Do relationships provide surprise hurt, or a difficult healing, today? Words may be aggressive, but they’re carrying the energy of the retro Merc, a need to do, to act, that we can’t wrap our heads around, can’t sufficiently organize, and the demands of the social order only add to the tension, resulting in, what else? Frustration. One thing we can be sure of: what the social sphere wants is contrary to our well-being. Something else we can count on: the spontaneous, the revelation, the shock, all ultimately deliver a reward. So, we get to the end of the day with some very positive results, even if the getting there was a little rocky.

For those born with the Sun at 16 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). This solar year, dear Cancer, through to your next birthday, you may face and deal with real-world circumstances and the ways these restrict, confine, or suppress you, and you may also utilize an enhanced ability to bring what you imagine or visualize into material form. It’s a bit of a double-edged sword and may take some getting used to, but eventually you’ll catch the rhythm and find that the more you work to knock down barriers and bring the real world, especially the environment, into alignment with your Soul’s deepest intentions, needs, and reasons for Being, the better your results. Good luck!
