(June 22-July 22)

The year begins with a strong focus on relationships, and an inquiry into healthy separation between you and other people. You’re a natural caretaker, prone to dragging around other people’s emotional baggage. On New Year’s Eve, a lunar eclipse in Cancer delivered a wakeup call: you must sort out your own responsibilities from someone else’s. Cancer, you can’t save tortured souls, least of all from themselves. Nor is it anyone’s job to “save” you during needy, insecure moments.

Adding a little personal space does you well. Mercury is retrograde (backward) in Capricorn, your partnership sign, for the first half of January. Miscommunications run rampant, so take a step back and rethink your approach. If you react to every little fluctuation in others, you’re certain to drive yourself mad. On January 15th, a Capricorn solar eclipse opens a brand-new chapter for your relationships. Might as well clear out the cobwebs until then.

Your luckiest events this month will occur on a Saturday.
