The Leo moon whets your appetite for luxury this New Years Eve, and youll prefer to ring it in with a posh and elegant affair. As the zodiacs epicurean, you might find yourself gathered around a large, candlelit table, enjoying the prix fixe tasting menu at an upscale restaurant with your eight closest friends. Warning: celebrations can get rather spendy this Monday so dont go overboard with the bottle service or buying round after round for your nearest and dearest. Blowing your bank balance on one fabulous night is never a wise move, especially for a security-minded sign such as yours. Agree upon a budget in advance with fellow revelers, so the fun isnt spoiled by differing financial expectations. Also on NYE, communicator Mercury moves into Capricorn and your seventh house of committed relationships for three weeks. Romance could heat up, and get serious, between the 31st and January 19. Youre pickier than most in affairs of the heart, so if youve actually met someone who turns you on, its damn near a Miracle on 34th Street! Are your affections returned in kind? If so, you owe it to yourself to give this union a chance. Discussions could turn to our future as the ball drops on Times Square and you may surprise yourself by changing an autonomous plan into a couples affair. Be flexible, Cancer! Single? Donning your fancy frocks will not be a wasted effort this year. Celebrations could serve up a lasting prospect. Swallow your fear and make eye contact. Smile, say hello (yes, we know this is extra credit work), even spark up a conversation. The more affable you appear, the more approachable youll be. Hello, midnight kiss! With Mercury in Capricorn, work the buddy system in all that you do. Want to get those 2013 fitness resolutions flowing? Pair up with a friend who has similar goals and motivate each other to Zumba or spin class on a thrice-weekly basis. Lucky Jupiter and energetic Mars will form a heavenly trine all week, amping up your creative powers. Youll make epic strides by working behind the scenes; in fact, while others grumble about having to go back to work, youll be eager to dive in and make headway on a passion project. A mentor figure could appear, ushering in new opportunities and taking you under her wing. Seek and ye shall find, especially when it comes to advice from a wise and experienced source. On the emotional front, youll feel more in command of your feelings than you have for a while, and may be shocked by your ability to clearly express your needsand put up boundaries–in a particular relationship. Your willingness to say thanks, but no thanks could catch people off guard and help you command their respect. They thought they had you wrapped around their fingers but ha! Youll show them. Just dont get too caught up in the cat and mouse games. Giving chase is one thing, but driving people crazy with mixed messages is quite another. Certain relationships can grow incredibly intimate under the influence of the Mars-Jupiter duo. The sensual and poetic energy of these planets placements could pave the way for some off-the-charts romance and fantasies realized in action. Dont let worries of will it last forever? prevent you from enjoying the moment and allowing an amorous contender get closer to you. How will you ever get to happily ever after if you cant break the ice in the first place? Let things advance to the next stage of the game and try taking the relationship one step at a time instead of spiraling so far into the future with worry and anxiety.

General Characteristics of Cancer

Sensitive Cancer is ruled by the ever-changing Moon, and your moods go through many cycles. You're intuitive and nurturing, even psychic. Pay attention to your dreams, especially near a Full Moon. You are sensitive and loyal, with a ready shoulder to cry on. Cancer loves to get domestic, serving your friends and family home-baked goodies and tea. When you get moody, you need to be comforted, or else just left alone. Like a crab, you can cling -- or pinch -- when you feel threatened or vulnerable. And thrifty Cancers can pinch pennies just as tightly. (Of course, you also love to spend! It's a mood thing.) To make life easier, surround yourself with comfort: a cozy sweater, a favorite book, trusted friends, and a stash of your favorite goodies. Cancers are close to their moms, so keep yours on speed-dial and call her when you're down. You may be an unofficial mom to everyone in your life, too. Taking care of kids, friends, and pets can keep your spirits high.
