Cancer Weekly Horoscope

This week brings some very interesting developments your way, Cancer. Messenger Mercury has recently been touring Libra and your foundational 4th House, a highly charged and emotional transit that probably found you dealing with lots of energy percolating under your own roof. On the 30th, however, the mood turns into something much more buoyant and exciting as Mercury dives into Libra and your fun-loving 5th House of Passion and Creativity for the next couple of months. This sector deals with all the exciting and romantic aspects of love, very much in the fairy tale fashion, so singles and couples can find pleasurable ways to enjoy this cycle; likewise, this sector also rules your artistic pursuits and letting your imagination run wild, so don’t be afraid to take an unusual approach to old problems right now. This House rewards courage so take a chance and let the Muse inspire you; your creations could turn out to be worth more than you’d ever expect. That being said, there is no need to rush into anything just yet, because Mercury will turn retrograde in this sector for three weeks at the end of October, it can’t hurt to move slowly for the time being.

Your 5th House continues to take center stage later in the week, especially on the 3rd when alluring Venus turns retrograde in this passionate sector. Venus retrograde can put a real damper on your love life, so instead of trying to push ahead with a new fairy tale romance, or trying to reach your happily ever after with a current partner, use this as an opportunity to examine your own desires and the way you pursue romance, and ensure that everything feels like it is progressing as it should. You may have some important realizations around these issues, though bear in mind that Venus will actually back up into Libra and your domestic 4th House at the end of October and will eventually turn direct there in mid-November, so the themes will change in the weeks ahead, but one thing at a time! Keep in mind that Venus retrograde also impacts your finances, so it couldn’t hurt to keep your wallet shut for the time being.

Last but not least, you may notice a bit of a cosmic dust-up on the 4th, when the Sun in Libra and your homey 4th House is going to form its yearly opposition to Saturn, currently spinning through Aries and your professional 10th House of Career and Ambition until April of 2028. Perhaps you have to deal with some last-minute chores at the office when you’re supposed to be helping out a family member, or perhaps a roommate creates some drama when you’re trying to focus on work and it winds up being a total headache and major distraction. Either way, you’re likely going to experience a tug-o-war on this day, so try your best to keep your emotions in check and not blow up anyone’s spot, including your own.
