The arc of the 30 degrees in Cancer
The arc of the 30 Cancer degrees tells how belonging comes into being. It begins with the image “A furled and unfurled flag displayed from a vessel”, the shifting tides of the heart, moves through the image “A group of people who have overeaten and enjoyed it”, a convivial fullness, and flows into the image “A Daughter of the American Revolution”, loyalty to one's own heritage.
