Wednesday, June 21 | Litha Cover Image

SINCE not everyone will make the connection between a breast and the summer solstice, it seemed worth a mention. It's a simple enough reference to classical astrology: Cancer is the astrological sign of the breast.

Cancer is the sign of nourishment, mother, home, emotions and safety -- so the breast is a perfect body part to assign to the role.

But to me, the symbol is one of primal care...the first place we reach for nourishment...the ultimate safety and as Freud said, part of the original landscape. I am aware that for some, there may be a 'shocking' moment when seeing such an image -- but I really do wonder how or why that could be.

Here is a link to the cover, for when it changes to something else later today:
