Cancer 119
this planet is the ruler of Cancer to the beings of Shamballa.
Without a proper link of an able Guru, this is a very
dangerous path. It may lead the disciple into the
subconscious levels, where the mind is lost, mediumship

Shamballa to the supra-cosmic plane. Except Sanat Kumara,
no one is an equal to him in perfection. The incarnation
of Rama is located in this sign. Moon and Jupiter in Cancer,

vibrations of Moon. Music is based on charging the sounds
