Cancer Weekly Horoscope

One moment you are ready to blast off from the starting line at full force, Cancer, the next moment you would rather slow down and take it easy. It seems you have been pushing your way up the career ladder lately while warrior Mars has been heating up your 10th House, but you get to change tact on the 18th as the red planet decamps from this professional sector and moves into Taurus and your 11th House of Social Networks for the next six weeks. Instead of constantly working towards an undefined future in uncertain times, it is now the Universe’s M.O. that you kick back and enjoy yourself a bit. Mars is the planet of action, the planet of go-go-go, but in this easy-going sector he isn’t going to be pushing you to make a name for yourself, but rather to make sure you’re not overexerting yourself, and getting the self-care and satisfaction you need. With all the strangeness in the world, use this time to reconnect with those near and far the best you can; you never know, with Mars kicking up dust here you might come across an opportunity that wings its way to you because of someone you know.

Also on the 18th, alluring Venus will leave Gemini and your nebulous 12th House of the Subconscious where she has been rotating for the last four weeks, and make her way into Cancer for her annual visit. Love has probably been more than a little confusing recently, but now it will be possible for you to get a clear grasp on it as Venus settles down in your sign and your 1st House of Self-Expression for the next month. Use this time to hit the restart button on your love life and start fresh with someone special, be they new or already by your side, but there are also practical, non-romantic benefits to this cycle. Venus rules aesthetics, so if you’ve been considering trying out a new hairstyle, giving your wardrobe an overhaul, or even getting some new ink, Venus will help make sure you love the results.

Last but not least, the energy takes a turn for the slow and sleepy on the 20th as the Sun wraps up its journey through Taurus and your outgoing 11th House and dives into Gemini and your sleepy 12th House of the Subconscious. For the next thirty days, the Universe wants you to focus on weeding out any unnecessary aspects of your life, be they toxic people, negative habits, or anything else that might be holding you back. You need to get rid of these things so that when the Sun blasts into your sign next month you’ll be ready with open arms to receive all the incredible bounty life is planning to bring your way. For now, however, remember that less is more and instead of trying to start new projects, focus on bringing them to completion instead. That’s where your satisfaction will lie for the time being.
