2013 horoscope for Cancer

2013 is a year of celebration for you, Cancer. Good friends, children and your relationship. Your career and people close to you will try your patience often during 2103, but you will also have opportunities to step up, take charge and get ahead in the world. Jupiter, the planet of good fortune is in your house until the end of June, and Jupiter will provide a guardian angel. Do not test the limits of this guardianship, but use your own talents and abilities first. Jupiter will step in at the 11th hour to help things move along in a positive manner.

You will be okay listening to yourself and taking time for you. Meditation is in the cards and you need to just listen and learn about your inner child. Sometimes it is good to just be you. Your intuition in job matters will serve you well and do be cautious about what you say at work. Someone who seems to be in your corner will try to undermine your position. It will be hard to know who is on your side and who isn't.

Explore your spirituality and let it touch your compassionate side. You will be inspired to help others. Be careful, however, since there are those who will take advantage of you and try to get you to do more. Don't be an enabler. After June 25 you should be particularly optimistic. This is a period of high influence that will be memorable and fortunate. You will need to decide which way you want to go; make the choice that is best for your situation.

As the year moves on you will be inclined to romance. Listen to your heart and intuition and choose the situation that will benefit you and your family. If you are in a committed relationship this year will see a renewal of commitment and love. Start a new hobby this year - one that is touchy like gardening, sewing, handicrafts or art. You will find a deep sense of satisfaction in doing something with your hands and immediately seeing the results.

Beware of investment advice that could have you investing more than you should. Increase your knowledge base as Saturn moves through your house of finances; long term gains rather than short term wealth are the key this year. There will be many times this year of 2013 that you feel particularly stretched and unable to balance career and home. This year is the middle of great change and will continue to be changing until 2018. There will be years that are quiet, but not this one. Expand your knowledge and if you are so inclined go back to school to get a higher degree. There may be some movement in your housing situation - you may need to move for your career or for someone else's. Change is good and will take you far if you let it. Relationships with other people in your life will change as people enter and depart your life. Some will be positive and others will be negative, controlling and gossipy. Do what is best for you this year.
