Cancer (Born June 22 to July 1) – 0 to 10 degrees Cancer: 

2014: Cancer Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

2014 Overview for all of Cancer.

Expansive Jupiter continues to move through your sign this year, dear Cancer, until mid-July. If you haven’t taken advantage of its gifts and blessings, it’s time to do so. This is a time for a very positive new personal beginning and awakening. It’s a period of increased confidence, and of others’ confidence in you as well. One of the best things you can do for yourself this year, besides putting yourself “out there”, is to work on taking charge of your home and family life, which may be demanding in the first half of 2014. Perhaps because the world is demanding a lot of your attention now, home life can be a little mixed up or hurried and hectic. One of the ways to improve your personal life is to consciously work on relaxing your standards for achievement in your profession or in the outside world, just enough to establish a nice balance. By working on your inner foundation and your “base”, success will ricochet back to your public and professional lives. Confidence in your body, manner, and image increases now, and sometimes dramatically, allowing you more freedom to do what you want to do and to experience life on a “new and improved” level. Others truly enjoy being around you, and see you as the wonderful person that you are. It’s not about your accomplishments, achievements, or performance at the moment – it’s about who you are. The second half of 2014 brings new and quite wonderful energy to your finances, personal possessions, as well as your sense of comfort and security. There is stronger focus on the simple pleasures and comforts of life, although you might have your eye on something expensive or indulgent as well. It’s actually a good time to make larger, significant purchases, generally speaking, and within reason. You might suddenly find yourself in the position to acquire a long-wanted item or experience. Earnings might expand now, but it’s very important to be grateful at this time in your life. Look to expand, but don’t overreach. Excess can trip you up at a time when you have real, solid opportunities to improve your lot in life.

Depending on what you want at this time in your life, it can be a time of more business or more leisure – whichever helps to make you feel content and that leads to a feeling of abundance. Even so, there can be times when you feel that you have less time or opportunities for pursuing your hobbies, a romance, or playful time with children. You may have less obvious “luck” on a social level at times. Kids can be more demanding, or your tastes may be changing in such a way that you derive less pleasure from the things that you previously enjoyed. Love is a serious matter again this year. You can be attracting intense, complicated, or even controlling people into your experience. May can bring stabilizing and helpful energy to a love relationship, however. There may not be big changes in relationships in 2014, but always a sense that changes are in the works. Especially from September forward, there can be sudden or unusual opportunities that arise with business, work, or money. There can be bold career moves and surprising opportunities. Some of you could free yourselves of heavy obligations, burdens, or debts, allowing you to move forward with more confidence and a happy feeling of liberation. You might discover and develop a talent, and others might suddenly recognize your value, in the job world especially. There can be discoveries about health and wellness programs that improve your outlook on life. Keep your eyes and mind open!

2014 Details.

Until July 16th, Jupiter continues to move through your solar first house. This exciting transit occurs only every twelve years or so, and continues to bring improvements to your immediate environment and self-confidence as well as increased generosity to your personality. Your personality is more obviously expansive, exuberant, and enthusiastic. This transit heightens your optimism and generosity, and the entire cycle has the potential for being a relaxed, fortunate, and hopeful time in your life. You are greeting life with a fresh, can-do attitude. What happened in the past is not very important to you now – it’s the future you’re eyeing now.

Events occur that help you to overcome problems that previously seemed challenging or even insurmountable – you have an altogether different perspective on life now, and are not inclined much to sweat the small stuff. You create a distinct first impression on others, and your likeability increases. Furthering your personal ambitions and interests comes more easily during this cycle. At times, you may feel like the sky is the limit! Others tend to thoroughly enjoy your presence.

You might need to guard against becoming too full of yourself or overly self-interested, however. There is also a risk of overindulgence and other forms of excessive behavior. Jupiter can bring endings into your life in order for you to grow, although these are generally easy ones. A carefree attitude is different than a careless one, and the fine line between the two is definitely something to watch for. You feel considerably freer to be yourself, and others tend to accept you more readily. These positive circumstances won’t necessarily fall into your lap, and are unlikely to come all at once, although they are more likely due to Jupiter’s direct influence on your life. You need to keep your eyes open for opportunities in these areas of life, and always watch for overdoing things or carelessness.

This can also be a time when it’s easier to find employment or work that suits you well. It’s a strong time for self-improvement efforts, particularly because Jupiter rules your sector of health, work, and self-care. Expanding your horizons through higher learning or travel might also figure strongly. This is a time for aligning your behavior with what you believe is right. You are taking more “me” time, which is in fact long overdue.

There might also be times, especially in January-February and April, when a partner, parent, or authority figure feels threatened or is put off by your newfound displays of freedom and independence. A partner in particular could be trying to control you out of fear that they will lose you, for example.

The most favorable periods for these matters occur while Jupiter is in direct motion in your solar first house, from March 6th to July 16th.

Jupiter entering Leo on July 16th puts this planet of growth and expansion in your solar second house. From July 2014 to August 2015, you are likely to see and enjoy benefits to your earning power and value system. Jupiter in this part of your chart could very well bring a profitable and productive period. You are likely to feel more confident and enthusiastic about your ability to earn a living, and this can help you to attract more income, as long as you are realistic. You might decide to develop your talents during this Jupiter cycle, which in turn boosts your earning power. Your income might increase, and there may be an opportunity to improve your future financial situation.

However, you could be just as inclined to splurge on yourself, opting to plump up your nest or your store of personal possessions in order to feel more secure. Money problems from the past may clear up during this period if you use it appropriately, developing budgets and working out ways to better manage your resources. You may be adding to your possessions, you might receive a large item or gift, or a major purchase or sale might occur now. A significant gift or bonus may come your way. This is a good time to work with financial institutions, shoot for a raise, or apply for a loan. You may need to curb an inclination to overspend – feeling good could bring you to the stores as you temporarily forget about the future!

The positive circumstances listed here 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.

During this cycle, you bring a fresh, positive, and confident attitude towards your own self-worth and value, and to your practical affairs, including work and career. From late September forward especially, opportunities to attract improved conditions in your career and a boost in reputation can arise. Your attitude is a “can do” one now. New business ventures can be especially successful.

The most favorable periods for these matters occur while Jupiter is in direct motion in your solar second house, from July 16th to December 8th. (This transit lasts until August 2015).

Saturn transits your solar fifth house again this year. This transit that began in October 2012 ends in December, but only for a short time. It will resume and finish up from June 2015 to September 2015. Saturn’s influence is rather somber and serious, but also responsible and practical. You are getting serious about fifth house matters: romance, relationships with children, your creativity, and pleasure. Serious about pleasure? Yes, indeed. While you may not spend a whole lot of time living it up at parties, bars, or entertainment venues, you are likely to take your hobbies more seriously. In fact, this is an excellent period for monetizing any personal hobby – turning it into a business, even if it’s on the side.

If you have children, they may need more discipline or structure than they previously did. Some Cancers will be welcoming children into their lives and discovering all of the responsibilities that come with it. Others who already have children may find that they’re at an age that requires more attention and discipline, or structure.

In the romance department, Saturn’s influence can go either way. For some, romance may be felt to be lacking or a romantic relationship could be more practical than fun. Tests or pressures on an existing romance could figure now. For those of you who have recently entered a romance, you are beginning to look at it more seriously and critically. For others, a romantic relationship stabilizes and becomes more serious. Some of you will meet a new romantic interest who is perhaps older or mature, thus meeting Saturn through a partner. Because Saturn rules the area of your chart that rules committed partnerships as opposed to the casual romances ruled by the fifth house, some of you could find a lover is stuck in the romance phase of a relationship and may not be moving towards commitment as quickly as you’d like.

In 2014, you are likely over the more acute elements of this transit, although there will still be some “work” to do in 2015.

Pluto is continuing its transit of your solar seventh house this year, and you are likely to be facing the deeper, and possibly darker, elements of your own personality through your close interactions with another. There can be power struggles and the facing of fears before eventual healing.

As well, the influence of Pluto in your seventh house can point to taking a casual romantic affair to a new level. Major changes in the structure of your close personal relationships, and in your attitude towards them, are in store.

Uranus begins or continues its lengthy transit of your solar tenth house. Your career direction changes and your relationships with authority figures may be more challenging during this long-term cycle. Do your best to avoid impulsive decision-making that is built upon your desire to be a free spirit. You may recognize talents that you never knew you had, and this can be a sudden, exciting discovery.

While some of you were dealing with intense Pluto and Uranus challenging transits last year, both planets have moved beyond your Cancer group, freeing you up to feel more in charge of your life.

The influence of Neptune is similar to last year for those of you born June 29-July 1 and with a Cancer Ascendant of 7-1/2 to 10 degrees. Neptune continues to transit your solar eighth house, as it has been doing for a number of years. 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 possibly 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 during this cycle.

However, for those born June 22-28 (or 0 to 7-1/2 degrees Cancer Ascendant), Neptune begins or continues its transit of your solar ninth house and trines your Sun/Ascendant this year. Your overall perspective on life begins to significantly expand, and you are more willing to embrace unusual, mystical, or spiritual philosophies. Neptune’s influence can be quite magical this year. It stimulates your imagination and intuition. Your words are more poetic and perhaps even inspirational. Participation in the arts, music, entertainment, community service, spiritual practice, or religious pursuits can be enhanced this year. Do what you dream of doing, and trust your inner knowledge and intuition at the point before it gets distorted by logic. Refreshing interludes such as a vacation or other relaxing forms of entertainment are more possible now. Others see you in a sweet light – you are more charming than usual, and your artistic, creative, and compassionate side is apparent and most appreciated.

The North Node of the Moon is transiting your solar fifth house until mid-February 2014, and this suggests that some of the greatest joys – and challenges – come through your creativity, uniqueness, standing out, love affairs, and sharing your heart. You need to make a conscious effort to deal with others in a more personal, involved, and loving manner, rather than falling back on reason and intellect which detaches you from your feelings. Learning to take personal risks, which requires a certain amount of self-confidence, will help you to achieve inner balance and happiness.

The North Node of the Moon is transiting your solar fourth house from mid-February 2014 forward, and this suggests that some of the greatest joys – and challenges – come through your home and family. You need to let go of your tendency to over-manage your life and others’ lives, to relax your standards of perfection and achievement, and to avoid falling victim to living through the eyes of society instead of valuing our own personal (as opposed to professional/status) achievements. By working on your inner foundation and your “base”, success will ricochet back to your public and professional lives.

Eclipses in 2014 fall in your fifth and eleventh houses, and in your fourth and tenth houses. A romantic affair may undergo deep, rewarding changes. If love is true, there’s nothing to fear. The demands of your larger goals in life may have been eclipsing your pleasure-seeking activities. Also possible, your children may be going through their own changes and “stages”, and need more attention now.  As well, it’s time to take steps to improve your family and home life. You may need to review and change your career goals as well. Career matters come to a head. You may be challenged to perform and prove your competence in 2014. Keeping everything aboveboard is critical. Finding a balance between your attention to home and career is the challenge now.

Again this year, and especially in April and December, there may be some conflict between the demands of a partnership and the demands of career. Finding a balance between the two, instead of pushing or rebelling against either, is the challenge now. People tend to be pulling you in different directions.

May and June are strong for opportunities to expand your horizons and your reach. Others are likely to turn to you for advice. Teaching may play a big role in your life, and authors could find a broader audience. Trips could be especially rewarding for you – they can provide a pleasant breather from pressures in your life. You have a strong interest in broadening your mental experiences in general, and finding expression of your personality through them, perhaps through higher education or exploring different philosophies of life. You may be in the position to inspire others through what you create. Do your best to create something tangible out of your ideas. You are bound to reach a broader audience if you do, and the feedback will feed the flames of your own inspiration. It would be wise to make something of your hobbies. Even if it doesn’t translate to income, you might find that expressing yourself creatively really helps to define yourself and to understand yourself better. Your creative abilities are reflected in your outlook on life and love and romance are life experiences you strongly identify with. Children may be a stronger focus this year as well. You are more effective, in general, in attempts to express your creativity. Love, love affairs, and other social activities help to enhance a healthy self image. May is good for balancing optimism with realism.

From September forward,  you may have more resources to invest into your career or business, or some of you could be earning more income from your career. You may find that you are more able to earn a living from what you love doing, or from your own natural, latent talents. Your public image is quite important to you right now. Being in a position of responsibility or authority is something you place a high value on. This is a time of innovation, and of sudden positive twists of fate, especially regarding your income and career.

The most favorable periods for these matters occur while Jupiter is in direct motion in your solar first house, from March 6-August 31.

Jupiter transits conjunct your Sun/Ascendant until the end of May. This is a feel-good transit that offers you opportunities to rise above petty concerns. It’s an excellent time to start new long-term projects. You might find that you feel more vital, confident, and optimistic about the future at this time. It’s a good time to resolve conflicts. You may be released from previously confining situations that have been stunting your growth or progress. Events may give your ego a boost, and you could be feeling quite vital and alive. Take advantage of this by promoting yourself or putting yourself “out there”. Ego gratification is the theme of this transit. This is the start of a “new you” — a more confident and faithful person.

From August 31st forward, Jupiter, planet of growth and expansion is transiting your solar second house, and you are likely to see and enjoy benefits to your earning power and value system. Jupiter in this part of your chart could very well bring a profitable and productive period.

You are getting serious about fifth house matters: romance, relationships with children, your creativity, and pleasure. Serious about pleasure? Yes, indeed.

For those of you born July 3-6 and those with an Ascendant of 11 to 13-1/2 degrees Cancer, intensity is part of the picture this year with Pluto opposing your Sun or Ascendant. 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 during this period is resentment, which can act to eat away your confidence and healthy state of mind. There may be conflicts between partnership goals and family or domestic goals this year, and the challenge could serve to “initiate” you into this new phase of your life. As well, the influence of Pluto entering your seventh house can point to taking a casual romantic affair to a new level. Major changes in the structure of your close personal relationships, and in your attitude towards them, are in store. You are likely to be facing the deeper, and possibly darker, elements of your own personality through your close interactions with another. There can be power struggles and the facing of fears before eventual healing.

For those born July 9-12 and with a Cancer Ascendant of 17-20 degrees, Uranus continues to transit your solar ninth house. If you do get a chance to travel, which could come up quite unexpectedly, unusual and 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, and more attracted to more avant-garde or simply progressive belief systems.

For those of you born July 2-8 and those with an Ascendant of 10 to 16-1/2 degrees Cancer, Uranus is transiting square your Sun and Uranus begins or continues its lengthy transit of your solar tenth house. Your career direction changes and your relationships with authority figures may be more challenging during this long-term cycle. Do your best to avoid impulsive decision-making that is built upon your desire to be a free spirit. You may recognize talents that you never knew you had, and this can be a sudden, exciting discovery. This transit could stimulate you to make changes that have long been overdue. For example, you might free yourself from limiting or frustrating circumstances. Your life speeds up, and decision-making can be very hasty now. You definitely feel the need for action this year, but if you don’t know where you’re headed, you might take the wrong turn. Unexpected changes in plans or events can test your patience, and you could feel a bit out of control at times. However, events could stimulate you to try new approaches and they certainly act to cut boredom. Your creativity is stimulated this year, but so is your excitability and your need for freedom. You are likely to be more outspoken than usual, perhaps even rebellious.

The influence of Neptune is similar to last year. Neptune continues to transit your solar eighth house, as it has been doing for a number of years. 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 possibly 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 during this cycle.

For those of you born July 2-10 and with a Cancer Ascendant of 10-18 degrees, Chiron is transiting trine your Sun/Ascendant this year. This influence is a subtly healing one. Others look upon you with more respect, tolerance, and acceptance. You don’t feel the need to prove yourself, and that feels good. You have the chance to shine, largely because you are projecting yourself with self-respect and modesty at once. You are especially appealing and charming during this transit just by being yourself. Opportunities–both personal and professional–are likely to present themselves as a result. You are not looking for credit for what you do, which frees you up to get it anyhow! New friendships are likely to emerge this year–supportive and easygoing ones.

The North Node of the Moon is transiting your solar fifth house this year, and this suggests that some of the greatest joys – and challenges – come through your creativity, uniqueness, standing out, love affairs, and sharing your heart. You need to make a conscious effort to deal with others in a more personal, involved, and loving manner, rather than falling back on reason and intellect which detaches you from your feelings. Learning to take personal risks, which requires a certain amount of self-confidence, will help you to achieve inner balance and happiness.

Eclipses in 2014 fall mostly in your fourth and tenth houses, and it’s time to take steps to improve your family and home life. You may need to review and change your career goals as well. Career matters come to a head. You may be challenged to perform and prove your competence in 2014. Keeping everything aboveboard is critical. Finding a balance between your attention to home and career is the challenge now.

Again this year, and especially in April and December, there may be some conflict between the demands of a partnership and the demands of career.

2014: Cancer Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

2014 Overview for all Cancers.

Expansive Jupiter continues to move through your sign this year, dear Cancer, until mid-July. If you haven’t taken advantage of its gifts and blessings, it’s time to do so.

One of the ways to improve your personal life is to consciously work on relaxing your standards for achievement in your profession or in the outside world, just enough to establish a nice balance. By working on your inner foundation and your “base”, success will ricochet back to your public and professional lives. Confidence in your body, manner, and image increases now, and sometimes dramatically, allowing you more freedom to do what you want to do and to experience life on a “new and improved” level. Others truly enjoy being around you, and see you as the wonderful person that you are. It’s not about your accomplishments, achievements, or performance at the moment – it’s about who you are. The second half of 2014 brings new and quite wonderful energy to your finances, personal possessions, as well as your sense of comfort and security. There is stronger focus on the simple pleasures and comforts of life, although you might have your eye on something expensive or indulgent as well. It’s actually a good time to make larger, significant purchases, generally speaking, and within reason. You might suddenly find yourself in the position to acquire a long-wanted item or experience. Earnings might expand now, but it’s very important to be grateful at this time in your life. Look to expand, but don’t overreach. Excess can trip you up at a time when you have real, solid opportunities to improve your lot in life.

Depending on what you want at this time in your life, it can be a time of more business or more leisure – whichever helps to make you feel content and that leads to a feeling of abundance. Even so, there can be times when you feel that you have less time or opportunities for pursuing your hobbies, a romance, or playful time with children. You may have less obvious “luck” on a social level at times. Kids can be more demanding, or your tastes may be changing in such a way that you derive less pleasure from the things that you previously enjoyed. Love is a serious matter again this year. You can be attracting intense, complicated, or even controlling people into your experience. May can bring stabilizing and helpful energy to a love relationship, however. There may not be big changes in relationships in 2014, but always a sense that changes are in the works. Especially from September forward, there can be sudden or unusual opportunities that arise with business, work, or money. There can be bold career moves and surprising opportunities. Some of you could free yourselves of heavy obligations, burdens, or debts, allowing you to move forward with more confidence and a happy feeling of liberation. You might discover and develop a talent, and others might suddenly recognize your value, in the job world especially. There can be discoveries about health and wellness programs that improve your outlook on life. Keep your eyes and mind open!

2014 Details.

Until May 29th, Jupiter continues to transit your solar twelfth house. This transit brings benefits to activities that take place “behind the scenes” or otherwise privately, as well as in the soul. This is a cycle in which you become more compassionate, empathetic, and sensitive, or get in deeper touch with these traits. Jupiter in the twelfth house is said to offer one spiritual protection. This is a time when you can rid yourself of self-destructive tendencies, deep-seated fears, and deeply-ingrained tendencies towards guilty feelings. You are more able to get in touch with your subconscious mind, and in fact, confronting your fears can be quite pleasurable during this period. Charity, giving/donating anonymously, volunteering, and helping others without expectation of reward will be most fulfilling during this cycle. Helping others actually helps you. Work that involves serving others may begin now and bring you much joy.

Your dreaming world may be especially rich, lighter, helpful, and more intuitive. Meditation and retreats may be particularly helpful to you now, as they regenerate and invigorate your spirit. Much pleasure and growth might be found in solitude and contemplation. You may pick up New Age studies, spirituality, dream interpretation, or research during this cycle. Some people enter into a private romance during this cycle. In general, help seems to be there when you need it. You are building or rebuilding your inner faith now. 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. There may be some sacrifices required in your work, or you could be doing some work behind the scenes during this cycle.

The most favorable periods for these matters occur while Jupiter is in direct motion in your solar twelfth house, from March 6-May 29.

From May 29-October 28, Jupiter transits your solar first house. This exciting transit occurs only every twelve years or so, and continues to bring improvements to your immediate environment and self-confidence as well as increased generosity to your personality. Your personality is more obviously expansive, exuberant, and enthusiastic. This transit heightens your optimism and generosity, and the entire cycle has the potential for being a relaxed, fortunate, and hopeful time in your life. You are greeting life with a fresh, can-do attitude. What happened in the past is not very important to you now – it’s the future you’re eyeing now.

Events occur that help you to overcome problems that previously seemed challenging or even insurmountable – you have an altogether different perspective on life now, and are not inclined much to sweat the small stuff. You create a distinct first impression on others, and your likeability increases. Furthering your personal ambitions and interests comes more easily during this cycle. At times, you may feel like the sky is the limit! Others tend to thoroughly enjoy your presence.

You might need to guard against becoming too full of yourself or overly self-interested, however. There is also a risk of overindulgence and other forms of excessive behavior. Jupiter can bring endings into your life in order for you to grow, although these are generally easy ones. A carefree attitude is different than a careless one, and the fine line between the two is definitely something to watch for. You feel considerably freer to be yourself, and others tend to accept you more readily. These positive circumstances won’t necessarily fall into your lap, and are unlikely to come all at once, although they are more likely due to Jupiter’s direct influence on your life. You need to keep your eyes open for opportunities in these areas of life, and always watch for overdoing things or carelessness.

This can also be a time when it’s easier to find employment or work that suits you well. It’s a strong time for self-improvement efforts, particularly because Jupiter rules your sector of health, work, and self-care. Expanding your horizons through higher learning or travel might also figure strongly. This is a time for aligning your behavior with what you believe is right. You are taking more “me” time, which is in fact long overdue.

Jupiter transits conjunct your Sun/Ascendant from May 29-July 16. This is a feel-good transit that offers you opportunities to rise above petty concerns. It’s an excellent time to start new long-term projects. You might find that you feel more vital, confident, and optimistic about the future at this time. It’s a good time to resolve conflicts. You may be released from previously confining situations that have been stunting your growth or progress. Events may give your ego a boost, and you could be feeling quite vital and alive. Take advantage of this by promoting yourself or putting yourself “out there”. Ego gratification is the theme of this transit. This is the start of a “new you” — a more confident and faithful person.

From October 28th, Jupiter transits your solar second house, and you are likely to see and enjoy benefits to your earning power and value system. Jupiter in this part of your chart could very well bring a profitable and productive period. You are likely to feel more confident and enthusiastic about your ability to earn a living, and this can help you to attract more income, as long as you are realistic. You might decide to develop your talents during this Jupiter cycle, which in turn boosts your earning power. Your income might increase, and there may be an opportunity to improve your future financial situation.

However, you could be just as inclined to splurge on yourself, opting to plump up your nest or your store of personal possessions in order to feel more secure. Money problems from the past may clear up during this period if you use it appropriately, developing budgets and working out ways to better manage your resources. You may be adding to your possessions, you might receive a large item or gift, or a major purchase or sale might occur now. A significant gift or bonus may come your way. This is a good time to work with financial institutions, shoot for a raise, or apply for a loan. You may need to curb an inclination to overspend – feeling good could bring you to the stores as you temporarily forget about the future!

The positive circumstances listed here 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.

During this cycle, you bring a fresh, positive, and confident attitude towards your own self-worth and value, and to your practical affairs, including work and career. Opportunities to attract improved conditions in your career and a boost in reputation can arise. Your attitude is a “can do” one now. New business ventures can be especially successful.

The most favorable periods for these matters occur while Jupiter is in direct motion in your solar second house, from October 28-December 7.

Saturn transits your solar fifth house most of the year. Saturn’s influence is rather somber and serious, but also responsible and practical. You are getting serious about fifth house matters: romance, relationships with children, your creativity, and pleasure. Serious about pleasure? Yes, indeed. While you may not spend a whole lot of time living it up at parties, bars, or entertainment venues, you are likely to take your hobbies more seriously. In fact, this is an excellent period for monetizing any personal hobby – turning it into a business, even if it’s on the side.

If you have children, they may need more discipline or structure than they previously did. Some Cancers will be welcoming children into their lives and discovering all of the responsibilities that come with it. Others who already have children may find that they’re at an age that requires more attention and discipline, or structure.

In the romance department, Saturn’s influence can go either way. For some, romance may be felt to be lacking or a romantic relationship could be more practical than fun. Tests or pressures on an existing romance could figure now. For those of you who have recently entered a romance, you are beginning to look at it more seriously and critically. For others, a romantic relationship stabilizes and becomes more serious. Some of you will meet a new romantic interest who is perhaps older or mature, thus meeting Saturn through a partner. Because Saturn rules the area of your chart that rules committed partnerships as opposed to the casual romances ruled by the fifth house, some of you could find a lover is stuck in the romance phase of a relationship and may not be moving towards commitment as quickly as you’d like.

Saturn trines your Sun most of the year, and this helps you to better focus on your goals. This transit is a stabilizing one–others know they can rely on you, and you on them. Your vision is all the more realistic now, and pleasingly so. You work steadily and determinedly towards your goals. Authority figures and elders tend to look favorably upon you.

Uranus continues to transit your solar ninth house. If you do get a chance to travel, which could come up quite unexpectedly, unusual and 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, and more attracted to more avant-garde or simply progressive belief systems.

The influence of Neptune is similar to last year. Neptune continues to transit your solar eighth house, as it has been doing for a number of years. 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 possibly 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 during this cycle.

The North Node of the Moon is transiting your solar fourth house until August 26th, pointing you in the direction of home and family. You need to let go of your tendency to over-manage your life and others’ lives, to relax your standards of perfection and achievement, and to avoid falling victim to living through the eyes of society instead of valuing our own personal (as opposed to professional/status) achievements. By working on your inner foundation and your “base”, success will ricochet back to your public and professional lives. The North Node transits your solar third house from August 26th forward. During this period, the North Node points you in the direction of learning, communications, and connecting. You need to learn to listen to others so that you discover the value of true communication and exchange, and to see both sides of a situation. Learning to slow down, to be sensitive to social graces and networks, and to sensitize yourself to others’ needs and communications, will release you from nervous tension and help you achieve more happiness and inner balance. 

Eclipses in 2014 fall mostly in your fourth and tenth houses. It’s time to take steps to improve your family and home life. You may need to review and change your career goals as well. Career matters come to a head. You may be challenged to perform and prove your competence in 2014. Keeping everything aboveboard is critical. Finding a balance between your attention to home and career is the challenge now.

Again this year, and especially in April and December, although your overall state of mind is stable and productive, some restlessness is likely. Mundane tasks capture your attention, but the urge to get out and about is bound to grab hold of you as well. You may need to deal with frequent distractions.

In May and June, some of you could gain property or support from family. Connecting intimately with another person boosts your sense of security. There is strong energy for getting in touch with the past conditioning that makes you what you are today. Periods when you completely relax and retreat, removing yourself from everyday affairs, will be especially beneficial. Help seems to be magically there when you need it, and your own awesome strength and faith is always there to draw upon. You could be working on a project in solitude or behind the scenes, and when you do come out with it, it could be quite profitable. You are learning that too much emphasis on the importance of material possessions can work against you. You are learning to put more value in the intangibles in life.

From September forward, a spirit of progress, innovation, and moving forward is with you. Trips could be especially rewarding for you, and there may be sudden opportunities to expand your horizons. You have a strong interest in broadening your mental experiences in general, and finding expression of your personality through them, perhaps through higher education or exploring different philosophies of life. Work opportunities might also be part of the picture now.
