Cancer — the year ahead

Jupiter is in Leo — your 2nd house

Jupiter keeps expansion, generosity, opportunity — and excess. It stays long enough that this is the ground the year is worked out on rather than an event: the house of money, what you own and what you are worth.

Saturn is in Aries — your 10th house

Saturn keeps limits, duty, delay and what time forces on you. It stays long enough that this is the ground the year is worked out on rather than an event: the house of career, reputation and those with authority over you.

Uranus is in Gemini — your 12th house

Uranus keeps disruption and change that arrives without warning. It stays long enough that this is the ground the year is worked out on rather than an event: the house of solitude, what is behind the scenes, and what undoes you.

Neptune is in Aries — your 10th house

Neptune keeps imagination, confusion and what dissolves. It stays long enough that this is the ground the year is worked out on rather than an event: the house of career, reputation and those with authority over you.

Pluto is in Aquarius — your 8th house

Pluto keeps power, compulsion and what will not go back. It stays long enough that this is the ground the year is worked out on rather than an event: the house of debt, inheritance, other people's money, and endings.
