For Saturday, April 12:

Sometimes others don’t understand why you have become such a recluse or such a private person. This year, use opportunities to increase your emotional and financial security. If you are single, you will desire a comfortable relationship rather than a wildly romantic bond. If you are attached, invest in your home or buy a new home. Cancer can be centering but also boring.
