Astrology

As a Cancerian, you’re an intuitive water sign, although you may be amongst those who don’t acknowledge it. Whether that’s the case or not, you’re bound to see the exciting, powerful and positive changes coming your way. While you won’t necessarily pursue them all, at least explore them. You won’t regret it.

While there’ll be progress in many areas of your life, don’t be surprised if you’re unsure what’s next. That’s to be expected now, in the run up to the pivotal Cancer Full Moon on the 22nd. For now, focus on what needs a rethink or, perhaps, could go. This is both clearing the way, and preparing you for the new cycle that begins later this month.

The only real challenge you face during December is recognising the promise in uncomfortable or even unsettling situations. Each is leading to breakthroughs, although making the best of these could mean altering familiar, if not reassuring, habits. Once you begin making those changes, however, you’ll realise these and other, similar, ways of believing or doing things are holding you back. The turning point in the Cancer Full Moon on 22 December, which combines thrilling opportunities with sudden developments that take you into exciting new territory.

Once you understand this year’s two powerful themes, you’ll also realise 2018 isn’t about making, and sticking to, a single plan but, rather, ongoing growth and change. With powerful Saturn joining Pluto in accenting all forms of alliances, personal and professional, existing relationships will shift dramatically while new ones will lead to exciting, if not life-changing, ideas or offers. The second theme, breaking away from familiar habits or pursuits, may be challenging initially but leads you into new territory. During most of the year, focus on learning more about what’s on offer and who’s involved. Decisions can, and should, wait until your options are clearer, as they will be late this year and during the coming two.

Love and Close Relationships
The trick to dealing with the often unsettling but ultimately exciting events during 2018, and especially their impact on those closest, is to focus on keeping things light. If discussion is necessary, tackle issues. Then, once they’re dealt with, make a point of having a good time.

Finance and Business
As a Cancerian and water sign, you’re intuitive, as much about business and finances as people. Pay attention to those feelings during this often complicated and confusing year, and you’ll find your way through changes with a canny wisdom, one that will have others seeking your advice.

Health and Wellbeing
It makes no difference if it’s you are others, you long ago learnt there are many ways you can turn a glum mood into a good one. But all of them involve getting out and about, even if it’s a walk that ends with an uplifting event, from a meal to a movie. The formula doesn’t matter as much as the inspiration, one that’s great for you but even better shared with others.
