Cancer Weekly Horoscope

WEEK OF December 12 – 1 8, 2022

Thanks to a tense square between the self-assured Sagittarius Sun and hazy Neptune on Wednesday, December 14, you may find yourself questioning some of your long-held values about work and service. El Sol is wrapping up its annual month-long tour of your hard-working, systematic sixth house, where duty reigns supreme. But Sagittarius energy, by nature, seeks freedom. And that urge may get intensified under this challenge from mystical Neptune in your ninth house of expansion, liberation and self-employment. Suddenly all those traditional beliefs about what you’re “supposed” to do are called into question. Not all Crabs will feel unfulfilled by the status quo, but if you’ve had a nagging sense that you’re following someone else’s bliss, you may start reconsidering your trajectory. It’s perfectly natural for career-focused people to get snagged in the “golden handcuffs” or turn into a show dog who’s only performing for the accolades.

If your heart hasn’t been in your work for a while, it might be time to test the waters—or heck, just rip off the Band-aid and make a bold move. Do it at a pace you can live with and on your terms. You don’t have to quit your day job, but why NOT start chatting up those associates who’ve been there/done that and have some helpful words of advice? The ninth house rules adventurers and entrepreneurs. How can you combine those two into your very own brilliant ventures? Ready, set, do it!

Don’t be afraid to ask for info and insight to help you launch your big dream—or at least move it up one more ladder rung. If you’ve been a bit reticent to reach out, tap the balancing energy of Friday’s quarter moon in Virgo in your expressive third house and rekindle some languishing friendships. Email someone you’ve fallen out of touch with; show up at local meetups that can connect you to likeminded folks. And definitely work the industry holiday-party circuit. Who says you can’t talk shop over cocktails and charcuterie? In your social life, too, you can restore some warmth to a connection that’s gone cold. This lunar light could reveal where you misjudged someone, and suddenly the qualities that put you off are rather appealing. This stabilizing quarter moon is also a reminder that you don’t always have to DIY. It’s said that many hands make light work, and by teaming up with kindred spirits you’ll not only save time (and possibly avoid an injury), but you’ll double, if not triple, your fun!
