Cancer Monthly Horoscope

Your Other Half or the Other Side

The sign of Capricorn rules your other half, or the other side, as you probably know. They could be any sign at all, of course, but when we see a lot of activity in your opposite sign of Capricorn in November and December, it’s obviously the end of a chapter. In fact, this is an ongoing background story which began around 16 years ago, either with this same person or a sequence of them (multiple dates or relationships). Faces may have changed but the song remains the same. Total Control by The Motels may have been one of them. I’m joking…but not quite. The relentless transit of Pluto in Capricorn has made Complete Control (Joy Division) a recurring issue either with the same person (your husband, your ex) or a chain of partners, exes or enemies. Now? You sign off, for good.

Partnership is usually sexual on this cycle (a marriage for example), but it can be purely for work or business. Sometimes partnerships, duets or ‘dynamic duos’ spring up for other reasons, but it’s always about the two of you trying to balance the scales together. This does end with permanent empowerment if you pushed back and pushed hard. How well, depends on you! If you are going to put a huge amount of time and energy into crossing the bridge to get out of this space, you may as well make sure that the final deal around December 7th, 2024, is as strong as you can make it – both with them and yourself.

The second half of November and December is a long overdue piece of repair work. You might call it the ultimate rebalancing. Something has been unbalanced for years in terms of your own empowerment or control in a situation. Well, let’s be frank – since 2008, you’ve often not had it at all. This may be down to the personality of your former or current partner (he or she may have been dominating and controlling). That can happen on this cycle. There are so many outcomes, and your personal chart really tells the story. Perhaps you have been stuck on some kind of online dating loop for years and have felt at the mercy of some “Fat Controllers” to quote Thomas the Tank Engine. Or thinner Controllers. Again, this is really down to your personal birth chart which you will have if you are a Premium Member.

Sometimes the Pluto issue is the acceptance of someone/something you know you are controlled by and have given into regarding a partner. This could be a potential date which never happens, or the memory of someone you lost. And it can be the entire online dating industry. Control is something you have won the long, hard way, Cancer. Rather than list the examples of Pluto transiting Capricorn for you, suffice to say it’s been ending in slow, stop-start stages since 2023, and November is the final sign-off for another 248 years.

If you are in a really difficult relationship which you cannot escape from, it may be that November/December 2024 provides you with the apartment you need. Or the other person may find a lover and you are given permission to go. The get-out clause with Pluto in Capricorn is followed by the compromise and deal-making of Ceres in Capricorn, following up until December 7th, 2024.

The Leo Weather and Your Money

Cancer, Leo rules your rent, your debts, your business interests, your pension or superannuation, your bank, tax return and so on. Be aware that the heat rises and the action doubles or trebles in speed and quantity once Mars enters Leo. He moves backwards, so time your moves with that in mind as this is an agenda (yours, his, hers or theirs) which will also move backwards.

* November 2024: Mars 0 to 5 Leo
* December 2024: Mars 6 to 2 Leo (Backwards or Retrograde).
* January 2025: Mars 1 to 0 Leo (Backwards or Retrograde).
* February 2025: Mars vanishes from Leo
* March 2025: Mars vanishes from Leo
* April 2025: Mars 0-5 Leo (Retracing his steps)
* May 2025: Mars 5 to 20 Leo (Retracing his steps)
* June 2025: Mars 21 to 29 Leo (Finishing the cycle)

If you have factors in Leo, then the issues here may be about your children, your new partner’s children, or the teenage and younger adulthood concerns for a son, daughter, godchild and so on. Fertility, unwanted pregnancy (abortion) and adoption also come under Leo. If you can hold your horses…then hold your horses. If you can’t, then allow for this really long to-and-fro cycle into June 2025. Choose your battles carefully if this is about child custody as they will go for longer than you thought and, at one point, reverse.

Premium? Go on.
