Cancer Weekly Horoscope

The energy is changing this week, Cancer, although it seems to be taking a turn for the pleasant as far as your own personal forecast is concerned. Rebellious Uranus takes center stage on the 3rd; the planet of surprise has spent the last five months in retrograde motion, but on Tuesday will finally be waking up in Taurus and your 11th House of Global Communications and Networking, once again ready to bring some major changes to your social life. It might not feel like an overnight shift, but in the weeks to come you might find your group of friends or the association you belong to start to change and shift, albeit more in your favor. This could also help you find new groups or clubs you want to join, ones that help you learn more about yourself in the process, so remember the adage that no person is an island and you’ve got the right idea. It is worth mentioning, however, that this is the last time Uranus will turn direct in Taurus this century, as soon it will enter Gemini, not to return to the sign of the Bull for about eighty years. Make the most of these changes while you can.

This week continues with a potent and can’t-miss alignment on the 5th when messenger Mercury forms a tense square with shocking Uranus. Mercury is currently orbiting through Aquarius and your uber-intense 8th House of Shared Resources and Deep Bonding, so you’re in a serious mindset, but Uranus is in pleasure-loving Taurus and your social 11thHouse, encouraging you to play it fast and lose. Even if you want to focus on important matters, it looks as though you could get a call or message from someone far away that totally takes you off your chosen path. With Uranus in the picture it is impossible to say just what exactly is coming down the pipeline, but it is safe to say you won’t expect it when it arrives. Be ready and be flexible, because the results could be well worth your efforts.

Now then, have things been feeling a little intense lately? Have you had to deal with a lot of extreme financial matters that took the wind out of you? If the answer is ‘yes’ it wouldn’t be all that surprising, but I am happy to tell you that the mood majorly lightens under the stars of the 6th. For the last couple of weeks, you have hosted Mercury in your 8th House, which is just about the most intense sector of the zodiac. This energy changes, however, as Mercury waves goodbye to Aquarius and jumps into Pisces and your boundless 9th House of Foreign Cultures and High-Ideals. It’s time to turn towards the world and discover all that it has to offer, because there is a great deal waiting for you. This would be a terrific time to make travel plans or consider furthering your education, so don’t limit yourself or your horizons. This will be an extended tour, however, as Mercury will turn retrograde here on the 26th, so don’t think you need to push too far all at once, or you may wind up getting lost along the way.
