Today’s Cancer Horoscope:
The Sun’s departure from Cancer yesterday brought your birthday month to a close and nearly all planetary activity in your sign for the year. Mercury, the last planet to return to Cancer this year and the last to leave is here for another four days, which is just enough time to tie up the loose ends of any choices, decisions and plans for the coming year but not enough time to overthinking things. It is from next week that Mercury will follow the Sun into your income sector and into the evolving dynamics across the income, work and career fronts.

Cancer Weekly Horoscope
The final days and right down to the final hours of your birthday month provide a window into what you can expect from the coming year and the rich diversity of life ahead. The stars themselves were always going to put the focus on all things adventurous but also on the opportunities evolving across the income, work and career fronts but also on the friendship and relationship building fronts as well. This was going to happen anyway, partly because the Moon is giving each of these areas of your life a boost over the course of the week. What makes the difference is that it is happening during the final days of your birthday month, just as you are forming your impressions of and cementing your expectations for the coming year. The one dark horse is on the financial front, where the weekend’s Full Moon will announce an increase in power on both sides of the financial fence, just a day after your birthday month ends.
Cancer Monthly Horoscope
There is a mix of the expected and the unexpected this month, along with a few instances of perfect timing. The expected is that the Sun will always spend the first three weeks of July in Cancer, bringing you to your birthday month and new solar year. The Sun has been in Cancer for 10 days by the time you move into the new month but your birthday month began with an incredible head start. The Sun returned to find Venus in Cancer but also that Mars had just left nine days earlier. This not only gave your heart a voice from the start but gave you the courage, drive and motivation to follow where it leads. While your birthday month continues Venus and Mars have moved on and are working with the planets on the job and career fronts to make this one of the most potentially lucrative months of the year. Last year Venus didn’t return to your income sector until August and Mars didn’t return at all but they have joined forces to get things moving on the income front. While the Sun will return to your income sector on 23rd July and Mercury on 28th July, it is Venus and Mars that can get things moving without being bogged down by overthinking things. With Jupiter retrograding back in to rejoin Saturn in your financial sector on 29th July, this will put a lot of focus on both sides of the financial fence this month. However, while this will continue to be the case neither Venus nor Mars will end the month in your income sector. Instead, Venus will leave and return to your communication sector on 22nd July and Mars on 30th July. Where they have spent the majority of the month declaring war on glass ceilings, Venus and Mars will shift that focus onto a war against communication barriers. Meanwhile, while this is a good month across the income, work and career fronts, with Jupiter in an adventurous part of your chart until 29th July life can’t be all work and no play.

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.
