Cancer Weekly Horoscope

Your focus is shifting this week, Cancer, but it is shifting in a very productive and even lucrative direction, with the first move occurring on the 22nd, setting you up for some very exciting moments ahead. On this day the mighty Sun blasts out of your sign after a four-week tour and jumps into Leo and your 2nd House of Income and Material Wealth. This transit is like a cosmic calling card from the universe to get your financial ducks in a row and start prepping for new opportunities to come your way; whether you’re aiming for a pay raise or an entirely new job, this cycle is the time to make it happen. You may also decide to spend a bit more and invest in yourself and your general comfort, so this wouldn’t be a bad time to check out seasonal sales and see if you can find a few things you’ve been wanting for an improved price; think quality over quantity in the weeks ahead and you won’t go wrong.

It is true, however, that you’ve had it a bit more difficult lately than the other signs, and that’s because you’ve been hosting the current Mercury retrograde in your sign and your 1st House. With the cosmic communicator taking a very long nap in your sign, it’s only too easy to feel completely out of sync with just about everyone you come into contact with, be it professional or romantic or otherwise, but the good news is that this transit comes to an end on the 23rd as Mercury wakes up and surges forward once again. It’ll take the messenger planet a little bit of time to get back up to his regular speed (the zodiac equivalent of some morning yoga and a few cups of coffee) but once he does, know that you’re going to have plenty of star power pushing you ahead to the future. You can finally get clear on the things you want, so go ahead and do that.

The 26th will bring your attention back to professional matters, but it shouldn’t come as too much of a shock or feel overwhelming. Karmic mastermind Saturn will be turning retrograde in Aries and your 10th House of Career and Reputation, and will be backing up through this territory until mid-December. Over the next few months you’re going to need to put in more work behind the scenes, most likely refining and strengthening projects and plans of actions which you have already begun. If you take your time and make sure everything is in tip-top shape then you’ll emerge from this transit with more power and worth than ever before, but remember there’s no need to rush it. You’ll reach the finish line when you are meant to.
