Areas of Expansion in 2019 for Cancer:

Your Cancer 2019 Horoscope points to areas of life that are destined to expand and grow.

Work/Routines
Habits
Health
Partnership
Negotiations

Until December 2nd, 2019, your work, daily routines, and health endeavors continue to expand, improve, and grow. This is a time when your work projects or duties improve, or you have increased opportunities for employment. You can be so confident in your ability to take on projects and endeavors, however, that you overload your plate, so do watch for that. However, this can be a rather magical time for your everyday life and health in many ways, and these areas of life have endured somewhat serious or difficult energy in recent years, so it can come as a nice relief. This influence is with you until December 2020.

During this transit, you find more joy in your work (as long as you don’t overload), self-improvement endeavors, and taking care of your health. If you provide a service to others, it is likely to prosper, largely because you’re enjoying it more. You are especially successful in hiring people to work for you, if applicable, and improvements to your working environment are likely. It can be easier than usual to find employment now. You may get a new job during this cycle or significantly improve an existing one. Work tends to be very available to you. You can be very focused on what really matters to get ahead, and recognition for your efforts may be forthcoming.

You are proud of how useful you are to others during this cycle. The more integrity and honesty you bring to your services, the more “payback” you will receive. Health is likely to prosper now, and medical procedures or programs, if necessary, are more likely to be successful. You are bringing fresh and original ideas to the work you do and the services you offer. Overload or the magnification of problems surrounding work can be experienced during this cycle. There is a tendency now to focus on the details of your work, and you might sometimes feel a little overwhelmed with monotonous tasks. There may be an inclination to put on some weight if you don’t watch your sweet tooth, but in most other ways, health can be a fortunate area of life as long as you’re not slack with it.

Your work might involve more services or the assisting of others during this cycle, and for some, health-related or healing professions can be attractive at this time.

Challenges may occur sporadically from January to September when there can be conflicts between pulls towards work and pulls towards recreational or educational activities, or you may suffer the consequences of taking on so much that you have trouble taking time for yourself. It can be hard to fit in everything that you want to accomplish now.

However, for the most part, this is a good time for appreciating what you do, for developing your skills, for finding work, and for working relationships.

From December 2nd onward, your relationships receive a boost of forward-moving energy. This cycle that lasts over a year (until December 2020) helps you succeed in partnership or improve your relationship status/situation.

Your partnerships, relating abilities, and powers of negotiation begin to grow and expand. New partnership opportunities can arrive now, or the chance to bring fresh energy to an existing committed relationship emerges. Relationships entered into now are generally successful and happy — they are mutually beneficial. Sometimes, this transit absolves an existing partnership, but if this is the case, it is likely to come as a relief, or it is a “blessing in disguise.” Meeting someone better for you at this point in your life may be a reason for this, although it’s important not to jump into something new blindly. Your ability to get along with others is enhanced as you are especially willing to compromise, and you are more appealing than usual.

The positive potentials of this transit are many: You can negotiate more successfully, and, if applicable, win in legal matters. Legal matters or challenging relationship problems from the past can be resolved, and more casual disputes can be settled amicably as well. You may find yourself taking on the role of consultant or advisor, or you could benefit from help from same. Good publicity may come your way. If your career has you working with or before the public, you can safely expect increased popularity now, particularly if you do counseling or negotiating in your job. Relationships and partnerships benefit from expansive, warm energy, difficult relationships may be absolved, and/or successful new ones are entered into during this period.

Jupiter rules your sector of work, health, habits, and routines. Any of these things can be tied with partnerships during this time. A romantic or business partnership could form through your work or through connections you make in your pursuit of lifestyle changes, or a lifestyle change/makeover may result from a collaboration. A partnership may strengthen as you work together or pursue the same/similar health program.

This can also be a time when shared beliefs, interests, and ideologies are a focal point in a close relationship. For some, a significant person comes into your life with common educational goals or belief systems, possibly through long-distance connections, schools, or publishing/online activities. For many of you, you are attracting people who want to help, who are on your side, and who take a strong interest in you.

Potential negatives: You may be attracting partners who are more concerned with freedom than with pairing, or who seem to be quite extravagant or full of themselves. There could be troubles associated with an existing partner’s extravagance or demand for freedom.

However, for the most part, you are likely to enjoy an improved social life during this cycle. You learn a lot through your experiences and interactions with an important “other.” Especially in December, you are in an excellent opportunity period for taking advantage of the benefits of this influence. Alliances might be made, and partnering matters are strong, committed, and beneficial. Friendships become very cozy for some of you, and a spirit of friendship can figure strongly in a partnership. A partnership can be a source of inspiration, and the realization of a long-term dream or goal seems more likely now through the support or positivity of a friend/partner.

Areas of Contraction and Lessons in Simplicity:

Relationships
Negotiations
Agreements

Your Cancer 2019 Horoscope points to areas of contraction, restriction, and necessary “slimming down” in order to test for stable foundations. There are always areas of life that require more simplicity. Tests may be part of the picture as you learn that life with only growth and expansion can run away with itself.

Until 2020, the areas of your life that require a “back to basics” approach are associated with the sector of your solar chart that rules close personal relationships, such as marriages and other committed partnerships, long-term associations, open enemies, negotiations, agreements, and contracts. There may be tests of sorts in these areas of life as if the universe is checking that the foundations are strong. Things built on weak foundations may very well crack under the pressure of these tests. Those that are strong will endure and strengthen.

This influence will be with you until the end of the year 2020. It can be felt most strongly earlier or later in the cycle, depending on whether you were born earlier or later in the sign of Cancer. This year, those born with a Cancer Ascendant of 11 to 21 degrees, and those born from July 3-14, are most directly affected.

For those of you who are in committed partnerships, there can be some strains on your bond during this cycle. A partner might feel like a “heavy” in your life, and any feelings of restriction that you feel or have felt in this area of life may seem magnified in your mind now. A partner might also seem cautious, distant, critical, or defensive. You need to open your mind to the possibility that a partner is providing you with important life lessons – about traditions, simplifying your life, and responsibilities. Do not automatically discard what they have to say. Take your time on this one. If, however, a partner is challenging you to the point of breaking, then steps need to be taken to improve the situation.

For those of you who are not in committed relationships, it is quite unlikely that you’ll enter a new long-term partnership or commitment rashly. Some of you might begin one but will do so quite cautiously and carefully. Some of you might be attracted to older or more mature and established people as partnership “material”. This can be a make or break period for many of you. If you decide to make a commitment to someone, it’s likely to be a long one.

Those of you who are single might nevertheless feel some angst or pressure. This lack in your life might suddenly seem magnified, like a gaping hole. You might lose hope, temporarily, that you’ll ever find a strong, committed partnership. Feelings of loneliness may run deep this year, but the universe is sending you a message through this experience regardless. It is awakening you to a need. In time, you will find ways to satisfy this need.

Some of you could be making a commitment this year. A relationship can encounter some tests or complications, but if it’s strong, it will weather the storm and you could decide to take it to another level. If not, remember that relationships “lost” during a Saturn transit to your partnership sector generally are not good for you in the long run. This is a time when you may be seeing the less flattering side of others, and through your relationships, of yourself as well!

Others may be restricting you, or at least that’s how you might perceive things, and you may not be at your best in terms of overall energy. Some areas of your life may seem to be breaking down before they get better. There can also be bone and teeth problems – something that often happens with hard Saturn transits. Tidy and organize your life as much as possible in order to minimize the challenges.

Seek ways to balance your life in terms of pleasures and responsibilities. Don’t turn your back on commitments and traditions entirely, and aim to learn and grow as much as possible from your experiences. The benefits of this transit are great, even if they sometimes feel slow to make themselves known! Incidentally, the last time this theme occurred was from 1988-1990.

Areas of Excitement, Innovation, Independence, and Speed: Career, Reputation, Status, Friendships, Social Life

Your 2019 Cancer Horoscope points to areas of your life that seem to speed up so that you can take some risks, innovate, and revolutionize.

In March 2011, you entered a lengthy cycle in which career and public image matters have been unpredictable and unusual, but also inspiring and exciting. This influence continues until March 2019 and then leaves permanently. The transit that began May 15th and ran to November 6th last year picks up again from that date on. This one will last all the way to 2026.

Until March 6th, your career, professional projects, reputation, and public image continue to speed up, stimulate, and open up. These areas of life can be unpredictable – the wild card area of life – but also highly stimulating and innovative. You can bring fresh insight to your work. You can also learn to let go of limiting self-consciousness. As long as you don’t push it too far, you can free yourself from some of the fears you have of not living up to others’ expectations, particularly those of parents or society in general.

This may be a time when you take an unexpected turn in your work or in your life path or direction. You may have surprised a few people in your life! Make sure you don’t jump on a bandwagon that is impractical. Also, while you prefer to set your own pace in your work, try not to become a loner in your professional life. Others can have valuable input that you might miss while you’re busy being independent! By nature, you are not the biggest of risk takers, but more courage is with you during this period for breaking out along new paths.

For some of you, there can be gossip to deal with or challenges finding a balance between your studies/life experiences and your responsibilities. Watch that you don’t let either slip in favor of the other. You may be dealing with wildcards, unexpected events, wilfulness, and desire for increased freedom on both career and relationship fronts, and you can feel torn between the two or overstretched at times.

However, take this opportunity to break out of a mold and live your career or reputation more authentically.

From March 6th, a lengthy transit continues in which friendships and group associations can be unpredictable and unusual, but also inspiring and exciting. You are more attracted to people who are free-spirited, individualistic, and possibly even eccentric. Your social life is bound to be very colorful now and in coming years. Note that this influence lasts until April 2026.

December is particularly strong for bringing new and improved or progressive energy to your relationships.

Areas of Change, Purging, & Transformation: Partnerships, Money, Shared Assets, Intimacy, Self-Worth

Your 2019 Cancer Horoscope reveals areas of life in which change and transformation take place. It’s a time for “out with the old, in with the new.”

Attitudes towards partnerships, close personal relationships, compromise, and significant others continue to transform this year. This is due to Pluto’s presence in your opposing sign – a long-term visitor.

Challenges with this theme are more likely to occur in April when personal goals and the desire to take the lead tend to clash with partnership goals. You will be pouring more energy into your personal plans, and this can cause some friction in a partnership. The temptation is to do it all–and to do it all in a big way–but there is a natural limit to energy levels and your time, so don’t burn yourself out.

In 2019, the Moon’s Nodes and eclipse activity move from your sectors of shared finances, material and emotional support, and your intimate life, to questions of independence and partnership. Early in 2019, you could be making a settlement or making changes in the way you depend on others.

Throughout 2019, the true North Node is in your sign. This points to a genuine need to learn how to rely on yourself, which ultimately will bring you more joy and opportunity. It’s a time for you to reach a balance between partnering and independence. Your personality and your partnerships evolve in important ways. Personal appearance, your body, your image, and your independence are areas of special focus in 2019. There can be important relationship changes this year and the next.
