January 2012 for Cancer


Happy New Year dear Cancer!
The world will not end in 2012! Please read the forecast for 2012 to better understand this much expected and feared year.

The year of 2012 will be ruled by the moon, in the sign of Aries, the fist sign of the zodiac, indicating that it is going to be a year of major decisions, with the focus on independence, innovations but also a sense of impatience and a need to start over.

As you know the moon rules Cancer so a year ruled by the moon means a great emphasis is put upon Cancer. You feel over stimulated because the Moon will be in Aries creating conflicts and arguments dear Cancer which could affect your nervous system. But you can minimize this energy not only by being direct and objective, but also by being compassionate with the ones you love.

With a year ruled by the moon, we tend to be more sensitive and emotional; family issues will be predominant, along with an urge to review the past and build a new future based on new ideas and new mottos.

A tongue–sharpening transit between Mercury and Mars opens the year of 2012, which spur arguments and excessive massive media communication. We say it as it is. New Year’s Eve celebration will be restless and people will be impatient.

Until the 23rd none of the planets will be retrograding, making this the best time to start anything in our lives; whatever we start is guaranteed to grow fast and in the right direction. Start a new project during this time and you will be surprised at how fast it will develop.
The first planet to retrograde in 2012 is Mars in the sign of Virgo until April 10th, making this period to be slow on decision-making; as a result we will momentarily experience a lack of enthusiasm.

The 2nd would be a great day to plant a seed and let it grow slowly and steadily. The moon is in Taurus and makes a beautiful aspect with the promoter of abundance, Jupiter.

On January 8th, Mercury moves to Capricorn, and we are more focused and practical with our thinking. We are thinking seriously about the issues related to media, communication and travel. Mercury travels through Capricorn until January 27th.
Mercury will travel you area of relationships creating plenty of interaction and communication between you and your partner. It’s a great time to persist and talk about relationship issues; just remember to keep the conversation at a balanced level of dialogue, and not a monologue. Listen and don’t take your partner’s complaints personally. Think of togetherness and complicity; it doesn’t matter who wins the argument because the mutual interest is to be happy and in peace.

The first full moon of the year, is 18º Cancer with the Sun in Capricorn, on the 9th, at 3:30 Am (Eastern Time) motivating us to balance our inner needs with the external duties and obligations. This opposition, Cancer /Capricorn represents the mother and the father; caring and emotional needs versus responsibilities and focus on work.

Again Cancer is in the spot light, the first full moon of 2012 is in your sign, which is an indication that you are up to concluding and finishing some important projects or tasks. It’s going to be a fun and romantic day, but you have to control your excessive sensibility or you can bore your friends and family.
The moon is in dynamic aspect with Mars indication the urge to finish the tasks we have initiated before.
This is a good day to reformulate our ideas and concepts of reality.

This aspect of Moon and Mars will gives you energy and enthusiasm to go ahead with your projects. Nothing will hold you back dear Cancer. You could meet someone during this full moon and start a hot and interesting romance.
If you are attached you can have a passionate night with your dearest one.

Venus is moving to the sensitive sign of Pisces right after a conjunction with Neptune (the ruler of Pisces) on January 14th. People will be concern with charity, generosity and peace. This is an excellent day to meditate, to spend a romantic night with the one we love and to help a charitable foundation.
We may hear about some noble gesture or a peaceful act somewhere on our planet.
Venus remains in Pisces until February 8th.

This will be a great time to travel to places where you can rest, socialize, make new friends and if you are single, meet a new romantic partner. Actually, even if you don’t travel you might meet a foreigner, and there is a great chance this can become a very meaningful relationship.

On the 20th Venus is making a beautiful and intense aspect with Pluto in our area of relationships, accentuating your feelings for someone you love. Single Cancer, today you can attract someone who will wake deep feelings up and who could flip your life up side down, but I guarantee you, you will love it dear Cancer.

The Sun enters Aquarius, the sign of humanity, fraternity and futuristic matters on January 22nd.
Your focus now goes to your finances. This is a good moment to establish a budget for the year or to organize your investments. But be careful with authorities from the IRS if you are not paying your taxes; you could get in trouble.

There’s a New Moon at 02º Aquarius on the 23rd at 3:40 AM (Eastern Time) representing a need for freedom. This new moon, amplifies the urge for equality on social and economic levels.
Mercury is trinning Mars during this new moon, turning our focus to communication and transport and travel.
We feel free to show our opinion today with grace and objectivity.

At this new moon, you or your partner may hear about a very profitable deal that can benefit both of you.
This is a great moment to start anything up in your life, or to end something that is not for you anymore dear Cancer.
Some of you may be surprised by the extra money you have in your bank account.

Today Mars also start its retrograde period, which happens every two years in the sign of Virgo until April 13th. Mars will be in Virgo most of the year of 2012, instead of its normal two months sojourns, giving us extra time to figure out and fix what’s not working in our lives. It’s a good time to resolve self-esteem problems and to eliminate martyrdom and passive-aggressive behavior.

Until June, dear Cancer you have to be aware of conflicts with relatives, your siblings, cousins or your neighbors. So treat your relatives carefully to avoid conflicts. You may feel an inner restlessness and a strong urge to keep moving and verbalizing your points of view. But remember, an opinion that differs from yours is not necessarily wrong; and you shouldn’t have to take it personally.
Use this time to re-evaluate your relationships with cousins and siblings; spend some time with them and try to reconnect.

We are impelled to analyze, criticize and improve things in our lives. If you have any big project to start this year, skip the period Mars is retrograding and analyze your project in detail before you launched after April 13th.
During this first new moon of 2012, dream the impossible dream, take a quantum leap and let the magic of the universe manifest in your life.

Mercury enters the sign of Aquarius on the 27th, turning our mindset to fraternal issues and new ways of thinking.
Mercury is spending some time in your area of career and some of you may find a new career interest.There will be more concentration and focus and you will be able to do mosre tasks at one then in other times.

Don’t forget to read the forecasting for 2012 in order to understand this so important year in your life. What is happening below is a reflection of what happens above.
Astrology is not a predictive practice, at least not in my point of view, but a way of being informed and aware of the vibrations that will be upon us and allowing us to change consciously according to that time frame.
We always have the free will to adjust things to our benefit when we are aware of them.
It’s simple: take an umbrella if the forecast announces it is going to rain!
Have a beautiful month!
