Cancer Weekly Horoscope

Don’t be surprised if this week feels rather slow or quiet as it opens up, because there won’t be any serious alignments occurring for the first several days, so things can feel rather static at the beginning. However, come the 17th, the sky will be lit up with the balancing Half Moon in Aries and your 10th House of Career and Professional Reputation. This is neither a time for implementing new projects or for harvesting goals, but rather a time to check in with yourself and see where you are on the road to your destiny. If you are hoping for more out of life then it will begin to become apparent, but if you’ve been working hard and are happy with where you are then you at least can give yourself a gold star.

It’s a good week to take things slowly and carefully, especially starting on the 18th, thanks to the fact that messenger Mercury is turning retrograde in Leo and your 2nd House of Income and Material Security, meaning it is time to figure out whether you’re naturally gifted when it comes to managing finances, or if you could really use an inner financial advisor telling you what to do. Try to avoid big spending during this cycle, especially on electronics since those are ruled by Mercury, but in general something that looks like a total bargain could actually be a dud. This sector of your chart prefers quality over quantity, so think with the long-term in mind right now rather than just the impending tomorrow. There’s a good chance that anything appealing could go on sale in a couple weeks and you’ll kick yourself for throwing down the full amount now, so hold off on entering your credit card information until clearer skies appear on the horizon.

Also on the 18th, Mercury will make a supportive and lovely sextile to alluring Venus, currently dancing through Gemini and your dreamy 12th House of the Subconscious. Venus wants to enjoy herself wherever she goes, but you might feel a little overwhelmed or out of sorts at the prospect with Mercury stationing retrograde at the same time. Find easy ways to enjoy yourself, and if Mercury in your money sector gives you the urge to throw your cash around (as Venus loves to do, too) you might want to hold your wallet firmly shut tight, because it could be only too easy to get duped in the process with the planets posited the way that they are. Wait for more clear-sighted skies before you begin throwing your hard-earned cash around.
