Caught in the middle..
"A modern Pocahontas" is another one of the Sabian symbols with a very specific cultural and historical reference.
The universal motifs are to be gleaned from a chief facet of the life of Pocahontas. Serving as a mediator, as a diplomat, as the person who can go between two parties, this what Pocahontas did.
She was also not much appreciated for her actions. Her own people tended to view her as morally wanton... 'Pocahontas' means 'wanton little thing'... while the white settlers saw her as an Indian whose only redeeming quality was to be reformed as much as possible in terms of their values.
Gossip is another core theme. Individuals with placement in Cancer 28 may do well to follow the 'rule of gossip' which states that any information not directly from the source is considered gossip and to be ignored.
There can also be gossip about the Pocahontas individual... like many little birds whispering behind the back.
In a way, it is like being caught in the middle, yet, there is valuable work to be accomplished as a go between. Misunderstandings can be cleared up. Warring factions can better understand their perceived enemies. What ever remains of trust and civility can be preserved. A single person's efforts can in fact set up a workable future that addresses all concerns.
When this position is stressed, one cannot expect any praise for the efforts though.
