Cancer Weekly Horoscope

There is an undeniably intensity to this week, Cancer, so don’t be shocked if it feels like you’re wearing horse-blinders by the time it’s over. You will need to buckle down and get your nose on the money come the 19th, as the Sun blasts into Aquarius and your intense 8th House of Shared Resources and Deep Bonding for its annual visit. Over the next four weeks, issues of what’s yours, what’s mine, and what’s ours could take center stage as you try to get a handle on all the loose strings in your life. If this sounds like an intense phase, well, it is, but the planets are coming together to lend you a helping hand. The 8th House may ask a lot of you, but it is willing to reward you quite amply for the effort you put in, so you can emerge from this cycle with a nice windfall or two if you try. Venus will be conjoining Pluto in Aquarius on this day, too, so the planet of pleasure may bring you quite a nice surprise if you ask nicely.

Fortunately, it shouldn’t be too difficult, as Mercury will follow the Sun’s example the very next day. For the last few weeks you’ve had the messenger planet traveling through Capricorn and your 7th House of Relationships and Contracts; a business matter could have required some renegotiating or a romantic partner could have require more of your attention, for better or for worse. Now, however, your focus shifts as Mercury dives into Aquarius and your intense 8th House until February 6th. During this cycle, you’re going to encounter a lot of issues regarding what’s yours and what belongs to other people. You may even feel a little bit like a detective as you get to the heart of some important issues, but your time and attention will be well worth it.

This theme gets rounded out on the 23rd when red hot Mars will leave Capricorn and your relationship sector and move into Aquarius and your secretive 8th House for the next six weeks. This is going to be an extensive dive into the deepest layers of your psyche, as this transit really encourages you to get into the weeds and do some major exploring of what, exactly, makes you tick. As mentioned above, this realm of your chart deals with shared resources and finances, so be careful about racking up a large credit card bill during this period, and if you have your assets tied up with anyone else’s then they might come into the foreground for discussion before Mars moves on again. That being said, Mars here can give you immense courage to tackle certain issues that may have previously felt overwhelming, so if there has ever been a time to underestimate yourself, it would definitely not be now.
