Today’s Cancer Horoscope:
There is something about today’s adventurous lunar vibes that are acting as a circuit breaker, especially after the week got off to a challenging start. Having the Moon align with dreamy Neptune in an adventurous part of your chart during Venus’ last full day in a nostalgic part and especially with Neptune in retrograde motion, is a chance to massage your mind, imagination and stress levels. This is inviting you into your imagination, into a nostalgic trip down memory lane and an escape from reality.
Weekly and Monthly Cancer Horoscopes:
Cancer Weekly Horoscope
Tensions might be running high at the start of the week, compounded a Full Moon that for a Moon ruled Cancerean will always create even strong emotional responses. This makes it important to avoid buying into any overreactions, especially to any personal and/or relationship tension or to any financial tension, while still paying attention to the message. In both cases, that message is likely to be about balance, with Mercury spending his final days in Cancer opposed to all three planets in your relationship sector while a Full Moon in your financial sector on Tuesday opposes the Sun in your income sector. This will see your personal and relationship needs clash at the same time that there is tension between money coming in and money going out. However on Wednesday, within the space of 64 minutes everything will change. It begins with the Moon’s departure from your financial sectors, with Mercury returning to your income sector 64 minutes later to catch financial tension as it falls, turning it into motivation.
Cancer Monthly Horoscope
Throughout the whole of your birthday month and the majority of July things stagnated. In any given month the Sun will always move from one area of your chart to the other, Venus and Mercury will change signs at least once and Mars once every other month. However, the latter three have either already spent time in retrograde motion or are preparing to, spending months rather than weeks in an area of chart. Venus, Mercury and Mars all ended July where they started and as the Sun spent the final 10 days of your birthday month in opposition with all three planets in Capricorn, this may have put a dent on your confidence. Yet from the get go August is a very different month and you will be able to feel this from the get go. Until Mercury leaves Cancer on 5th August there might still be some pressure as he too moves into opposition with all three planets in your opposing sign Capricorn but as he is a lot faster than the Sun and because he looks at things more objectively, this won’t have last month’s heavy connotations. If this does create any personal and/or relationship tension, as the planet of communication Mercury is on hand to ensure the communication lines are open. It is then that Mercury will join the Sun in your income sector and with Mars in the second month of his longest visit to your career sector in 32 years and the South Node in your work sector, this is the start of the most exciting months of the year across the income, work and career fronts. In the meantime, held back by a retrograde phase that has kept her in a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart for the last four months, Venus will finally return to Cancer on 8th August to give your heart a voice. Venus will eventually face the same clashes the Sun and Mercury faced but not until the very end of the month and into early September. Fortunately, by then the Sun and Mercury will be in your communication sector by then.

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.
