Today’s Cancer Horoscope:
When the Sun leaves your communication sector tomorrow this will end all planetary activity on the communication front but not before months of planetary activity have already made their impression. While the Sun has only been here for a month, it was Mars’ return in July that got the ball rolling, when the warrior planet of the cosmos returned for the first time in two years to declare war on communication barriers. Since then Mercury and Venus, the planets of communication and love have moved through, with the Sun rounding things off in an effort to keep things real and authentic.
Weekly and Monthly Cancer Horoscopes:
Cancer Weekly Horoscope
To get into the week proper and especially the busiest part of the week you have to first get past a Full Moon that is presenting an alternative approach to not just the coming week but to life itself. The Moon not only begins the week in an adventurous part of your chart but in the lead up to becoming a Full Moon will form a friendly aspect to Venus, 10 days after her return to a playful part. With the final three months of the year likely to be the busiest, this is a serious attempt to find the right balance between work and play. This is a Full Moon that falls in an adventurous part of your chart at this time every year but rarely is there planetary activity in a playful part at the time for this to team up with. While Tuesday to Thursday will favour job and career matters, when the Moon leaves an adventurous part of your chart on Tuesday it will leave behind a whole new way of looking at life.
Cancer Monthly Horoscope
In the final 10 days of July six planets, including the Sun all shifted position, creating a lot of change that in the process makes this a very different month to July. Even in the areas of your life where things remain the same the dynamics have changed making this an opportunity for a fresh start. There is still planetary activity on both sides of the financial fence but after Mars and Venus left your income sector late last month and Jupiter retrograded back into your financial sector, there is more balance between the two. Jupiter has returned to focus on missed opportunities and untapped financial potential, with a chance to benefit from the housekeeping Saturn forced you to focus on in the planet of luck and expansion’s absence. While this will create competition for the remaining planets in your income sector, with Mercury leaving on 12th August and the Sun on 23rd August, this is the tail end of something that Venus and Mars began back in June. The majority of the momentum that will keep this financial year on the right track was already invested before Jupiter returned with a chance to find a more even balance between money coming in and money going out. This might be a chance to finally catch up, with less money going out but just as much coming in. Meanwhile, another big change was Mercury’s departure from Cancer late last month. Mercury stayed on for another five days after your birthday month ended, with a chance to tie up loose ends. However, as the last planet to leave Mercury was also the last planet to clash with Pluto in your relationship sector, with his departure ending tension between your personal and relationship needs. This month, the same planets that created relationship tension as they moved through Cancer will all spend at least part of and in Mars’ case the whole of August in your communication sector and at a friendly aspect to Pluto on the relationship front.

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.
