RE: 🚪 "The Twilight Zone" - Overcoming your Fears under the Moon in the Temple of the Secrets
First a little translation thingy for a tricky astrological sign.
Even though Cancer (zodiac sign) is represented by a crab, the way you put it is a little akward... One can be "a Cancer" but a Cancer does not have a claw... a crab has a claw. The Cancer (being a sign) refers only to a person (who seldom has a claw to match....)
So you could say: "resembles the claw of a crab, which is the sign for Cancer (ruled by the Moon) . I think in German Krebs is also the animal. It's sometimes a bit delicate (I presume also for German) to use this term at all because of the misforunate connotation to the disease, and more often people just use the term Crab for the zodiac sign.
For the rest, perfect use of indigo! THE colour for the lonely eeriness of self-reflection and mystical memory, but also for that state of being that is too closed off from others/society. The danger of illusions and make-believe (inner worlds) is very tangible in your card. Always the pay-off for going deep within on your journey to self-knowledge. Will the pilgrim make it out through the night any the wiser still? Or will he remain trapped in refections of his own machinations (mind= also ruled by the moon/silver).
A wonderous uncertain (water) world without grounding, with hints of sexuality (also ruled by moon) and trippy fly-agaric cherries on top!
Superb!
Thank you so very much for the help with the wording. Yes, very tricky indeed for a German! With your permission I'd like to edit my post the way you suggest it.
For the rest, cordial thanks for your compliments and further explanations! 🙏
I still knew what you meant, but that is kind of them to give you the right useage. I wish I could understand or write in German as well as you do in English.
This piece is amazing and I LOVE that you use that bit of hope from the crab's claw reaching up. This says a lot about what I love about your work in general, that spirit of hope and joy.
I'm lucky that I inherited my mothers spirit and optimism. Guess that always comes through in my work. I take it as a compliment, when my work, even the darker themes are perceived as uplifting :-)
