The fiery than usual Crab of last year is on a much more subdued love track this birthday year. You are in need of security and comfort at home more than usual. The way to win your heart right now is through nurturing and good old-fashioned TLC. Among your friends, expect to get turned to when there are heavy secrets to be shared. You may feel drained in dealing with some acquaintances who may take advantage of your listening ear. Your own feelings can be vulnerable, especially as it gets close to the Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio, come May 2022. Around this time, there is greater risk of emotional upsets over things that normally would not make waves. If possible, avoid borrowing or loaning money from loved ones around this time. By the time it gets to your next birthday in 2022, you may be surprised by the lack of reliability that some family members are demonstrating.

Single Cancers are more likely to be striving to partner up and find themselves in a serious relationship this birthday year. Casual dating may be more challenging at times, and as you look for a serious companion you may have to weed out some frustrating bad apples. The good news is that your love life luck does become more positive before the end of 2021. Your tolerance for low-quality dates is quite low, and your magnetism to attract a higher caliber partner is boosted. If you are still single come 2022, your next best chance for a serious partnership to begin starts after the end of April, with the Solar Eclipse in Taurus. You are ready to get wined and dined, and the person who has your attention is likely ready by now to do that for you.

Cancers in a relationship will benefit from plans that have likely been in the works for quite some time. You are focused on the future, and checking items off of your relationship "to do" list. There is no need to rush! If you plan too much, you may end up caught in an emotional whirlwind, and get thrown off if life doesn't play out exactly as planned. You should be especially cautious of communication problems with your partner around the mercury retrograde period of September 2021. Next year, as a whole, should treat communication better for you and your partner, particularly when it comes to planning any next steps for the relationship. As it gets closer to your next birthday in the 2nd quarter of 2022, do not be surprised if there is some sort of exciting plans that you are looking forward to sharing with your significant other!

When it comes to your career path, the second half of 2021 may have you feel like you are working at a zoo! Expect to be feeling that you are not being told everything, but being expected to anticipate the unexpected! Things may feel quite demanding, and you may be pulled to wanting to quit and start over on more than one occasion. It is not fair, but too much is dumped on your plate, especially in as 2021 comes to a close. If you tough it out, you can expect to get some recognition next year, but probably not as much as you feel you deserve. If you want to start a new path, that is totally up to you... but major career transitions may end up being harder to get through than normal. The pressure does let up as 2022 gets rolling, but you may be needing to take several long vacations (if possible). Find a way to let off some steam, so you do not end up with job-related burnout!

Financially, as long as you are able to hang in there, you should be seeing some improvements with your money flow.

Moving is likely to go smoother for you, starting in 2022, compared to the second half of 2021. If you can't wait, try to at least wait until the fourth quarter of 2021.
