Cancer yearly horoscope

The year's main story

2026 is the year you learn what you are actually capable of when you stop performing for the room. The sky is staging a long, slow reckoning between who you have been trained to appear as and who you are in fact becoming, and by December you will have felt the difference in your body. The immediate cause is a series of eclipses and slow-planet stations that are reshaping the boundary between your public life and your private one, but the deeper story is Saturn and Neptune entering your house of career and public reputation in February, a major shift that has not occurred in more than a decade. What happens now is a renovation. You are being asked, in the steadiest terms the sky knows how to ask, to stop performing versions of yourself that never quite fit and to claim the competence and the voice that were always underneath.

That reckoning will touch almost every area of your life, but it lands heaviest where it matters most: in how you move through the world, in what you actually believe, in how you relate to people who matter to you, and in how you understand your own worth. Jupiter, your traditional ruler, is stationing direct in your own sign in March, which means the expansion and permission you have been waiting for arrives, but only to the degree that you stop asking for it from outside and start claiming it from within. Throughout the spring and summer, you will find that your usual strategies for managing other people's expectations begin to fail you, and that failure is the whole point. By autumn, when Venus and Mercury turn retrograde within a week of each other, you will be looking back at choices you made in the summer and asking yourself whether you made them because they were right or because they were safe. The answer will tell you something true.

The year divides into three clear movements. The first quarter, through March, is setup and turning points: Mercury and Mars enter your house of intimacy and shared resources in January, bringing conversations and commitments that feel both intimate and challenging; the annular eclipse in February falls squarely on that axis, marking something that has to shift in how you hold power in close relationships; and Jupiter stations direct in your sign on March 11, a permission slip you have been holding since late 2024, finally ready to spend. The second quarter, April through June, is when the work begins. You move through a series of New Moons that fall in your career house and your house of friendship and long-term aims, and the pace of external change picks up; your own charts turn inward in late June when Mercury goes retrograde in your sign, asking you to reconsider what you have committed to and what you are moving toward. The third quarter is when you begin to understand the cost of whatever you have built, and the fourth quarter asks you to consolidate and accept what you have actually chosen.

This is a year of learning what your actual preferences are when you stop listening to the inherited voices in your head, and that learning happens not through epiphany but through discomfort. Pluto in your house of intimacy and shared money will spend the year moving in and out of retrograde, asking you to examine what power imbalances you have been overlooking and what you actually deserve from the people closest to you. Neptune and Saturn in your career house will give you a clearer, colder vision of what your work actually is and what you actually want from it, and that clarity will sometimes feel like freedom and sometimes like grief. The eclipses will hit twice: once in February, when something about a partnership or a financial entanglement has to shift; and again in August, when you confront what you actually believe you are worth.

What you need to know going in: you have already spent the last two years in a slow rebuild. Jupiter has been in your sign since late 2024, and even though it is still there through June, it is already shifting. The permission you felt in 2024 and 2025 was real, but it was also provisional, given to you to learn what permission feels like so you can start granting it to yourself. By the time Jupiter enters Leo in your house of money and self-worth in late June, you will have discovered that the expansion you were waiting for was never really about circumstances changing; it was about you changing how you measure yourself. That discovery will make the second half of 2026 feel like a different year entirely.

Come in knowing this: you will be asked to say no more than you have in years. You will be asked to stop explaining yourself when you do. You will be asked to let people misunderstand you if that is the cost of being honest. And in each case, you will find that the sky does not punish you for it. Instead, the people who stay are the people who actually see you, and the ones who leave are the ones who were never going to anyway. The year is a story of clarity. The year is long enough to absorb the shock of that clarity and still have time to build something real on top of it.

First quarter

January opens with the ground already shifting beneath you. Mercury enters your house of intimacy and close dealings on January 1st, bringing a turn toward serious conversation in partnerships and commitments, the kind where things that have been understood implicitly suddenly need to be said out loud. This is the same day the Moon is full in your own sign, a moment of visibility and exposure that many of you will feel as a relief and some as an unwelcome spotlight. The New Moon a few weeks later, on January 18th, falls in Capricorn in that same house of partnerships, and the message is unmistakable: something is being opened for negotiation now that has perhaps been assumed closed, or something new is being opened entirely. If you are partnered, this is when the conversation that needs to happen becomes unavoidable. If you are single, this is when you realize you have been waiting for permission to want something, and something in the outer world is suddenly making it possible to ask.

Venus and then Mars follow Mercury into this house of intimacy in rapid succession, Venus on January 17th and Mars on January 23rd. This is a powerful concentration of energy on the question of what you actually want from the people closest to you and what you are actually willing to offer. The usual dynamic shifts. If you have been the one who always adjusts, always translates, always makes it work, you will find that adjustment starting to feel like a cost rather than a gift. If you have been the one who takes without asking, you may find that what you can take freely is smaller now. The annular eclipse on February 17th in this same house is the punctuation mark: something about the way power operates between you and someone else has to change. This is practical. A conversation gets real. A boundary gets named. An expectation gets revised. Sometimes a relationship ends, not violently but clearly, because one person or both have finally admitted what was true all along.

At the same time, Saturn and Neptune are both turning toward your house of career and public reputation. Saturn enters Aries on February 14th, and this is the big slow-planet shift of the year. Saturn has not been in your career house since 2013, so this is a generational moment. Neptune follows ten days later on January 26th, beginning a fourteen-year stay in your house of work, belief, and public knowing. Together, these two are going to clarify what your actual work is and what you actually want to be known for. Saturn in Aries brings structure and severity to your career and reputation; it asks what you are willing to stand up for publicly, what you are willing to be wrong about, what you are willing to defend when no one is watching. Neptune in Aries brings confusion and idealism; it is the planet of dreams and dissolution, and in your career house it asks you to examine what you have been told you should want versus what you actually want. For the next two years these two planets are going to be in conversation, and that conversation will shape what kind of work feels worth doing.

The first manifestation of this shift is immediate and internal. In early March, Jupiter stations direct in your own sign on the 11th, a major turning point. Jupiter has been retrograde since mid-2024, giving and then seeming to take away permission, expansion, forward movement. When it stations direct, something you have been waiting to begin can finally begin. This is a permission slip you have been holding, now ready to be spent. Many of you will feel a shift in confidence around this date, a sense that something you have been hesitant about is suddenly possible. But that permission is not about external change; it is about you deciding to stop waiting for someone else to decide you are worthy. The rest of the year will test whether you really mean it.

Mercury, which has been in your intimacy house since January, now turns retrograde on February 26th in your house of belief, travel, and expanded thinking. This is a shift in conversation. The intense close dialogue of January and February begins to cool into reflection. You might withdraw into your own thinking. You might need to revisit something you thought was settled. You might find that a conversation you thought was complete needs another pass. This retrograde lasts until March 20th, so the first three weeks of spring are introspective. By the time Mercury stations direct, the intensity of the January/February cycle will have eased somewhat, and you will have had time to think about what you actually want versus what you were operating on momentum or habit or old agreements.

The second half of spring is a window of unusual clarity about what you want. The Sun moves into Aries and then Taurus through March and April, lighting up your career house and your house of friendship and long-term direction. New Moons fall in both of these houses: one in Pisces on March 19th, landing in your house of belief and widened perspective; and one in Aries on April 17th, landing squarely in your career house. These are points of new beginning, places where you can choose differently than before. For many of you, this will mean a shift in work direction, a choice to pursue something you had not seriously considered, or a realization that your current path does not align with what you actually believe. For others, it will be subtler: a change in how you show up at work, a willingness to be more visible or more honest, a decision to stop performing a character and start operating as yourself.

Venus moves through Pisces in February and March, sitting in your house of belief and expanded vision, asking what kind of relating you actually believe in. In early March, it enters Aries, your career house, where it will amplify your visibility and your appeal. This is not a time to be invisible. If you want to be noticed, noticed you will be. If you have been hesitating to ask for something you deserve, the astrology is supporting you in asking. By late March, Venus enters Taurus in your house of friendship and group affiliation, where it will spend the spring drawing people toward you and asking you what kind of community you actually want to be part of. This is the beginning of a shedding of friendships that no longer serve and a drawing toward people and groups that align with who you are actually becoming.

By the end of the first quarter, the pace has shifted from the intensity of January and February into something slower and more deliberate. You have had the major conversations. You have felt the pull toward your own ambitions. You have begun to understand that the permission you are waiting for is not something anyone is going to hand you. What remains is to begin the work of claiming it, and that work begins in April.

Second quarter

April brings what feels like a shift to forward momentum after the reflection of late winter and early spring. The New Moon on April 17th lands in your career house, and this is a point where you can make a significant choice about work direction or visibility. Some of you will change jobs in this window. Others will simply claim a different way of working, a refusal to operate the way you have been operating, a shift toward what is honest instead of what is expected. The eclipses have settled, the retrogrades have cleared, and for a brief window you have clear sight lines. This is the time to move.

Venus enters Gemini on April 24th, moving into your house of rest, retreat, and what is quietly finishing. This is a signal that something is coming to an end in the love or friendship realm, or that something about how you have been relating needs to shift into a more private or internal mode. If you have been visible in your affections, you might become more guarded. If you have been seeking external validation, you might turn inward. This is reorientation. You are beginning to understand that you do not need to earn approval by being available, by being easy, by translating yourself for other people's comfort. That understanding will deepen through the spring and summer.

Uranus enters Gemini on April 26th, another major slow-planet ingress. Uranus in your house of friendship and long-term aims is going to spend the next seven years reshaping what kind of community you belong to and what you are actually aiming at. This is not a small thing. Uranus is the planet of disruption and awakening, and in your house of groups and long-term direction it is asking you to examine whether you are actually aiming at what you want or what you inherited. Many of you will find that the groups you have belonged to are no longer a fit, or that the goals you were working toward were never yours to begin with. This is the beginning of that shedding. The work of Uranus is gradual; you will spend the next few years slowly extricating yourself from situations and circles that no longer serve you, and slowly finding your way toward people and aims that actually reflect who you are.

May brings the Taurus New Moon on May 16th, falling in your house of friendship and long-term direction. This is a moment where you can choose differently about the circles you move in and the people you allow close. For some of you, this might mean finally leaving a group or friendship that has been draining you. For others, it might mean saying yes to a community or a collaborative aim that feels genuinely aligned. The astrology is supporting you in following actual affinity rather than obligation.

Mars moves through Gemini starting May 18th, landing in your house of rest and retreat. Mars is the planet of drive and assertion, and in your house of hidden things and what is finishing, it is asking you to push what needs to end toward closure. If you have been leaving something unfinished because it felt too hard to face, this transit will drive you toward completion. If you have been avoiding a conversation or an ending, Mars will force your hand. This is clear. By the time Mars moves out of this house in late June, something that has been hanging will be resolved.

Venus moves into Cancer on May 19th, entering your own sign. This is a moment of genuine personal power. Venus in your sign brings ease, charm, and a quality of being looked at favorably. This is not a time to hide. If you want to be seen, you are visible. If you want to be pursued, you are pursued. This transit lasts only a few weeks, but while it is here, lean into it. Say yes to invitations. Let yourself be wanted. This is a counterpoint to the Venus in Gemini transit that came just before; it is a moment where you are allowed to be the center of attention, to take up space, to ask for what you want without apologizing for it.

Sun enters Cancer on June 21st, your birthday month and the beginning of your solar return cycle. This is a moment of renewal and fresh beginning. Some of you will feel a shift in energy, a sense of new possibility, a readiness to move into the next iteration of your life. The New Moon on June 15th, just before the Sun enters your sign, falls in Gemini in your house of rest and retreat, suggesting that something quiet finishes just as something bright begins. You are emerging from one cycle into another. The work of late winter and spring has cleared ground; now you begin to plant what you actually want to grow.

Mercury enters your own sign on June 1st, a few weeks before your birthday, and this is when your thinking becomes clearer and more direct. You are no longer in the reflective mode of early spring; you are in a mode of clarity about who you are and what you actually want. But Mercury will retrograde in your sign on June 29th, just after the Sun enters it, and this is when you are asked to slow down and reconsider. The Full Moon in Capricorn on June 29th, the same day Mercury stations retrograde, is a culmination point in the house of partnerships and close dealings. Something that began in January comes to a head. A relationship reaches a turning point. A commitment either clarifies or ends. This is necessary. By July, when Mercury stations direct, you will have had time to think about what you actually want from partnerships and what you are actually willing to offer.

The second quarter ends in a state of transition. The first half of the year has brought major slow-planet ingresses, eclipses that have forced clarity in relationships and money, and a series of turning points that have asked you to choose differently. You have been pushed toward your own ambitions and away from inherited goals. You have been asked to examine what is actually yours to want and what you were performing because it was expected. The second half of the year will ask you to consolidate these choices and live with the consequences of them.

Third quarter

July opens with Jupiter entering Leo on June 30th, moving into your house of money and self-worth. This is a major shift. Jupiter has been in your own sign since late 2024, giving you permission and expansion in your own body and presence. Now that permission moves into the realm of your actual material worth and your sense of your own value. This is an opening toward earning and wanting more, and toward believing that you deserve it. For many of you, this will manifest as an opportunity to ask for a raise, to pursue work that pays better, or to finally believe that your skills are worth real money. This is a long transit that will continue through much of 2027, so the expansion in this realm is a reorientation toward your own worth.

But the summer also brings challenge. Neptune stations retrograde in your career house on July 7th, and Saturn stations retrograde in your career house on July 26th. These two retrogrades are asking you to reconsider what you have built in the professional realm and what you actually want to be known for. Neptune retrograde can bring clarity about what you have been confused about, but it can also bring disillusionment. You might realize that a path you were pursuing was never actually aligned with what you believe. You might confront the gap between who you are and who you have been performing as in your professional life. Saturn retrograde asks what structures you have put in place and whether they actually serve you. Many of you will find that the work you have been doing, the way you have been working, the relationships you have maintained for professional reasons, all come under examination. This is not a time to make major moves; it is a time to think about what you are building and whether it is actually what you want.

The Full Moon in Aquarius on July 29th lands in your house of intimacy and shared resources. This is another culmination point around the themes that began in January and February. Something about power or money in a close relationship reaches a peak. You might have a difficult conversation. You might confront something you have been avoiding. You might finally claim something you have been too timid to ask for. The eclipse axis that was activated in February is completing its arc now, and you will have more clarity about what actually shifted in the partnership realm.

August brings the solar eclipse in Leo on August 12th, the second major eclipse of the year, and this one lands in your house of money and self-worth. This is a turning point in how you value yourself and what you believe you deserve. Some of you will receive an offer or an opportunity that forces you to decide what you actually think you are worth. Others will confront the ways you have been undercharging, underasking, undervaluing. This eclipse is likely to activate something you have been avoiding: the truth about what you deserve and what you have been settling for. By the end of August, when the lunar eclipse in Pisces activates your house of belief and expanded vision, you will have a clearer picture of what you actually want to believe and what is worth your time.

Venus enters Libra on August 6th, moving into your house of home and family. This is when relationships within the family become more prominent, or when you begin to think seriously about home and domestic life. If you have been considering a move or a renovation, this is when that impulse strengthens. If you have been navigating family relationships that are complicated, this is when you might find more ease or clarity in them. Venus here is inclined toward harmony, but also toward seeing things clearly. You are not going to tolerate dysfunction in your home the way you might have before. You are going to want beauty and grace in your domestic life, and you are going to be willing to make changes to get it.

Mercury enters Leo on August 9th, moving into your house of money and self-worth, and this is when you start to think and speak more clearly about money. Conversations about your earnings, your worth, your financial situation become possible. You might ask for something you have been hesitant about. You might finally tell the truth about what you need. This clarity will be useful to you through the rest of the year. Mars enters your own sign on August 11th, and this is a moment of unusual personal power and drive. Mars in your sign brings confidence, assertion, and a willingness to move toward what you want without apology. This is the time to be visible, to ask for what you want, to make things happen. Use this transit well; it will not last long, but while it is here, you can move mountains.

The third quarter ends in a state of integration. You have had the major eclipses. You have confronted the areas where you have been undervaluing yourself. You have begun to understand what you actually want and what you are actually willing to offer. The retrogrades of Saturn and Neptune have asked you to think clearly about your work and your professional direction. The rest of the year will ask you to consolidate these understandings and prepare for the next phase.

Fourth quarter

October brings a major shift when Venus stations retrograde in Scorpio on October 3rd, landing in your house of romance, play, and creative work. This is when you are asked to reconsider what brings you joy and what you have been doing for the pleasure of it. If you have been pursuing something because it seemed like what you should want, this retrograde will ask you to examine whether it is actually what you want. If you have been in a creative partnership or a romantic situation, this retrograde might ask you to slow down and think about whether it is serving you. The retrograde lasts until November 14th, so the entire autumn is colored by this questioning of pleasure and desire.

Mercury stations retrograde in Scorpio on October 24th, the same house as Venus, deepening the questioning. These two retrogrades, happening so close together, are asking you to examine what you have been committing to in the realm of romance and creativity and play. Conversations might happen. Realizations might surface. Decisions might shift. By the time both planets station direct in November, you will have had time to think about what you actually want in the realm of pleasure and desire, and you might find that your choices shift.

Meanwhile, Pluto stations direct in Aquarius on October 16th, your house of intimacy and shared resources. This is the end of a retrograde cycle that has been asking you to examine power imbalances and what you deserve in close relationships. As Pluto stations direct, things that have been stuck in this realm can move again. A relationship can shift. A financial entanglement can resolve. Something that has felt frozen can begin to thaw. This is not a guarantee of easy resolution; Pluto is never easy. But it is a turning point after months of internal work.

Saturn stations direct in Aries on December 10th, your career house, ending its retrograde cycle. This is a moment when the clarity you have been seeking about your professional direction becomes more solidified. What you have been thinking about through the summer and autumn now becomes something you can move on. If you have been considering a change, this is when you can begin to make it. If you have been building something, this is when it solidifies. Neptune stations direct in Aries on December 12th, the same day, and this brings additional clarity to your vision of your professional future and what you want to be known for.

The Full Moon in Gemini on November 24th, landing in your house of rest and retreat, brings closure to something that has been quietly finishing all year. A cycle ends. Something that you have been processing internally reaches completion. This is a private, gentle kind of ending, but it is an ending nonetheless. You are clearing ground for what comes next.

The year ends with a Full Moon in Cancer on December 24th, your own sign, a moment of visibility and culmination. This is your birthday lunation, and it asks you to see clearly who you have become through the course of the year. You are not the same person who entered January. The work of the year has changed you: you have examined your partnerships, you have questioned your professional direction, you have confronted what you actually deserve, you have begun to claim your own voice. This Full Moon is a moment to acknowledge that change and to prepare for the next cycle.

Long-term themes

The dominant story of 2026 is the entrance of Saturn and Neptune into your house of career and public reputation, a major shift that has not occurred since 2013. Saturn entered this house on February 14th and will remain there through early 2028; Neptune entered on January 26th and will remain there for fourteen years. Together, these two slow planets are reshaping what kind of work feels worth doing and what you want to be known for. Saturn is the planet of structure and limitation; it asks what you are willing to stand for publicly, what you are willing to defend, what you are willing to build over time. Neptune is the planet of dissolution and idealism; it asks what you have been confused about, what you want to believe in, what is worth your devotion. This combination is a renovation. You are being asked to examine what you have been performing as and to begin claiming what is authentic instead.

The eclipses of 2026 fall in two distinct areas: the annular eclipse in Aquarius on February 17th lands in your house of intimacy and shared resources, asking what about power and partnership has to shift. The total solar eclipse in Leo on August 12th lands in your house of money and self-worth, asking what you actually believe you deserve. These two eclipse points form an axis that will be active for the next two years. What the February eclipse opens, the August eclipse completes. Together they are asking you to examine both what you give to others and what you claim for yourself, both what power you hold in relationships and what value you place on yourself. This is a year of seeing clearly what has been there all along and deciding what you actually want to do about it.

Jupiter stations direct in your own sign on March 11th, ending a retrograde cycle that began in mid-2024. This is a permission slip you have been holding, now ready to spend. Jupiter gives and the retrograde seemed to take away; now it gives again. This is a moment when you can stop waiting for permission and start claiming it from within. Jupiter will remain in your sign until late June, at which point it enters Leo and begins an eighteen-month cycle in your house of money and self-worth. This long transit will gradually shift how you value yourself and what you believe you deserve. Earnings are likely to increase, not from lucky windfall but from your own willingness to claim your worth and ask for it.

Uranus enters Gemini on April 26th, your house of friendship and long-term aims, beginning a seven-year cycle of disruption and reorientation in this realm. Uranus is the planet of awakening and revolution, and in your house of groups and goals it is asking you to examine whether you are actually aiming at what you want or what you inherited. This is the year when that examination begins. Many of you will find that the groups you have belonged to are no longer a fit. The goals you were pursuing might reveal themselves as not actually yours. The friendships you have maintained might show their true colors. This is the year when the questions begin, and the answers will unfold over the next seven years.

Pluto in Aquarius continues its work in your house of intimacy and shared resources throughout 2026, spending the year moving in and out of retrograde. Pluto is asking you to examine what power imbalances you have been overlooking and what you actually deserve from the people closest to you. This is a long-term transit; Pluto will be in your house of intimacy through 2043. But this year is when the major questions begin to surface. You might find yourself confronting truths about what you give and what you receive, about what you tolerate and what you deserve. These are uncomfortable questions, but they are necessary ones. By the end of the year, you will have more clarity about what you actually want from the people closest to you.

Mercury and Venus both turn retrograde in the latter half of the year, Venus in Scorpio (your house of romance and creative work) beginning October 3rd, and Mercury in Scorpio beginning October 24th. These two retrogrades are asking you to reconsider what brings you joy and what you have been committing to in the realm of pleasure and desire. Conversations might happen. Realizations might surface. Decisions might shift. This is not a time for major new commitments in the creative or romantic realm; it is a time for reflection and reconsideration. By November, when both planets station direct, you will have more clarity about what you actually want.

Chiron spends the year moving between retrograde and direct in your house of career and reputation. This is asking you to examine the discomfort you carry around your own visibility and authority, the ways you might have learned to be small or apologetic about your gifts. This is slow, internal work, but it is important work. By the end of the year, you will have begun to understand what made you doubt your own competence, and you will be ready to rebuild a different relationship with your own authority and presence.

Neptune spends the entire year stationed in Aries, your career house, and this is asking you to examine what you have been confused about in your professional life. Neptune dissolves and reveals; it asks you to look clearly at what you have been avoiding seeing. Is your work aligned with what you actually believe? Are you performing a professional identity that has nothing to do with who you actually are? What would happen if you stopped trying to be what you thought you should be and started being what is true? These questions will occupy you throughout the year, and the answers will shape the directions you take in the years to come.

Summary

2026 is the year you stop performing versions of yourself that never quite fit and you begin to claim the competence and the voice that were always underneath. The major turning points are the slow-planet ingresses of Saturn and Neptune into your career house in February, the Eclipse in your house of partnerships on February 17th, Jupiter stationing direct in your sign on March 11th, the shift of Jupiter into your money house on June 30th, the Eclipse in your house of self-worth on August 12th, and the double retrograde of Venus and Mercury in autumn asking you to reconsider what brings you joy.

The first quarter, through March, is setup and turning points. Mercury and Mars concentrate in your house of intimacy, bringing conversations and commitments that feel both intimate and challenging. The annular eclipse on February 17th marks something that has to shift in how you hold power in close relationships. Jupiter stations direct in your sign on March 11th, a permission slip you have been holding, finally ready to spend. By late March, you will have had the major conversations and begun to understand that the expansion you were waiting for is not something anyone else will hand you.

The second quarter, April through June, is when the work begins. You move through a series of New Moons in your career house and your house of friendship and long-term direction. The pace of external change picks up. Your own charts turn inward in late June when Mercury goes retrograde in your sign, asking you to reconsider what you have committed to. The Full Moon in Capricorn on June 29th is a culmination point in partnerships; something that began in January comes to a head.

The third quarter, July through September, is when you begin to understand the cost of whatever you have built. Jupiter enters Leo on June 30th, moving into your house of money and self-worth, and this is when your sense of your own value begins to shift. But Saturn and Neptune are both retrograde in your career house, asking you to reconsider what you have built professionally and whether it is actually what you want. The solar eclipse in Leo on August 12th is a turning point in how you value yourself. By the end of the quarter, you have had major eclipses in both the partnership realm and the self-worth realm.

The fourth quarter, October through December, asks you to consolidate and accept what you have actually chosen. Venus and Mercury both turn retrograde in Scorpio, your house of romance and creative work, asking you to reconsider what brings you joy. Pluto, Saturn, and Neptune all station direct by mid-December, signaling that the major questioning and shifting of the year is complete. The year ends with a Full Moon in Cancer on December 24th, a moment of visibility and culmination, asking you to see clearly who you have become.

The strongest windows for action are: mid-February through early March, when Saturn and Neptune ingress and the eclipse clarifies what is shifting in partnerships; mid-March, when Jupiter stations direct and you can begin to claim permission from within; mid-April through May, when the New Moons in your career house and friendship house ask you to choose differently; late June and July, when you move into your birthday month and begin your next cycle; and late August through September, when the eclipse in your self-worth house crystallizes what you actually believe you deserve. The year is long enough to absorb the shock of the major changes and still have time to build something real on top of them by December.
