2022: Cancer Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

Cancer (All):

Note: The summary or overview of the year resides here; details of the year are below.

The year 2022 is powerful for feeling that you’re exceling, rising, and growing, dear Cancer. Your belief systems, learning experiences, and hunger for adventure continue to develop, grow, and expand at a rapid pace. You feel more courageous and spirited as you sense that there is more “out there” for you to learn and take in.

Half of the year, Jupiter blesses you with the ability to take things in stride as it harmonizes with your own sign from fellow Water sign, Pisces. You are more intellectually curious this year, and you may have opportunities to study, expand your horizons, and connect with people who are of diverse backgrounds. Business dealings, particularly long-distance ones and those involving publicity and promotion, are likely to be profitable in 2022. You might readily find work through these avenues.

Career matters are approaching a very pleasant peak. Building your skills and expanding your reach are very advisable, as they can benefit you greatly as you move towards an especially successful period in your life. The desire to reach new levels of achievement and success is building.

One-to-one relationships are intense, serious, and changeful. Depth in your connections is what you seek. More casual connections are also up and down, but you’re learning much from your networks or group associations. Friendships that develop in 2022 can be significant in the long term.

Key Events in 2022 for Cancer:

Outer Planet Transits:

Pluto trine True North Node in February. This transit intensifies our passion to make a difference, a change, or connection. We can feel strongly connected to people or groups at this time.

For Cancer, friendships and connections feel fated and can be significant, changing your ideas about partnership or relationships, in general.

Jupiter sextile Uranus and semi-square Pluto in February. With these aspects, changes and innovations are exciting. We’re open to new energies, approaches, and attitudes. Fortunate events occur as a direct result of our willingness to entertain the unusual and to think outside of the box. We’re less tolerant of repetition and routine, and we’re resistant to obligations or limits to our self-expression. Good luck or money can happen unexpectedly, appearing in the nick of time.

As you approach friendships in novel ways, dear Cancer, opportunities for mind expansion, adventure, or evolving beliefs can emerge.

Jupiter conjunct Neptune in April. With this fabulous alignment, idealistic and humanitarian goals or impulses surface. Themes now are making connections with others of a different background, a spirit of altruism and generosity, widening our minds through unusual or different experiences, expanded faith, and a feeling that anything is possible if we believe in it. We more easily make personal sacrifices for what we believe to be the better good.

Everyday, ordinary life doesn’t satisfy, as we hunger for a more idealistic life. This can certainly lead to disappointment or strong feelings of discontent and restlessness. We may need a reality check in order to keep our expectations realistic. However, it’s a period of greater compassion–when our guiding principle is to trust in people or the universe.

This can be a magical time for Cancer for finding a special line of study or personal interest. Increased faith can figure strongly. Enriching cultural activities can figure strongly, and you especially love any art that elevates the human spirit.

Jupiter sextile Pluto in early May. We’re discovering our ambitions and motivations, and it’s an enjoyable, productive experience. It’s a time when we want to improve, grow, and bring something to the next level. As we connect with our hidden talents or desires, we begin to embrace new directions or pursuits.

For Cancer, you’ll be exploring differing viewpoints or customs. There can be rewarding experiences, such as publishing or learning, that positively impact a current relationship or that bring a new connection into your life. This can be an essential time for purging some of the beliefs or attitudes that no longer work for you or that have been holding you back, and this process may be prompted or motivated by a person in your life or a relationship itself. Some might publish a creative work and meet with reward and success during this period.

Uranus conjunct True North Node in July. With this transit, we attract people or lessons into our lives that encourage us to detach from traditions or conventions that are keeping us from growing. It’s a good time to make pivotal friendships or group connections. We’re learning to be more self-sufficient while concerning ourselves with bettering the world around us.

Other influences and minor transits:

Venus is retrograde from December 19th. Venus is retrograde in the sign of Capricorn from December 19th, 2021, to January 29, 2022.

For all, love, finance, and pleasure matters are not straightforward during this period–it’s a time to review our attitudes, feelings, and satisfaction levels rather than forge ahead boldly into new love relationships or financial projects. It may be best to avoid any major decisions about love (and finances) during this cycle.

While Venus is retrograde for these six weeks, people are a little more cautious and tight-fisted when it comes to generosity with their heart and their money!

Because this Venus retrograde cycle occurs in your partnership sector, it can be a slow period for relationships of the one-on-one variety. You could be turning to your past rather than looking ahead to your future. Karmic circumstances are occurring now. Nevertheless, you have plenty of warm attention on your close partnerships and loads of time to work things out after this retrograde phase.

You could be reviewing the pleasure factor or your satisfaction levels with one-to-one relationships. There can be some backing up and changes of heart at this time.

The Sun aligns with Jupiter in Pisces and Venus aligns with Mars in Aquarius on March 5-7. It’s a wildly creative and optimistic time. We’re generous with our time and energy, and we can be quite reactive and affectionate, perhaps bolder than usual as we wish to do something special.

Mars is retrograde from October 30, 2022, to January 12, 2023, in the sign of Gemini (pre-retrograde shadow begins September 3). We can feel stuck on past relationships or situations, finding it difficult to move ahead. Slowdowns, reparations, and reconsiderations are significant in your private life. It’s important to watch for an obsession with private issues or concerns about the past. Although it’s a good time to look back, it’s best not to dwell.

This cycle stirs up any unusual, overlooked, or buried anger, feelings, and desires that you’ve been ignoring. You may think twice before venting feelings, and you could be dealing with some indecisiveness or increased need for rest. Your desire nature can be rather complicated now, and it can be difficult to find direct routes to satisfaction. It’s time to rethink, revise, and reorganize your plans.

Please note that these key dates are synopses — quick summaries of astro-events — that are covered more in-depth in the monthly horoscopes and daily horoscopes.

Because outer planet transits are lengthy, there are variations in the timing of outer planet transits for each of the three decans of Cancer, and these are shown below the main, general forecast.

There are some interesting developments for you this year, dear Cancer. Every year, we see challenges and opportunities in different areas. It’s my hope that by understanding these areas of potential disruption and ease, you can make the most of these trends by seeking out the opportunities and managing the challenges.

The following chart shows the outer planets and other points in relation to your sign, revealing whether they are harmonizing with or challenging Cancer:

Grey is neutral (no direct relationship, but can be picky, nagging),

Pink is challenging (the planet is in a direct, challenging relationship to your sign),

and Green is easy and supportive (the planet or point is in a direct, harmonious relationship with your sign).

As is evident in the above chart, energies tend to be balanced between harmonious and disharmonious thrusts. This kind of distribution is probably ideal for most people (the goal isn’t to have no challenging aspects since they can be motivating).

Jupiter=Luck, Confidence,
Expansion, Growth, Hope, Improvement, Spirit

Saturn=Restriction, Structure, Simplicity, Realism

Uranus=Innovation, Excitement, Unrest, Rebellion, Change

Neptune=Inspiration, Spirit, Confusion, Dissolution, Enlightenment

Chiron=Vulnerability, Wisdom, Healing, Wholeness, Non-conformity

North Node=Life Lesson, Growth, Improvement, Challenge

Overview: Harmony and Challenge of Outer Planets:

Cancer is an emotional Water sign but is also of a take-charge Cardinal nature, so you fully appreciate the ability to connect with your spirit and imagination while keeping your feet on the ground.

The year 2022 holds its fair share of both practicality and inspiration.

Areas of change and occasional disruption for you in 2022 tend to be friendships, partnerships, and career. Even so, there is certainly less pressure on partnerships compared to two-three years ago.

This is a powerful year for your ideas, explorations, studies, and later, your career, reputation, or life path. You’re in great shape for discovering your voice and exploring new ideas or firming up current beliefs and educational systems. Go big in these areas, but know your limits!

**The following horoscopes reveal the outer planet, long-term trends for each decan. While Jupiter transits last about a year, the remaining outer planet transits last several years (an average of 2-1/2 years for Saturn, 7 years for Uranus, and so forth). This is why you can see some of the same trends continuing from previous years.

Note also that while the degrees of decans are precise, the dates are necessarily approximate since they vary slightly from year to year.

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

2022: Cancer Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

Until May 10th, and then from October 28th to December 20th:

Jupiter continues to move through your solar ninth house. Under this influence, you may have opportunities to travel (if advisable), study, go abroad, expand your horizons, and meet people who are of diverse backgrounds.

You might become more intellectually curious now, and academic pursuits are likely to benefit you and run smoothly during this cycle. Business dealings, particularly long-distance ones and those involving publicity and promotion, are liable to be profitable now. Legal matters might also work in your favor, or long-standing legal problems might now be ironed out. Some of you will be seeking legal advice and find it especially helpful now.

A more faithful attitude towards life, in general, is likely now--you tend to feel that everything will work out in the end. Authors might get published now, receive good reviews, or they could significantly expand their audience. Travel is entirely possible now, whether it's business or personal. Educational and travel opportunities expand your horizons. Teaching and learning are favored now. Writing and studying flow more naturally now. This is also an excellent period for positive dealings with in-laws!

Your mind is more expansive and tolerant, and you are under less stress than usual. You are less inclined to sweat the small stuff. 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. Watch for a tendency towards a "holier than thou" attitude.

New learning experiences, as well as "life" experiences (adventures, contacts with others of a vastly different culture than yours, and so forth) are likely to emerge. Over the course of the coming year, you might have the opportunity to reach a broader audience. You might choose to learn a new language or take on other studies. This is a great time for more optimism and perspective.

The most favorable periods for these matters occur while Jupiter is in direct motion in your solar 9th house from January 1-May 10 and November 23-December 20.

From May 10th to October 28th, and then from December 20th onward:

Jupiter, the planet of growth and expansion, is in your solar tenth house. During this cycle, increased public recognition and professional success are very possible. This can be a time of achievement, career advancement, and success in business. Business-related travel or the reaching of a wider audience is possible during this cycle. Your worldly or public status may change for the better. There could be a promotion, new job opportunities, a diploma, an important award, or marriage.

This can be a time for coming into the limelight in a significant way. Authority figures or other influential people tend to look upon you favorably, see more potential in you, and readily help you along, so work it! Something might happen now, or circumstances are such, that your career (or professional interests in general) expands, and you find more joy and pleasure from your work.

You could enjoy more freedom, or possibly even responsibilities, in your career. Integrity, directness, and honesty will get you everywhere now. The more willing you are to put yourself in the limelight, the more positive the rewards--this is not the time to be a shrinking violet!

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.

Your hard work and effort can be recognized now, and you could find yourself in a position that truly suits you, and this can be especially true for your talents, reliability, and practical insight.

For some of you, more prestige or a higher social standing may be part of the picture now. You can take great pride in the work you do. This is a time when believing in yourself, your competency, and your ability to take the lead opens up opportunities to you. It's a powerful period for innovation and progress.

Saturn transits your solar eighth house this year. This influence began in 2020 and will continue until March 2023.

Saturn asks us to follow at least some of the rules, be responsible, and pick up our socks wherever he's found in the chart. Saturn spends approximately 2-1/2 years in a sign. In your solar eighth house now, this is a period when getting what you want from others can be challenging, as you ultimately are learning to rely on yourself. You are likely to be more sensitive to what appear to be outer world pressures that force you to examine some of your deepest desires and attachments. These include your sexual relationships, your finances (especially with regards to debts and shared finances/support), and your need for control. You may face some difficulties satisfying your libido and/or encounter problems with intimacy. These pressures are "designed" to make you more aware of your desire nature, and what exactly it is you truly want.

Dissatisfaction and frustrations getting what you want, especially concerning relationships with others and your resources, often characterize the first part of the transit. You may discover that previous methods of controlling your environment and the people in your life are just not as effective anymore. You may not even be aware exactly how you have been employing power and control before this transit.

Saturn's presence in this sector of your chart also urges you to organize your finances. On a psychological level, you face some of your fears that are compulsive—those concerns that lead you to believe you need certain things to survive. Taxes might be an issue during this period. Facing the realities of debt may be another. Some of you may be supporting a partner, or a partner could be earning a little less. Towards the end of this transit, you will have eliminated some deep-seated habits and attachments that have been keeping you back from feeling emotionally free. You emerge healthier and stronger. When we give in to compulsive behaviors, we give up self-control, and guilt undermines our lives. We are not ourselves. By attempting to control others, we give away our own power over ourselves.

Tests can come to your financial and intimate worlds during this cycle. You may be dealing with fears of surrendering yourself, emotionally or financially, to others. Support from others may not be as forthcoming as it has been in the past. For example, a partner's income may decrease, or another form of financial support may no longer be available during this period. This requires you to assume more independence regarding making a living. For some, a line of study is coming to an end, and there is a need to take the next step.

Emotionally, there can be a feeling that others are not quite as supportive. There can be delays or difficulties in general when it comes to getting what you want or need from others. Intimacy may seem to dry up a tad before it gets better. However, it's a strong time for handling financial matters, especially debts and taxes, logically and realistically. You'll find that you waste considerably less energy by facing up to realities rather than living your life procrastinating and feeling vaguely guilty all of the time. It's an excellent time for sorting through your finances and dealing with the power dynamics in a partnership more equitably.

By the end of this transit, you are likely to feel considerably healthier on an emotional level. Ideally, you will have nixed some of your addictions, and mastered your superstitions. You will feel more powerful because you have given up attempting to control things you cannot or should not control, and you will have gained a feeling of self-mastery instead.

Uranus continues its transit of your solar eleventh house this year.

This Uranus long-term transit affects your friendships and enlivens your social circle. This transit follows a previous cycle in which career matters were evolving. At this time, changes in your social circle occur as you meet new and unusual people and experiment with who you are relative to others, the community, and groups. You may join a group that is devoted to metaphysics or some non-mainstream topic. You are drawn to people who are free-spirited at this point in your life. Friendships that are stodgy or limiting may no longer work. You have a strong ability to see each person for who they are as unique individuals, and this helps endear you to others. However, friendships may come and go during this cycle, or there can be unpredictability and unreliability until you find yourself and your place.

Neptune continues its lengthy transit through your solar ninth house this year.

Your overall perspective on life significantly expands, and you are more willing to embrace unusual, mystical, or spiritual philosophies during this period. Neptune's influence can be quite magical through the course of this long-term transit. 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 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 acute elements of this influence are long behind you.

Pluto continues its lengthy transit of your solar seventh house this year. The acute elements of this transit are long behind you.

Pluto's lengthy transit of your solar seventh house suggests that you're 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.

From January 18th forward, the North Node transits your solar eleventh house, and the North Node is pointing you in the direction of your association with groups, friends, and networking. You need to let go of any resistance you might feel about being "one of the crowd" in an effort to stand out as unique and special. You should be moving towards a more objective approach to your life this year, as well as cultivating true friendships. Your relationships with others - as well as your relationship with yourself - will benefit.

Cancer (Born July 2 to 12) – 10 to 20 degrees Cancer (2ND DECAN):

2022: Cancer Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

From February 12th onward,

Jupiter, the planet of growth and expansion, is moving through your solar ninth house. During this cycle, you may have opportunities to travel (if appropriate), study, go abroad, expand your horizons, and connect with people of diverse and interesting backgrounds.

You are more intellectually curious now, and academic pursuits can both benefit you and run exceptionally smoothly during this cycle. Business dealings, particularly long-distance ones and those involving publicity and promotion, are likely to be profitable now.

Legal matters might also work in your favor, or long-standing legal problems might now be ironed out. Some of you will be seeking legal advice and find it especially helpful now.

A more faithful attitude towards life, in general, is likely now—you tend to feel that everything will work out in the end. Authors might get published now, receive good reviews, or they could significantly expand their audience. Travel is possible now (if advisable), whether it's business or personal. Educational opportunities expand your horizons. Teaching and learning are favored. Writing and studying flow more naturally. This is also an excellent period for positive dealings with in-laws!

Your mind is more expansive and tolerant, and you are under less stress than usual. You are less inclined to sweat the small stuff.

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. Watch for a tendency towards a "holier than thou" attitude.

New learning experiences, as well as "life" experiences (adventures, contacts with others of a vastly different culture than yours, and so forth), are likely to emerge. You might choose to learn a new language or take on other studies. This is an exceptionally strong placement for Jupiter. You're considerably more adventurous and outgoing now.

The most favorable periods for these matters occur while Jupiter is in direct motion in your solar 9th house, from February 12-July 28, and from November 23rd forward.

Saturn transits your solar eighth house. This influence is typically felt most strongly in the first year of its influence – for your decan, that was last year. In 2022, you’re more comfortable with this energy.

Uranus begins or continues its lengthy transit of your solar eleventh house this year for most of you.

Neptune continues its lengthy transit through your solar ninth house.

Pluto continues its lengthy transit of your solar seventh house this year.

The acute elements of this Pluto transit are long behind you in 2022.

All year, the North Node transits your solar eleventh house, and the North Node is pointing you in the direction of your association with groups, friends, and networking. You need to let go of any resistance you might feel about being "one of the crowd" in an effort to stand out as unique and special. You should be moving towards a more objective approach to your life this year, as well as cultivating true friendships. Your relationships with others - as well as your relationship with yourself - will benefit.

Cancer (Born July 13 to 22) – 20 to 30 degrees Cancer (3rd DECAN):

2022: Cancer Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

From March 26th forward,

Legal matters might also work in your favor, or long-standing legal problems might now be ironed out. Some of you will be seeking legal advice and find it especially helpful now.

Your mind is more expansive and tolerant, and you are under less stress than usual. You are less inclined to sweat the small stuff.

The most favorable periods for these matters occur while Jupiter is in direct motion in your solar ninth house, from March 26-July 28, and from November 23-forward.

Jupiter transits trine your Sun. This is a feel-good transit that offers you opportunities to rise above petty concerns and to achieve a more balanced approach to your life. Relationships with others tend to be easygoing, friendly, and positive. It's natural for you to cooperate with others, and others find it easy to cooperate with you! This is a time when you genuinely enjoy life, appreciating the good things, and rarely harping on the more inconvenient or annoying elements of life.

Saturn transits your solar seventh and eighth house this year. Saturn divides its time between these two houses as it transitions.

Saturn motivates us to do "spring cleaning" in the areas of life it touches. In your case, significant one-to-one relationships need to be considered and understood during this transit. This is a time when you're called to define, understand, and crystallize your significant relationships with others. If you have a partner, this is a time when any issues surrounding compromise, flexibility, and the ability to give your heart to your partner will surface. Initial frustration in the early stages of this transit may take the form of feeling criticized and "examined" in this area of life. By the end of the transit, however, you will have learned much about commitment and compromise. Single people are likely to feel the initial pressures of Saturn transiting the seventh house as well. A feeling of loneliness is possible in either situation (whether you have/had a significant partnership or not), but instead of an issue of re-committing, the single person will seriously think about commitment in general. If involved in a casual love relationship, when Saturn transits the seventh, a pressure emerges concerning the need for evaluating your commitments. Often this transit corresponds with an urge (or pressure) to make a commitment or a recommitment.

Healthy partnerships can be the outcome of this transit, whether they are new ones or strengthened existing partnerships. Saturn always brings with it a fair measure of reality and objectivity, so that whatever relationships you may have now or want to have will be defined and re-defined. Relationships are seen now as serious matters! Partners are no longer mirrors of the ego. Responsibilities to partners, the need to compromise, and the realities of the needs of others, become clear. You see others as individuals and feel compelled to improve the manner in which you relate to and with others. Depending on your age and life circumstances, "significant partnerships" can mean partnerships with loved ones, business partnerships, one-on-one counseling, and deep friendships. By the end of this transit this year, quantity in the relationship department will have been replaced with quality, and this process involves time, soul-searching, frustration, and eventual fulfillment.

This is a time when you may not see the especially flattering side of a partner, or of yourself in response. 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 significant other is providing you with important life lessons - about traditions, simplifying your life, and responsibilities. While this might seem difficult now, you might later look back on this time of your life as a learning experience, and it's best not to automatically discard what someone has 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.

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 on some level have run their course and need to end. Some of you could be making a commitment to someone, and others may decide that a traditional partnership is not for you. This is not a period of status quo in your relationships - something is decided now. You may be seeing the sobering side of a relationship, significant person, or yourself through a relationship! If it's very uncomfortable, now is the time to make changes.

The cycle you’re transitioning into this year is as follows:

Uranus continues its lengthy transit of your solar tenth house.

Your career direction changes and your relationships with authority figures can be animated and dynamic during this long-term cycle. Do your best to avoid impulsive decision-making that is built solely upon your desire to be a free spirit. However, it's also important to make changes that accommodate your new independent outlook - my advice is to do it but avoid going overboard on this. You may recognize talents that you never knew you had, and this can be a sudden, exciting discovery!

Your career, professional projects, reputation, and public image appear to speed up, stimulate, and open up this year. These areas of life can be unpredictable - the wild card area of your life - but also highly stimulating and innovative. You can bring fresh insight into 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. 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 important input.

Your goals and objectives can take a real curve now. You seek to carve out your own path in your profession, and there can be interesting changes, rearrangements, or new directions.

Although Uranus is in Taurus, Uranus will not reach your decan’s eleventh house cusp in 2022.

Neptune continues its lengthy transit through your solar eighth house this year for many of you, as it has been doing for a number of years.

Neptune here can cast some fog over your debts to others or your intimate life. 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 at times during this long-term transit. Sometimes it's about shared assets or support. The boundaries that are normally drawn between what's yours/what's mine may be blurred somewhat at this time. A partner might have unsettled finances, and this could impact your own finances, for example. Do be wary of anything that even slightly resembles fraud. Lending others money may be a lesson in frustration during this cycle. Otherwise, this is a time for learning much about dependencies, addictions, dreams, inner motivations, and power dynamics.

However, those born with their Sun or Ascendant from 20 to 25 degrees Cancer begin or continue Neptune’s lengthy transit through your solar ninth house this year:

Pluto begins or continues its lengthy transit of your solar seventh this year for those born approximately from 20 to 28 degrees Cancer.

Pluto continues its lengthy transit through your solar sixth house this year for those born with 29-30 degrees Cancer. This transit brings gradual but profound changes to your daily routines and habits. You should certainly watch for straining yourself by working too hard when Pluto itself is strained or under pressure. During the course of this very long-term transit, you are learning about new ways of approaching health matters, particularly by uncovering root or core issues. Your work and habits are also evolving in important ways. This is a good period for ridding yourself of bad habits or routines, but be careful that you don't replace one bad habit with another! Expectations transform this year. Intensity and passion are craved now, and mediocre will no longer do it for you with your work, health, and habits. You’ve been going through this process for many years now.

Until mid-July, the North Node transits your solar eleventh house, and the North Node is pointing you in the direction of your association with groups, friends, and networking. You need to let go of any resistance you might feel about being "one of the crowd" in an effort to stand out as unique and special. You should be moving towards a more objective approach to your life this year, as well as cultivating true friendships. Your relationships with others - as well as your relationship with yourself - will benefit.

From mid-July, the North Node transits your solar tenth house, and this suggests that some of the greatest joys - and challenges - come through your career and public life. This is a time for putting yourself out there and for meeting your responsibilities.

*Please note: starting and ending dates are not fixed for any sign and they can vary slightly depending on the year you were born. If you are born near one of these dates and are unsure of your Sun sign, see What’s My Sun Sign?.
