The full moon in Cancer on the 17th brings some home or family matters that you’ve been avoiding into full, unavoidable focus. Chasing your dreams is great and all, but what’s the use of being a success if you’re not grounded in anything? Reach out to a close friend, not for advice but for a shoulder to cry on. It’s OK to sit in silence and wait before you share anything new. Try keeping your big plans secret for once.
