Cancer Weekly Horoscope

This week is going to be very exciting for you, Cancer. Come the 9th, loving Venus in Aries and your goal-oriented 10th House of Career will make a special sextile to alchemical Pluto in Aquarius and your intimate 8th House of Shared Resources and Deep Bonding. The 8th House governs big sums of money, so it is possible you may earn a one-time payout for a project you’ve been working on, or receive some other sort of windfall as a result of your efforts. You may also be trying to negotiate a deal or land a line of credit or a loan, and this angle will help you get one that should meet all your needs. Since the 8th House also rules physical intimacy, you may be dealing with the politics of a passionate relationship, which can bring a bit of drama, but it can also bring a lot of rewards your way, as well.

The 10th brings some very lucky energy your way, as abundant Jupiter will turn direct after being retrograde in your sign for the last four months. If all the progress you’ve wanted to achieve this year got shunted to the back burner, the good news is you can finally start to move ahead again with the intention of making your dreams a reality. It won’t occur overnight as Jupiter needs a few weeks to regain his usual speed, but there is indeed a notable change coming in the wind, and it will be very much to your benefit. Jupiter is exalted in Cancer, meaning it expresses itself better in your sign than in any other, so make the most of this fortuitous cycle while you’ve got it, because once Jupiter leaves Cancer mid-summer, it won’t return for about a dozen years.

The 11th arrives with a particular Half Moon in Sagittarius and your 6th House of Daily Work, which might have you feeling as though you’ve left a few too many projects on the backburner. Clear up any clutter, and if there are any areas of your life you’ve let get out of sorts, it’s time to put everything back in its proper place, including yourself.

The 15th witnesses a bit of chaos as retrograde Mercury syncs up at the same degree as warrior Mars. Both these planets are in Pisces and your 9th House of Expansion and Adventure, so you may feel like Mars is pushing you forward to explore new territory, but Mercury is making it difficult to figure out how to move forward without tripping over yourself. The rule with Mercury retrograde is generally to focus on old plans and wrapping up old projects, so if you can find ways to bring outstanding matters to a conclusion, that would be best, but with Mars still pushing you ahead it may be easier said than done. Don’t be shocked if you feel a little burnt out or like you’re in overdrive, but avoid taking a leap of faith right now, because you could wind up somewhere different than you’d hoped, and it won’t prove as exciting as you would like.
