Cancer

Cancer (Ruling Planet: Moon; Element: Water) Everyone says you’re overly emotional, Cancer. And it’s true. But your emotions also fuel every aspect of your otherwise creative, intuitive, spontaneous, loving and protective personality. And you are generally a faithful friend, Moonchild. You motivate and persuade others easily. But the Crab is moody and unbalanced. You fluctuate between clingy and icy, depending on your mood and how pessimistic you’re feeling that day.

The new moon in Aquarius will set the tone for February as far as feeling closer to your loved ones and finding information. When Mercury enters the air sign on Feb. 13th, you’ll want to really focus your obsessions on, and admit it — you need this. You might come off as more serious and outgoing, but also warm and passionate, especially as the Sun crosses into Pisces on Feb. 19th. But the best advice I can give you for this month, Moonchild, is to have any important conversations you’ve been putting off, especially if it’s about money. Venus in Aquarius in the middle of the month will prep you for this, urging you to strengthen emotional bonds. But—and this is important—wait until the end of the month when we have a full moon in Virgo to take charge of the situation. If you express yourself clearly and concisely, unexpected opportunities await.

Your February Trax:

Something like locals Du Vide’s most recent EP, clutter, could be the very thing to help you declutter some of your obsessions this month. And if you’re into Du Vide, try listening to Florist’s equally intimate but, somehow more optimistic The Birds Outside Sang. If either of those don’t do it for ya, there’s always Jesu/Sun Kil Moon’s self-titled album; but it’s wordy and heavy, so just get ready to really delve into some serious emotional navigation. The last option I’ve got has to be the ever-obsessive, and fellow water sign, Sharon Van Etten’s Tramp.
