You will get through this. You have every reason to be riled up. The Moon is currently in your second house of finance and self-worth, and here is where you are most affected. So let go, let it rip. What else can you do? It may feel like the most dramatic, unbearable point of your existence so far. And, like all of life, this too shall pass.
Saturday, February 24, under the full Moon in your expressive house, you are finally able to give voice to this. You deserve more. You know you do. And what makes it all worth it anyway?
Cancer is more fiercely attached to their origins than any other sign. And your origins are being sorely tested. All that you have believed in is being challenged. Even if you travel or move a million miles away. Even if you rebel against everything your history is, or was, and do everything opposite, your choices still come from the mother, the motherland, the mother tongue, the mother ship. It is the strongest bond there is. It is unbreakable. Many of you will want to move “home”.
You will go through the worst there is, and you will come through it. You will survive.
Remember the motif of the crab at the bottom of the ocean. Even in death, the crab will still be clutching what it desires in its claws. You have to break the claws to release that which it holds. Cancer holds on and holds on and holds on. Enduring everything. From mother and family, to habits, to relationships gone bad. Loyalty is not even the word for it. For habits become addictions, and whether they are healthy or unhealthy addictions is entirely up to the individual mind and choices of the crab. So this month, dear Cancer, you need to make some very important choices. Utilizing wisdom and age and maturity that Saturn – Father Time – offers you from past mistakes.
Now the awesome news is that, at the same time, your career is going to skyrocket. Your tenth house of your main profession and your public reputation is being blessed with an insane amount of planetary energy. (And yes, you have worked hard for it, you deserve it; it is hardly the lottery or manna falling from the sky.)
I see these two areas combining – wonderfully – so that your most important choice will most likely be made around your work and career. Recognition of your talent is too great at this time, and the professional opportunities too amazing to turn your back on them.
At the same time – ah, the complexities of being a deep, sensitive Cancer! – you will feel like retreating – into your shell, of course – and you will feel a strong resistance to giving up anything you have (clutched in your claws) right now. Whether that is a place, a relationship, a domestic set up or routine.
But you will have to decide.
Just look at this spectacular line up right now in your ninth house of education and new worlds, traditionally ruled by adventurous Sagittarius. In here you have:
Life-giving sun
Communications Mercury
New Pisces Moon Sunday, March 10
Lovey Venus
Dreamy Neptune
Wise Saturn
These are intense energies propelling you forward in these areas:
All that is far away and international countries
Travel
Education
Other languages and cultures
Your beliefs and philosophy
Religion
Mind expansion
Broadening your horizons
College, School, Classes
Publishing, Academia
Legal matters
And – sometimes – falling in love with someone from an entirely different culture, even country (even planet!)
Looks like, as much as you don’t want to, you’re going to make a move or a big change, right?
My best advice, dear one? Take a step back. Stay out of the fray. Refuse to fight. Think long term. Think of what is best for you. Retreat and pause before you speak. Be prepared to give up something, or someone, to gain something or someone better.
It may feel like the hardest decision you’ve ever had to make. And you know what? It will be the best decision you’ve ever had to make, too. Trust yourself. Believe in yourself.
And ask for professional advice. Don’t be afraid to start on a new tack, or go forward with a new project. You’ll get lots of help for it early March. Relationships sure may be difficult. But I bet my bottom dollar, somehow, somewhere, this brings you back to your true and first love — your mother. In some form. Whether she is alive or dead.
Cancer, you have got to take a leap of faith. Just do it!
Remember: crabs have survived, evolving all the time, for five hundred million years. Your species is the most successful species, the most successful evolution on the planet.
Put another way, the reason you’ve survived for so long is because, like the crab, way down there on the ocean floor, you are always looking up for predators, Chicken Little style. You watch your back.
And your front. And your pincers. And your head.
Thus, I would never advise you to cease from looking, but you can take a step now. Especially sideways, as a good and wary crab does. Crabs never move forward. Have you ever wondered why that is? They only move sideways. So: this March, take a leap of faith SIDEWAYS.
Approach in an indirect and unobtrusive manner, but approach. Hold your breath. Right now. Breathe in. Breathe in deep. Hold it.
Now let it go.
What do you really want?
The first thing that comes to you. This is what you need to approach this month.
Prepare to join forces with another, or others, monetarily. A new company. A new community. A new family.
The ninth house, like its ruler Sagittarius, is a very generous house. It only knows how to give. It gives you education, travel, foreign climes, law, philosophy, belief systems. Whether you have fallen in love with an international (man or woman of mystery), or applied to a program or job far away, or are stymied with some sort of legal tangle, your resolution comes this month.
2024 is a life-changing year.
Take that leap. Good and sideways.
And then watch history unfold.
