Cancer Weekly Horoscope

You get to step into the spotlight right off the bat this week, Cancer. It’s time to put on your thinking cap and start brainstorming on the 1st; Mercury has spent the last couple of weeks slowly spinning through your sleepy 12th House and while he’s been treading ever so slowly it’s been more than a little difficult to find a way to properly formulate your ideas. Whenever any planet happens to be moving through the 12th House it can be hard to get a hold of their powers. Now, however, you can finally start to think clearly as the messenger planet zooms into your sign and your 1st House of Self-Expression and Action for the foreseeable future. During this time, you’ll be a lightning rod for all the gold nuggets of information circulating out in the universe; likewise, if you’ve been chipping away at a project behind the scenes your big debut could be right on the horizon; that being said, Mercury will turn retrograde here for three weeks at the end of the month, so there is no need to rush off into the sunset with your next big idea. Move slowly and carefully until told otherwise.

There may be some unexpected developments on the 2nd when the Sun in your 12th House of the Subconscious reaches out to make a supportive sextile to masterful Saturn in your 10th House of Career, which could bring an important event or interaction on the work front. The Sun is working where you can’t quite see it, so this could result in someone like a guardian angel emerging from the wings to help push you up the career ladder, but it could also be that you are personally working on an important project behind the scenes, but you aren’t ready to unveil it just yet. Don’t worry too much about outward shows or putting yourself on display, because Saturn will make sure that you get the recognition you deserve. The 12th House is also a very creative sector, so let your mind wander and see if you can’t come up with a few brilliant solutions to issues that have been giving you a headache lately. Answers will present themselves.

Last but certainly not least, beware the temptation to push yourself too far or too hard on the 3rd, as Mercury in your sign will square off Neptune in your career sector. Neptune can create confusion and blur boundaries so it could be easy to get wrapped up in matters that don’t concern you, or think you are doing something great when it turns out you are wasting your time. Avoid anything serious or any issues that require you to be on top of your game, because important facts can easily get missed under this particular alignment. You can brainstorm and think creatively, but wait for clearer skies before implementing any new plans or projects.
