Cancer

Year-Ahead Outlook For year commencing Jan 2008

Overview
You'll be making quite an impact through the year, coming across as positive, enthusiastic and rather powerful. Close partnerships at work and at home will benefit from Jupiter's expansive touch. Though Pluto could make you too intense at times. Persistent pushing from you will get your views across to everyday mates at work and elsewhere but you'll need to find out why they sometimes don't listen. Adventures on travel are on the agenda. Have a care with cash. This isn't the time to amble along hoping for the best. Get a grip and take the initiative.

Romance
The good one-to-one relationships in your life will go from strength to strength since you'll see clearly where the potential for development lies. The odd partnership which has passed its sell by date you'll gradually let go with a minimum of fuss. What is important is to let the good bonds deepen. Try not to be scared of being controlled or trapped. Explore what lies below the surface. If you can change the habits of a lifetime from February onwards and stop expecting perfection then you'll find intimacy grows and you'll have a more fulfilling emotional life. Expect too much and you'll be disappointed. April will see your social status rise with enough attention and compliments to boost your morale. October will be happy home time after some reorganisation. November will be boisterous socially and romantically. Have a care in December which could be tricky with loved ones.

Money
Both Solar Eclipses fall in your financial houses so you'll need to pull the stops out. From February onwards focus on joint finances where you share responsibility with others at home and at work. Pie in the sky ideas won't work neither will hoping for the best. Take direct action and make it happen. Don't take advice or information on trust. Double check for yourself. From May you'll be earning more, and spending to keep pace. More contented you may let off the brakes too much and by August you'll be knuckling down to give your personal finances a shake up. Forget about impressing others. Put security before pleasure.

Work
Your persuasive powers will be considerable so if you play your cards right you'll find that you are making quite an impression in the right quarters. Though at times you may also arouse a little resistance or antagonism by coming on too strong. You'll need to keep up your efforts to communicate clearly in a way that others really understand. If you find certain doors seem to be closed don't retreat hurt. Be firm about addressing the issues that are standing in the way of progress. Relationships with close colleagues at work will be enthusiastic but also fairly intense. April will be your month to make your mark and make a real difference. Your ambitions and dynamic drive will be obvious so results should flow through.

Health
In general you'll feel fitter when Pluto exits Sagittarius late January though it re-appears for the final time briefly between June and November. It tends to put pressure on you so during these phases you need to take extra care not to over do strenuous activity and to get ailments seen to. Your schedule will be pressured so finding time to wind down as well as eating for stamina will help. Late November to late December will be your times to get your act together health and fitness-wise since there will be heavy demands made on you.
