Cancer (23rd Jun - 23rd Jul)
Your forecast for July 2010.
I normally record the monthly videos as late as possible to maximize current influences. Late last week, the man who makes the videos happen, Mr. Birthday Matcher, got diagnosed with kidney cancer, he's under the knife in a few days time. So this month's video's are shorter and not the normal. Please remember that essentially I am a one man band (with a little bit of valued help). Normal service resumed next month.

Traditionally the busiest time of year for you, there's an unusual degree of clarity about you now that makes it a lot easier to see things in black and white. This can make you more eliminative than normal, not a bad thing. The partial eclipse of the Sun in Cancer on the 11th brings a choice point into your life. You can choose to carry on the same, or you can choose to become more prioritised and alert to the opportunities around you. The important thing here is not to end up feeling as though you're dancing on other people's strings and that you're in control of your life. Doesn't mean that you have to like it, but it does mean you have to retain your personal power and choice.
Romance and Relationship
It's one of those times where you can't be a lover or a partner to someone unless you're already a god friend. Being friends with your partner is an absolute essential right now, and if your relationship is strong then one and one equals three and the combined relationship can project out into the external community in ways that bring much better experiences. Your social groups should welcome you with more open arms and you'll find that your place in community becomes steadily more of a richer experience. Even if single, you have no need to be lonely.
Work and Money
If you're going to take any chances regarding either your work or your financial status, then the first ten days of the month are the best time to do so. After this, situations level out in a way that becomes more steady and routine, although some of you - especially those born in June - are really beginning to reconsider long term options. There's no reason why you shouldn't move forward now, it's just that you could easily be seduced by sudden fortune and then overreach or over commit yourself as a result. Move forward, but don't make long term commitments just yet.
Health and Spirit
Really on the receiving end of so many different energies, most of them at least abrasive if not in some cases even challenging, there's little you can do at this time but consolidate your roots and foundations and keep your shields and your shell strong and close to hand. This is not time for growth and expansion, no matter how good the opportunities seem. Instead, it's time to find out exactly who and what is real in your life and who you see your future evolving with, and in what way. Sounds complicated, but it's not - this time involves making hard choices based on personal priorities. Easy - yes?
Your forecast for 2010
here is your yearly summary.
Whether you like it or not, you're slowly being forced into coming out of your shell and into taking responsibility not only for yourself, but also for others. This is only going to get stronger, so grin and bear it. But rather than see this as a challenge, look at it as an opportunity to rise to your real strengths and to become more full of power, or powerful, than you've been for many, many years. For some of you, particularly those born in June, the first half of 2010 is a time of nose to the grindstone and staying low, but it is only hard work that is being asked of you, nothing more. 2010 is a year where you will gradually stretch your boundaries, so loosen up!
Romance and Relationship
Mid May through to the end of July is your best time for attracting the quality of company that you truly deserve, with the second week of June particularly highlighted. Yet at the same time you're probably finding yourself somewhat surprised at how different your wants from your relationship patterns are now compared to just two or three years ago. Things are changing, and old rules don't apply, so go with the flow this year and it will take you to some interesting and fortunate places. Stay still and run the risk of stagnation.
Business and Finance
The year is split into three sections as far as your professional life is concerned. The period until the end of May is full of opportunity for growth and expansion in a way that generally promises a lot more hope and optimism. From June to early August it's very much nose to the grindstone and from mid August onwards results should start beginning to come through. There's no need to rush - this is a period of slow but unstoppable movement forward, much like the tides, so take your time and perform every small step thoroughly - you'll be glad you did.
Health and Spirit
With Pluto in your opposite sign all year, you'll find that in the background it is your one to one interactions with others that are the biggest area of development. Doesn't matter if this is parent, child, friend, professional or intimate partner, the essence is one to one. The better the relationships you have with other individuals, the better you can say the relationship you have with yourself is: it is through your relationships with ‘other' that you can measure your success in the world. The last week of June is particularly favourable for taking small chances.
MERCURY zips through Cancer from the 25th June to the 10th July

VENUS is in your sign from the 20th May to the 14th June.
MARS doesn't touch Cancer during 2010
JUPITER brings a number of beneficial chances your way in the first four months of the year, and if you're born after the 15th, things should go even better.
SATURN It is mainly those of you born in June getting it in the neck from Saturn until October, from when you can all expect a few Saturnine niggles.
URANUS is bringing nothing but opportunity for positive change in 2010, especially if you're born after the 18th
NEPTUNE is not affecting your chart directly in 2010
PLUTO is affecting those born from 23-26 June in ways that could easily be said to be life changing. There is a need for caution in certain areas of your life, and perhaps also an acceptance of the need for release and endings in others. Everything is cyclic - how can the new emerge if the old is blocking its way?
