This year, you might not be as conscious of your words as you might like to be. Note a tendency to give mixed messages. You can only grow from understanding and acknowledging this behavior. If you are single, you could meet someone on a trip or when you least expect it. If you are attached, open up to the possibility that you and your mate can both be right about an issue but hold different resolutions. Cancer is a true friend.
