty, which open up onto new vistas. When faced with some such situations where he finds himself “at sea”, and, moreover, in the “belly of a whale”, having to deeply soul search while being in a difficult spot, if not an emotionally dangerous one, tasked in the extreme, facing hard choices, it is ironically a such points that the Cancer man can separate himself from his previous world  and confront that which has been holding him back, so to realize his as yet un-lived potential. In this way, the dynamic of passage from the “home” he comes from to one he is newly creating doesn’t just apply to his actual place and family of origin and the one he builds in adulthood, it pertains to everything—career, workplace, social milieu, intimate relationships, intellectual creative interests, spiritual beliefs and practices, personal evolution. He must be “at home” in all that he does as well as where he does it. And this dynamic will, and should, Cancer, time and time again. This is the pattern of his personal path. The proverbial belly-of-the-whale analogy is of course a reference to the biblical Jonah but it also draws on Cancer man’s more animated archetype of Pinocchio, the two tales providing separate and distinct insights into the Cancer character. In the story of Jonah, which is Hebrew for dove (the very sign of providence from which Noah knows deliverance is at hand), he is a recalcitrant figure, in whom we glimpse the more negative aspect of the Crab man’s own intractable, clinging nature. God orders Jonah to sail to the debauched city of Nineveh to prophesy its destruction lest it’s people repent; thinking the trip and task too difficult, surely not a path of least resistance, Jonah ignores the order and escapes by boat in the opposite direction, only to find God has kicked up a storm. Realizing he may cause the ship’s destruction, he begs its crew to throw him overboard, which they do, whereupon the seas calm and Jonah is swallowed by the whale of the tale, where he remains for three days, begging for God the father’s forgiveness, which granted sees the whale vomit him onto the shore. In Pinocchio’s story, it is the father figure, Gepetto, who is swallowed by the whale; and upon hearing this news, Pinocchio, guided by his own higher power in the form of Jiminy Cricket, travels deep into the sea, entering the belly of the whale, where he and Gepetto build a fire that will smoke and, actually, sneeze them all out onto safe land. Both are stories of redemption, that is what they share; but whereas the Jonah tale is about humbling oneself, seeking forgiveness, and being granted second chances, Pinocchio’s story is about selflessness, summoning strength and courage to save someone he loves, which results in his being transformed into a real boy.

Heating Up

Taurus 29° (May 19)

The reports from Wellfleet were slanted as expected. I will leave a message for the Lt. and hope for the best. Lawyer says that he and opposing counsel will visit—eek gads I hope so. We will go see a house in town today. Beautiful location horrible abode. One last night of fattening food before I get back on the health wagon. It is definitely time. Anyway I have my work and I’m leaning into love it, Today’s progress: And there is something quite Après moi, le déluge about the Cancer man’s mindset, that is to say he can be so nihilistic as not concern himself with whatever happens after he’s “gotten his” out of life and is gone. In the film Force Majeure a family of four are on an alpine skiing holiday and, as they are lunching outside, an avalanche occurs. The father runs to save himself, leaving his family at the table—the avalanche doesn’t actually reach them—and he has to deal with the emotional cracks in his marriage and family that ensue. If such a move were to be busted by any man in the zodiac it would likely be the self-protective Crab, who, to be fair, isn’t necessarily premeditatedly so. A tendency for escapism, whether real or by way of his imagination, is part of the Cancer man’s emotional estate. Neither here nor there: just as the fourth astrological house rules both one’s home of origin and that which one creates for oneself—the dynamic of passage befitting this cardinal-water sign of crabs, arks and Moses baskets carried along by rising floods or rushing rivers—it also governs property, inheritances, customs, mores, folkways, family traits, heirlooms, and other such things that get passed down or along. These attributes are in no way divorced from the fact that the fourth house also rules the underlying foundations of one’s own family, ancestry, as well as cultural identity and stability, patriotism, and the like. Heritage is important to the Cancer male, who typically reads as a fairly traditional fellow. He tends to go with the collective flow in his aesthetic tastes and fashion choices, for example, rarely one to be labelled extreme in any sense of the word. His is a wide appeal; and his path is one of least resistance, despite his zeal and hustle to realize goals and dreams and fulfill his palpable promise. Just as he sets off early on his life path, one of the least deliberating of lands, he likewise wants to land himself the opportunity to dig into a career situation, say, where he can grow and prosper. He isn’t one to jump from one situation to another in a professional ascent—he doesn’t climb, he clings, getting his claws into positions with which he can make the most over time. As one would expect from this most emotionally sensitive sort, comfortability in environment is key to his success and happiness. This resident of the fourth house must feel at home even while out bringing in some bacon. He seems on the whole affable, unassuming, anything but calculating, but don’t let that disarming character fool you. Beneath his convivial half smile and laughing eyes lies a shrewd, competitive character who will insinuate himself into desired positions of power and influential social spheres.

Mosqitoes Bite

Taurus 28° (May 18)

Did I mention I made grilled romaine salad with parmesan and this lovely lemony capery garlicky shalloty mustardy kind of sauce with parsley and toasted pinenuts. Yumbo. S. is delayed coming back due to an earring piercing mishap. I’m pretty exhausted but just going to keep plugging along here. Was a semi tetchy evening but I did manage to get the following bits accomplished: Baby Moses is the incarnation of Hope floating on the cardinal-water rush of a river. All his birth mother can do is hope for his recovery and rescue and deliverance by an adoptive one, which one day will allow the sage, higher-powered Moses to deliver his entire native people. The fourth astrological house, mind you, is that of both the home you come from and the one you create for yourself, passage, transition thus being baked into the energy of this sign. From the moment the young Cancer boy gets his emotional bearings, he is already on a journey of recovering from whatever he feels is ailing or lacking in his home and experience of origin.  You might say that the Cancer is born into recovery and remains in it all his life. We even see this mirrored in the biblical Flood myth as Noah was a drunk; his building of an ark can be read as metaphor for making himself a solid promise, a covenant, and his own re-pair being symbolized by all those animals, two by two. Noah may have invented the first recovery program out of personal necessity. If the Fall is about experiencing life as a sudden split—Geminis are the most, and mostly benignly, split-personalities—then the Flood is about moving toward the repair of said split. The Cancer symbol, of course interpreted as a crab, can also be viewed as two peas or seeds in a single pod, in either case floating along, not determining the direction, rather going with the proverbial flow. All of this, too, being a metaphor, to use a recovery phrase, for living life on life’s terms. In our book Sextrology, as we said, the Cancer man chapter is called The Player, and the Cancer woman chapter, The Pearl. These titles respectively speak to the strategic navigating of life as something of a game or contest, and the refining, perfecting effect that even the most tumultuous life, with its turbulent ebbs and flows, can have on a being, again by way of acceptance, living on life’s terms. Of all the men in the zodiac, Cancer man learns soonest that he should play his cards right, that life is sink or swim, and that it’s never too early to become the you you wish to be, forever hoping for a better life for himself than the one he was born into, or even that which he lived yesterday. The most evolved Cancer man will be rehabilitation incarnate all his days, repairing any faulty infrastructure in his upbringing, yes, but also that of his family history pre-birth. That is to say if there is an ancestral headline that he believes requires rewriting, if not a complete etching out, in his family tree, he will make so. And so, we see another facet of this player’s pretense which can be quite dramatically delusional. The Flood myth can also be one of pure escape and singular self-preservation to the exclusion of a care for others.

Clean And Somber

Taurus 27° (May 17)

So today is going to be a certain kind of nuts. My list is a mile long. I am going to completely scrub the house down from top to bottom—mop floors and windowsills and baseboards. I will of course wash all the bedding. I decided to Google how to remove candle wax from a table, our dining room one needing a lot of help. I have sinks that I need to Green Gobbler. I wiped down pretty much every surface of the house. I also went to the dump and got my car inspected a ordered a new switch for my window. I made an arugula, sorry rocket, pesto and put in the freeze. I pre-washed some butter leaves for tomorrow’s lunch. I added more fresh herbs to the chowder that’s been brewing on the stove and in the fridge. I cleaned the oven. I went to the bank and saw that this new cannabis store opened in Wellfleet and I took a tour and bought myself a tiny one-hitter, having (if you read this) not been able to find this cool blue crystal pipe I love to use on occasion; but it had been ages since I took a hit of anything that surely this has to be synchronicity. Maybe I’m stoned writing this right now blah ha ha. Despite all the uphill battles right now, most of which are combined into the most emaculate shitshow (yeah, I’m stoned—tomorrow I’ll regret the phrase). I have a perfect shot and I can take it. Doesn’t make sense that at the same time I have huge challenges. But what if neither thing were actually true but all just illusion needing to dissolve. To get to the Pisces place which paradoxically Pisces people might be the most challenged to enter…well not enter since they are most naturally and essentially “there” but, to be fair, it can be overwhelming, to be born into a sign where it’s so all or nothing, nirvana or nullification. Hey this is good stuff (I’m referring to the writing not the cannabis).

Zeroing In

Taurus 26° (May 16)

Today was definitely a letting go of sorts. I will get a great deal done and we poise to stick a landing. It’s so strange but I had an urge for some herb today but for the life of me couldn’t find my smoking device. I’m sure it will turn up. Just one of those kind of Sundays…it will be productive and just as well as I don’t take the risk of cannabis making me think I’m smarter than I am. I hate when that happens. In any case I’m not going to do any home chores until tomorrow. It takes so long, when one is alone, to make decent things and then you only end up eating a few bites, often standing up. And then everything else just goes into the larder, to use a posh word. It reminds me of a friend of mine who is really trying to make a success of social media and I now realize she was always performative. It’s the Taurus/Scorpio line.  I think I’m understanding Mahler. I did call the Board of Health— it occurred to me that the overgrown grass could be a hive for ticks. Okay some prevailing thoughts:

Last Straw

Taurus 25° (May 15)

I will be making a salad tonight and when I dump a large bowl of water out the back door senor FF will be standing there once again, glaring at me. I’ve had it. The grounds are in a state of complete neglect. I will call board of health to see if something can be done about long grass. I fear ticks. Anyway more police interaction, which is wearing really thin. We will fix this with lawyer on mid week, meanwhile I am convinced FF’s attorney has quit. Radio silence: Anyway I will continue to muse astrological: The Crab will keep his emotions locked up until he establishes a safe means for their expression—in relationships, environment and chosen vocation. It may come as no surprise that irony is also one of Cancer’s superpowers, the ability to get across his point of view, often a sharp and searing one, in a softened, even satirical way. These little jabs, whether directed in his creative work or conversation (typically both), serve as an escape valve for what might otherwise be a deluge of feelings, despair included, he otherwise, purposefully, keeps pent up. He will protect himself to the death from pain and suffering, needing to learn that the former is inevitable, and the latter, a choice. Meanwhile he does what he can to mitigate all difficulty in his life for the paradoxical reason that he sees life as inherently difficult enough. The Cancerian life experience is all about passage, recovery, promise and deliverance, and men of the sign are predisposed to believing they are born into a journey aimed at landing them on a more hospitable shore than from whence they originated. Like many marine creatures, birth is immediately followed by a race not just for survival but certain thrivation.

Marathon Man

Taurus 24° (May 14)

An old friend passed away this week and try as I might, with everything going on, I don’t think I can travel to attend memorial in person. We will send flowers if that’s allowed or make a donation to whatever charity is set up. Trying to keep on track work wise: The Crab will keep his emotions locked up until he establishes a safe means for their expression—in relationships, environment and chosen vocation.

Day Off

Taurus 23° (May 13)

I will eat lobster roll today and have a quiet day. I will try to get a little bit of writing in the bank. Moving forward with the idea factory: It is said hope floats. And, as the driving force of recovery—metaphorically, something that Cancer man is in all the time—he personifies the very concept. Noah was a drunk, so he is acquainted with experiencing on a personal level. His personality is hinged on the transition from Gemini to Cancer. If the Fall is about experiencing life as a sudden split—Geminis are the most, and mostly benignly, split-personalities—then the Flood is about immediately moving toward the repair of said split. The whole thing about putting animals together, two by two, onto an ark is literally about re-pairing. And another meaning of the word ark is a promise, one which we mainly hope we can keep to ourselves. The Cancer symbol can be interpreted as a crab, but also as two peas or seeds in a single pod, in either case floating along, not determining the direction, going with the proverbial flow. All of this, too, being a metaphor, to use a recovery phrase, for living life on life’s terms. In our book Sextrology, the Cancer man and woman chapters are called The Player and The Pearl, respectively, and they speak to the strategic navigating of life as something of a game or contest and the perfecting effect that even the most tumultuous life, with its turbulent ebbs and flows, can have on a being.Life, to the Cancerian ideal, is in toto a process of recovery and rehabilitation, repairing any faulty infrastructure in our upbringing, especially, but also any family history pre-birth.  We all decide what we want to retain, and indeed recover, about ourselves, and that which we wish to be washed away, typically elements of self that block or undermine that which we are determined to take on our journey. The fourth astrological house of Cancer is a mysterious one because it rules both the home you come from and the one you create for yourself; it is, in this way, a verb, a sign of action and movement as befits its cardinal status. Cancer people, as a snapshot of the sign’s energy, are on a journey, nearly from birth, to mete out that which they want to leave behind from that which they want to characterize their future promise, any negative past conditioning from their own self-propelled providence. On an impersonal, more universal level the Cancerian experience is what we collectively pass on—customs, mores, folkways—which is no way divorced from the notions of putting things to rights, securing cultural identity and stability—and also real and metaphoric inheritances from family traits to heirlooms and property, actual real estate. In the Greek flood myth, where the pair of Deucalion and his wife Pyrra, alone, survive the entire wiping out of humanity, it is the goddess Themis who appears to them as they reach the “other shore,” at the very point of recovery, to instruct them on just what they must do next. And she’s the lady for the job.
