Parenthood
“Parenthood often replaces selfishness with tender affections that rapidly fortify the soul and build the spiritual body.” Angels ascend and descend… The boundary line between Gemini and Cancer signifies the Sun’s highest elevation – the very gate of heaven. The degrees of the zodiac function like rungs on a ladder, extending from earth to heaven. Thus, various planes, like the angels in Jacob’s dream, ascend through the sky to their zenith in Cancer before commencing their descent.
Many enlightened ancients held a belief that the soul evolves by acquiring experience in one physical form before moving onto an astral plane at its dissolution. After a period of assimilation, it descends down the ladder to inhabit a new sign (♋) or more sophisticated physical body on earth. Each form constitutes a step on the soul’s evolutionary ladder.
This experience can only be attained through parents’ agency who provide opportunities for obtaining new physical bodies. As Cancer’s commencement marks the Sun’s highest declination and defines home’s domestic sign, parenthood is indeed the true gateway to heaven. Strife and discord within homes are potent enough to bring individuals down while domestic harmony is equally effective in lifting them up.
