Today’s Cancer Horoscope:
At the same time that the month long wind down of your old solar year will always call for time to reflect, having Venus not only in the same nostalgic and reflective part of your chart as the Sun but in retrograde motion, is making this less of a chore. This, combined with the fact that you have Mars in an adventurous part of your chart, is encouraging you to work less and play more. It is while the professional gods are catching their breath before their next move that you have a chance to do the same.

Cancer Weekly Horoscope
While your birthday month and new solar year is still three weeks away, Mercury’s first full week in Cancer is a chance to get a jump on this. Mercury only returned last Friday but already it is dawning on you that even just this taste of things to comes feels a lot more relaxed. Missing is both the pressure and urgency, for instead of rushing through in just 14 to 15 days, Mercury is here for the next two months. Missing are the roadblocks of the past while having Mars in an adventurous part of your chart has you excited about the journey ahead. Meanwhile, with the month long wind down of your solar year still underway and with Venus in retrograde motion in a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart, there is a general call to slow down and pace yourself. This might see some push back to an eclipsing Full Moon in your work sector just as you move into the weekend but even here there is a lack of urgency.
Cancer Monthly Horoscope
This is a month when the lines between the past, present and future are set to become even more blurred and not just because of the number of planets in retrograde motion this month. As well as Jupiter spending his first full month in retrograde motion in your relationship sector you have Saturn in his first and only full month in retrograde motion in your financial sector, Venus in retrograde motion in a nostalgic part of your chart until 25th June, Mercury turning retrograde in Cancer on 18th June and Neptune in an adventurous part on 23rd June. Yet where old doors are opening, in many cases new doors are opening as well. When Neptune turns retrograde in an adventurous part of your chart on 23rd June he will turn his attention and your imagination onto the past, with a chance to reflect on the bucket list you began the year with. Often this is more a case of wishful thinking but with Mars here until 28th June, his passion for adventure makes it hard to be an armchair tourist in your own life. With Mars not only returning to your career sector on 28th June but spending the whole second half of the year here, he will be anxious to do what he can to ensure life doesn’t become all work and no play. For while you will have to wait four weeks for Mars’ return, a lunar eclipse on the job front on 6th June will get the month off to a good start professionally. Another example of where both new and old doors are opening at the same time is on the personal front. Mercury will turn retrograde in Cancer on 18th June, just three days before your birthday month and new solar year are due to begin on 21st June. However, the Sun won’t be on his own, with the Moon not only returning a few hours later but aligning to create a solar eclipse in the first day of your birthday month and new solar year. A solar eclipse can open new doors or bring unexpected new beginnings, at a time when Mercury is just one of many planets holding the doors open to the past and second chances.

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.
