Twelve Cancer Paintings

Cancer, the first water sign of the zodiac, symbolises the descent of the souls into matter. When matter prevails, we tend to forget our true nature and get conditioned in the ever-changing world of forms. Moon, the Lord of Cancer, represents the reflected state of the soul in the form and also the inconsistent movements of our emotions. We as souls are beyond reflection and are essentially light. But we tend to forget. A teacher who is also a yogi reminds us of the essential identity of the Soul with the Spirit. And he teaches us how to consciously relate to the origin. For this reason, it is an ancient tradition to worship the teacher during the full moon hours of Cancer and to reinforce the discipline of relating to the light of the soul.

The symbolism of Cancer is visualised in the twelve Cancer paintings done between 2010 and 2021. For detailed detailed descriptions please see the ludgerphilips.org website.
