Cancer, how conscious you are of others’ needs. You don’t just read our minds; you read our hearts. You sense every ounce of discomfort and sorrow within us and determine precisely how we need to be loved and cared for.

And that is exactly why the world feels so safe with you – we know that you can hold space for us even on our worst days. But 2020 is going to get you in touch with your needs instead. Pluto, god of the underworld, has been long at work in your seventh house of partnership. Pluto has held a mirror up to the role you play in your most intimate connections and has asked you to see how you may be hurting yourself for the sake of these partners. Saturn, the great teacher, will push you to have the tough conversations and set new boundaries with these partners that will ground you in reality. He wants you to get clear on your needs and ask for those needs to be met, even if it means allowing the relationship to fall apart.

What have you learned over the past year about partnership? If fear wasn’t an issue, what would you ask for in your intimate relationships this year?

These are tough questions, but you have the answers within you. The good news is Jupiter, the planet of good fortune, will bring you some much-needed breakthroughs in your partnerships. Jupiter is going to show you the path towards healing in your most important relationships. She is going to shine a beam of hope down on your partnerships, and inspire you to take up some much-needed space with those you share your life with.And since Uranus, the planet of change, will be in your eleventh house of community, apply this knowledge and growth to your friendships and the groups you belong to as well. Make a commitment in every relationship in your life to be honest. Ask for what you need, and what you want, and discover who would love to show up for you in return.

You are allowed to have needs, Cancer. You are worthy of getting those needs met. And you are worthy of being loved because of, not in spite of, those needs too.
