December 2010
Cancer Horoscope

Competitive edge

by Jeff Jawer

Job-related issues grab your attention early this month as the New Moon in adventurous Sagittarius falls in your 6th House of Work on December 5. This sign of endless enthusiasm may inspire you to seek more exciting employment, but could also signal stress caused by taking on more than you can comfortably handle. Go ahead and expand your professional responsibilities -- just don't exhaust yourself in the process.

Uranus, the planet of surprises, turns direct the same day, freeing up energy for exploring unusual subjects and stimulating your desire for exotic travel. Relationships are another key theme now, especially when initiating Mars enters your 7th House of Partnerships on December 7. The action planet reignites existing connections and makes it easier to meet new people. Expect challenges, though, from ambitious individuals who prefer control to equality. You are usually tender, yet this is a time when being tough could be required.

Cancer Dates with Destiny

December 11 - 13: Make Love Not War

Militant Mars is stirring up your 7th house with conjunctions to the karmic North Node of the Moon on December 11 and Mercury and Pluto on December 13. These can be combative times when you attract aggressive people or, preferably, when you take the initiative in relationships. It's better to be a leader than a follower now, so step up and take charge. Harsh words are possible with argumentative Mercury's connections to angry Mars and potent Pluto. Plan your moves in advance to apply sharp thinking in a calm, constructive way instead of feeling forced to fight.

December 24: Iron Fist, Velvet Glove

The fierce Sun joining the Moon's North Node can pull a powerful person into your orbit. It's vital to match the strength of this or any other forceful individual now. The key is to maintain your sense of humor and a generous spirit, allowing you to earn respect without rubbing someone the wrong way.
