Today’s Cancer Horoscope:
While there are a number of different themes in play today they boil down to two camps. On the one camp, you have a turning point on the social front that is adding even more resources to the support for friendship and relationship building that has been increasing over the last few days. There is nothing fleeting about this and more a taste of things to come. The same is true in the other camp, where the Moon’s return to your financial sector will give you your first read on the resources assembled to help you take your financial power back.

Cancer Weekly Horoscope
A combination of a drop in urgency on both the job and career fronts, without taking away from the momentum gained and a growing focus on personal and professional networking, friendship and relationship building, shifts the dynamics fairly dramatically this week. When Mars finally left your career sector and returned to your friendship sector last Thursday and Venus finally left your work sector and returned to your relationship sector over the weekend, they were both overdue. Both were held back by retrograde phases last year and never spent any time in your friendship or relationship sectors in 2020 so are ready to make up for lost time. They have already aligned over the weekend and a New Moon on Wednesday will give this new era for friendship and relationship building a further boost. It is a day later that the Moon will be giving you an intuitive read on money matters and on the planets that are set to make 2021 the year for taking your financial power back.
Cancer Monthly Horoscope
There is a bit of everything this month though the major theme is Jupiter and Saturn’s return to your financial sector just before Christmas and the major opportunity this has created to take your financial power back. This doesn’t have to happen overnight, for with Saturn here until 2023 and Jupiter spending the first and the last five months of 2021 here, this is less an event and more a shift. In their first full month, before Jupiter draws ahead to promote financial growth, this is a coming together of the planet of luck and expansion’s sense of what’s possible and Saturn’s resolve to do whatever it takes for as long as it takes. They will be joined by Mercury, who will return to your financial sector on 9th January for what should be a 14 to 15 day visit aimed at giving you the smart head for money needed to make smart financial choices, decisions and plans, especially when it comes to more mundane money matters. Instead, a retrograde turn on 31st January will keep Mercury here until March. Mercury will be here throughout the Sun’s month long visit, which begins on 20th January and while Venus, the planet of money is here next month. Meanwhile, Venus not only begins the month in your work sector but is supporting Mars in his final days in your career sector. The Moon will form a friendly aspect to both when it returns to your income sector on New Year’s Day and before leaving on 3rd January, creating an auspicious start to the month across the income, work and career fronts. While Mars will leave on 7th January and Venus on 9th January, they both leave behind forces that can keep the momentum going and the Moon will repeat those same conditions when it comes full circle on 28th January. This time it will be to create the first Full Moon of 2021, in your income sector on 29th January.

Cancer Character
Those of the star sign Cancer can be very difficult people to become acquainted with. They can be profoundly perceptive, devoted and emotional – being very attached [READ MORE] to and caring intensely of home and family affairs. Cancer folk are very perceptive and sensitive of the pain and anguish experienced by others, and will shoulder compassion towards them.
Like Pisces and Scorpio, Cancer is of the element water. They are as such heavily influenced by the emotions within their heart, which can give rise to them being detached from the surrounding world. With their planetary ruler being the Moon, the lunar phases afflicts upon Cancer folk sudden transitory emotions which they have no control over. This adds further turmoil to their already heightened emotional state, all as if they (and their family and friends) didn’t already have enough to contend with.
During adolescences, those of the Cancer sign need to be nurtured with care and compassion, same as they generously afford to others, as they lack the capability to cope and safeguard themselves. If they are reared without sufficient love or patience, it could later in life result in unpredictably in their mood, and self-centered or selfish behavior. Their compassionate nature renders them speedy to support others, and equally speedy to retreat in conflict. When Cancer folk do decide to stand up to a fight, they often grossly miscalculate their foe, picking a fight with someone much stronger than they realized. If the Cancer sign has made sound choices in their life, then they can be very happy and content with an harmonious home and a loving family. [READ LESS]
Cancer and Friendship
Cancer folk will happily engage with new people, but will however seem distant and avoiding of those that they believe their family will not approve of. They [READ MORE] immediately hold respect for people they have just met and are able to communicate freely. This is due largely to their intuitive and compassionate personality, which means they can initially connect with a person at an emotional level, as opposed to an awkward, curious and superficial question-and-answer exchange. Cancer mostly enjoy social interaction within intimate surroundings such as at home, where they can feel more secure, in control, and where they can be more perceptive. Their downside is that their compassionate, intuitive and emotional nature can be a challenge for pragmatic people to understand. [READ LESS]
Cancer and Family
Of all the signs in the zodiac, Cancer are the most deeply caring of family relationships and of the home. Being intensely sentimental in character, they will be [READ MORE] ‘the’ family member that fondly perpetuates the memories of family, often by keeping extensive photo collections, maintaining a family tree, or organizing family get-togethers and reunions. If they have achieved contentment and security within their own life, then they can make for wondrous and deeply caring parents, always in sync with the emotions of their children even after they’ve grown up and moved out of home.
