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.
Your love sector lights up later in the month when the Sun, Mercury, and a new moon all transit this part of your chart. Expect passionate Scorpio’s influence to focus all your time and attention on love– whether it’s doing work that you love, attending to the cutesy details, or opening up with any romantic partners. Plus, the planet of love’s location in fiery Sagittarius on the 18th will fuel your passionate and creative side. Other than that, a full moon in Aries on the 16th may prompt a high point, if you’ve been responsible with your time lately. If you haven’t, those responsibilities will weigh heavily on you with this full moon, but you can deal. Lastly, Mercury’s nostalgic influence around the 7th will help you express yourself, especially if you surround yourself with familiar faces in familiar places.
Your Trax: Love and nostalgia will have great influence on you this month, and there are a couple songs that defy the passage of time. Carole King is as classic as they come, and her song “So Far Away” is one you need to know. Then, “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face” by Roberta Flack is nostalgia incarnate. Alternatively, “Operator (That’s Not The Way It Feels)” by Jim Croce has the same effect. But if oldies aren’t your thing, then at least try incorporating classic-sounding vocals into your routine with modern songsters like Shannon Shaw of Shannon and the Clams, Angel Olsen, or Margaret Glaspy.
