woman shows itself most truly after thirty-five.  It is a slow-maturing sign.  Crabs don't race like greyhounds.  But the Cancer woman, often more oyster-like than crab-like, may take half a lifetime to grow her pearl - her wisdom about human nature, and the depth of her love for people and life.  Perhaps this is the most mysterious of all the faces of the Mother:  Sophia, which means, in Greek wisdom.  And wisdom comes from the heart, not the intellect.
