Full Moon of Cancer

“As you develop, the people around you also develop. As you progress, the world progresses with you to a certain degree.”

Master Choa Kok Sui

The astrological signs are symbolic representation of the soul’s evolution. From the initial entry of spirit into matter, to the evolution to a spiritual aspiration. The soul then evolves to becoming a disciple, and continues evolving until it desires to achieve Oneness with its Higher Self.

The sign of Cancer is the last of the four preparatory signs:

• Aries gives the aspirant the faculty of exercising their mind.
• Taurus gives them the desire to move ahead with their spiritual goals.
• Gemini brings them awareness of their essential duality – a spiritual being with a body.
• Cancer gives them birth into the next stage of evolution.

In these signs, the soul on its journey begins to appreciate all the various tools available to it. From realizing that they are more than just a body, to understanding the existence of the energy body, to learning about the astral and mental bodies and progressing from there on.

The full moon of Cancer gives the spiritual aspirant their first touch of mass consciousness. Equipped with a controlled mind, a capacity to be divinely inspired and illuminated and the ability to recognize the divinity within others, they are now ready for greater work.

The sign opposite to Cancer is Capricorn and these two represent the two gates – one opening the door into the birth into the human family, and the other into the spiritual state of consciousness. One marks the beginning of human life on the physical plane, while the other marks its climax.

Cancer was originally called the birth month of the Lord Jesus.

We are familiar with Capricorn being the birth month of the Christ, as he was born on the 15^th of December, but in very ancient times, the birthday of the divine infant was observed in the summer solstice. In the constellation of Cancer, it was said to be the gate of the sun through which souls were said to descend from their heavenly home to earth. While in the winter solstice in December, they were said to return to their heavenly home through the constellation of Capricorn, and it is made possible through inner conductivity, or faith.

In the Bible, there’s a story told of a woman who touched the hem of the Lord Jesus. Jesus said, “Somebody has touched me. Power has gone out of me.” The woman said, “It’s me. I am healed.”

There was a transference of power because she was super conductive, because she had faith. This faith is seen in another story when a soldier requested the Lord Jesus to heal his sick servant. The Lord Jesus was ready to go to the soldier’s home to administer healing, but the soldier said there is no need to physically visit. “Just give the instruction, he will be healed”

Because of his faith, his conductivity, the energy passed through him, to the servant. So, when he went to see the servant, the servant was healed. Another term for faith is conductivity.

Conductivity occurs when there is humility and gratitude. When there’s deep humility and gratitude, the energy will flow through you; you will be empowered and you can spread the teachings, and can manifest the Divine Plan.

In the Esoteric Healing books written by Alice Bailey, it was mentioned that energy healing will be introduced and spread before the end of the 20^th century. With the spreading of energy healing comes the global initiation for mankind. It means that the consciousness of human beings will be lifted up to a higher degree, because energy healing will serve as a bridge to spirituality.

The astrological sign that symbolises this rise of global consciousness is Cancer. That is why we have to do our part of the work of sowing the seeds, of spreading Pranic Healing.

With Pranic Healing comes Achieving Oneness with the Higher Soul, and Arhatic Yoga and the higher teachings. We have been born to do the work, so it is time to spread the Teachings.
