Cancer/Scorpio Decanate Keyword-Revelation

Laurie Dixon, Hermetician

This decanate suggests we can rise above our basic impulsive carnal nature for the purpose of channeling this powerful energy—the creative passionate forces in our lives—to discover our true soul-purpose or significance—no matter how great or small.

To keep the discordant Plutonian thought cells of the astral body that contain the Universal Welfare thought cells from baring their menacing heads, we apply the natural antidote, which is the positive aggressive Mars thought element. This would be to apply some activity requiring positive work and initiative to benefit a larger, appreciative group. Engaging in cultivating a worthy and constructive purpose is of great benefit to society. This behavior then releases the highest frequency of Universal Welfare by allowing a greater range in broadcasting from other minds whether these minds are incarnate or discarnate.

— CC Zain, Course 9, Mental Alchemy. Lesson 98

Meet three people who share this Cancer/Scorpio decanate: Revelation.

Marianne Williamson

American inspirational speaker, author, politician, activist, and compelling New York-Hollywood celebrity guru, she was born on July 8, 1952, at 3:53 a.m. CST in Houston, Texas.

Marianne grew up in a conservative Jewish upper-middle class family. In the 70’s she pursued a career as a cabaret singer; had been “mired in a series of unhappy love affairs, alcohol and drug abuse, a nervous breakdown, and endless sessions with therapists.” After reading A Course in Miracles she underwent a “spiritual surrender.” This was the awakening of her divine guidance in all her worthy undertakings, her revelation. “A conversion to Christ is not a conversion to Christianity. It is a conversion to a conviction of the heart.” She has called religion a map in which “the route isn't important. It's the destination that matters.”

Her teaching, that Divine love is the core and essence of every human mind, stems from A Course in Miracles. Williamson did not charge for her lectures but had a suggested donation of $7 and a policy of not turning people away for lack of money.

Her professional career started as spiritual leader of the Church of Today where she had 2,300 congregants and 50,000 television viewers. Williamson has written self-help books, including A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of A Course in Miracles in 1992. It teaches that practicing love every day will bring more peace and fulfillment to one's life. Oprah Winfrey said, “I have never been more moved by a book than I am by this one.” Williamson became Oprah’s spiritual adviser. Williamson founded and has been actively involved in charitable organizations based on the Course in Miracles principles. She manifests her Neptunian ideals on stage where she can courageously get her message across.

Mars in Scorpio explains her intense, unshakable assertiveness to get things done—her impatience. Off-camera she is a bad-tempered, coarse-talking tyrant, and a control freak. Williamson’s offstage fits of temper and unchecked ego, as well as a cruelly abrasive management style, tends to alienate her powerful allies and give credibility to her detractors. Williamson has acknowledged that she may have to make additional room for personal growth.

She is currently seeking nomination in the 2024 Democratic Party presidential primaries, campaigning on progressive issues such as campaign finance reform, women's reproductive rights and LGBTQ equality. Williamson deems climate change to be “the greatest moral challenge of our generation.” She supports defining ecocide as a crime. Alanis Morissette wrote and performed her campaign song, “Today.” On July 15, 2023, Politico’s headliner read, “Marianne Williamson campaign is deep in debt.” Will she be able to overcome her challenges?

Quote: “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we're liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

Her Cancer/Scorpio Sun is powerful with Uranus and Venus conjunct. With her Sun in her Gemini 1st house, she is driven to speak. Her Sun rules her 3rd house, reinforcing her need to communicate, and it semi-sextiles Pluto, group co-operation and collective welfare. With Uranus ruling her 9th house of publishing, preachers and lecturers and Venus ruling both her 12th—the house of helping others through charity—and the 5th—counseling by being on stage—she has found her purpose in life.

Will she have success with her new journey in political affairs? With Jupiter in her 11th house of legislation making a sextile to her Cancer/Scorpio decanate, she certainly is following a new soul path.

Tom Hanks

Tom Hanks, American actor whose cheerful regular guy charisma, accessible good looks and quick wit made him a natural for starring roles in popular films. He was born on July 9, 1956, at 11:17 a.m. in Concord, California.

Hanks’ parents divorced when he was 5 years old. He and his siblings were estranged from their mother; raised by their father. The family moved frequently, finally settling in Oakland, California. At high school he became a born-again Christian, joining a fundamentalist movement, gaining a sense of security from his religion.

In college he decided to pursue acting after watching a performance of The Iceman Cometh. In 1976 he entered University in Sacramento as a theater major and quickly became seriously bitten by the acting bug. “Never give up because you never know what the tide will bring in the next day.”

His big break came in 1984 when he landed the lead role in Splash. The movie became a surprise hit; Hanks was suddenly a recognizable face. His major hit was in 1988 where he was the lead star in Big, playing a 13-year-old boy transplanted overnight into the body of a 35-year-old man. “If you’re funny, if there’s something that makes you laugh, then every day’s going to be okay.”

Hanks won an Oscar for Best Actor in 1993 for his performance in Philadelphia and in 1994 for Forrest Gump. He was the first actor in fifty years to accomplish the feat since Spencer Tracy. According to Hanks, “A hero is someone who voluntarily walks into the unknown.”

Recipient of numerous acting honors, in 2002 he was honored with the “American Film Institute’s Lifetime Achievement Award,” making him the youngest actor ever to receive that honor. In addition, he received a Kennedy Center Honor in 2014 and the “Presidential Medal of Freedom” in 2016. Hanks is the fifth highest-grossing actor in North America. He recently published two books, one on his passion for typewriters, the other on the movie business. But, most likely, we do not know that Tom Hanks is an ordained minister.

In 2016 he made a couple's wedding day special when he took a detour from jogging through Central Park and posted a selfie of himself with the wedding couple. He wished them many blessings and jokingly added, “I am an ordained minister, if the guy cancels just let me know.”

What is the source of Hanks’s worldwide admiration? He seems to reflect to audiences what we [Grab your reader’s attention with a great quote from the document or use this space to emphasize a key point. To place this text box anywhere on the page, just drag it.]

could be at our best when we activate our potential to be kind, compassionate, even heroic toward one another. “Even the simplest choice can make a jaw-dropping difference in our world...I think by and large a third of people are villains, a third are cowards, and a third are heroes. Now, a villain and a coward can choose to be a hero, but they’ve got to make that choice.”

His revelation began when he characterized himself as being a “Bible-toting evangelical” when he was a teenager. Today he continues to strive to be the best he can in all that he does. “I must say that when I go to church — and I do go to church — I ponder the mystery. I meditate on the ‘Why’ of ‘Why people are as they are’ and ‘Why bad things happen to good people,’ and ‘Why good things happen to bad people.’ The mystery is what I think is, almost, the grand unifying theory of all mankind. God is mysterious.”

Tom’s Cancer/Scorpio Sun is his most powerful, according to his astrodynes, located in the house of ambition, along with Mercury and Venus. The 10th is his most active department of life. Venus being his most elevated planet conjunct the MC, brings him world fame through his portrayal of heroic and memorable characters.

6“Truth is, I’ll never know all there is to know about you, just as you will never know all there is to know about me. Humans are by nature too complicated to be understood fully. So, we can choose either to approach our fellow human beings with suspicion or to approach them with an open mind, a dash of optimism and a great deal of candor.”

Venus, his charisma, is also the ruler of the house of religion. “Help publicly. Help privately. Help make sense where sense has gone missing. Help science to solve and faith to soothe. Help, and you will abolish apathy — the void that is so quickly filled by ignorance and evil.” His spiritual beliefs play an important part in who Tom Hanks is.

Frida Kahlo

FRIDA KAHLO, Mexican painter known for her many portraits, self-portraits, and works inspired by the nature and artifacts of Mexico. She was born on July 6, 1907, at 8:30 a.m. LMT in Coyoacán, Mexico.

Zain summarized the meaning behind Revelation: As a result of conditioning, we all have improper or inappropriate desires hiding within our unconscious mind. Because these desires are inextricably linked to the Desire for Significance — therefore Immortal — they cannot successfully be repressed. Denying expression is to have them show two different heads where there was one before.

Frida Kahlo best describes the nature of her Cancer/Scorpio Decanate Sun; “I was an intelligent young girl, but impractical, in spite of all the freedom I had won. Perhaps for this reason, I did not assess the situation nor did I guess the kind of wounds I had.”

Her revelation comes through her art. Her most famous paintings grasp the themes, thoughts, and emotions behind Kahlo’s two major events in her life: her traumatic divorce from fellow artist Diego Rivera, and a nearly fatal accident she survived as a teenager. She also explores several themes, from an interest in her ancestry and heritage to her struggles with childlessness and femininity.

Her Self-Portrait with Thorn Necklace and Hummingbird (Harry Ransom Center, University of Texas, Austin, Texas) remains one of her most widely recognized self-portraits. Completed in 1940, one year after her tumultuous divorce, it is widely believed to be a reflection of her emotional state.

“There have been two great accidents in my life. One was the train, the other was Diego. Diego was by far the worst.”

On Sept 17, 1925, in Mexico City at the age of 16, an electric trolley car crashed into the wooden bus she was riding and impaled her with a steel handrail. She suffered several serious life-threatening injuries as a result. After the accident, her life was spent in pain and dying, her intensity and appetite for life was voracious.

During her long recovery, she began to experiment in autobiographical portraiture. She spent hours confronting questions raised by her trauma, feelings of dissociation from her identity, a growing interiority, and general closeness to death. She drew upon acute pictorial images with psychological intensity for her canvases. This calm approach to pain is typical of Kahlo, who poignantly stated that “at the end of the day, we can endure much more than we think we can.” Her numerous self-portraits represent the inner identity struggle. She painted herself with an impressive, steadfast gaze for which she became famous. “I paint self-portraits because I am so often alone, because I am the person I know best.”

In pain all her life, she battled drugs and despair. She conducted affairs with women and men, including Leon Trotsky. Her paintings were rooted in real-life, a direct reflection of her persona, the human body and death, to help explain human behaviors on the outside.

Never fully well, Kahlo began to further decline in health. Several times she tried to kill herself, nonetheless, she continued to be productive during the 1940s. Following the amputation of her leg in 1953, Frida became deeply depressed, losing her will to live. “Feet, what do I need you for when I have wings to fly?” On July 13, 1954, at age 47, she left this world. All signs point to her death as a suicide by overdose, the official cause documented as a pulmonary embolism. The last words in her diary are a list of people she thanked, and the lines “I hope the leaving is joyful — and I hope never to return.”

In Mexico, Kahlo is known as “la heroina del dolor,” (the heroine of pain). “I am not sick, I am broken, but I am happy as long as I can paint.” Kahlo was viewed by many as an icon of female creativity. To this day she is still admired as a feminist icon.

Thanks to her highly personal approach to art, her innermost emotions and admirable imagination are perpetually preserved in her captivating paintings. Frida is renowned for her symbolic subject matter, colorful canvases, and series of self-portraits. “I paint my own reality. The only thing I know is that I paint because I need to, and I paint whatever passes through my head without any other consideration.” Her paintings are deeply personal. Given the intimate and emblematic nature of her pieces, their messages and motifs may seem too obscure to interpret, yet when viewed through a contextual lens, the inter-relation of the components, the meanings behind her poignant paintings begin to materialize.

Her Cancer/Scorpio Sun is part of a Cancer stellium with Neptune, her creative expression and Jupiter, her faith. Her Sun is in exact opposition to her Mars, with Neptune and Jupiter adding to the Mars assertiveness and aggression. Her Sun rules her 1st house where she needs to stand out, excel. Mars rules her 4th house, her traumatic and turbulent home life where she fights her battles, and it rules her 9th house of religion (her mother was a religious fundamentalist), where her faith and personal beliefs were constantly being tested with courage and strength or with impatience and destructiveness. It would seem with Uranus included in these oppositions, life with Frida was exciting, erratic, explosive, and eccentric.

Is not the MOSES painting above suggestive of the Cancer/Scorpio decanate, Revelation?

“I tried to drown my sorrows, but the bastards learned how to swim, and now I am overwhelmed with this decent and good feeling.”

May she Rest in Peace, free as the birds in her paintings.
