Cancer in 2010
|
Overview
Don't stray too far from your inner caretaker this year, Cancer. You may be in a near-constant state of crisis control or spin doctoring in 2010. It's not you; it's the people around you. Their lives are in a state of flux, and they're going to need your nurturing. The year starts right out with Mercury retrograde in your relationship sector until January 15th, so be especially careful communicating with partners during this time. April likely will bring stress to family, work or both. Responsibilities keep you close to home and hearth in the second half of the year, but the siren song of the outside world may be hard to resist. The tension will be especially strong at the lunar eclipse on June 26th. You'll probably experience similar tensions for the next couple of years, so now would be a good time to develop some coping mechanisms. Of course, responsibilities must be attended to, but you need time to yourself as well. Give yourself the respect and honor you deserve. The details of your life could get particularly complicated in August and September. Don't skimp on self-nurturing during that time. Better still, make it your rule of thumb for the entire year. Try to schedule a couple of vacations. They don't have to be long or far away. Anything outside your usual sphere will do.
Love And Romance
There's a lot going on under the surface of your relationships this year. You can thank Pluto for that. Despite the demotion, it is still a powerful influence, and it's transforming your closest partnerships. By the end of 2010, you will start to understand what it's all about. You'll get a hint in January, when a solar eclipse and Mercury retrograde both activate your relationship sector. From mid-May to mid-July, several planets move through your sign -- normally a light-filled affair. But, this year, power struggles are the order of the day. Top that off with a solar eclipse in your sign on July 11th, and it seems that the evolution of your relationships is all the universe is asking of you right now. If you're single, your best prospects for romance are in the second half of 2010. Love planets Venus and Mars join together in your romance sector in October. However, Venus will be retrograde from October 8th to November 18th, and you may be separated from your beloved. Use this time to examine your own heart and understand what you truly want and need in a relationship. By December, what started as a romance may turn into a commitment as those hidden issues bubble up for exploration.
Career And Money
From the beginning of the year until March 10th, Mars is retrograde in your income sector. During this time, you'll want to keep your money firmly in hand. Also keep in mind that initiatives you take now will need to be redone later and may not be as favorable for you. Routine matters are fine, but don't open new accounts or issue any loans. Financial experts agree that we could be in for a tough ride in the next few years. For you, Cancer, this is an excellent time to take stock of what is really valuable, especially if you've been on the money treadmill. Changes in your career may encourage this reflection. In March, be extremely attentive to the undertone at work. This is when your natural intuition comes in very handy. Some startling events could come in May or June, and it's better not to be caught totally off-guard. Cancer doesn't appreciate surprises. Instead of getting overly anxious about the future, take effective action by living a little more frugally. This should come easily for you. You can be very conservative, not in the political sense, but in the good old-fashioned way of thriftiness.
