Cancer Weekly Horoscope

This week is not a simple one, Cancer, so don’t be shocked if the days ahead seem to ask a lot of you; still, that doesn’t mean there won’t be opportunities for pleasure along the way! First, on the 26th, the Sun in Scorpio and your fun-loving 5th House of Passion and Creativity will square off against alchemical Pluto in Aquarius and your secretive 8th House of shared Resources and Intimacy, which could make it feel like you want to keep to yourself, even when everyone else wants you to stand center stage and show off. You might find you go from feeling like you can make leaps and bounds one moment, to feeling very confined the next, but this feeling of confinement probably won’t last long, since the Sun moves at a relatively quick pace. If you are of the artistic bent, then this energy could actually help you create something really special that comes from deep in your psyche, so while the overhead energy is a bit intense, that doesn’t mean you can’t find ways to use it to your advantage.

Also on the 26th, the skies will glow with the annual Full Moon in Taurus, illuminating your 11th House of Social Networks and Global Communications. Look back six months to the seeds you planted at the Taurus New Moon; what is ready for harvest? Chances are you could find yourself becoming part of a group you truly identify with, or helping to shoulder a cause you truly believe in. There are new opportunities coming, so keep an eye out because you won’t want to miss them; that being said, remember that the ruler of this Full Moon, Venus, is currently retrograde, as is Mercury, so there is a big emphasis on returning to groups and organizations you are already familiar with.

Speaking of retrograde Mercury, it will square off against Mars in Leo and your 2nd House of Earned Income on the 30th, which could create a bit of financial stress. You may be tempted to throw your money around in an effort to enjoy life a bit more, but the process could wind up costing more than you’d anticipated, so don’t go overboard and blow your budget in the process!

Sunday winds down with 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. Get centered and make sure you’re where you need to in terms of work and finances, and if something isn’t correct then focus on recalibration.
