CANCER HOROSCOPE for DECEMBER 2024

CANCER/CANCER ASCENDANT

So let’s talk about Mars, spending the better part of Sept till April in Cancer. An rare, extended transit to figure out how you handle Mars energy:

Coming to terms with your personal vitality, discipline & wilfulness, to take charge of your own Destiny. And how you handle passionate desire, in terms of chasing the goals that turn you on, with lust for life and the sexy desires/lustful seductions in your love life. And how you handle conflict, whether healthy ways to assert yourself or complex, psycho-emotional power trips?

So yeah, it’s quite a trip wielding your charisma & power as it rises up, in affirmative ways. I mean such a wildly positive transit-and you will realise how confident you have become, to thrive on your own terms by Feb! Also meanwhile, Mars in & out of retrograde during this time can be darned frustrating-it’s not like you can force immediate progress or control freak the process, the whole time…

For example Mars temporarily in your 2nd house of personal security/prosperity right now. Direct until Dec 8th, then retro for the rest of the month. So much promising progress as the month begins-then gah, you have to chill out and be patient about how the process evolves! Yes, let’s talk about that:

The New Moon of Dec 1st, in your practical 6th house, with Mercury involved. A fresh perspective on the kind of healthy habits and clever work ethic, that help you get your act together and feel beautifully productive.

Especially square Saturn & Neptune in your expansive 9th house,  trine Destiny Point in your brilliant career sector & opposite Jupiter retro in your soul sector. To remain keyed into your most exciting aspirations, with a meaningful sense of spiritual & creative growth. In many ways you feel so free, to chase your dreams here!

Yes, but also Mercury in your 6th is retrograde, until Dec 17th, so you may have some tricky scenarios to figure out. And ok, you can bitch about how tedious, fluctuating  details and delays are cramping your style, as you try to get your act together. Also do admit, could be lovely to take the time to focus on genuine, intelligent self care. Healthy habits can take a bit of time to finesse, before you see the benefits of renewed wellbeing, right?

And with Mars retro in your prosperity sector from Dec 8th, it pays to slow down & drill down on the exact details of your biz/day job/financial plan. It all begins to make more sense, with Mercury direct from Dec 17th. Then plenty of time to pick up real momentum, when Mars direct in Cancer from late Feb…

Meanwhile we need to talk about Pluto. After 15 years in your 7th house, clarifying the hell out of the rules of engagement, with your key relationships. Presumably you have ditched any obviously toxic connections, and a much more honest handle on the special people still standing in your life. Now officially in your 8th house-for the next 20 years.

I guess if you’re exhausted by the relationship learning curve by now, the bad news is Pluto is now going to drill down even harder, on the subtle power trips and psycho emotional/sexual/financial dynamics, with the people you are inevitably entangled with. And if are relishing the chance to really, truly understand your relational patterns? The good news is Pluto is about to reveal the power & the passion-of embracing the honest, sexy, energising aspects of the subtle power trips and psycho emotional/sexual/financial dynamics, with the people you are inevitably entangled with. Yes, if you read that again you get my point, obviously. The courage to really understand the deeper feelings, with your lover, family, tribe & nuanced financial interdependence is your natural thing!

I bring this up because Venus & Ceres into your 8th house together, exactly conjunct Pluto Dec 7th. Such a profoundly lovely moment, to reveal the special connections that matter, in your life. Venus brings sweet romance, especially flirty wiles to do with seductive intimacy. And super charming & creative, to do with biz negotiations. Ceres brings your natural affinity for genuinely caring, mutual support. The loved ones who truly have your back and you adore them for being your loving tribe, more likely to show up here.

Then the Full Moon of Dec 15th in your soul sector. Joining Jupiter still retro in your 12th-your inner world is still wrangling the search for spiritual meaning-which is a beautiful process, the more you can be patient with yourself, right? And opposite Sun, and Mercury turning direct in your practical 6th house. Even the most simple healthy choices, aligned with your spiritual intentions foster a lovely sense of wellbeing here.
