Cancer Weekly Horoscope

You may feel like enjoying the comfortable side of life as much as possible this week, Cancer, and there really is nothing wrong with that at all, so long as you remember to focus on the comforts and luxuries already in your life, rather than trying to amass new ones, especially any that cost a pretty. Venus and Jupiter are locking into a supportive sextile on the 4th, which is one of the most harmonious alignments there is in astrology; Jupiter is currently in Leo and your 2nd House of Earned Income, helping you attract more resources and money into your life, but also giving you plenty of things to spend them on.

Venus, meanwhile, is retrograde in Libra and your 4th House of Home and Family, so this angle may tempt you to spend quite a bit of cash on refurbishing Chez Cancer into something really special. Normally a splurge would be totally fine during this time, even practically encouraged, but with Venus retrograde, there is a very strong likelihood that you won’t be satisfied with whatever you buy now, and will wind up with buyer’s remorse, so save that shopping cart for later and hit ‘purchase’ in a few weeks if you are still so inclined.

In the meantime, you could use this energy to actually get rid of a few things around the house that no longer suit you; perhaps that coffee table is looking a little tired, or you are tired of looking at the same old armchair day after day (when did it become the unofficial pile for clean-yet-unfolded laundry?) and by selling them off, you could wind up creating a tidy little sum for yourself in return. See where resources you already own may be turned into something even better; a relative or close female friend could help you go through your things and decide what should stay and what should go, so don’t think you need to do this all by yourself.

Fortunately, the 4th also included a rather lovely conjunction when the Sun and Mercury sync up in Scorpio and your passionate 5th House of Pleasure and Creativity, so this would be the perfect time to kick back and let your inner child out to play, considering this sector is all about fun and self-expression. The only caveat here is to not embark on new adventures but rather focus on projects or passions you’ve already begun; Mercury is still retrograde until November 13th, so you’d be wise to stick to what you know, although it wouldn’t be all that shocking if an old flame decided to step into the picture and ask for a bit of attention at the same time.

Last but not least, Mars enters its pre-shadow phase on the 20th for an upcoming retrograde that won’t begin until January, but pay attention to the energy frequencies around you, because Mars will be slowing down now, and so things may seem to move more slowly in general. Don’t be shocked if 2026 seems to crawl to a close!
