CANCER 22 JUN - 22 JULY

Cancer Year
2003 OVERVIEW:
As the year begins, it's a
great time to face obligations or consequences that you've been putting off.
This could be a time of growth if you approach it in the right mental state.
Further delay only buys trouble when Mercury retrogrades on January 18th and
the Sun enters Aquarius on the 21st. Now that your choice is made, work within
its limits. By mid-February, your mind clears and your resolve hardens. Music
and spiritual concerns motivate you. The final month of Winter puts you on
course with no visible obstacles between you and your destination.
But if you don't get there by the first day of Spring, expect a traffic jam of others putting their interests first. This isn't as bad as it sounds. Pluto begins a five-month retrograde, which is plenty of time to absorb recent gains and practice until perfect. Meanwhile, much of April is spent consoling the disappointed prima donnas that cry on your shoulder. Once everyone calms down, you can enjoy life. Favors and loans are repaid. The first half of May is one long party, but the next six weeks are stirred by cosmic events demanding careful attention and informed reactions.
You emerge from this volatile period as a truly wealthy person. The Sun comes to Cancer on June 22nd, throwing Earth's shadow across the Moon on the 24th. As a Water Sign, your physical and psychic currents are at high tide. For the next three months, let your senses and instincts lead the way. By the end of August, add your good judgment and acquired skills to this already potent mix. From your privileged position, you can see the writing on the wall when Jupiter opposes Neptune on September 11th. Know when and where to draw the line.
The carnival is over by the 22nd. The Libra Sun makes you unsure of yourself and dependent on others. Focus on your strengths, and encourage friends and mentors to guide you. Your sense of adventure returns in late October and early November as Neptune and Uranus go direct, improving your mood if not your circumstances. You're ready to make things happen again. By Thanksgiving, though, it's obviously an uphill battle. Let idealism sustain you for the rest of the year. Reality may catch up with you in late December, but if not, your dream will come true eventually.
