Business negotiations reach a peak, dearest Cancer, as the Aries Moon aspects Saturn and Pluto. Don't hesitate to seal deals you feel confident in, but understand that it's okay to walk away from arrangements that don't meet your expectations. Romantic partnerships also come into focus, and it might be time to discuss shared aspirations or joint resources. If you and your counterpart can't agree on spending habits or the future, it's better to find out sooner rather than later. Pressure builds while Luna and Jupiter square off. If you become anxious or overstimulated, pull back to hatch a new plan.
