Cancer

cancer1Cancers want to feel safe and good in their homes, and during December, your focus is on home, family, and parents, and how to balance those scenarios with what’s happening at school, college, or work. An issue related to home, family, or housemates, which you have been working out over the past couple of months, is clarified and more in your face. Perhaps this is about relationships that feel like family, some sort of difficult commitment or partnership, or being able to define who family for yourself. This could always be about inner work, too—not just what’s happening on the outside. You might be wondering where to spend the holidays, who to spend them with, where you fit in, or even why you feel so much.

The new moon on December 11 in your 6th house, marks a time to commit to a regimen or schedule to help your health. The new moon has a serious tone to it, so this health issue could be difficult for you, and it needs your attention. Look to your everyday school or work environment. Maybe there are bits of your routine that feel burdensome? Use this time to be strategic about how you’re scheduling your days (the parts you can control), and how you’re planning out your homework, and to set intentions for you want to get done over the next couple of years. Think about 2016 for yourself: What do you want to accomplish?

Around December 18–20, something gets kicked up around intimate relationships or your partner(s) who might be going through something difficult, so you might find yourself as their comforter or helper. There might be a deep discussion that brings up something that you know you need to address. Having The Talk can be very healing. Try to be willing to have that chat, and to listen to your partner(s).

The full moon in Cancer is all you! It’s a huge, boisterously emotionally sensitive and healing full moon, so have at it. Be with the people you love, tell them you love them, do what you want to do in terms of creating an environment that feels connected and nourishing. As a Cancer or Cancer rising you are sensitive to your environment; make sure you’re surrounded by elements that make you feel nurtured. The love and security you crave has to come from you first. Remember, this is a full moon and emotions will run high. There are many ways to take care of ourselves, and we’re the ones who can give ourselves what we need.

Uranus is stationing direction the 26th in your 10th house of career, so there could be a change, or something stimulating could crop up that might help you get noticed, especially if you work online. I’d put something out that could go big around that time—Uranus rules technology and is acting like a boost in your 10th house.

Dylan’s advice: Talk to your roommate who leaves their dirty dishes behind. Bring up with your guardian why you need more privacy than they are used to giving you. Recharge your space with some crystals. Go advocate for the comfort you crave, and hit the reset button in your home life. Confrontations suck, for the most part, but not when done gently and constructively. Setting out a plan to deal with a domestic issue on that new moon can re-energize something you didn’t even realize was draining you. Don’t just tell your roommate to do his dishes, make a pact with him that every time he cooks, he has to wash his dishes before he leaves the kitchen, or else he owes you a meal. Instead of getting frustrated with a guardian for barging in your room constantly, let them know WHY it bugs you, a reason besides “it just does,” and ask them to knock or text to see if you’re available when they want you. If your home space feels stagnant, do a deep clean and ask for some crystals over the holidays, if you get gifts—crystals get cleansed by full moons, so their energy is new again, just in time!
