Cancer – Planetary Fusion

7 April 2025, coloured pencils and photo work

The watery sign of Cancer is ruled by Moon. On the lower planes it represents the consciousness of the masses tinged by floods of emotions. Moon reflects the rays of all other planets, especially of Neptune. On the lower planes, Neptune causes (self-) delusion and glamour. On the higher planes, Neptune refines us, offering profound experiences of ecstatic joy and absorption into oceanic states of awareness. Its colour is aquamarine.

The painting is an inner and outer contemplation. You see a shape of the earth as floating in the ocean of space, a fragile jewel and our home and basis of physical existence. The sea surf in the lower part of the image forms part of the ocean but is also a latent menace of flooding when the heat of the earth increases. As per prophecies in the scriptures, our present wave of humanity will either learn to master the fire / heat or be destroyed.

In the upper part you see a garland of seven stars representing the cosmic Seven Rays from where energies pour forth. Their planetary counterparts are depicted by seven flame-like drops created with transformed photos of aquamarines – the prevalent colour of the image - and a blue jewel, taken in a shop at Iguaçu Falls in Brazil. The drops and the stars indicate the help coming from higher dimensions if we orient to them.

End of March 2025, Neptune entered Aries for a new cycle of 164 years. Saturn, representing laws and regulations, will follow soon and form a conjunction with Neptune, in sextile with Pluto in Aquarius. The painting has been created during this time. It invites us to ponder on the incoming energies, on what we see and what we don’t see and what we might add by our knowledge and awareness in order to gain a more complex picture of the planetary fusion of all life on the planet being one whole.
