BEING BORN WITH CANCER YOUR SUN SIGN, YOU ARE THE CRAB, CREATURE OF THE WATER. IN THE I CHING, BOOK OF CHANGES, WATER IS A SYMBOL FOR A GOOD MANY THINGS. BUT WHEN IT IS CONSIDERED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE EARTH (THE CRAB SEEKS FOOD ON THE EARTH, UNLIKE FISH), IT TAKES ON SPECIFIC MEANING.

THEREFORE, WE LOOK TO THE I CHING IN THE CONTEXT OF YOUR READING FOR ILLUMINATION CONCERNING WATER IN RELATION TO EARTH. THIS IS FOUND IN THE I CHING'S EIGHTH HOUSE, THE HOUSE OF THE THE JOYOUS. HERE, TWO POSITIONS INVOLVE WATER. THEY ARE:

POSITION # 3 -- LAKE WITH EARTH = "GATHERING TOGETHER."
POSITION # 5 -- LAKE WITH MOUNTAIN = "OBSTRUCTION."

IN THE CONTEXT OF YOUR READING THESE TWO POSITIONS ARE OF CONSIDERABLE SIGNIFICANCE. THROUGH THE NEXT TWELVE MONTHS YOU WILL BE CONCERNED WITH HOW THINGS COME TOGETHER IN YOUR LIFE -- PEOPLE, POSSESSIONS, IDEAS, AND FEELINGS. AT THE SAME TIME YOU WILL BE CONCERNED WITH CERTAIN OBSTRUCTIONS THAT WILL BE PLACED IN THE WAY OF YOUR PROGRESS. IT IS TIME NOW, HOWEVER. TO FORECAST A GENERAL TREND.

GENERAL MOVEMENT FOR YOU IN NEXT TWELVE MONTHS: COMPLETION.

YOUR READING INDICATES THAT YOU WILL MOVE TOWARD A STATE OF COMPLETION IN A MAJORITY OF YOUR CONCERNS AND UNDERTAKINGS DURING THE NEXT TWELVE MONTHS. BUT MOVEMENT IS NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH ARRIVAL. WHETHER YOU ARRIVE AT SATISFACTORY COMPLETION OF GOALS DEPENDS ON YOU -- AND ON YOUR RESPONSE TO THE CHALLENGES CONTAINED IN THE WORDS "GATHERING TOGETHER" AND "OBSTRUCTION."

TO FURTHER CLARIFY:

THERE ARE PEOPLE IN YOUR LIFE FOR WHOM YOU FEEL STRONGLY, YET WHO YOU DO NOT DRAW CLOSE TO. WHY IS THIS? WHAT IS THE RESULT? YOUR READING WILL DWELL ON THESE QUESTIONS CONTINUALLY. THIS IS NOT TO BE CAUSE FOR ANXIETY, HOWEVER. THE BENEFITS TO YOU THAT WILL ACCRUE FROM HONEST ASSESSMENT OF SUCH QUESTION WILL BE ENORMOUS. ONCE YOU OBSERVE YOUR REACTIONS TO SITUATIONS AND FRIENDS, YOU WILL BE PREPARED TO "GATHER TOGETHER" -- THAT IS. TO ENJOY FULLER RELATIONS WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY.

IN FINANCIAL, MEDICAL, AND WORKING SITUATIONS AND CONCERNS YOU ARE PRONE TO ENCOUNTER OBSTACLES TO TRUE SATISFACTION AND FULFILLMENT. AS THE CRAB, YOU TEND TO HIDE YOUR TRUE NEEDS BENEATH A SHELL OF PRETENSE WHEN YOU ARE UNSURE. THIS CAN HURT YOU AT TIMES, BECAUSE PEOPLE WITH WHOM YOU ASSOCIATE NEED TO KNOW WHAT YOU ARE REALLY LIKE.

SELF-CREATED OBSTRUCTIONS TO SUCCESS AND FULFILLMENT ARE FOR YOU THE WORST KIND. YOU OFTEN DENY THAT THEY EXIST,

WHICH MAKES COPING WITH THEM CREATIVELY ALL THE MORE DIFFICULT. SO DURING THE NEXT TWELVE MONTHS YOUR READING WILL DRAW YOUR ATTENTION TO SITUATIONS WHEREIN THIS TENDENCY OF YOURS -- TO DENY YOUR REAL NEEDS -- MAY DO YOU HARM.

BE OPTIMISTIC ABOUT YOURSELF, AND REJOICE. IN FINDING "COMPLETION" TO BE THE WATCHWORD FOR THIS YEAR, YOUR READING IMPLIES THAT GOOD THINGS ARE IN STORE. FULFILLMENT AND HAPPINESS EXIST FOR YOU IN ABUNDANCE. SEEK THEM OUT. RELAX. BE AWARE OF OTHERS.

CONCLUSION AND SUMMARY

YOUR READING FOR THE PAST TWELVE MONTHS HAS PRESENTED YOU WITH SOME CHALLENGING CONCEPTS AND UNIQUE DIRECTIONS. "GATHERING TOGETHER," "OBSTRUCTION," AND FINALLY, A MOVEMENT TOWARD "COMPLETION" HAVE FIGURED BOTH ON THE SURFACE AND ON THE DEEPER LEVELS OF YOUR FORECASTS AND COMMENTARY.

YOUR RESPONSE TO THE ADVICE AND NARRATION WILL DETERMINE THE DEGREE OF FULFILLMENT YOU EXPERIENCE. YOUR READING REITERATES THAT A LARGE QUANTITY OF JOY AND HAPPINESS ARE POSSIBLE FOR YOU. THIS IS NOT SO FOR EVERYONE, AND SHOULD BE HONORED.

THE CRAB, SYMBOL OF SUN SIGN CANCER, IS A FASCINATING ANIMAL. UNDER A HARD SHELL HE IS SOFT, WITH A HEART THAT IS VULNERABLE AND TRUE. YOU ARE OF THIS KIND. YOUR SHELL IS TO PROTECT YOU, AND YOU COULD NOT PROSPER WITHOUT IT. AT THE SAME TIME THE SHELL SOMETIMES PREVENTS YOU FROM TRUE INTIMACY WITH FRIENDS. FROM GIVINGNESS TO LOVED ONES, AND FROM RECEIVING FROM THOSE WHO WISH TO GIVE TO YOU. GET TO KNOW YOUR SHELL. USE IT. BUT DO NOT HIDE WITHIN IT WHEN THERE IS NO NEED.

YOUR MOVEMENT HAS BEEN TOWARD COMPLETION. REJOICE IN THIS. "MOVEMENT TOWARD" IS NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH "ARRIVAL". BE AWARE OF THIS. ARRIVAL AT COMPLETION IS POSSIBLE FOR YOU, BUT ONLY AFTER MUCH MOVEMENT, TRIAL AND ERROR, SUCCESS AND FAILURE. THIS MOVEMENT IS YOUR DESTINY. ARRIVAL IS IN YOUR HANDS ALONE.

LOOK UPWARD. THE SKY CLEARS.
WORK WITH YOUR HANDS. THEY ARE STRONG.
