The Moon rising in Cancer
I chosen to write about Selene due to the fact that the Moon is the Ruling planet of Cancer and today is the Full Moon.
Selene is the Titaness of the Moon, daughter of the Titan Hyperion
and the Titaness Theia. She is the sister of Eos (Goddess of Dawn), Helios (Titan
of the Sun) and Titan. She is represent the Mother aspect of the Moon. Selene
drove a silver chariot and two white pegasi.
Selene is the Patron Goddess of the Feminine. She is have
the power to ease childbirth and inspire love. Selene also is believed to have
the power to mask reality and, conversely, to pierce illusion.
The mother aspect of the triple Goddess represents womanhood, she is represented by the full moon, were she is at the height of her reproductive potential. The Earth as Gaia, the mother, in whom life can be reborn, where seeds germinate and produce new crops, so the Mother Goddess was also able to bring forth new life. Selene, is the fruitful mother, the Star Goddess, the Sky Goddess, the keeper of the silver wheel of stars, is honored at the Full Moon and the days of the full and new moon were set aside for her worship. She is also a teacher of the magicians. As Luna, she had temples at Rome on the Aventine and Palatine hills.

She is beautiful and famous for her love affairs. She has
been with Pan, the Greek Horned God, when he seduced her with a beautiful
fleece, a herd of white oxen, or just with his dashing good look. Pan
accomplished the seduction of Selene by disguising his hairy black goatishness
with white fleece. Selene consented to ride on his back, unaware of who he was,
and Pan proceeded to ravish her.
Some sources report that the Nemean lion, which fell to the
earth from the moon, was the result of an affair of Zeus and Selene, and that
she had given birth to the monster on Mount Tretus. Others say that the Moon
Goddess created the lion out of sea foam enclosed in a large ark at the request
of Hera, and that Iris enclosed it in her magic girdle and bore it with a
fearful shudder, dropping it on earth. You see, as punishment for a promised
sacrifice that was not fulfilled, Selene set it to prey upon the people who
dared dishonor her, the story goes. They were called Bambinaeans, and they were
terrorized by the beast until Heracles (Hercules) came along and subdued it. Also with
Zeus she had Pandia, an exceedingly beautiful woman, and two other daughters.
Selene’s most famous love affair
is with Endymion. Endymion was a handsome shepherd or hunter who became the
first astronomer to observe the movements of the moon. Selene noticed this and
fall in love. She came down from the heaven to be with him. She began to stray
from her duty and night became more violent. Zeus cursed Endymion with eternal
sleep but give him immortal and eternal youth. Selene visit him every three
days out month creating New Moon. With Endymion she gave birth FIFTY daughters, whose became the lunar month and the handsome
Narcissus, whose beauty led to a tragic end.
Cancer
Cancer is the astrology sign that is packed full of
contradictions so when it comes to independence; they possibly can or cannot be
independent. On one side, they have the perseverance and drive to do what needs
to be done, they are self-sufficient and do not need to depend on other people
for the material and physical things in life. On the other hand, they depend on
people for emotional support and encouragement. A Cancer that is not fully
self-actualized will need the constant support of others and will not be very
independent but the Cancer that is 'evolved' and has properly harnessed their
emotional issues will be wildly successful as an independent human being. They
crave attention and comfort from other people and they are happiest when they
have a small, close knit group of friends or family.
The Cancer man will not be direct with you. He will approach
you cautiously and slowly. He will be very romantic and flirty and attempt to
court you and win your heart with lavish gifts and attention. The reason he
will never be direct with you is that he has a strong underlying fear of
rejection. Of you are interested in a Cancer man, you will probably have to
make the first move and ask him on a date. He falls in love easily and will
make you his whole world. Once you "belong to him", he will hold on
to you and can become quite jealous and possessive. This is because he is
worried he will lose you to another man and that would crush his spirit. He
needs you to be loyal and faithful for he is the same, in a strong and close
relationship, Cancer men are the most loyal of the astrology signs. They make
excellent lovers for the tender person who loves romance and being swept off
their feet. Cancer is very affectionate and thrives on holding hands all the time
and constant physical contact as he absorbs the situation and experiences with
his feelings. The cancer man is all about feeling. He might not show it however
and might portray a calm and cool exterior but underneath, he feels deeply and
intensely. Cancer men are easily offended so do not jokingly make fun of them
for they will take offense and get hurt, but once again, this will not be known
to you. He will simply sulk on his own while he tries to figure out and dissect
what you said. Cancer men are excellent male protectors; they are like the
knight in shining armor. If you are the kind of man or woman that likes being
looked after and cared for, and loves affection and devotion, this romantic,
sensual man is perfect for you.
Cancer is very physical. Expect sex with Cancer to be a fully
encompassing sexual experience. Lots of tender foreplay, massages afterwards,
candles lit by the bedside, soft music in the background, delicious scented
potpourri, everything to appeal to all senses. It will be delicate and
passionate and an experience you won't soon forget. To not expect too much
novelty and experimentation because Cancer is a very conservative sign not my
cup of tea. Some Cancer people might be willing to try something new but they
will never be the ones to suggest it, you have to or it will never happen. They
might go along with your idea because they do enjoy new experiences. Make them
always feel safe and secure when trying anything new and they might love it and
incorporate it into your regular sex life.
Cancer
