Cancer

cancer1Jessica’s horoscope: With November, we’re getting into holiday season, aka family season. The new moon on the 11th is happening in Cancer’s fifth house, which could make a person (maybe you?) so excited about something or someone that they accidentally ignore the people they love and who need their attention—yep, family! If you need to make peace or find a path to forgiveness, with others or with yourself, November 25 through December 1 is your window of opportunity. Neptune, Mercury, and the sun square, which will stimulate empathy without making you feel as soupy as usual. This is gonna be a rare moment when Cancer isn’t the mushiest sign in the room, which you can use to your advantage by resisting any pull to get caught up in other people’s feelings. (Mantra: “Me taking on your emotions is not me supporting you.”) Reach out to friends on the 24th, because of the Moon in Taurus in your 11th house trining Jupiter in the third. The 11th and third houses are both places of friendship—connect with the people you care about. The full moon in the 25th will make everything super sensi, so facilitate this emo energy to consciously drop habits regarding how you relate to yourself and others. I’m talking, of course, about bad habits. And kicking them to the curb, of course, will require you to be kind to yourself. With Saturn in your sixth house of work, service, health, and duties for the next few years, you may have the tendency to work really hard on yourself, and to be really hard on yourself. It’s OK to take it slow, Cancer! There’s nowhere you need to go that will be/feel better if you show up exhausted. Pace yourself, be kind to yourself—that’s the whole story.

Dylan’s advice: As Jessica points out, Saturn is moving through your sixth house, which might feel like Self Improvement Boot Camp. Building on what she said about dropping a bad habit during the 25th’s full moon, I’m going to challenge you to pick one habit and get as uncomfortable with it as you need to be to nix it. Cancers sometimes have a tendency to crawl back into their shells if they’re feeling awkward for any reason—resist! I know, kicking a bad habit suuuuuucccccks. I can’t tell you exactly how to do this, because everyone’s habits are acutely different, and each solution will be very personal. Focus on it. Obliterate it. Push it through the paper shredder. Put it in the past, by vigilantly attacking it near the end of this month. Whatever it is, you’re bigger than it.
