CANCER

UNTIL 2008

Work obsessed Cancers are such an anomaly to traditional astrology, because you're supposed to be just laying around waiting to become pregnant again and expecting to lactate any minute for the thousandth baby to start sucking at your poor tired breast.

But that's not always the case. We see so many work-obsessed Cancers scurrying around, being busy, officious and trying so so hard not to become obsolete. All Cancers are under such weird vibrations what with an eighth house Uranus and Neptune and a sixth house Pluto. They are trying to be busy and useful and productive and not to lose power. Still trying to be fertile and creative passionate and attractive and above all, young.

Many Cancers are now coming to realize that there has to be a very utilitarian function to their creativity. They have to put their ideas to some clear practical use. Even those who have been way up there in the firmament of success now realize that work is becoming an obsession and it is interfering with their lives and yet that's the pull between their need for greater and greater freedom and their growing obsession with work.

So how could you want to get away from the whole mess and still be compulsive about it at the same time. It's like you're trying to be more casual, more human, more interested in people on the one hand while you're becoming more and more anal about everything on the other?

And this is totally especially true for any Cancers born with Pluto in Virgo, those are the ones born from 1957 to 71. Because they are having a double whammy with Pluto in the solar sixth house now.

And the health thing!! Sometimes it's gets so ridiculous about the dietary thing diverticulawhatever, gastrointestinal,bugs, germs, coodies, low fat no fat. It's ridiculous to everybody who is not freaked out about their weight or their cholesterol or some other illness real or imagined.

Because Pluto in the sixth makes you change your habits. You can't eat the fat you used to you can't do the alcohol thing because your system is rebelling. It's asking you to purify it, streamline it take it easy, give it a break. And sometimes when you get scared enough about death anxiety you do start ordering only egg whites with your omelette and you don't go in for the red meat thing as much.

It's automatic and while it can become so fetishistic that you end up picking snacks out of a box of raisins, you do have to be more and more conscious of your body's voice.

Treat your body like a temple and not a drive-in movie, and you'll be fine.
