Cancer Weekly Horoscope

This week has a lot to offer you, Cancer. Loving Venus takes center stage on the 30th when she will leave Pisces and your 9th House and will dive into Aries and your 10th House of Career, putting the Universal focus on your professional reputation. This transit will make VIPs look upon you even more kindly than usual, so don’t be scared of putting yourself out there right now, because you’re sure to perform well. Coupled Crabs might find their relationship gets put on hold for a hot minute due to some work obligations, but your success and achievements could work like a total aphrodisiac for the right person. Singles probably won’t have much time for dating during this cycle, but if you happen to link up with someone they will probably be quite impressed with you and all your achievements.

Venus continues to play an important role on the 2nd, when she will align with magical Neptune for their annual conjunction, marking the first time this has happened in Aries and your career sector since the 1800s. With Venus in this territory, your love life is tied up more than ever with your goals, so you are likely to be noticed by some important people, be they romantic or not. Perhaps someone with a lot of power acknowledges just how hard you’ve been working, or perhaps you get turned on to a new opportunity by someone who has romantic connections to you. You might also feel that romance has been put on the backburner at the expense of your work, which could bring some issues into sharper focus. On a more positive note, you could gain some glowing reviews or even receive a lovely reward for a job well-done. It’s your time to shines, so go on and shine.

Sunday features a Half Moon in Leo and your money-minded 2nd House, reminding you not to get too far from reality in your search for success. Yes, it is a wonderful thing to dream about all the possibilities floating out there in the Universe, but unless you deal with the realities in front of you you’ll never be able to get to the excitement waiting beyond them. Take some time to get centered and make sure you’re where you need to be in terms of work and finances, and if something isn’t correct then you need to focus on doing some recalibration.

This same day alchemical Pluto, currently rotating through Aquarius and your intense 8th House of Sex and Shared Resources, turns retrograde for the next five months. Pluto is a very powerful planet, even if it is rather small and floating far, far away; it deals with the very depths of our souls, the most power-hungry parts of us, and where we go to assert ourselves in meaningful ways. With Pluto going into sleep mode it’s time to look inside yourself and take a good hard look at how your desires and your deepest urges guide the decisions you make. You might not necessarily like what you find, but you need to excavate these things in order for there to be healing and transformation, which is the ultimate purpose of Pluto.
