astrology and past lives…
MOONINCANCER-CAPRICORN
principle… break the bonds or die.
transformation… there are no true limitations.
the cancer-capricorn axis is related to traditional values, to home and career, and so one logically would assume that people with the moon in a cancer-capricorn karmic configuration would have a strong attachment to traditional values and social customs. however, our research reveals a surprising phenomenon regarding these individuals. in nearly all of our cases, we found that these people were raised to believe they were bound by tradition and family values. dominated by their families in all aspects of their lives, they were forced to conform. at some point, however, the basic underlying drive to be themselves burst forth, and these individuals broke with traditional values, sometimes for everyone’s benefit, sometimes to their own disadvantage.
the cancer-capricorn axis is related to parenting. the presence of the moon in one of these signs - especially cancer - seems to indicate a need to serve, a desire to be the nurturing parent. usually, the “parenting” is unconventional in some way.
in almost every instance, we find that the individual with a moon-cancer-capricorn karmic configuration possesses an inner rebelliousness and a need to serve in their own way - whether or not it coincides with traditional ideas. these people are dominated by their families, who force them (either directly or subtly) to conform to their standards until such time as a progression, mostly of the progressed ascendant or midheaven, triggered by a transit or lunation, causes them to rebel and follow their need to serve. sometimes these indivuals become estranged from their families’ because of this rebellion. always they fall in their families estimation, at least until they have time to prove themselves again.
perhaps these conditions make it difficult for such people to advance on their own terms. at many junctures in their lives they find themselves estranged from their mates or mothers. however, they appear to have a great deal of determination and self-control, which enables them to persist in their chosen courses of action even though it may cause emotional pain or separation from those they love.
the karmic reasons for this situation appear to be twofold; the need to break with tradition and the need to serve. upon studying the past-life histories of these individuals, we find that they have spent lifetime after lifetime slavishly obeying the dictates of society, sometimes devoutly believing in those standards, sometimes resenting but still bowing to them, other times eventually rejecting them entirely and becoming outlaws. in the latter cases, there appears to be an excessive amount of guilt remaining in the subconscious from lives in which they hurt their loved ones by failing to do what was expected of them.
in choosing to be born at a time when the moon was involved in a cancer-capricorn karmic configuration, it appears these entities have decided that the time has come to complete the cycle of bowing to authority and move on. using their cancerian traits, they nurture and serve others for whom they are responsible in the best way they can - be they a king’s subjects, a doctor’s patients, or customers at a way station.
ifsaturn is involved in the configuration, there is a sense of fatefulness about the situation. the karma between these individuals and those who oppress them is so strong that the break is much harder to make. there are intense bonds between them and their oppressors; they have been connected in many, many lives and sometimes the bonds involve powerful affection. therefore, when the separation comes, it hurts these individuals even more than those from whom they are separating, yet there appears to be no choice: the break must be made. in some of our past-life cases, such people have been backed into a corner and forced to kill loved ones (or have them killed) in order to make the break and serve in the manner of their karmic obligation. saturn’s presence in a moon-cancer-capricorn configuration represents perhaps the most agonizing of such situations. but it is still possible to use the sensitivity of the moon and determination of saturn to accomplish one’s goal and to better the world as a result. when uranus is involved in the configuration, rebelliousness is already characteristic of the individual so when the break with tradition comes, it is no real surprise to family or friends. however, the break with the family is never a complete one. these people manage to maintain enough of their family ties or social traditions that they always have a haven they can return to if necessary. in the past, it seems that these individuals have broken with tradition many times and found themselves alone, with no one to turn to. the current life pattern shows that the need to make the change still exists, but this time the individual is not willing to risk suffering as in prior lifetimes. if neptune is involved in the pattern, the person lives in a world of fantasy and illusion, and may find after making the break that life is less appealing than expected. these individuals retreat further, into alcohol or drugs, artistic pursuits, or psychic and spiritual studies. they rarely return to their former lifestyles, however, for they are devoted to whatever ideals or fantasies caused them to make the separation. their fantasies can be channeled into constructive pursuits, such as writing or music, yoga or meditation; and the practicality of capricorn can be used to combine imagination with a realistic view of life in the world. if pluto is involved, the “break” is more likely an inner transformation than an outward, physical separation. the need to revolt is there, but these individuals find ways to change themselves and their practices so that they can incorporate their need to serve into the traditions with which they were raised. like those with uranus in the configuration, these people have suffered in past lives because of a stubborn need to reject all society’s standards. although they still feel the need for social change, they realize that the only part of society they can change for certain is themselves.
