In this deeply reflective episode, we explore the archetype of Cancer through both an astrological and political lens. Ruled by the Moon, Cancer is tied to home, care, emotion, and memory — but in today’s world, these themes extend far beyond the personal. We unpack how the Cancerian archetype shows up in conversations around immigration, labor, mothering, and global injustice. From the trauma of colonization to the emotional labor of caregiving, this episode is a call to remember that feeling is not weakness — it is power. And it’s time to let that power move us.

Key Themes We Explore:

• The Cancer archetype: home, memory, mothering, and emotional labor

• Feminism and the undervaluing of caregiving work

• Immigration, ICE, and the politics of displacement
