Cancer Forecast 2009

Themes: marriage, partnerships, business ventures, learning and ideas.

There are lots of big things happening for you especially in personal relationships and in the business area. Pluto moved into Capricorn on November 26th 2008 and stays there for the next sixteen years. This means that it falls into your seventh house as Capricorn is the opposite sign to Cancer. Your one-to-one relationships will come under the microscope during this Pluto cycle. There will be huge transformation in this area. For some of you it could mean divorce and upheavals and maybe even going for marriage counselling. For others, it may mean finding space for your soul mate and life partner to come into your life.

Big things are starting to happen in your life. These are the kind of things that will define the quality and direction of the rest of your life. One the positive side your personal charisma and innovative mind wins you great support. At times you can feel truly inspired, especially when it comes to ideas on how to grow your business, increase sales or solve problems. In personal relationships, your power of attraction is strong. If you wish, you may meet many new and interesting people this year that may turn out to become part of your social circle.

Yet there are also stirrings deep within you that seem obsessed with the idea that you must make drastic changes in your life.

With the North Node in Capricorn from August 2009- 2011, it is also in your seventh house of relationships. This means that if you have cleared out old baggage it will be a great time for you to find your soul mate and to connect with some very important, life-changing relationships.

Jupiter is in Aquarius from 5th January 2009 for the next year. This brings opportunities and luck in your eighth house. This means that you are protected in anything connected with taxes, insurance, debts and joint finances. However, with Neptune making a conjunction with Jupiter during 2009, it is wise to be very careful about your financial advisers and banks and to make sure that you have protected yourself adequately. Sometimes Neptune can bring people who are not honest or sincere and may not be acting in your best interests. Make sure any verbal agreements are made in writing as well.

Saturn has been in Virgo since the fall of 2007 and stays there until the end of October 2009. This means it is currently in your third house of studying, learning, your community and short trips. You may find yourself studying, reading and working hard on a written project. On October 29th 2009, it moves into Libra and will be in your fourth house for the next two and a half years. This brings endings and new beginnings into the area of home and family. You will need to let go of the old and create space for the new to come in. Often this means a move to a new home or renovating and repairing the one you are in.

Career and money will be a most critical area for you. It is an excellent time to train for a new career, but make sure it is something you really want to do. As a Cancer you like to nurture something to success, so be sure about your direction.

However, this year you may accomplish much. You are hard working and productive, as well as original and innovative.

In relationships you will have bags of charm and attractiveness and also Pluto in the seventh will give you chemistry with another person. You may meet someone from abroad and also have some wonderful experiences with friends.

With you health it is vital that you pay attention to your emotions and verbalise your feelings. There is a tendency for you to hold everything in and then it erupts later on in an unpleasant way. If you can force yourself to speak up while it is happening, you will save yourself a lot of heartache down the line. Some of you are feeling more vigorous and youthful than you have felt in years, while others may be suffering great stress. In the former case, your physical and mental well-being come from being active and productive. You are attracting new people and new conditions in your life, and this gives you a greater sense of confidence. You have a “glow” about you that is very attractive.

The other Cancers are lacking these same qualities. Instead of discipline and being productive you seem to spend way too much time brooding about your present and future conditions. The pressure of work or an unfulfilling relationship is taking a toll on your health, both mentally and physically. The sooner you let it go, the more quickly you can start over again, and that process will bring you relief.
