CANCER, THE ZODIACAL SIGNA symbol of the fourth period of the cycle of life. It signifies the lower mind energised from the astral plane. The "crab " or the "tortoise " (Indian sign of Cancer), is a symbol of the lower nature into which the soul descends in involution. "Porphyrius says, . . . Theologians admitted therefore two gates, Cancer and Capricorn, and Plato also meant these by what he calls the two mouths. Of these they affirm that Cancer is the gate through which souls descend, but Capricorn that through which they ascend (and exchange a material for a divine condition of being)." - MAX MÜLLER, Theosophy, etc., p. 145. |
