Our Fourth Season: Cancer We have moved through the chatter of the Twins and now arrive at the cooling, intuitive waters of the Crab. Is your next great read written in the stars? Come join the conversation as we transition from air to water. We are continuing our journey during Cancer season (June 21st โ€“ July 22nd). As a Water sign ruled by the Moon, Cancer invites us to turn inward, honoring our emotions, our lineage, and the concept of "home." This is a time to celebrate intuition, vulnerability, and the protective shell of the soul. Our Fourth Read: Black Woods, Blue Sky by Eyal Meiron (2025) For our fourth pick, we dive into this evocative and deeply felt narrative. It is a masterclass in Cancer energy, capturing the true spirit of the Crab through its focus on the tides of memory, family secrets, and the magnetic pull of the past. Why itโ€™s a "Cancer" Book: Cancer is a Water sign, ruled by the Moon (the celestial body of emotions, instincts, and the subconscious). The narrative of Black Woods, Blue Sky is anchored by that same lunar, protective, and deeply intuitive spirit: Family & Roots: Cancer is the sign of the Matriarch and the Home. This story delves into the complexities of familial bonds and the "inherited" emotions that shape who we are. Emotional Depth: Much like the deep ocean, Cancer energy feels things profoundly. This novel prioritizes the internal landscapeโ€”the "blue sky" of hope and the "black woods" of our private fears. Memory & Nostalgia: The Crab often walks sideways, looking back at where it has been. This book mirrors that movement, exploring how the past informs the present and how we protect our softest parts from the world.
