What is the essence of Cancer?How might ferocious protection intersect with tender care in the cardinal waters?What does it mean to wait a lunar cycle?In this episode, I invited esoteric scientist and poet Kodie Smiley to explore the archetype of Cancer, her rising sign. We discussed themes of protection, nurturing, and provocation through the lens of Cancer, filtered through Kodie's deep knowledge and experience of Human Design and The Gene Keys. We also shared the experience of grappling with our rising signs and waiting through a lunar cycle as a metaphor for coming into terms with our spiritual contracts in this lifetime.Here's Kodie's bio: "Hi, I am Kodie, a 6/3 Reflector born on the LAX of Dominion 2 (64/63 45/26). I am Virgo Sun, Cancer Rising, Aquarius Moon. I am a mother, a poet, a philosopher, a lover, a dreamer, a way finder, an innovative thinker. I am not here to conform, but to question new worlds into reality.I share from the language of Human Design. This system, to me, is not one of science but of deep self initiation into our most primordial, sovereign embodiment. Our bodygraph is the blueprint of the highly intelligent life force that we came to this world to remember.My work reveals the covert universal energetic connections that intricately weave through our existence and bind us to one another, illuminating the fascinating relationships we share with the cosmos."LINKS:The Observatory, Kodie's membership space: https://www.entertheobservatory.com/the-observatory-membershipThe Observatory Substack: https://observationsentangled.substack.com/The Observatory Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-observatory-podcast/id1763512306Kodie's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kodie.smiley/ If you've enjoyed and benefited from the podcast, I invite you to apply for private mentorship and coaching with me.
