2024: 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 ahead brings more stability and diverse interests, dear Cancer. A more vital awareness of others, a considerable emphasis on networking and enjoying time spent with friends, and a hard look at your viewpoints or personal interests are in store in 2024.
For years now, unusual people and alternative lifestyles have been themes in your social life. This year, you’re finding more than usual enjoyment from group or friend activities. Pleasant surprises and opportunities are likely in your social life. Friendships grow or begin. You may need a jolt out of a rut if you’ve held on to a position you have outworn. New projects and happiness goals are motivating. An exciting friendship connection in April might open doors for you. You can also feel inspired and motivated to take better care of yourself.
You continue to find joy through group associations and friendships in the first months of the year. You can make wonderful friends through work, health, and fitness routines. Alternatively, friends can be instrumental in finding work for you. The pace of your daily life is quick and sometimes hectic but usually quite fulfilling. It could be an especially profitable period if you’re in business for yourself.
Career and family need special handling, and balancing energy between the two is necessary and rewarding in 2024. You’re more interested in serious or practical topics, and it’s possible your interests or beliefs are changing quite a bit this year. You’re challenged to look at life and your future more realistically and practically. This is a good year for stabilizing and organizing many areas of your life. You are looking for solid answers, or events occur that have you thinking more deeply about your beliefs and morals. You can assume a leadership or teaching role this year quite naturally.
Dealing with the past figures strongly from late May forward – you could sometimes find yourself emotionally stuck there! The inner hermit in you can be stirring, and you could make some sacrifices (quite willingly) for others. You are not necessarily unsociable now, but you’re often content to do your own thing. The key to fulfillment is to recognize and honor your spiritual path and your need for alone time and reflection but to avoid neglecting your responsibilities in the process. With more attention to your reputation, career, or work this year, you’ll likely relish the time you have to yourself.
It becomes more critical to vibe with someone with solid values and beliefs in partnerships this year. Your expectations from more casual relationships are higher. From September forward, learning, publishing, sharing, and discovering are stronger themes.

Key Events in 2024 for Cancer:
Outer Planet Transits:
Jupiter conjuncts Uranus in April and is parallel Uranus in early May. These influences encourage high spirits. We’re ready to discover, explore, and innovate. This transit is exciting, futuristic, and original. The need for progressive change becomes glaringly apparent under this influence. It’s a time when we’re itching to update, refresh, and renew ourselves, projects, circumstances, and connections.
We might take risks (perhaps, but not necessarily, foolish ones) for the sake of freedom during this transit. We could too easily avoid taking responsibility for things that truly matter, or we could feel exceptionally restless.
We’re open to new energies, approaches, and attitudes under the influence of this transit. Fortunate events occur as a direct result of our willingness to entertain the unusual and to think outside of the box. We are feeling brave, positive, and optimistic. Enthusiasm runs high, the desire for freedom from restrictions is strong, and thirst for adventure is with us.
For Cancer, this alignment shakes up and excites your social sector. It’s a time of sudden benefits, happy improvements, and surprising changes with happiness goals and pursuits, friendships, networking, community involvement, and group associations. A person or group association that is more creative, visionary, unusual, or unconventional can figure strongly in your life now.
Jupiter forms a sextile with Neptune in May. Jupiter is expanding our desire for security, comfort, abundance, earthy or sensual experiences, money, and material things while in the sign of Taurus. As it harmonizes with spiritual Neptune in Pisces, we’re more likely to factor in our spiritual values and need for imagination, romance, and concern or compassion for others into our pursuit. We are inclined to see the good in people and situations.
For you, Cancer, this influence most affects your outlook, optimism, feelings of progress, friendships, and desire to learn, explore, and discover. These areas feel lighter, more romantic or idyllic, and pleasantly mysterious. There’s some serendipity happening now. You could make spiritual or soul connections with friends through shared beliefs or topics of interest, travel, or education.
Jupiter forms a trine to Pluto in early June, and it’s easier to tap into our hidden talents or desires. As we do, we embrace new directions or pursuits. We’re discovering our ambitions and motivations, and it’s an enjoyable, productive experience. It’s a time when we strive to improve, grow, and bring something to the next level. A desire for more personal significance can lead us to give of ourselves or motivate us to more ambitiously pursue personal or professional goals. We can be opportunistic–it’s easier than usual to recognize opportunities because we’re looking to advance.
For Cancer, this ambitious influence occurs in your sectors of deep emotions and buried desires. You’re learning much about yourself and your deepest needs and wants, and it’s rewarding! A relationship might deepen, perhaps due to resolution of a long-standing problem. Job opportunities might also emerge at this time.
Jupiter forms a square with Saturn in August, with Mars involved, and again in December, and circumstances are such that we must restructure our lives or plans in accordance with rules, laws, limits, and the demands of reality.
It’s best to breathe new life into old plans rather than to strike out with a new plan altogether during this period. We may need to cut back on something in order to grow in another area. It’s important not to overextend ourselves at this time and to avoid attempting easy fixes or shortcuts. The need to adjust our expectations becomes obvious.
For Cancer, it’s a time of possible sidetracking or difficulties concentrating on your priorities. While you have a great need and desire to enjoy more downtime, privacy, and rest or detox, outside obligations such as courses or special goals can be calling, and you can feel limited.
Jupiter forms a sextile with Chiron in October & November, bringing healing magic to our lives. Our attempts to broaden our horizons through such experiences as furthering our education, expanded activities, and spirituality, contribute much to our personal growth.
This subtly uplifting time brings us the opportunity to free ourselves from restrictive and negative attitudes that have been undermining our progress. We are especially open to learning from others, and better able to help others to understand our point of view. We might open our minds to different perspectives and philosophies. We are absorbing and possibly sharing what we’ve learned from past experiences and mistakes.
For Cancer, past work or earned life experiences can help you in your work or give you special direction. As well, giving your career or responsibilities your all can help you feel less guilty about truly enjoying periods of rest and relaxation. And, as you allow yourself time to heal and detox, the benefits of emotional renewal positively impact your career or reputation.
Other influences and minor transits:
Mars is retrograde from December 6th, 2024, to February 223rd, 2025, in the signs of Leo and Cancer (pre-retrograde shadow begins October 4th). We can feel stuck on past relationships or situations, finding it difficult to move ahead.
Slowdowns, reparations, and reconsiderations are significant with money or ownership matters, personal possessions, comfort or security, and personal income in the 2024 portion of this retrograde cycle. It’s time to rethink, revise, and reorganize your plans.
On a psychological plane, this can be about matters of respect and worth. The desire for more financial independence is building. However, you can feel hampered or restricted in these areas temporarily.
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:

As is evident in the above chart, there are more harmonious than challenging energies and almost no neutral energies! This suggests a particularly notable and rewarding year.

Overview: Harmony and Challenge of Outer Planets:
Your sign 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 2024 holds its fair share of both practicality and inspiration.
Getting serious about your beliefs, studies, or personal interests can figure strongly with Saturn spending all year in your solar ninth house. This transit helps ground and support you on practical levels. A realistic view of your life can help you now. Structured learning can figure strongly.
Areas of change and occasional disruption for you in 2024 tend to be friendships (but also more joy), partnerships, intimacy, and career.
This is, in fact, a powerful year for your career, reputation, or life path. You’re also enjoying benefits to your social life and happiness pursuits. From late May forward, your inner world and private life are a strong, happy focus. 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.

2024: Cancer Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
Until May 25th:
Jupiter continues to move through your solar eleventh house, bringing benefits and fresh energy to networking activities, the formulation of broad, long-term goals, acquaintances, clubs, and organizations in your life. You can rely on your friends for their help and support, and your circle of friends could most certainly increase during this fruitful transit.
Your long-term goals and wishes tend to be broad and perhaps unusual or ahead of the times during this cycle. You may particularly enjoy dreaming up ideas for the future. Achieving your goals tends to come more easily. Others especially value your advice and often turn to you for help. You could become more active with friends or in your community. You may have opportunities to join or lead clubs or groups.
Group activities and associations could be avenues for fulfilling your goals. You may take special joy in sharing a common cause or ideals with others. You are especially hopeful and more inclined to believe that if you wish it, it will be! Income from your business or career is likely to increase.
You might be more tolerant of others in general, and of differences in values. Reaching out beyond your personal circle can certainly open doors to you and bring joy into your life during this cycle.
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.
Also, Jupiter can bring too much of a good thing at times, and you might find that your social agenda is crammed or that you have taken on more friends or goals than you can reasonably handle.
Jupiter transits sextile 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 really enjoy life, appreciating the good things and rarely harping on the more inconvenient or annoying elements of life.
From May 25th forward:
Jupiter, the planet of growth and expansion, is in your solar twelfth house. During this longer-term transit, you may enjoy 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 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 especially useful 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.
Jupiter's influence is considered positive, and it is, ultimately. However, it acts to magnify the area of the chart that it affects, and at times it can be uncomfortable if you are having difficulties in this area. In your case, if you are lonely or if you feel helpless, and if you have troubles facing your past, then this influence can heighten these issues.
Ultimately, it's for good. The cosmos asks you now to surrender some of your attachments and to surrender to the unknown. Releasing control is necessary. Building your faith is the work you are doing now. While your tendency is to play a supportive role to others, if taken too far, you will need to draw some boundaries when it comes to your energy and time.
Your perceptions heighten, and in fact, intuition is extremely reliable now. Your ability to make sacrifices for others increases, and you might build your confidence in yourself as you help and support others.
The most favorable periods for these matters occur while Jupiter is in direct motion in your solar 12th house from May 25-October 8th.
Saturn transits your solar ninth house all year. This influence began last year and will continue until early 2026.
All year:
This period in your life is generally dedicated to self-improvement. You are developing your ideals and your commitments. Beliefs or spiritual goals that you may have taken for granted or worked with for many years seem superficial or not particularly useful to you now. You come face to face with your own self-defeating attitudes during this period of time, and important work can be done on coming to a more realistic state.
The need for solid, practical training can become very apparent now, particularly as Saturn rules your career sector. This can also be a period of teaching others what you have learned from your work, career, or business.
Higher learning and travel might be areas of constriction or you might find that you’re attracted to especially practical studies and that you travel for business more than for pleasure. You are taking a closer look at and perhaps re-assessing your attitude and confidence. The blind faith or optimism that may have carried you to date comes up for inspection. Are your belief systems sound? What do you stand for? What kind of future are you working towards, and why? These are some of the questions this transit stimulates. The spirit that drives you and motivates you to move out and beyond the everyday grind comes up for inspection. By the end of the transit, you will have a better understanding of what it is that offers you hope and optimism as well as that which fuels your drive. You will be one step closer to knowing where you are headed, and you will have re-built faith in yourself. Ideally, you adopt a more mature attitude towards adventure and facing the unknown. You let go of self-defeating attitudes that have been holding you back, you recognize exactly where you have been overdoing your expectations, and you find new ways to nurture faith, hope, and vision. This is truly a period of self-discovery.
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 until January 20th and then from September 1st to November 19th. 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.
Pluto began its slow transition into the next house of your solar chart last year. In 2024, this occurs from January 20th to September 1st and November 19th forward:
This very long-term transit has the effect of gradually deepening your interest in the hidden, mysterious, or taboo side of life, as well as your own deeper nature, primal urges, and desire for control. Attitudes towards dependencies on others, finances, and intimacy transform. Events occurring now have the effect of completely altering your perspective on these things.
All year, 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.

Saturn transits your solar eighth house until February 29th. This influence is typically felt most strongly in the first year of its influence – for your decan, it’s in the past, and you’re more comfortable with this energy. Further, this transit comes to an end.
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.
Saturn transits your solar ninth house from March 1st forward. This influence is typically felt most strongly in the first year of its influence – for your decan, that’s this year.
This period in your life is generally dedicated to self-improvement. You are developing your ideals and your commitments. Beliefs or spiritual goals that you may have taken for granted or worked with for many years seem superficial or not particularly useful to you now. You come face to face with your own self-defeating attitudes during this period of time, and important work can be done on coming to a more realistic state.
The need for solid, practical training can become very apparent now, particularly as Saturn rules your career sector. This can also be a period of teaching others what you have learned from your work, career, or business.

You let go of self-defeating attitudes that have been holding you back, you recognize exactly where you have been overdoing your expectations, and you find new ways to nurture faith, hope, and vision. This is truly a period of self-discovery.
Saturn trines your Sun this 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. This aspect goes a long way toward steadying and balancing your life. This is a wonderful time for self-discipline.
Uranus continues its lengthy transit of your solar eleventh house this year for most of you.
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.

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.

Refreshing interludes such as a vacation or other relaxing forms of entertainment are possible now.

2024: Cancer Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
From April 12th forward,
Jupiter, the planet of growth and expansion, is in your solar eleventh house. During this longer-term cycle, this transit brings benefits and fresh energy to networking activities, the formulation of broad, long-term goals, acquaintances, clubs, and organizations in your life. You can rely on your friends for their help and support, and your circle of friends could most certainly increase during this fruitful transit.
Your long-term goals and wishes tend to be broad and perhaps unusual or ahead of the times during this cycle. You may particularly enjoy dreaming up ideas for the future. Achieving your goals tends to come more readily. Others especially value your advice and often turn to you for help.
You could become more active with friends or in your community. You may have opportunities to join or lead clubs or groups. Group activities and associations could be avenues for fulfilling your goals, and you may very effectively find your voice through them. You may take special joy in sharing a common cause or ideals with others. You are especially hopeful and more inclined to believe that if you wish it, it will be! Income from your business or career is likely to increase.
You might be more tolerant of others in general and of differences in values. Reaching out beyond your personal circle can certainly open doors to you and bring joy into your life during this cycle.
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.
Also, Jupiter can bring too much of a good thing at times, and you might find that your social agenda is crammed or that you have taken on more friends or goals than you can reasonably handle.
Jupiter transits sextile 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 really enjoy life, appreciating the good things and rarely harping on the more inconvenient or annoying elements of life.
Saturn transits your solar eighth house this year.
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 eleventh house this year.
All 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 transits 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.
