When I think of Cancer these days, I can’t help but think of Kurt Warner of The Arizona Cardinals, whose Cancer Sun is at one degree, exactly opposite transiting Pluto in Capricorn. If you had watched The Super Bowl on Sunday, you would have witnessed the best and worst of Kurt Warner, bumbling and prone to making a critical error, to rising up and confronting his impending defeat by leading his team back into the lead, only to have victory, possibly The MVP and perhaps The Hall Of Fame, all snatched from him in a minute-and-a-half. Yet there he was on the sidelines; calm, poised, at peace knowing that despite his mistakes, he had done everything he could in order to win–the rest was in the hands of his defense, God and the referees. Even when the last play of the game for The Cardinals had ended in a somewhat dubious fashion, after a brief show of emotion, Warner moved onto the next moment, the next phase; the reconciliation.

In many, many ways, this is you right now, only you have at your disposal considerable depth and insight into your process and life in general. Warner specializes in going deep and this is what I would also encourage for you in February. Do not settle for outcomes that are topical, easy and superficial. Even when it seems like you’ve plumbed the depths of your dreams, nightmares and reveries, go deeper still. You don’t have to be Hamlet and bore everyone with your existential navel gazing, but, if done correctly and with dignity, you might just find that there is indeed a light at the end of the tunnel.
