Cancer Money

Your year in money begins on a positive note, as the Leo full moon on January 25 illuminates your desire to be paid what you deserve. Are you currently satisfied with how you’re being compensated for your time and energy? If not, you’ll feel courageous enough to address the issue head-on. You’ll initiate a new monetary opportunity during the Aquarius new moon on February 9 that prioritizes your desire for financial freedom. How can you ensure you’re financially supported, without feeling like your possessions are restricting you? It’s a good time to set aside some extra money or implement a new goal for your savings account. More often than not, freedom and security go hand in hand. 

On February 14, Mars links up with Pluto in Aquarius, exacerbating your desire for control over your shared resources, assets, and responsibilities. While you tend to be pretty unphased by the financial obligations you’re a part of, you’ll be making some extreme changes to how you handle your money – especially your joint affairs. You may suddenly be taking on financial responsibilities through a romantic partner or settling an outstanding debt that’s been looming over you. This transit allows you to progress in your financial journey, so take advantage of this energy! Once Mars in Aquarius squares off with Uranus in Taurus on March 9, taking risks with your financial investments will be your prime concern. Sometimes, you have to spend money to make money – just make sure that if you’re making a gamble with your assets, you’re thinking it through first. 

Your career and professional success capture your attention on April 1 as Mercury stations retrograde in Aries. Are you currently satisfied with where your career is headed? If not, it may be time to rebrand. Your new ideas may not yet be ready to be shared with the world, but don’t let that discourage you! Trust the process, and toy around with different ideas. The clarity you’re looking for is right around the corner. Your a-ha moment becomes clear during the Aries solar eclipse on April 8, launching you into a new chapter in your field. Whatever work endeavors are taking off now center around you and your own abilities, so don’t be afraid to show off! You feel confident in your journey, and the motivation will soon pay off.

As Mars meets up with the North Node in Aries on May 19, your new career endeavors will be kicked into overdrive. You’re achieving success at an accelerated rate, so make sure that you pause periodically to ensure that you’re satisfied with where you’re heading. The Capricorn full moon on June 21 reminds you to lean into the support of your colleagues and co-workers. While you typically like to work alone, you may find that you can achieve more when you join forces with another motivated individual. By the time Venus shifts into Leo by July 11, you’ll begin to see the benefits of your hard work really begin to show. Treat yourself to something nice, even if it’s as simple as a nice dinner or a long massage. You’ve been working hard and deserve to take a load off. The August 4 new moon in Leo brings the current state of your finances into question. Enjoying the fruits of your labor out loud is your favorite form of self-care, so feel free to splurge on a shiny new toy! The flashier, the better. 

You’ll be prompted to take a more serious look at your budget by the time the full moon rests in Aquarius on August 19, introducing questions about long-term financial support. Are you taking care of the responsibilities that exist outside of your personal desires? Paying taxes may be less fun than pampering yourself, but it can’t be avoided. Make sure you’re not spending recklessly! You’ll be encouraged to think outside the box regarding money matters as Mercury in Leo makes a tense connection with Uranus in Taurus on September 6. Sometimes, changing your perspective is all it takes to improve your finances.
