For real: today the more we honor our unique individuality, act on our Soul’s mission, respect ourselves and our inner wisdom, concentrate on using our creative energies in positive and productive ways that truly represent who we are, and avoid power struggles or arguments with those in charge (or those who just think they’re in charge!) the more this day can show us what inventive, clever, imaginative people we are. It’s a day for aiming for the ideal in all we do, a day to accept the gifts of spontaneity and to appreciate the ingenuity of the human Soul, and if you approach all you do in this manner, you’re sure to reach day’s end much more fulfilled than you started it (and more pleased with yourself–go ahead, you deserve to be) .

For those born with the Sun at 18 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). Dear Cancer, where you’re headed, in the largest sense, occupies your thoughts this year, and for good reason: you are shaping the future with big, bold strokes, and will be bringing about the kind of change you’ll look back on later as turning points, as life-defining. Positives involve your ability to take what you’ve learned in the past and use it well; negatives include a disconnect between thought and action. Reconcile these last two, and you could have your best year yet. Good luck!
