Last month, Mercury also went retrograde.

2024 sees you busy off the bat.

Mars, the warrior of the gods, rules fighting and f*cking.

It helps us assert ourselves in both professional and personal matters.

This doesn’t have to refer to romantic partnerships.

Mars gives good advice regarding friendships, too.

That’s just life, Cancer.

However, the new year can also be an excuse to treat yourself to a makeover.

Not dating or asexual?

No worries, Venus cares just as much about friendships.

On a very bad day, you’re able to withhold affection or compliments, Cancer.

If you try this sort of behavior, all the progress you make will backslide.
