Happy Birthday, dear Cancer! This coming Solar year you need to aim directly to fulfill goals, dreams, and desires–and it won’t necessarily be easy. The needs of others, particularly the mate, as well as your own tender nature, may cause you to turn your energy and resources toward alleviating their problems, and though this may be kind, it won’t necessarily be the best thing for either of you. Cooperation is called for, but not at the expense of moving you forward in important ways. Be practical, do what’s wise rather than what’s easy, and talk things through before giving or giving in–if you don’t, resentment may be the result, and you could reach your next birthday feeling you’ve been spinning your wheels. Watch the matters of the House(s) with Gemini on the cusp: these have the potential to be both costly and rewarding, depending on how you approach things; though you need to stay rock solid with home, family, and values, don’t let what you contribute in those areas preclude your own original and unique expression, with the best arenas for Self-expression found in the House with Aquarius on the cusp or the House through which Uranus is now transiting. Good luck!
