CANCER MONTHLY HOROSCOPE - GENERAL
January 2025

This is one year when first impressions are not so much wrong, for they will be accurate at the time, but they could soon change thanks to some significant shifts in the first 12 days of the month. First impressions suggest that this will be a big and busy year across the income, work and career fronts and things are definitely getting off to an empowered start. However, as if marshalling their resources to gain as much initial traction as possible, there will soon be a shift that will allow things to level off. The first shift happens on 6th January, when two months after returning for what should have been a six week visit to your income sector Mars will retrograde back out. Once back in direct motion, Mars will return again but not until April, by which point there will be some massive and major developments taking place on the career front. It is two days later that over two months after returning for what is normally a 14 to 15 day visit to your work sector, on 8th January Mercury will not only leave your work sector but leave it empty until later in the year. Four days later, after 18 months of guiding things forward and providing a sense of professional direction, the North Node will leave your career sector on 12th January. Within 12 days the forces that are getting the year off to such an empowered start across the income, work and career fronts, will have disbanded, giving you a chance to pull back but also for things to play out. This is also a chance to rest, with things firing up again when Neptune returns to your career sector in March. Meanwhile, Mars’ return to Cancer will see him form new alliances, namely with the asteroid Juno in a playful and creative part of your chart and Venus, who will return to your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery on 3rd January. As always, the Sun will spend the first three weeks of January in your relationship sector, before shifting the spotlight on your financial situation, money matters and the considerable support building there on 20th January.

CANCER MONTHLY HOROSCOPE - LOVE
January 2025

On both the romantic and relationship fronts, as you move into the New Year there is both stability and continuity, but also a sense of clarity and confidence. Because the Sun will always spend the last 10 days and the first three weeks of each year in your relationship sector, the solar spotlight is always on your relationships at this time of year. However, for the first time since 2008, you have moved into the New Year without Pluto, the planet of change and transformation and the constant need for change. While Pluto has come and gone several times over the last two years, his 16 year visit finally ended in November. By the time the Sun returned last month even Venus and the dwarf planet Ceres had left, though with your relationship wants, needs and priorities already banked. With so much water having already passed under the bridge, this was a chance for a fresh start and especially when a New Moon on New Year’s Eve brought a chance to draw a new line in the sand. The Moon will leave your relationship sector on New Year’s Eve, allowing you to begin the month emotionally and intuitively engaged and aware and ready for new beginnings. The Sun will be joined by Mercury, who moving through from 8th January to 28th January will do what as the planet of communication he does best. With the Sun leaving on 20th January, this means that when Mercury leaves, apart from the Moon’s monthly visits your relationship sector will remain empty for the rest of the year. The Moon will make the first of those visits from 27th January to 29th January. Meanwhile, you will also start the year with the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment in your romantic sector and with Venus, the planet of love returning to an adventurous part of your chart on 3rd January. The Moon will make its first visit to your romantic sector for the year from 22nd January to 24th January.

CANCER MONTHLY HOROSCOPE - MONEY
January 2025

As you move into 2025 there will be a lot of intensity on both sides of the financial fence, but by the end of the first week this will have dialled right back and especially in terms of any financial tension. Instead, there is a need to buckle up for a bit of turbulence as Mars, the planet of passion and the warrior planet of the cosmos spends his final days in your income sector clashed with Pluto, the planet of change, transformation and rebellion in your financial sector. As the planets of war and revolution go head to head, each are fighting to keep the focus on their side of the financial fence, but they are both flanked with the kind of support that can turn this into motivation. For Mars and the income side of the financial fence, this is coming from an empowered start to the year across the income, work and career fronts. Mars is part of a team that will get the year off to an empowered start and then disband, starting with his departure from your income sector on 6th January and then continuing with Mercury’s departure from your work sector on 8th January and the North Node’s from your career sector on 12th January. There are planets staying on that can keep the professional momentum going, but the urgency will drop back while by retrograding back out, Mars is able to put things on hold until returning in April, just as another professional surge is due. Meanwhile, having gotten your attention and with Mars gone, Pluto is going to change from being a tiger on the loose to being a kitten back in its cage. The planet of change and transformation is still here and will be until 2044 but playing a long game, he is not suited for the urgency at the start of the month, so will be happy to dial things back. With Venus, the planet of money leaving your financial sector on 3rd January and the Sun not returning until 20th January, this will allow the intensity at the start of the month to dial back. The Moon will make two visits to your financial sector this month, the first from 1st January to 4th January and then returning from 29th January to 31st January as a New Moon. A visit to your income sector from 14th January to 16th January could act as a trigger for some surprise leftovers from Mars’ time here.
