Cancer Weekly Horoscope

The energy is taking a turn this week, and it could leave you feeling like the energy of 2025 and 2026 is wildly different right from the start, and not just because the calendar is changing. Come the 30th, Mercury will reach out from Sagittarius and your 6th House of Daily Work to make a square to Saturn in Pisces and your adventurous 9th House of Expansion, which could make you very aware of the limitations or basic responsibilities that keep you from going beyond your usual boundaries. You might feel like you are being held back by red tape, or like you will only ever get to deal with mundane issues when there are so many more exciting possibilities out in the world. Fear not; this energy will only permeate for a day or two, and you will begin to see more options in the future.

However, you might still feel a little confused by what is possible and what is fantasy in the early hours of the 1st, when Mercury reaches out again to square off Neptune this time, also in your boundless 9th House. This is going to inspire you to stretch your muscles and explore your options a bit more, but Neptune is not known for operating in reality so you may have to find a balance between reality and fantasy.

Speaking of Mercury, you’ve been putting in a lot of effort for the last couple weeks while the messenger planet moved through Sagittarius and your 6th House of Daily Work, giving you plenty of things to do, especially since Mercury was retrograde for part of the time. Fortunately, there is a huge shift in energy on the 1st as Mercury waves goodbye to this sector of your chart and dives into Capricorn and your 7th House of Relationships. For the next few weeks, you’re going to be focused on separating the wheat from the chaff as all kinds of opportunities start to present themselves to you. Try and utilize the recent upgrades Mercury gave you as you sort through all your options and you’ll come out of this phase with a much more balanced approach to life. Since this phase can also have a romantic vibe to it, this is a good time for dating or for putting more emphasis on your relationships, especially if romantic matters got put on the backburner while you’ve been dealing with other things recently.

You get to put yourself and your desires front and center on the 3rd, when the skies will shine with a fabulous Full Moon in your own sign and 1st House of Action and Self-Expression. This is one of the most potent times of the year for you, so you have cosmic clearance to go after pretty much anything your heart desires at the moment. Whatever it is, put it out into the universe and I’m sure the universe will answer your call. Look back six months to any seeds you might have planted in the summer; what is ready to come to fruition?
