Cancer 9

Presumably, the man of the Omega Symbol is engaged in the process of making flower remedies. There is a set of orchid remedies that are made in just this way—by collecting the dew off the orchids and using it as the remedy. On one level, the skeleton here is the spirit of the sign Capricorn, which rules the bones of the body. With its verb being “I use,” Capricorn has to do with finding ways to make use of everything. You’re about finding the most efficient ways of using anything for the purpose of nurturing—as well as the joy of dying, which always births new potentials.

Of course, on another level, the skeleton is death. But here, rather than being a force to fear, it offers beautiful music, reminding us that death is what allows us to live, grow, and flourish. The melody of the flute suggests that even what seems empty or finished still sings with possibility. Knowing that death is only a part of the cyclic process, rather than the permanent end of all things, we see through its illusion, and can then enjoy the beautiful music it makes with life.
