SABIAN SYMBOL · 25° Cancer
"A willful man overshadowed by a descent of superior power."
divine guidance · beyond personal will · surrender
Meaning
Individual will meets a superior power. This degree elevates Cancer's family-matriarchal feeling into the spiritual realm; the person experiences not mother's love but the "Great Mother" archetype. People here are mystics, healers, therapists, spiritual counselors. Will resists while making peace with the higher power. "Let it be mine" changes to "let it be if it should be."
Shadow
Completely rejecting personal will; getting lost in passivity.
