Cancer February 2023

Issues with others’ money or joint resources go well now. A partner / company with whom you have financial arrangements comes through for you, and you can expect more money to come in! Yay! You have been working SO hard, poor love, and may finally breathe a little. And with Jupiter recently moved into Aries, your tenth career and reputation house, and recently direct, your work seeds begin to bear more fruit. A promotion or pay raise is in the works for you.

A medical event is also possible at this time. Don’t worry about the outcome. You’ve survived practically everything, and so you will survive this also.

As this is happening, deep inside yourself you are torn, wanting to go, yet knowing how good your future is if you keep applying yourself right where you are. This conflict is really about TRUST. You are wrestling with how to trust your partner, how to trust the one you love. And, as always, how to give up control.

You who have recently undergone epiphanies and realizations about a new life ahead of you will feel particular urgency about this issue. Things are changing in your life, but it doesn’t have to be scary change.

It can be fun change! Exciting change! Fulfilling change. Loving change. Lovely.

Trust your intuition – you have a very strong one – but don’t be overly suspicious. The part of your chart traditionally ruled by secretive Scorpio, your eighth house, is activated beyond belief this February, and you will be getting psychic hits left, right, and center. You will also receive incredible benefits for those things you do in both work and in love that are not so obvious. That are more behind the scenes, more authentically generous.

And you draw up some of your most financially advantageous contracts and agreements of your life!

What else is going on in this powerful merger house?

You have in here:

The energy and intention of the awesome Sun

The current Aquarius Moon

The beauty and charm of Venus

The brilliant communication and thought of Mercury after February 11

Stick-to-it Saturn of enduring legacy

And what does your eighth house rule?

Shared resources and money arrangements

Taxes. This includes taxes and inheritance with your family.

Genetic gifts

Merging with another – companies and

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Clearing out outdated clothes, remnants of a past self

Death and Rebirth

Regenerating

Recovering your unconscious

Summoning your psychic powers

Last but not least, possessions given to you by partners, and vice versa.

Above all, you have the chance to set yourself up for life. To lay down the foundations of success that can support you in your old age and give you a kind of security that has eluded you up until now. To ensure your future security. It is SO positive, dear Crab.

But, oh Crabby, as I write this, I see you wringing your hands. What pressure are you bearing under?

In your eighth house of monies with others – this includes a joint account with your spouse or business partner, family money, pay owed to you, or even money you collect/pay on your home – you have a wealth of planetary power, so no fear. (But I see how you are worried.) With whatever annoying obstacles you’ve had to deal with lately – and they’ve held you up, no doubt – it really all comes down to not wanting to spend more money.

Whatever is holding you up now can be resolved by money. I’m sorry to put it so bluntly, dear Crab, but it’s true. As you can see, my dear, it’s time for a makeover on many levels!

And, finally, there’s love – which brings me to the main theme of February which is intimacy. There will be passion awakened in you for your career and for your money-making, but there will also be passion in love and in your relationships. Passion, as you know, can go either way. You will see a reflection of this in other people, as they are temperamental this month. Whatever happens, do not take it personally. Hard to do, I know, as you are always involved in the well being of your loved ones, and you are very sensitive to boot.

So it is important to keep your head when others are losing theirs. And as long as you let yourself chill with your relationships – that is, not fuss and fret like the mother goose that you are (and that you’re loved for) – you will be more relaxed, and then so will everyone else.

The next bit of hot news concerns your ninth house. House of travel and publishing, education and your beliefs.

Not only are things going to heat up in these areas — this is just the beginning — but things are going to happen spontaneously AND there’s much healing to come from actively participating in any of these areas. If you are traveling, you will be healed. If you are taking an exam, you will do well. If you are selling your book, you will be made happy. The new Moon in this house on February 19 brings an especially happy time.

Money will be good to you this month. In terms of home, however, whether it’s adding to your present home, or getting another one, go frugal. You’ve put out quite a bit recently. Property and family matters need some standing-still time now.

Wait. You know how to wait….and speaking of waiting…many of you crabs have been dancing around relationships or one relationship in particular lately. You need love and affection in your life, of course you do. And physical touch and sexuality. Many of you are ready for the long, dry spell to be over.

And with Chiron transiting Aries, you’re feeling it! Chiron, of course, is the centaur who had the wound that could never heal. It’s a much longer story than that, involving Hercules and all sorts of metaphor and allegory, but I’m just giving you the immediate now, dear Crab, because old wounds are ready to be healed. You do this by remembering the lessons you’ve learned and taking responsibility for all the ways YOU made it hard to come to the place you are now.

Don’t worry. The worst is over. You can relax in yourself. It’s been tough though, emotionally. But, dear Crab, with major planets moving in your eighth house of sex, lovers are coming forward now. In fact, they are just starting to pop up everywhere.

This is why this month will be a turning point in your life, dear Crab. If you ALLOW it to be. Which leads me right into talking about the asteroid Ceres, currently trying to do its loving thing in your fourth house of home and early family. Your major concerns, as always.

Ceres is all about nurturing – the nurturing you got when you were young, and the nurturing you give yourself now as an adult. Some of you didn’t receive very good training in terms of self-care, and this month we look at how to make it better.

Even when you do well, or have done well, it is hard for you to LET yourself do well. Or to believe it. If you lacked nurturing in a certain area, it’s harder to enjoy it yourself later, when grownup. It’s only challenging to learn new nurturing habits and behaviors – but it’s not impossible. It’s like anything else – you just need to do it DIFFERENTLY.

After this: No more the bitter waste of time you’ve been feeling in these areas. You move on, happily, successfully – and much, much stronger.

As writer Anais Nin, born under your sister water sign of Pisces February 21, 1903, wrote:

And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.

Ready to reconnect with your courage and be whole-heartedly you?

The snow is gone from cottage tops
The thatch moss glows in brighter green
And eves in quick succession drops Where grinning ides once hath been.
– February, John Clare

February is the dreariest month – except for Valentine’s Day, bang in the middle to bring us joy. And not only for sweethearts! For those of us who are alone, and more of us are, and by choice, than at any other time in human history, Valentine’s Day is about expressing your love. For your friends, for your fur babies, for your family, for – whomever, or whatever brings you love: express all of it! I believe we all have love in our hearts, and this is why I read you.

My job as astrologer / healer / palmist / psychic is to encourage and activate self-love, too. Very important: love YOURSELF on Valentine’s Day! Buy yourself flowers, take yourself to that movie / exhibit you’ve been dying to see, indulge in a luxurious bubble bath, treat yourself to a luscious dinner. Eat the ice cream. Why not? Love is love. It is good. It is the best.

The New York Times dubbed me “Love Guru” in a half page article they did on me in 1999. It was published on Valentine’s Day. Here it is if you’d like to read it.  https://madalynaslan.com/press/articles/the-new-york-times-article/

I still do this for clients, of course – everyone wants to know who their special person really is – but, as many of you already know, I cover everything else as well! (Viola, my lovely Virgo assistant, is waiting for your email…viola@madalynaslan.com.)

Giving you a heads up for next month. After 15 years, membership fees are finally increasing. The 2007 economy was a very different economy than 2023, as we are all experiencing. For the monthly, it’s notional – an increase of $1. This will take effect in March. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised. Of course, you may opt out or cancel at any time.

YOUR DESTINY DAYS  Cancer Sun, Cancer Rising, and Cancer Jupiter, your destined times are:

(EST) Wednesday, February 1 after 3:11pm; all of Thursday, February 2; all of Friday, February 3; until 3:48am on Saturday, February 4; and Tuesday, February 28 after 9:40pm.
