~Is Less More?~
Moon in Cancer
1 Memories of the past and dreams of the future are fine, as long as they do not take the place of reasonable care for duty. “A man is asleep by the side of some money-bags.” Where shall the money go if one does not take care of it? Or perhaps give it graciously rather than let it be taken?
2 Isolation and pride are suggested by “a solitary tree upon a rocky height.” Behind it is “a dark and threatening cloud,” that is, one might suffer from the machinations of enemies. The cure might be to avoid making such enemies in the first place by making clear to them that one is not a threat. “Pray for your enemies and persecutors.”
3 “A man on the top of a mountain waves a red flag to prevent a promiscuous crowd from rushing over a cliff.” We need such individuals, endowed with discernment and forethought. They are “able to detect a fault where others would see nothing wrong.”
4 Sometimes less is more, as in “trimming palms” to get rid of what impedes beauty and functionality. Taking away what detracts enhances what remains. There is “harmony between the workman and his materials.”
