Hi Marina,
I have this symbol in Cancer....my Mars sits upon it!
This is what I've come to understand of this symbol, which has, as I've written this, explained the previous symbol...the rabbits!
When I first looked at this symbol, I had a creepy feeling of dread. Here we have a small naked girl (pure spirit, pure innocence) reaching for a fish (spirit). Water is from whence we sprang, ……returning to the womb!
Spirit reaching spirit – this is too one sided! This child is young and knows not of the dangers. Where there is light, there is also the shadow…and the stronger the light….the deeper the shadow!
Where are the child’s caretaker’s? Nearby? As this child bends, can we hear her mother’s screams, the run of hurried feet? Someone catching hold?
Action=Reaction
When my children were very small, each them were given lessons on how to swim. Myself, I am a poor swimmer and have had a fear of straying too deeply into the waters…..of losing control….panicking, drowning. Yet it is this fear, this will to survive that saved me. I was in a little dingy too small for my weight which tipped and sent me deep into the waters. Driven by the fear of dying, my body swam upward, kicking with all its might. Help was nearby, but I will never forget how it felt holding my breath, it was if my lungs, my heart were on fire, ready to burst at any moment. But I was not a child, I was close to my twelfth birthday.
This child has no fear of the unknown…freedom of doubt, which takes us to the other side of this symbol.
A new dimension has made itself known…a motion, an intensity that takes our breath away! It could be a different perspective of something seen or done before, which is being illuminated in a new way. A doorway to another world..a world of the spirit!
Sink or Swim
My Mars sits in this symbol. And with great patience it has learned to breathe under water. But it took many years to understand that my rational, thinking mind could relax, surrender and breathe in water…..but it is also here we have no power and must at some point break through and swim upward and flow with the water’s current or dissolve in the realm of spirit….an escape from the harsh realities of life!
It is here that we see Fulgour’s persistence in the Decanates and the three crosses! Perhaps reading this he will explain more fully, the mutable, the fixed and cardinal crosses....different levels of BEing...strengthening our connection to the physical, the emotional and mental bodies.
We the masses as a whole are moving from the mutable cross of these three worlds (physical experience) to the Fixed Cross of Transmutation, (the mental plane). Our struggle is learning to control the emotions and ease the pain and frustration we feel as we move through the decanates (Ah the rabbits on parade?)…a new found freedom….a move from selfishness transformed into selflessness.
Perhaps Fulgour can expand on this…….Fulgour????
