Cancer Weekly Horoscope

This week starts off with a wonderful gift for you, Cancer. The 9th features one of the best alignments possible in astrology, when Venus and Jupiter conjoin at the same degree, blending their energies of love and abundance. This time they are meeting up in your sign, something that usually only happens once every dozen years, but this time you’re getting a lucky two-year recurrence after this happened late last summer. That being the case, you’ll want to take as much advantage of this as you can and pursue something that is close to your heart, because this rare conjunction could make magic possible. Whether you’re involved in a romantic connection or chasing your professional ambitions, there has never been a better day to put yourself out there because the cosmos is giving you the golden touch.

Your professional responsibilities might come calling the very next day, as Mercury in your sign forms a tense square to Saturn in Aries and your 10th House of Career Goals and Aspirations. You may feel more limited under this alignment, or like you’re having a difficult time getting your ideas across, but that doesn’t mean it is impossible, simply that it will require a little more effort; the most important thing is to present yourself well and to act with dignity. People have their eye on your one way, what with so many planets currently in your own sign, so even if you aren’t going into an office or wherever it is you might normally earn your paycheck, just know there is something you’re doing (or not doing) which is earning the attention of one VIP or another.

Now then, you might have learned a lot of lessons about love during the last few weeks while romantic Venus toured your sign, or faced some hard truths about a certain relationship, but it’s time to move on from this come the 13th as Venus moves into Leo and your 2nd House of Income and Material Possessions for the next four weeks. This will orient your attention onto matters more tangible than emotional, but after the romantic roller coaster you’ve been on, it’s time to shift your focus. This phase is a great time for increasing your net worth, but it is also great for finding lots of things to spend your money on, so make sure you’re not spending every single dollar as soon as you earn it! A little budgeting will go a long way!

This weekend could feel a bit like a dream, on the 14th when the annual New Moon in Gemini illuminates your sleepy 12th House of Dreams and the Subconscious. New Moons are all about initiation phases, which might seem a little odd given the fact that the 12th House is largely about endings and letting go, but really this is a powerful opportunity for you to do some major healing and detoxing. We’ve gone through a really difficult last few months or so (or years!), and chances are they brought some very stressful experiences to your front door. Use this time to try and cleanse yourself of any anger or resentment that has built up in you, so you don’t carry unnecessary baggage into the future. By the corresponding Full Moon, you can be in a place of terrific mental health.
