CANCER

If it doesn’t challenge you, it won’t change you

You are stronger than you think

It’s your boldest new beginning yet!

Look closely at what you take on, Cancer. Watch for burn-out that snuffs out your usual festive glow. Above all, don’t be afraid to delegate or ask for help. Or to simply say no. Do allow others the opportunity to prove how capable they can be with the new Moon in your 6^th. Yes, they may do things differently. But you need to look at the result and not the method.

Also understand no matter how connected you may be – nobody’s a mind reader. You can also come across as so capable others think you have it all under control. Even as you buckle under that crushing weight! Whatever you do, don’t continue to soldier on doing more than your fair share. And seething with hurt and resentment as you do. Yes, the fact something needs doing may be obvious to you. But not to the other party. Deliver the heads-up you need help before you blow up in other words!

You are adjusting to two big energy changes right now. One is long term – Pluto in your 8^th. The other may be shorter, but its also impactful. And that’s Mars retrograde in your 2^nd (from the 6^th). And now heading back your way. But along with this comes the promise of the new. And December is the month when the universe opens a cosmic portal of potential for you. Handing you unprecedented manifestation potential. And the final release and closure of an old cycle. Yes, baby – it’s Black Moon month as well as your yearly partnership peak.

If it doesn’t challenge you – it won’t change you. You need to be willing to push those boundaries during this Mars retro/Pluto in your 8^th combo. And not just around those challenges or issues that you’d normally try to avoid. But also around what you desire to improve, have or do in your life. And to know that manifesting those goals always goes hand in hand with change. So, see leaning in to challenging yourself as strength training for embracing your desires.

The truth around this reawakens this December. December’s two new Moons act like parenthesis around the month. The first appears in your 6^th (1^st). And the second in your 7^th on the 30^th. Mercury retro in your 6^th has had you dealing with those pesky stuck tasks and that dull routine. As it heads forward from the 15^th (the day of the full Moon in your 12^th), this marks your point of release into powerful potentials.

Take care of anything that arises from the past with the first new moon. Any outstanding business or anything unfinished. Heed your intuition if it is directing your focus on to a specific area. Especially if this has been hanging around since October. Make a vow to yourself to no longer allow this continue if so.

The second week of the month hands you powerful solutions to fix any highlighted area – especially if this involves a deep issue or an intimate relationship. As the energy builds towards the full Moon on the 15^th, you’ll feel the pressure to bring something to completion or out into the open. But don’t wait for that day to begin to tackle this. Venus enters your 8^th on the 7^th and meets Pluto the same day. Ceres follows and co-joins with Pluto on the 9^th.

Keep in mind throughout this month and when looking to initiate changes (or stick for now as in some cases), Pluto rules love, attraction, fun and pleasure for you (who knew, right?!). While Mars rules all of the above – plus your career. So, use the Mars retro energy to redefine your path and reboot those personal and professional ambitions. And use the Venus/Pluto and Ceres/Pluto fusions to bring about changes which hand you joy, desire and pleasure. Remember, Ceres rules the art of the deal and is in your house of personal power. Be fearless and unafraid. Especially when it comes to crafting a solution which hands you what you want.

The full Moon (15th) is like an angel’s whisper. Or allows you to gain the insight that’s been missing for you to gain the answers or perspective you’ve needed. This is also the day Mercury heads direct once again. Mercury rules your 12^th, where the full Moon takes place. So, take it those insights you receive are heaven-sent. Or anything that emerges from the past has a karmic date stamp on it.

Saturn tests your resolve. But also tells you that you have the strength to finish up something. Or take a stand over your needs. Embrace your spiritual strengths now. Yes, this may see you working on something buried deep in your inner subconscious. Or on the down-low, behind the scenes. But take it that you are about to emerge back into the light once the Sun arrives in your 7^th (21^st).

This brings you your yearly partnership peak. With a difference. And that is because this is the first time since 2008 it occurs free of Pluto’s influence. You also enter it with a fresh appreciation for those unions which have gone the distance with you during this cycle. And a new understanding of what you want when it comes to any kind of double act. It should be all dynamic and no more dilemma, Cancer.

A ‘Black’ Moon occurs when we have two new moons appearing either in a single solar cycle or within a given month. As new Moons are all about fresh starts and new beginnings, when this happens we have double the potential to renew our path. And draw new opportunities, solutions and love our way. Our goals and dreams get a double infusion of magic and intention.

Your third eye chakra is wide open on the day this appears (30^th). You radiate clean, open and powerful intent when it comes to attraction and your future. If you want to boost the energy of this Moon – then do wear either black or indigo. You are at your most receptive to others. But also looking ahead to 2025. A year which will see Jupiter, planet of expansion and opportunity, land in your sign for the first time in 12 years. Decide what (or who), you want to draw to you. And also what direction you want a relationship to flow in.

New connections can be made in business in the upcoming month. And who you meet has its own sense of destiny and right timing. Your clarity is enhanced from this month onwards. And take it that at some point in the coming year – love will come home to roost.

In a nutshell: December brings the start of your yearly partnership peak. But this one offers up new beginnings like no other. At the same time, lean in to changes that need to be made in existing unions. To ensure you are getting those needs met, Cancer.
