Beware of

Cancer

Cancer is going to feel like a trap to your wild spirit this month. When Venus enters Cancer on May 19 they become very focused on home family and deep emotional security. You just want to pack a bag and travel the world. Cancer wants to hold onto you tightly and build a cozy nest. You will quickly feel suffocated and trapped by their emotional needs. When you try to pull away to get some space Cancer will feel rejected and hurt. Their moody behavior will completely baffle your optimistic nature. You prefer to deal with problems using logic and humor while Cancer drowns in feelings. You cannot give them the constant reassurance they require and they cannot give you the total freedom you demand. It is a recipe for mutual resentment. Keep things light and friendly but avoid making any deep commitments to a Cancer right now.
