Cancer Weekly Horoscope

You may feel rather swept off your feet this week, Cancer. The primal Sun is spinning through Virgo and your buzzy 3rd House, and come the 19th it will oppose with Neptune, currently on an extended tour of Pisces and your adventurous 9th House, where it is busy redefining your relationship with the world at large and people who come from different background than yourself. This same sector also rules higher-education as well as spirituality, so you might find yourself asking some deep questions. Perhaps you decide it’s time to return to school to increase your knowledge, or you find that a deep longing to learn more about the world around you reaches a crescendo and you decide it is time to become an armchair explorer. Neptune is all about fantasy, so give yourself permission to trek a trail that is anything but tried and true.

The stars make some noise on the 21st, as the Sun forms a powerful trine to alchemical Pluto in Capricorn in your relationship sector. You might have some powerful communication with a partner or someone special; if things aren’t working out between the two of you, however, this could signal a moment to go your separate ways. This is one of the most powerful and potent alignments in all of astrology, so you can expect something major to happen hereabouts on this day. That being said, it is a positive alignment, so as long as you maintain a semblance of self-awareness and don’t expect too much from anyone, there isn’t any reason you can’t use this to your proper advantage.

It appears you’ve been on something of a social whirlwind for the last month while the Sun has been touring your chatty 3rd House of, but there is a huge shift in the energy overhead as the Sun waves goodbye to this busy part of your chart on the 2rd and slips into pleasure-loving Libra and your 4th House of Foundations. The next month is really about nesting and tending to matters on the home front, as opposed to spending all your time focused on working your way up the career ladder or chasing after someone who gets a fire burning in you. That being said, you can still find ways to be efficient at home, perhaps by turning part of your living room into a home office or asking your boss for a few more work-from-home days a week. Romance doesn’t have to be completely kaput either; how about you do a few things to add some flare to Chez Cancer? A few nice candles and some silk sheets can go a long way to making you feel more in touch with your sensual side during an otherwise toned-down cycle.
