Happy 2020, Cancer babe! The new decade is off to a fabulous start: 2020 kicks off with a Lunar Eclipse in your sign on January 10. This eclipse is part of an ongoing series that began in 2018—the most recent occurred on December 26, 2019. You’ve been receiving a lot of shocking information over the past few weeks, but now, you’re realizing that information directly influences your closest relationships. Under this electric sky, don’t be surprised if you learn something unexpected about your best friend or S.O.

You may not like what you hear, crabbie, but try not to fly off the handles. After all, this is ultimately a personal breakthrough: Partnerships are a window into self, so the more you understand the inner workings of these dynamics, the more you understand your personal wants and needs. And that’s a very good thing!

Just two days later, on January 12, Saturn and Pluto form an extremely powerful (and very rare!) link. Saturn symbolizes tradition and authority and Pluto represents transformation and rebirth, so the union of these planets ignites big and little. (The last time these two planets connected was 1982, BTW.) For you, the spirit of this planetary coupling is all about alignment. Whether you’re seeking commitment or closure with a contract or partner, remember that these celestial bodies won’t meet again until 2053. The decisions you make now will impact the next 33 years of your life, so choose wisely!

Of course, all these big deals can be a bit overwhelming. When the Sun moves into Aquarius on January 20, you’ll be ready to retreat into your shell. I mean, who can blame you? You’re just a little hermit crab bb! The next few weeks are all about emotional exploration, and even though you’re no stranger to “the feels,” you’ll make a lot of important discoveries during this time. Your psyche is an ever-expanding landscape, so dive head first into the nooks and crannies of your subconscious realm.

This spiritual work comes to a head on January 24, when the Moon joins the Sun in Aquarius. Under this velvety (and completely dark) sky, considering taking a restorative bath, writing in a journal, or turning off your alarm so you can catch up on some uninterrupted sleep. Lean into the sleepy vibes of this lunation, Cancer love. You need rest, and there’s nothing wrong with that!
