Tips Suggestions on how and where to enjoy your
precious time off.
Cancer (June 21 - July 22) Your Road to Wealth
Your solar 2nd
sector of income is ruled by the mighty Sun,
the giver of life and strength. This is always helpful when
you are thinking of new ways to make money! Being a water
sign, your instincts and intuition are always operating, which
means you can sense important trends in the economy before
the rest of us do. Others may see you as a pushover,
but you are just the opposite. You are always able
to make tough, calculated business or financial decisions
when necessary. Saving to provide for your children's education
or your family's security is your biggest goal, and winds
up bringing you wealth. By taking care of others, you help
yourself.
Many Cancers do well by investing in real estate
-- owning your own home is usually important to the Crab.
Overall, you are very financially prudent.
You think paying retail is insane and you know all the best
places to shop. You love to buy household supplies in bulk
and take advantage of sales. Is all this bargain hunting worthwhile?
Yes it is, and you've got the savings account to prove it!
Yet you might be tempted to take a good thing too far. Food
coupons may tempt you to buy things you don't need. Cancer,
it will take months to consume all those canned goods! When
it comes to clothes, you like to get years of wear out of
the outfits you buy. Some call you a little stingy, but you
want a nest egg for retirement. Cancers like to keep their
money in the bank, not wear it on their backs. They know the
current rates of interest and probably know how to multiply
their savings better than their banker does (unless the banker
is a Taurus, Scorpio or Capricorn). Smart Cancer -- you will
have the last laugh! Others are just jealous of your ability
to plan ahead. Additional areas of possible wealth for you
include antiques or investing in things of historical value.
Sometimes, though, you stay in situations longer
than you should. Your steadfast devotion gets you to pour
energy into situations that have long outlived their usefulness.
Learn to move on sooner, rather than later. Your sympathetic
heart tends to give every situation the benefit of the doubt,
thus allowing you to throw good money after bad. Think about
yourself a little, too! One other thing: when Cancers are
hit with hard times they will usually cut back on expenses,
instead of figuring out ways to make more money. Spend
more time figuring out how you can raise your income and less
on scrimping! That sounds obvious, but for frugal
Cancer, often it isn't!
Hint: Like Scorpio,
Cancer has the memory of an elephant, and that is an asset.
You always know what you paid for something, whether it was
for a loaf of bread or a bar of gold. No one can put something
over on you!
Your Financial Outlook for the
Year 2000 and Beyond
Uranus,
the planet of the unpredictable events, is riding through
your 8th sector of "other
people's money," a trend that started in June, 1995. Neptune,
the planet of dreams, inspiration and confusion, is also in
this financial sector, a trend that started in February, 1998.
No doubt, you have experienced some rather dramatic positive
or negative shifts in your monetary picture under the influence
of these two planets. Their combined presence suggests that
you should continue to remain conservative in your
spending and investments in the years ahead, because
neither planet will be moving soon. Uranus will leave your
8th sector of joint resources in 2003 and Neptune won't leave
until 2012.
While Uranus could help you win the lottery,
this planet could just as easily get you to lend money to
someone who'll never repay you, even though he or she may
have the best intentions. Neptune suggests you could be in
the dark about a joint financial matter in a contract, or
even a tax matter (brought on by a spouse, for example). Caution
should be your byword. Don't invest in a "hot tip," or be
emotional in your spending. If you keep your antenna
up, double-check references, and be judicious in your use
of credit cards, you will sail through the next few years
easily. Once in a while, take a chance and buy a
lotto or raffle ticket -- as they say, "hey, you never know!"
Keep in mind that Jupiter,
the planet of happiness, growth and fortune, will enter Cancer
on July 12, 2001 and stay for a full year. This will be Jupiter's
first visit to your sign in over a decade! When Jupiter leaves
in August 2002, it will enter your sector of earned income
to give you your best financial year ever. Begin working toward
this bonanza monetary year by preparing yourself professionally.
Have the right experience, credentials, and educational background
in place -- whatever you need to stand out.
Eclipses,
always harbingers of change, in your money sectors on January
21 and July 31, 2000 continue a trend that you have had to
get used to since 1998. Your income has and will continue
to bring an element of surprise and change to your everyday
life. That set of eclipses, plus one in your sign
on July 1, 2000, others in your opposite sign of Capricorn
at several points in 2000 and in subsequent years, all suggest
a change of direction. While the eclipses can, at times, upset
you with surprise developments, they can blast you out of
a rut -- possibly into a higher-income job. Eclipses inform
us of certain truths and they also bring rewards, if we deserve
them. Change brings experience, maturity and growth -- all
good things, dear Cancer, so be excited about the future!
