Ironically this can be said of the sun as well ... could this be why they call us the Sol people i.e. Sol ... Latin for 'Sun'? We spell it as the Soul but Sol is the more logical term. We hear this consistently when we dance, cook, sing, etc ... they say we have 'Sol/Soul' and thus we are the 'Sol People'. I will explain in further detail below.
This would make us the leaders of the waters signs under Cancer. Yes the Moon controls the water but as Gods aren't we supposed to rule the earth as a whole? I've also heard that we were born under the sign of Cancer but then that doesn't seem right to me as well. I believe we were born on the cusp of Cancer and Leo ... the mother (moo) and father (sun) sign.
They sun carries 76 percent Hydrogen and 22 percent helium ... others as 2%. As we all know, water is made up of H2O ... This is the union between the father and mother ... fire and water - sun and moon.
I believe the theory of being born strictly under the sign of Cancer was our ancient teaching of a matriarchal society. I believe we lost our knowledge of this perfect union of balance between the father and mother which is why we lost our power.
Peace and Blessings
