Aquarius is known for being cool and aloof, but there’s nothing chill about Aquarius season for you, Cancer! Issues concerning sex and intimacy are coming to the fore—how deep can you really go with your partners? Complicated financial matters like taxes, debts, and inheritances are also up for you to contend with. On a more emotional level, you’re working through grief and fear—a potent time for big shifts, but as you know, Cancer, change is hard. But does it have to be? Aquarius is an innovative sign, ruled by serious Saturn and electric Uranus, the planet of sudden and brilliant upgrades. Perhaps it’s the waiting and imagining what’s next that makes things difficult, not the arrival of something new. You’re ready for an upgrade, aren’t you?
