Today’s Cancer Horoscope:
As Venus, the planet of love moves into her final seven days in your communication sector she was always going to be on a mission to give your heart and your relationships a voice. However, having spent the last two days at a friendly aspect to Jupiter in your relationship sector and now beginning the same friendly aspect to Pluto there. You are now in the final two months of a three year relationship boot camp but with the means to invest in all your relationships and especially your relationship with yourself, with support from Venus the icing on the cake.
Weekly and Monthly Cancer Horoscopes:
Cancer Weekly Horoscope
While the week gets off to a mix of positive and challenging conditions, where there is pressure you will also find opportunity. If there is any pressure at the start of the week it the push back as you come up against one last communication barrier, with a small amount of effort allowing you to push through to enjoy the benefits on the other side. Those benefits include some major support between Venus, in her last full week in your communication sector and all three planets in your relationship sector. Meanwhile Mercury, in his first full week in retrograde motion in a playful part of your chart and Neptune, in retrograde motion in an adventurous part are both under pressure on Monday. This is more a chance to challenge old excuses and with Mars spending the rest of the year in your career sector a reminder that life can’t be all work and no play. You can have it all but only with the right balance.
Cancer Monthly Horoscope
What you want to see in any month, even more so than positive conditions is variety. When there is a lot going on there is less chance for things to become intense and if there are challenges in one part then this can be balanced by positive conditions in another part of your life. Fortunately, you have the best of both in that there is plenty of variety but also a lack of any real challenges. It was Venus’ departure from Cancer last month that not only brought all planetary activity and the launch of your new solar year to a close but took the pressure off the planets in your relationship sector. With Saturn and Jupiter in their first full month in direct motion in your relationship sector and Pluto turning direct here on 5th October, this is a chance to turn away from the personal and/or relationship tension of recent months. However, a drop in tension is one thing but Venus’ return to your communication sector from 3rd October to 28th October completely turns things around. The same planets that Venus was clashing with a month earlier she is now onside with and not only that, just as you move into the most important months of the year on the relationship front. As the planet of love, Venus is on hand to give your heart and your relationships a voice. This comes just as there are some exciting developments in a fun, playful, romantic and creatively charged part of your chart. While Mars’ retrograde turn in your career sector last month will keep him here for the rest of the year, in retrograde motion for the whole of October his hot headed enthusiasm has been replaced with cold headed determination. This allows you to pace yourself and in the process, find a better balance between work and play. For you not only start the month with Mercury in a fun, playful, romantic and creatively charged part of your chart but Juno, the queen of commitment is spending her first full month here in four years.

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.
