2008: Cancer Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
2008 Overview. Relationships are moving to a completely new level for you in 2008, dear Cancer. This could be a banner year for connecting with a significant other. Some of you will form a partnership that either leads to marriage or is otherwise significant. Plenty of social activities, particularly with a partner, figure this year. A strong mental connection with a partner is likely, and singles might meet a partner through health and learning avenues. A tendency to over-think, or to focus on serious or even negative issues, should be watched. The skills you are working so hard on this year will be valuable for years to come. Financial changes, in outlook and strategy, continue to figure this year, but the difference in 2008 is that financial pressures ease and money-making endeavors improve dramatically. Work could involve more counseling or collaborating with a partner. Opportunities for fun and romance are particularly strong from mid-June to mid-July and in October.
2008 Details. Jupiter is moving through your solar seventh house all year, and you are likely to benefit through marriage, common-law partnerships, business partnerships, and negotiations. This is a year when you are more likely to establish or solidify a significant partnership. You can negotiate more successfully than ever, and, if applicable, win in legal matters. Financial benefits could possibly come through partnerships. Legal matters or challenging relationship problems from the past can be resolved, and more casual disputes can be settled. You may find yourself taking on the role of consultant or advisor, or you could benefit through help from same. Good publicity may come your way. If your work takes you before the public, you can safely expect popularity. Relationships and partnerships benefit from expansive, warm energy, or successful new ones are entered into this year. These positive circumstances won’t necessarily fall into your lap, and are unlikely to come all at once. You need to keep your eyes open for opportunities in these areas of life.
The most favorable periods for these matters occur while Jupiter is in direct motion in your solar seventh, from January through the first week of May, and then from the second week of September through December. The very best times occur when direct Jupiter trines Saturn in January, September and November. Solid communication with a partner figures.
Saturn continues to move through your third house all year. You are more productive, with a responsible and sometimes even somber outlook. Although you have a desire to make contacts, you are now rather preoccupied with learning or producing, and you may view idle chit-chat as a waste of time. You could feel an unusual pressure to structure your time and effort, and to cut out communication that seems unnecessary. Bouncing ideas off a special person in your life will produce great benefits. You are more able to accomplish something solid this year. By the end of the transit, you will have ideally gained a greater depth of understanding, having focused on information and communication that you really can use to feel more effective in the world.
For Cancers born June 22-23 and those with a Cancer Ascendant of 0-1 degree, intensity is part of the picture this year. Changes in the way you relate to others are afoot. Power struggles are possible in close personal relationships. Your relationships tend to have distinct themes revolving around personal power, domination, jealousy, manipulation, or self-will. Your biggest enemy in 2008 is resentment, which can act to eat away your confidence and healthy state of mind. For the rest of you, these issues will arise in the coming years. Major changes in the structure of your close personal relationships, and in your attitude towards them, are in store. Some of you might already feel these matters rumbling or brewing under the surface.
The influences of Uranus and Neptune are not new to you (they have been part of your life for several years). If you do get a chance to travel, which could come up quite unexpectedly, unusual, eye-opening experiences may be in store for you. The people that you meet this year tend to stir you into new ways of thinking. You are less inclined towards a personal philosophy that is traditional now. You may encounter some challenges regarding shared finances or property. A loan or other form of support may come through unexpectedly, even in a mysterious fashion. Intimate relationships can be highly colorful, perhaps with spiritual undercurrents, but also a little confusing. The boundaries that are normally drawn between what is yours and what is mine may be blurred somewhat this year. A partner could have unsettled finances, and this could impact your own finances. Do be wary of anything that even slightly resembles fraud. Lending others money may be a lesson in frustration this year.
A positive connection between your seventh and third houses this year suggests that the lines of communication open up between you and a special someone. Sharing daily events and goings-on with one another gives you much pleasure. This can also suggest a real learning experience with someone with whom you can bounce ideas off and come to a better understanding of how you define yourself. This is especially possible with the harmonious connection between your seventh and ninth houses active as well. Learning about the world around you through the eyes of a special person–or through other one-to-one relationships, such as clients–is a pleasing theme in 2008. Meeting a partner through travel or educational activities is also possible. Partnering with a co-worker, or working with a partner, could also figure strongly this year. Dealing with others’ money or promoting others’ talents/resources could figure in the work you do in 2008.
Eclipses this year mainly fall in your second and eighth houses. You are called upon to strike a balance between your own needs for security and comfort and the same needs of other people, likely those of a significant other. How well have you taken care of your finances? More importantly, have you taken charge of your personal sense of security? Issues of sexuality and spirituality, shared resources, and possessions are featured. Take charge of your life by taking the necessary steps to make yourself feel secure–on financial solid ground. You are called upon to make a stand and to tend to your comfort levels. If you do so, the positive effects will ricochet back into your intimate life. If you continue to tend to your partner’s comfort levels while ignoring your own, feelings of resentment and neglect can infect your relationships. Get in touch with what feels most comfortable for you, and the intimacy level in your relationship will step up a notch.
Some key periods in 2008 for you: From March 4-30, you have tremendous energy at your disposal. Life picks up pace considerably, and you feel like you can move mountains…and you probably can! This is the time to go after what you want. The best times for magnetizing what (and who) you want into your life are June 18-25 and September 24-October 2. Romance heats up from October 4-18. Your strongest financial period in 2008 occurs from July 13-August 1. Energy for making money is strongest May 9-28.

However, for those Cancers born July 7-12 and those with a Cancer Ascendant at 15-20 degrees, Uranus trines your Sun (or Ascendant) this year. Pleasant surprises pepper your year ahead. You’re open to a certain amount of change and progress in 2008, and thus attract interesting and sometimes unusual events into your life. A few doors open to you as you express yourself more spontaneously this year. Connections with a broader set of people and experiences can be the catalysts for your changing, more open-minded personal philosophy. Your interest in learning, exploring, and branching out is renewed and fresh. Listening to your gut will serve you well, as long as you’re not listening to that part of you that fears change. Fortunately, it’s easier to make necessary changes in your life without making too many waves now. You are drawn to new experiences and ideas, and they contribute to your growth. You have a twinkle in your eye this year! Your own originality and uniqueness is bound to come shining through. You are slightly more outspoken, daring, and progressive than usual now. Events that occur this year tend to show you a different side of yourself, and could attract new people into your life. Any new friends or connections made this year are likely to be quite different than those you have had in the past. If you want to rid yourself of some unhealthy habits or past conditioning that has been undermining your confidence, this is the year to do it. Some of the people around you might be surprised at your newly found independence, but most will enjoy it. New intellectual interests are likely this year. Unexpected or unusual experiences tend to enhance your understanding, and a new perspective on your life is in store. An unexpected opportunity for travel may present itself, or new opportunities to further your education could arise. Work with technology may expand your horizons.

2008 Details. Jupiter is moving through your solar seventh house from March forward, and you are likely to benefit through marriage, common-law partnerships, business partnerships, and negotiations. This is a year when you are more likely to establish or solidify a significant partnership. You can negotiate more successfully than ever, and, if applicable, win in legal matters. Financial benefits could possibly come through partnerships. Legal matters or challenging relationship problems from the past can be resolved, and more casual disputes can be settled.

These positive circumstances won’t necessarily fall into your lap, and are unlikely to come all at once. You need to keep your eyes open for opportunities in these areas of life.
The most favorable periods for these matters occur while Jupiter is in direct motion in your solar seventh, from the last week of March through the first week of May, and then from the second week of September through December. The very best times occur when direct Jupiter trines Saturn in September and November. Solid communication with a partner figures.
Saturn continues to transit your solar second house until November, urging you to take stock of your effectiveness, self-worth, and finances. This stage of your life may be marked by hard work. So, while you are exploring your creative side on the one hand, you are also taking care of your practical affairs. Financial success may not be remarkable, yet it is generally steady, if slow to come by. This transit has traditionally been associated with financial loss, but in truth, it is more about our perceptionsyou are apt to review how effective you have been on a financial level to date, and find some dissatisfaction with your progress. In fact, gains may be slow, but sudden reversals are not common with this transit. The purpose of this transit is for you to make the connection between your own feelings of self-worth and what you produce in the real world/get back from the real world. In recent years, you may have had some feelings of being unsupported (you may have been thinking, “I work so hard, and what do I get for all this hard work?”), but as the transit moves forward this year, you learn to look inside of yourself with a newfound clarity and realism and ideally draw up considerable strength from within. You work on your effectiveness in the world, and see exactly what has been holding you back from achieving the results you want. The challenge here is to capture the newly found and defined self-confidence you gained while Saturn was in Cancer, and now apply it in the real world.
New opportunities to explore your sexual nature, as well as how you handle power issues in personal relationships, are likely this year. Financial matters concerning a spouse or partner, or even an ex-spouse, could be uncertain or unsettled this year. The best way to deal with this is to avoid lending large sums of money and to exercise caution with anything that even slightly resembles fraud to you. Check up on shared resources and make sure everything is solid.
There may also be times when you feel at the mercy of your unconscious desires and impulses. Some of you may be experimenting sexually. Artistic expression this year may be fueled by some form of angst or other deep emotions from the past.
Saturn moves through your third house from November and into 2009. You are more productive, with a responsible and sometimes even somber outlook. Although you have a desire to make contacts, you are now rather preoccupied with learning or producing, and you may view idle chit-chat as a waste of time. You could feel an unusual pressure to structure your time and effort, and to cut out communication that seems unnecessary. Bouncing ideas off a special person in your life will produce great benefits. You are more able to accomplish something solid this year. By the end of the transit, you will have ideally gained a greater depth of understanding, having focused on information and communication that you really can use to feel more effective in the world.
For those of you born July 13-15 and those with a Cancer Ascendant of 20-22 degrees, if you do get a chance to travel, which could come up quite unexpectedly, unusual, eye-opening experiences may be in store for you. The people that you meet this year tend to stir you into new ways of thinking. You are less inclined towards a personal philosophy that is traditional now. For those born July 13-17 and those with a Cancer Ascendant of 20-24 degrees, you may encounter some challenges regarding shared finances or property. A loan or other form of support may come through unexpectedly, even in a mysterious fashion.
