Tue Jan 14 04:10:00 UTC 2025: ## National Quitter’s Day Highlights Cancer’s Struggle with New Year’s Resolutions
**NEW YORK, NY – January 12, 2024** – While many Americans make New Year’s resolutions, a significant number fail to stick to them. This year, National Quitter’s Day, celebrated on the second Friday of January, highlights this common experience. According to astrologer Reda Wigle, one zodiac sign, Cancer, is particularly susceptible to abandoning their resolutions.
Wigle explains that Cancers, ruled by the moon and prone to emotional fluctuations, excel at initiating change but struggle with consistency. This year, the retrograde of Mars in Cancer until late February further exacerbates this challenge, diminishing drive and focus. Mars retrograde, she notes, reduces overall motivation and makes it more difficult to achieve goals.
“Cancers will be feeling the effects of Mars retrograde most acutely,” Wigle states, advising Cancers to delay setting serious goals until after the spring equinox on March 20th, when Mars will be direct and the energy of Aries season can provide a more supportive environment.
The article also mentions that in 2023, the average New Yorker abandoned their resolutions after just 89 days, emphasizing the widespread difficulty of maintaining New Year’s commitments. The statistic underscores the relevance of National Quitter’s Day and the astrological perspective offered on the challenges many face in achieving their goals. Wigle’s advice provides a lighthearted yet insightful look at the astrological influences on personal resolutions.
