Cancer August 2018

A few bumps occur when you first step outside into the sunlight… some panic even. But you can let go of your fears. Underneath are amazing opportunities and a new exciting world for you to enter. The full Moon lunar eclipse on Friday, July 27 – the longest eclipse of the century – with Mars closer to the Earth than it’s been in fifteen years, makes this a time to love. I predict a joining of resources may split, or be divided. A bittersweet parting. You’re already glimpsing a different life for yourself. Godspeed!

Oh, dear Crab, you are coming out of your old shell this August!

After being promised and promised it would get better, well the time has finally come.

Take it slowly though. Your eyes will have to adjust to the brightness after so much time inside.

Emotional hardship will do that to you. Make you feel as if you’re living by yourself, in the shadows. Pressing down on your very identity, asking you to define yourself more strongly.

Well, now you can. And talk about strong…there’s no one more enduring than you, dear one.

The crab is the oldest living species on earth: 500 million years old. And if that’s not endurance, I don’t know what is.

With your back against the wall, you’ve had to define who you are, and what you believe in, and what you want, what you will and will not tolerate, perhaps more so recently than any other time.

Now you know. And if in doubt, TRUST that you do.

You do. Even if you just had to retreat from a recent excursion, scurrying as a crab does back to your safe comfy home. Think of connecting with intimates. With someone you care about, rather than a room full of witty repartee.

The full Moon and lunar eclipse – which holds sway over you like no other sign in the zodiac – is coming up on Friday, July 27.

Moonlight is very powerful for you. It shines into your eighth house of sex and merging. Deep connections with others. You find yourself wanting to be close to someone again.

The only real work for you to do now is emotional. To HEAL your eighth house – once and forever. The eighth house is your connections with others.

This is what you gotta do to help it along. It’s all in the area of your eighth house.

The eighth house rules:

Intimacy

Shared resources and joined monies

Merging with your soul mate – sex, sex, sex!

Sharing your deepest truths

Letting go of the past

Shedding an old persona

Clearing out outdated clothes, remnants of a past self

Healing

Regenerating

Recovering your unconscious

Summoning your psychic powers

Take extra time for your lover or partner. Give more of yourself.

In some extreme cases, the eclipse could cause an ending around this time. Decide if this is what you really want to do. Your actions now are life-defining.

If you decide to do this, you will find yourself going forward in your work or business, all shiny and new.

With this ending, you need to come clean with someone you don’t feel right about. Someone honestly doesn’t know what’s going on and needs to hear it from you. No confrontation, just communication. Before August 11 be careful with your temper, cool the conflicts, and act neighborly. You could seriously blow it, so thus the warning. Do not panic! It will only backfire and ruin your efforts.

Keeping your professional reputation is driving you nuts at the moment. If you could just…if everyone could just…RELAX more.

You know why everyone’s so on EDGE? I have never seen so many retrogrades in my life. EIGHT. That’s an insane number.

Generally it is two or three, or even four. Mercury, Mars, Saturn, Neptune, Pluto, Uranus, Chiron, Vesta. All in retrograde. This is why everyone is so emotional.

Retrograde is all about going backwards, right? Going over stuff from the past. Over and over. Re-examining. Every step, every action. Rewind the video of your life. Over and over. What really happened. Rewind as many times as you need. You must catch every detail. Can’t miss, nor skip, a beat.

Write it down and record it, if it helps. You are here to make the record straight.

What you’ve done. What you can do better. How you can make your life better.

Wise old Saturn, your toughest lesson, is retrograde in your seventh marriage house. Whatever you do, you’re going to make it right this time.

You deserve so much happiness, sweet Crab, and August is all about giving it to you. Mid-August is intense for you and partners and new arrangements. Much of which is financial. Which is very hot in your life right now. For in your second house of money and self-worth you have: life-giving Sun, sharp-thinking Mercury (in retrograde July 26 – August 19), wise Pallas, and a solar eclipse new Moon on Saturday, August 11.

All of this support for your finances as well as your self-worth, and for how you value yourself. How much you ask for yourself. How much you ask to be paid. What is owed to you. Your possessions and belongings. All important now. You can ask for the world. And you will get it!

Go for it, Cancer. You deserve it. You have worked so incredibly hard this past year – on every single level – and you deserve reward, but you also deserve some breaks and a time of peace, with no more conflict, no more endless worry. And, again my friend, you will get it.

Now, back to money, because money is particularly important this month.

All that your second house rules:

Finances

Your personal resources

What you own

Security

Self-worth

Future planning

The value of everything

Self-value

Luxurious surroundings

Determining

Manifesting

Short trips are the answer. And your words. Your words are magic. So don’t let someone’s freak-out concern you. Let them be. You concentrate on your own self-expression. Don’t worry about anything else. Your excellent work rewards will be triple whammy.

It is an exciting and promising time this August. Home and plans will change. So be prepared. You can draw anyone to your side, help will come from friends and friends of friends and a new financial agreement you enter into will be very positive.

You may feel most comfortable with old loved ones, rather than new interested ones, but do give the new ones a chance.

Have compassion towards those who are drawn to you. New spirits in all forms will be attracted to you.

If attached, you may want to apologize to your partner, or simply say what’s on your mind. It’s a pretty good bet that you will offend without realizing it.
