The spontaneous or the accidental may seem to work against us, but in reality what we don’t expect serves to heal, empower, or spur wise choices. Incorporating those surprises will lend our efforts authority, and offer inspiration that shows us how to get around obstacles as well as how to allow the creative to flow.

For those born with the Sun at 11 Cancer. Check your natal chart for the correct Sun degree (you may want to read both the degree number and the one that follows, if you have minutes on your Sun position–together these offer a more complete picture of your year ahead). You may spend the coming Solar year, dear Cancer, feeling your way forward, testing the waters for the smart move, the practical alternative, and the skills you need to acquire. It’s a year of building yourself, and that where you attention and efforts should rightly be. This could be rough on relationships, but will act to help you shed those who aren’t right for you, and who won’t fit into the new and improved life you’ll have by your next birthday. Use feelings and intuition as a supplementary guide, and enjoy this time when you can and should focus on You. Good luck!
