Horoscope Cancer

Love

Dear Cancer friends, lovers of family atmospheres and deep feelings, this week will test you subtly. The square between Venus and Neptune on 24 December hits your idealised and romantic way of loving: you may discover that your partner is less enthusiastic about Christmas traditions than you would like, or that his/her family has very different rituals from yours. Or simply, that they are a pragmatic person. Don’t take these details as a lack of love; don’t take it personally: breathe deeply and show mental flexibility. Venus in Capricorn, opposite your Sign, asks you to step out of the emotional trap and approach relationships with greater objectivity: loving also means accepting imperfections and differences. The planetary focus in Capricorn at the end of the week sheds light on relationships and contracts: a perfect time to formalise bonds, introduce your partner to extended family, or discuss future commitments while nibbling on panettone. For singles: someone reserved but solid might catch your attention; let time reveal your feelings, not initial intensity.

Work

Your diplomatic skills are appreciated, but you also need to show dynamism and decision-making ability: no delays, now is the time to act firmly. If someone tries to slow you down, keep your goals in mind.

Money

Watch out for impulsive spending on last-minute gifts. Your versatility might lead you to buy too much for too many; set a budget and stick to it.
