Celebrate the Solstice with Your 2017 Cancer Birthday Reading

"Once again, I can't get over how you tick all those boxes, and more. Once again, am bowled over by your extraordinary gifts, preparation and wisdom, dear Eric, and am filled with inspiration, courage and joy by your words."
-- Liz Glanville

Dear Reader with a Cancer Sun, Moon or Rising Sign:

Yesterday was the solstice, and Friday is a New Moon in your sign. This is your time: a new cycle, a new season -- a new series of opportunities, challenges and unforeseen discoveries about yourself.

How are you feeling about that? Are you excited, as though the world is your oyster and you're ready to slurp it down? Or are you feeling a little lost at sea, desperate for a lighthouse to show you the way forward?

Wherever you are on that spectrum, know that Eric is designing your 2017 Cancer Birthday Reading specifically to help you find your way, prepare for what's emerging, and then make the most of your potential.

Your reading will include two segments of astrology (at least 30 minutes each), plus a tarot reading for your year ahead. Since we're still in the initial pre-sale phase, you can pre-order your reading at a steep discount -- the price will increase before all part of the reading publish, and then will increase again upon publication.

If Your Birthday is June 22
(The Day of Romantic Exaltation) | Cancer Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
There's a party in the sky right now, and the cake has your name written in bright colors. This is an extraordinary time in your life, and you have the strength, wisdom and energy to accomplish several of your most dearly desired goals. Take care of yourself, be mindful of your relationships, and foster the harmony that helps get work done.

Written in the Planets
Yesterday, both Mercury and the Sun entered the early degrees of Cancer. This offers a unique chance to clear out anything that perhaps no longer has a place in your life, and to embark on something entirely new. The nature of these changes probably reflects something that's been on your mind for a while. Keep in touch with your body and feelings, and make sure your plans are in line with your goals.

Aries (March 20-April 19) -- Take care of your finances; which means using your resources well. You're also in a position to increase your income, which will be helpful. The more important factor is living a diverse life, where you can experience and explore the many different facets of who you are.

Taurus (April 19-May 20) -- You have many advantages right now. The thing to do is to use any obstacle, bump or seeming problem to your best ends. That means rising to every challenge and taking a positive approach to what you're doing. Count every task as important and meaningful. There are no throwaway projects.

Gemini (May 20-June 21) -- The combination of Mercury, Mars and the Sun in your house of available cash is describing how much you've got going for you. But you won't notice any of it unless you consciously tune in and feel the strength of your character, and bring your self-esteem out where everyone can see it clearly.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) -- You are more influential when you're being exactly who you are. That means making no excuses or apologies; it means no white lies; and that means being willing to confront people with what you perceive and experience. If you feel guilty for doing this, you're heading in the right direction.

Leo (July 22-Aug. 23) -- You know something about yourself that you would prefer other people not know. Your reason for remaining silent would be to take your own counsel. You don't want others influencing you on such a deeply personal matter before you've made up your own mind. That's a wise choice.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) -- Take advantage of your enhanced social prospects. You have extra freedom to circulate yourself among different circles of friends, or even strangers, and feel at home amongst them. This, in turn, will help them feel at home around you. Emphasize the positive and offer your good vibes.

Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) -- Matters of money must come second to those of the quality of your work. It's true that we all need to eat, and you always do. Putting money ahead of beauty is the very definition of selling out. Do your best work every day. Stay in alignment with yourself. The money will follow.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) -- It would be funny the way that people think making a lot of money vindicates anyone and anything, except it really is not. Money has a purpose, and needs to be handled with respect; but it does not automatically bless everyone who touches it. Be discerning, and insist on the truth.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) -- You have an unusual perspective, in that you can see the past and the future at the same time. You can see how things were for so long, and how they are becoming today. Make this transition from one phase of your life to the next consciously, and remember what you've learned.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) -- As one door closes, another opens, which gives you every reason to welcome the transitions that are now taking hold of your life. You need family, though you most dearly need the kind that you choose, based on mutual love and respect. Everyone else can wait.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Your work is grounding for you. It literally keeps you in your consciousness and in your body. Your chart right now is set up perfectly for doing your best work at home. This is often true, though especially now. If you cannot bring your work home, bring your comforts to the office.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) -- For a while, creativity requires discipline. You must impose a structure to make sure you learn the basics, establish routines, and reorder your life. Then, at a certain point, the creative process takes over, and takes you with it. You no longer need to paddle; you only need to steer the boat.
