Deb's Approximately-12-Days of 2012 Tarot Forecasts: Cancer and the Reversed Sword

Hi, Cancer.
The good news about 2012 is that whatever resistance you were meeting with last year is no more. I refer to resistance from friends, people thought to be friends, exes, foes, higher-ups, family, partners, colleagues, and, well, pretty much the entire universe. It's OK to put the sword down, for certain duels, or perhaps a major one in particular, is/are over.
I didn't say bury your sword forevermore so don't be quick to freak out here. My point is that there is no use fighting circumstances or others, being defiant or defensive, or holding a grudge, especially because your energy is simply not up to it this year. This is not to say that you won't engage in battles or conflicts, just choose them very wisely because, again, your energy is of the essence. Don't waste it. It is not meant to handle nonsense, injustices that aren't going to change anytime soon or ever. And it should not attempt to make sense out of folks who just... well, don't make any kind of sense out of choice.
I think that others will wisen up and refrain from battling with you, anyway. But in the event they don't, do not go out of your way to offer "fighting words" which, at times, come in the form of criticism. I say that because you just aren't in a position to argue, so best not to start arguments. That is, you're not gonna win or change others' minds or goals. You're not gonna be able to change how they feel, either.
This is kind of a "give up" card.
On the other hand, debating may be good for you. That's debating, not chewing someone's head off for not agreeing with you. You'll learn a great deal from those on the other side of the fence.
You can change your own goals and your own mind. A lot of us tend to believe that the opportunities we compete hard, sometimes ruthlessly, for make for the most worthy and valuable and rewarding experiences. Not true, and not true for you. In fact, I believe that your best opportunities this year will be those you don't try too hard to take up, or manifest for yourself. That's not to recommend that you sit on your ass and wait for a response through Craigslist. It's to suggest that you allow yourself to not be overcome by stupid obstacles for once.
If, say, a job or duty or project kinda falls in your lap, even if it's not paying an amazing salary in the beginning, take it. Remember that part of taking up an opportunity is establishing yourself, growth, and making new connections.
Same goes for relationships. Easing into a good one should not be cause for alarm. Often times, we *romantics* tend to idealize love as much as Disney himself, believing that love will not become our reward unless we overcome ridiculous obstacles and defeat an enemy.
But love is no one's reward. It just is. It is everywhere, and it is constant. What you make of it-- accepting or denying it-- is your choice alone. I'd suggest not fighting love, or doing away with a perfectly good thing going for you unless, of course, you feel it is not rooted in love.
So less obstacles for you this year, Cancer. Less bumps in the road. Less humps. Less drama, less stress. Legal battles may become mitigated, delayed, or done away with.
Whatever will you do with yourself now?
I dunno, but figuring out how to 'fight' without harming yourself or others would be a very good idea. Remain amicable. Walking away or talking it out would be great, too, as is taking real good care of your immune system.
