Overview for this Month: Cancer (All)
December 2020 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Cancer:
December is a strong period for making helpful edits and adjustments, dear Cancer. Work and health matters are in sharper focus. If you really need to get things done and do preparation work, you're well-supported and best off to do so sooner than later. Organizing, chores, and health pursuits are favored, especially after the Solar Eclipse on the 14th. A new job, major project, or commitment to wellness can be in the works.
Venus harmonizes beautifully with your sign until the 15th, bringing out your natural charm and attractiveness. It also helps you connect with others in happy, peaceful, and gently stimulating ways. It's a time for putting your faith in people and enjoying the rewards that follow.
You can experience a strong desire or drive to be efficient this month, and you might often zip through challenges quickly and orderly. Applying yourself to something constructive is satisfying. Putting in the effort to improve your daily routines is enjoyable, and it can feel good to rise to a challenge, especially one of your own making.
Signs that you're ready to make positive lifestyle changes are everywhere this month. Your confidence with your longer-term goals, career, or life path is strengthening. You're likely to apply yourself with purpose and intent, and you're willing to put in the effort to reach your goals. There can be outside recognition for those things that you do above and beyond the call of duty, or you could allow the pride you feel for all of your efforts to motivate you further. After some months of reassessing your career or life path, motivation is returning to grab what you want from life.
This eclipse season gives you a bit of a push to deal with the details and practical side of everyday life, to become more organized, and to take charge of your routines, but they also want you to take the time for rest and regeneration. This is an important time for formulating goals, initiatives, and plans that get you back on track physically and mentally. At the same time, there is a growing theme of companionship, collaborations, and close partnerships in your astrology as the month advances.
After an almost three-year stay, Saturn is now exiting your partnership sector and moving away from its opposition to your sign. This time, it's for the long-term--Saturn won't return to this area of your chart for another twenty-six years. There can be a sense of relief or release now. Saturn now turns your attention to financial and intimate arrangements going forward, but the shift taking place now takes the direct pressure off, and it can improve your vitality considerably.
Saturn will influence your intimacy sector until March 2023, but in a rare turn of events, much of its first year here, Jupiter is visiting the same sector. You could be making some changes in the structure of your relationships. Quality over quantity is one way of looking at it, but this can also have to do with a new, deep, consuming relationship for some. There is likely to be more emphasis on deeper, more meaningful relationships with others and some pulling back from team or group settings in the coming period, and this month, you're beginning to feel some of this energy. It's also a powerful time to get into deeper touch with yourself, inner desires, fears, addictions, and vulnerabilities.
Combining your resources, talents, and/or money with those of a partner can improve your financial outlook or stabilize your life in key ways in the year ahead. You might instead benefit from managing others' resources and talents. Or, the work you do can transform your lifestyle in a major way. There can be more joy in simplifying and producing. You may very well make an important commitment or form a powerful alliance or attachment--it's a good time for gaining a supporter or some backing. You might also straighten out critical areas of your life.
From the 20-21, you have Mercury and the Sun working for your relationships. It's a great time for relationships that involve advice-giving, agent work, and counseling. While relationships could have challenging moments, you seem to need others' support and companionship to bring out the best in you now. You tend to attract talkative people into your life or more conversation and interaction in your current relationships.
The Full Moon in your sign on the 29th can serve as a cosmic push to confront your feelings. Something buried or an issue that has been brewing for some time can come to light, finding release. Emotions that surface can point you to areas of your life that need more attention. This puts you in a good place for knowing your heart as you move into the New Year.
Cancer (Born June 22 to July 1) and Cancer Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Cancer:
December 2020 Cancer Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
December 2020
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until December 20th:
The Sun continues to spotlight your solar sixth house. This is a busy period that finds you tending to many different details of your daily existence--your work, various projects, organization around the home and office, your daily routines, and health matters. Your ego may be especially tied up in the work you do, so that you are proud and more creative than usual in your job. You may be in the position to take charge in your work, or to take charge of your health and diet. Sometimes this cycle relates to increased activities involving pets. You seek to perfect your skills or methods now, and you focus on the parts that make up the whole now in order to improve your daily life. As a result, you can be more critical than usual, but this process is necessary for you to sort out what works for you and what doesn't.
From December 21st forward:
The Sun illuminates your seventh house. At this time of year, you have a greater need than usual to be with a partner. Bouncing ideas off someone helps you to better understand yourself. A partner provides a mirror for your own self-discovery. Now is the time to realize your own potential through a significant other. During this cycle, you focus on balancing your personal interests and objectives with your social life, or with those of a partner. The emphasis is on "us" rather than "me".
You need the energies, companionship, and support of other people, and they may also seek out your support and companionship. It's important to include others rather than to go solo for the time being. However, bending too much to the will of another is not advised either. Social interactions of a personal, one-on-one kind are emphasized. Circumstances are such that your diplomacy skills are required. Your popularity is increasing, and is reinforced by your own ability to cooperate and harmonize. Your ego and pride are tied up in how you relate to others now. This may be an especially busy time for people who consult or work with clients one-on-one.
Eclipse
A Solar Eclipse Occurs on December 14th: A general rule of thumb regarding eclipses is to avoid major decision-making in the week before and after an eclipse. This is because new information that could change our perspective often is revealed in the week after the eclipse. There is absolutely no need to suspend projects already in progress. Essentially, it's better to take in right now--to observe and get in touch with feelings. The Solar Eclipse marks a new beginning for you. Letting go of the past is necessary in order to move forward. This eclipse occurs in your solar sixth house, suggesting a new approach to work or health is in order. A new set-up in existing jobs or a new job altogether may be formed in the coming months, as well as a sense of renewal and reinvigoration with regards to your daily activities, health routines, and attention to practical matters. This is a phase when you have an increased awareness of the daily routines that keep you organized and of your own health.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until December 15th:
Venus continues to transit your solar fifth house. Your popularity is on an upward trend during this cycle as others find you especially attractive and friendly. You may have the desire to dress well and in good taste. There is strength in your feelings of love and the power of attraction, which may open the door to new romantic relationships. Yet, you are not aggressive in your approach to love. Instead, you attract more if you allow yourself to be pursued during this cycle. Conditions are highlighted in connection with young people, and quite possibly a female child--a stronger bond could be formed during this period. You are feeling inspired creatively and romantically and you express your loving feelings quite openly now. Creative self-expression of any kind is favored at this time. You will also thoroughly enjoy artistic, musical, or cultural events and activities, especially in the company of a loved one. At this time, you instinctively know how to place yourself in the best light in order to make a good impression on others. Any love affair begun now will be characterized by good cheer, having fun, and a fair share of emotional drama!
From December 15th forward:
Venus graces your solar sixth house now. Establishing a happy and harmonious work environment through friendly relations with co-workers or tidying up your work area comes into focus now. Romantic and social activities may revolve around your working environment. You are generally well liked and respected socially on the job right now. Some laziness is possible now, as you tend to associate pleasure with work! Perhaps you are socializing more than usual on the job. You have good team spirit during this cycle, and you are more tactful and obliging with your co-workers. You are less inclined to fall in love for the sake of love itself during this cycle. Your tendency is to consider whether it is clever to do so! You're most successful doing tasks that involve cooperation and team harmony. You could find that your talents or skills are especially appreciated. Romantic and social activities may revolve around your working environment.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
From December 1-20:
Mercury transits your solar sixth house. This is a good placement for Mercury, as it is the natural ruler of the sixth house. It's an excellent period for sorting out the details of your daily existence. You are inclined to make to-do lists, pay bills and sort out clutter, and to do detail work on the job. Health matters are most certainly on your brain as well, and you could be thinking of scheduling check-ups or busy researching ways to improve your health. You may also show a keener interest in improving your basic skills.
Your approach to work during this cycle is pleasant, happy, and logical for the most part, unless you allow worry or scattered energy to enter the picture. You are inclined to want to learn new work skills, or to improve your skills and output in terms of work. There is likely to be more activity, movement, contact, and communications with co-workers now.
You tend to take more interest in organizing your working environment--and this is an excellent time to do so, as you are especially objective and intelligent when it comes to getting a handle on your daily affairs and all of the "little things" that contribute to a feeling of efficiency and competency. Menial tasks become more prominent. Watch, however, for tension or idle chit-chat interfering with your work output during this cycle.
From December 21st:
Mercury transits your solar seventh house. You tend to weigh the pros and cons of every issue during this cycle, taking into account others' needs as well as your own. Some indecisiveness is possible now, simply because you naturally entertain opposing viewpoints. You have a strong desire to cooperate and communicate with others now. You feel most comfortable spending time with people on a one-to-one level, or with those with whom you share a personal history.
Interestingly, your own thoughts become clearer through dialogue with others during this window. You may be doing public relations work, counseling, negotiating, or arbitration during this cycle. There is a lot of emphasis on communications with partners and best friends at this time. You can use the power of words to advise others or to make peace with people in your life. You are more diplomatic than usual during this transit.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
All month:
Mars continues to energize your solar tenth house now. You bring much energy, enthusiasm, and drive to your career or to directing activities in your life during this cycle. You may be quite competitive during this period, preferring to achieve and accomplish things on your own. This attitude can, in some cases, be seen by others as an instigating or otherwise offensive energy, so be aware of that possibility.
This is a strong time for directly pursuing your goals, and, if you need that extra push or oomph to get a plan going, particularly a professional one, or to assert your desires, then this is the time. You are self-motivated, and your enthusiasm can be harnessed if you so choose.

December 2020 Cancer Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
December 2020
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until December 11th:
The Sun continues to put a spotlight on your solar fifth house. This is a time when pleasure-seeking and creative activities come into focus and grab much of your attention. You are particularly personally charming in a spontaneous, natural way during this solar cycle. This is the time of year when you are ready to perform and to express yourself creatively.
This is a very playful cycle, when you are inspired creatively and emotionally. It's a good time for recreation, romance, connecting with children, and enjoying and performing the arts. Your ego is tied up in your children, romantic relationships, and creative output now, so that you can be especially proud of these people and things. You can also be over-sensitive about these matters if you feel you are not getting enough appreciation.
From December 12th forward:
The Sun illuminates your solar sixth house. During this cycle, you take more pride in the work you do and in your health routines than any other time of the year. You are sorting through the experiences of the last several months, separating the worthwhile from the worthless. This is a good time to build your skills, to get organized, and to attend to your health and wellbeing. It's a great time to make improvements to your regular routines.

Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort
Until December 6th:
Venus continues to transit your solar fourth house now. Domestic relationships and the home environment tend to be especially harmonious and peaceful during this cycle. You may have a desire to decorate your home with better quality items or more attention to aesthetics. An inner sense of peace and security tends to dominate now, or the desire for peace motivates you now. Your affections are strong but you don't wear your heart on your sleeve just now, preferring quiet moments with loved ones.
From December 7-31:
Venus warms your solar fifth house. This is an expressive period for the goddess of love! It's natural for you to turn on the charm without even lifting a finger. You are especially attracted to aesthetic forms of recreation. You feel a little more playful now, and love matters tend to be laced with a touch of drama. That shouldn't be a problem--in fact, you kind of like it that way for the time being. More loving and appreciative relationships with your children may also figure now. Your powers of attraction skyrocket during this cycle. Yet, you are not aggressive in your approach to love. Instead, you attract more if you allow yourself to be pursued during this cycle. Creative self-expression of any kind is favored at this time. At this time, you instinctively know how to place yourself in the best light in order to make a good impression on others. Any love affair begun now will be characterized by good cheer, having fun, and a fair share of emotional drama!
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Until the 14th:
Mercury continues to transit your solar fifth house. Increased communication with children, romantic partners, and people who share the same hobbies as you can occur now. Certainly, you are thinking about these people and about love and romance, child rearing, and/or creative pursuits more than usual. Mental exercises and competitions can be particularly enjoyable now. You express yourself with warmth and creativity, and you have an appreciative "audience" for your ideas now.
From the 14th forward:
Mercury transits your solar sixth house. This is a good placement for Mercury, as it is the natural ruler of the sixth house. It's an excellent period for sorting out the details of your daily existence. You are inclined to make to-do lists, pay bills and sort out clutter, and to do detail work on the job. Health matters are most certainly on your brain as well, and you could be thinking of scheduling check-ups or busy researching ways to improve your health. You may also show a keener interest in improving your basic skills.
Your approach to work during this cycle is pleasant, happy, and logical for the most part, unless you allow worry or scattered energy to enter the picture. You are inclined to want to learn new work skills, or to improve your skills and output in terms of work. There is likely to be more activity, movement, contact, and communications with co-workers now.
You tend to take more interest in organizing your working environment--and this is an excellent time to do so, as you are especially objective and intelligent when it comes to getting a handle on your daily affairs and all of the "little things" that contribute to a feeling of efficiency and competency. Menial tasks become more prominent. Watch, however, for tension or idle chit-chat interfering with your work output during this cycle.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until the 11th:
Mars continues to animate and energize your solar ninth house. Your energy levels and sense of timing are good during this cycle. You are strong and bold in your beliefs and convictions as well, and others tend to naturally follow your lead. You actively seek out new learning experiences and have a strong desire to set out on new adventures, however big or small. Others find you easy to be around, even inspiring and energizing, and are attracted to your assertiveness and courage.
From the 12th forward:
Mars animates and energizes your solar tenth house. This transit stimulates your ambition and/or your desire to be recognized for your accomplishments. Whether it's professional or personal, you are likely to have an increased desire for others to notice you. This can be a good time to become self-employed or start a business if other factors (and Mars itself) are favorable. Conflicts with those in authority are possible now. You may pour more energy into self-promotion or business/career activities.
Overview Horoscope:
December 2020 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Cancer:
December is a strong period for making helpful edits and adjustments, dear Cancer. Work and health matters are in sharper focus. If you really need to get things done and do preparation work, you're well-supported and best off to do so sooner than later. Organizing, chores, and health pursuits are favored, especially after the Solar Eclipse on the 14th. A new job, major project, or commitment to wellness can be in the works.
Venus harmonizes beautifully with your sign until the 15th, bringing out your natural charm and attractiveness. It also helps you connect with others in happy, peaceful, and gently stimulating ways. It's a time for putting your faith in people and enjoying the rewards that follow.
You can experience a strong desire or drive to be efficient this month, and you might often zip through challenges quickly and orderly. Applying yourself to something constructive is satisfying. Putting in the effort to improve your daily routines is enjoyable, and it can feel good to rise to a challenge, especially one of your own making.
Signs that you're ready to make positive lifestyle changes are everywhere this month. Your confidence with your longer-term goals, career, or life path is strengthening. You're likely to apply yourself with purpose and intent, and you're willing to put in the effort to reach your goals. There can be outside recognition for those things that you do above and beyond the call of duty, or you could allow the pride you feel for all of your efforts to motivate you further. After some months of reassessing your career or life path, motivation is returning to grab what you want from life.
This eclipse season gives you a bit of a push to deal with the details and practical side of everyday life, to become more organized, and to take charge of your routines, but they also want you to take the time for rest and regeneration. This is an important time for formulating goals, initiatives, and plans that get you back on track physically and mentally. At the same time, there is a growing theme of companionship, collaborations, and close partnerships in your astrology as the month advances.
After an almost three-year stay, Saturn is now exiting your partnership sector and moving away from its opposition to your sign. This time, it's for the long-term--Saturn won't return to this area of your chart for another twenty-six years. There can be a sense of relief or release now. Saturn now turns your attention to financial and intimate arrangements going forward, but the shift taking place now takes the direct pressure off, and it can improve your vitality considerably.
Saturn will influence your intimacy sector until March 2023, but in a rare turn of events, much of its first year here, Jupiter is visiting the same sector. You could be making some changes in the structure of your relationships. Quality over quantity is one way of looking at it, but this can also have to do with a new, deep, consuming relationship for some. There is likely to be more emphasis on deeper, more meaningful relationships with others and some pulling back from team or group settings in the coming period, and this month, you're beginning to feel some of this energy. It's also a powerful time to get into deeper touch with yourself, inner desires, fears, addictions, and vulnerabilities.
Combining your resources, talents, and/or money with those of a partner can improve your financial outlook or stabilize your life in key ways in the year ahead. You might instead benefit from managing others' resources and talents. Or, the work you do can transform your lifestyle in a major way. There can be more joy in simplifying and producing. You may very well make an important commitment or form a powerful alliance or attachment--it's a good time for gaining a supporter or some backing. You might also straighten out critical areas of your life.
From the 20-21, you have Mercury and the Sun working for your relationships. It's a great time for relationships that involve advice-giving, agent work, and counseling. While relationships could have challenging moments, you seem to need others' support and companionship to bring out the best in you now. You tend to attract talkative people into your life or more conversation and interaction in your current relationships.
The Full Moon in your sign on the 29th can serve as a cosmic push to confront your feelings. Something buried or an issue that has been brewing for some time can come to light, finding release. Emotions that surface can point you to areas of your life that need more attention. This puts you in a good place for knowing your heart as you move into the New Year.

About These Monthly Horoscopes:
Our detailed monthly horoscopes are designed to reveal and interpret the current transits of the Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Mars in your solar chart. Because these energies or transits do not unfold neatly into any given calendar month (many transits carry forward from one month to the next), you will find some of the energies continue from the previous month. For example, the Sun might transit the second house of your solar chart from June 21 to July 22, so that you will find a similar interpretation for this transit in both June and July’s horoscope. This is normal and expected. Transits don’t abruptly change as the calendar month changes.
These monthly horoscopes also include an overview paragraph, as well as other energies specific to the month, such as retrogrades, eclipses, or major outer planet transits.
The Lunar Cycles section reveals lunar cycle dates. Lunar cycles repeat themselves approximately every 28 days, so it is normal to see the same lunar peaks, such as “Your Personal New Moon” and “Monthly career peak” repeat themselves from month to month, but with different dates. They serve as a helpful guide to cycle peaks in different areas of life, such as financial, career, romance, and partnership.
The horoscopes are divided into three groups or decanates, and the differences between the groups are subtle in parts and large in other parts. For those who prefer a whole sign approach to horoscopes, simply read the first decanate regardless of your birthdate.
