Body Zodiac Correlations

Traditional body zodiac correlations tell us that Cancer rules the chest - home of the physical heart and the metaphysical or esoteric heart - and the sweet state of openheartedness.

Honoring the Bridge

Cancer is a water sign, denoting emotions and the archetype of motherhood. Cancerian energy presides over nurturing, the kind that rescues us from our ancient abandonment, the loss of the watery warmth of the womb. Being nurtured by openheartedness can part the dark sea of emotion that threatens to engulf us. It's like being taken by the hand and led safely to shore. Protection invokes tenderness, inviting more and more openness until finally, we surrender to the power of love.

Gorgeous Bridge Pose Setu Bandhasana (and more great yoga instruction) embodies the beauty of cancer:

• uplift the chest, open the heart
• rise above the ceaseless flow of emotion, as a bridge arcs over the water
• rest in witness consciousness

Yogastrology for Cancer

Yoga teaches us to sense, to feel. Everything. And from that place we begin to notice an endless flow. Feelings come, feelings go... change is constant. So what is real? The Self inside you, the one who witnesses the flow. Your big, open, eternal heart. That is who you are.
