CANCER HOROSCOPE

Cancer

General Outlook

Around the middle of the week, you could feel that you are feeling a bit restricted and hemmed in. If so, then you may well decide to do something different and change your daily routine. This may well not be planned, and you just decide to do it on the spur of the moment. You will not be looking for the same old same old, you will want something more alternative, people with different views and ideas.

Love & Romance

Your sex drive is likely to be higher than usual. If your relationship is stable, then this can be a really good time for you both. If there are difficulties, then this period may deepen the division, especially if you see it as being unfair. If you are looking for a new relationship, then you decide to take the initiative and go after someone that you want to be with.

Prosperity & Opportunity 

You are about to enter a period of change. There are 2 ways you can approach this; one is to fight against it and try to maintain the status quo which is unlikely to happen. Two, is to plan for change and work with it insofar as you can. Without specifics, it is difficult to know what you can do to manage the situation. In general, if you can lock it down, then you should.

Gemstone – Garnet for January

In Greek mythology, a pomegranate is referenced as a gift of love and is associated with eternity. Nowadays, Garnet remains as a gift of love and is traditionally given for the 19th anniversary of marriage. It may also be used as a gift for two-year and six-year anniversaries. Moreover, Garnet is symbolic of a quick return and separated love, since Hades had given a pomegranate to Persephone before she left him to ensure her speedy return. Therefore, Garnet may be given to a beloved before embarking on a trip, as it is believed to heal the broken bonds of lovers.

It has been said that a garnet engraved with the figure of a lion is an all around effective charm that will protect and preserve health, cure the wearer of all disease, bring him honors, and guard him from all the possible perils in traveling. It was also said to warn the wearer of approaching danger and was long ago carried as a protection against harm.
