CANCER HOROSCOPE for JANUARY 2025

CANCER/CANCER ASCENDANT

So the New Moon of Dec 31st, in your love sector brought in the New Year with a lovely clarity about relationship dynamics, as they’re likely to play out this month. Especially with Pluto getting real in your 8th house of vulnerable emotional & sexy entanglements, with Venus as January begins. You get that you are still digging deep, to feel beautifully, authentically connected with your loved ones. As is your natural genius, of course. More on that later.

Meanwhile let’s talk about your expansive 9th house. Where you get to explore your visionary dreams with largesse -permission to be a free spirit to do with your travel plans, academic/philosophical interests and getting out of your comfort zone generally, in an exciting way:

Venus into your 9th from Jan 3rd, brings your sparkly creative attitude, to dream wisely about expanding your horizons.

Then Destiny Point into your 9th from Jan 13th, immediately conjunct Neptune. The Destiny Point/North Node is about discovering our most

meaningful sense of purpose in life-that we came here to experience, as part of our spiritual evolution/aligned with the collective evolution around us. Which has a special affinity with the 9th house-all about seeking the broadest sense of meaningful growth.

Neptune in your 9th has had you idealistic for a while, about the kind of magical life you want to live. But of course Neptune can be kind of dreamy-not necessarily motivated to make stuff happen on it’s own. So Destiny Point on board, could totally unlock your Neptunian inspiration!

Especially with Venus involved, exactly conjunct Saturn by Jan 20th.

I mean Saturn in your 9th since April 2023, has totally been a reality check about permission to chase your dreams-or not. Maybe Saturn has taught you to be crafty, with pragmatic strategies about pursuing your goals one step at a time? Maybe Saturn has been cramping your style with one tedious delay after another-doing your head in? So Whether Saturn has steeled your resolve, to work your ass off towards high Qi, Neptunian aspirations? Or squashed your dreams a bit, what with the demands of basic survival-maybe disgruntled enough to succumb to loose, Neptunian lack of discipline because what the fuq?

Venus conjunct Saturn this month so fabulous, for manifesting magic. Venus brings the sparkly confidence, to renew your belief in the integrity of your most cherished dreams. Suddenly feels so sweet and available, to wrangle your dreams into reality-because you deserve it!

Because meanwhile you are in the middle of an extended transit of Mars-

charging in and out of Cancer between last Oct and this April. Mars wants to recharge your batteries, for a rush of physical vitality, sexy charisma and lust for life to go forth and prosper. Exciting times!

Yes, but it required some patience, to pace yourself when Mars turned retrograde early December in your 2nd house-and certain material schemes temporarily stalled. Cue Mars back into Cancer from Jan 6th- retrograde in your sign for the rest of the month, for even more patience about slow burning personal progress. Dammit?

Especially intense with the Cancer Full Moon of Jan 14th, conjunct Mars retrograde:

On one hand, it’s a bitch that you are so fired up with impatience to express your true feelings with confidence in the world, yet a weird sense you have to hold your horses about it? Frustrating much?

On the other hand it could feel sweet, to embrace a personal sabbatical for a while. Taking time out from the idea you have to prove yourself to anyone, or force the issue about asserting your point of view, in order to feel relevant in the world.

Because your most sexy charisma right now is the dark horse, mysterious kind. Quietly replenishing your energy in the background, scheming your next move has everyone wondering what kind of magic you are brewing-wouldn’t they like to know! This actually has you eminently desirable….

Because also this Moon is fully revealing about relationship dynamics.

Opposite Sun in your 7th conjunct Pluto in your 8th-the houses to do with love, partnership and deep emotional, sexual & financial entanglement. Fully authentic feelings are revealed with your loved ones. Maybe devoted commitment/loyalty/sexy passion turning you on, with people who appreciate you for who you truly are-even when hiding out, re-calcifying your shell in hermit crab mode. You so deserve this unconditional love, of course.

Or if power trips arise, that you really want to clear the air about arise? Ooh you could be feeling quite bitchy about this! Ok but get this-the rules of Mars retro is that whoever initiates conflict likely to lose, so maybe keep your powder dry and strategically let them show their hand first. Know what I mean?

The New Moon of Jan 29th, in your 8th house with Mercury exactly conjunct Pluto is way more auspicious-to figure out the rules of engagement, with your natural emotional intelligence.
