Cancer Weekly Horoscope

This week can feel invigorating one moment, Cancer, then a bit draining the next, so don’t be all that surprised if your energy levels seem to rise and fall at the drop of the hat in the days to come. You should actually feel quite good about yourself and your situation on Monday, the 14th, when red hot Mars in your own sign and 1st House of Action will make a supportive sextile to the Sun in Virgo and your buzzy 3rd House of Local Community and Communications. This will be a wonderful chance for you to break out of any ruts you’ve been in and go out into the world and experience a bit more excitement and color, but you may also find yourself quite busy, so don’t be shocked if everything is moving faster than usual. Hop on the ride and see where it takes you, but know that you can direct this horse and pony show to your own satisfaction if you are willing to take hold of the reins yourself.

Tuesday, the 15th, will usher in a rather more complicated energy as alluring Venus in Scorpio and your fun-loving 5th House of Passion and Creativity will square off against Pluto in Aquarius and your extreme 8th House of Shared Resources and Deep Bonding. The 5th House and the 8th House can both be quite sensual and enjoyable sectors, but in very different ways; the 5th House is all about living life in the spotlight and expressing yourself, while the 8th House is all about secrets and keeping your cards close to your chest, so don’t be shocked if you feel drawn between these two alternatives. Try to find a balance between them and you will be just fine.

Fortunately, Neptune in your 10th House of Career will be making its own helpful sextile to Pluto on the 15th, as well, so you could find someone stepping into the picture on the professional front to lend a helping hand. You may also realize that things aren’t that serious and that you don’t need to constantly push yourself, so remember to be reasonable with yourself, first and foremost.

The 18th arrives with a particular Half Moon in Sagittarius and your 6th House of Daily Work, which might leave you feeling as though you’ve left a few too many projects on the backburner. If the urge to get your life in order strikes, don't be surprised, and don’t fight it either; this energy is the perfect reminder that we must find inner balance before we can find it outside of ourselves. Clear up any clutter, and if there are any areas of your home you’ve let get out of sorts, it’s time to put everything back in its proper place, including yourself.

The 18th also features the annual opposition between Mercury in Libra and your domestic 4th House of Feelings and Foundations, and Saturn in Aries and your 10th House of Professional Ambitions. You may have some important conversations around long-term goals, or feel the need to speak your truth regarding some matters at your place of work. You may have to stand up for yourself or feel like you’re being asked to go above and beyond, but there’s no reason you can’t emerge from this with flying colors if you actually make the effort.
