Cancer Weekly Horoscope

There is time for work and time for play this week, Cancer, so know that you can have a little bit of everything, with plenty of chances to make progress and plenty of opportunities to kick back and relax once all is said and done. Messenger Mercury has spent the last couple of months on tour through Pisces and your boundless 9th House of Expansion and Adventure, turning your attention to all the possibilities floating out in the great wide yonder, but it may have been rather difficult to make proper use of them because Mercury was retrograde for part of that extended cycle, throwing a few wrenches in the works and leaving you high and dry when you’d rather be off exploring beyond the horizon.

On the 14th, however, the mood shifts as the communicator planet wings his way into Aries and your professionally ambitious 10th House of Career Goals and Reputation for the next couple of weeks, helping you bring new ideas and projects to fruition. This is wonderful for Cancers looking for new professional opportunities, or to capitalize on what you are already working on, and since Mercury can give you a silver tongue and make you that much more clever, this would be a great time to schedule any presentations or interviews that could prove pivotal to your future goals. Likewise, any ideas or new projects you come up with now could turn out to be worth their weight in gold, so put your thinking cap on!

This ambitious energy continues to vibrate throughout the skies on the 17th, when the heavens host the annual Aries New Moon, setting off a fresh wave of energy in your 10th House of Career. This will offer you a chance to make some important changes to your professional path, so if you’ve been spinning your wheels lately without making progress, it is time to finally start taking back control and gaining some ground. This lunation happens to be making an important conjunction to healing Chiron, so whatever new projects or goals you embark on in the coming weeks could prove especially satisfying and fulfilling in the long term, and help you leave behind any insecurities or sensitivities regarding your professional output.

Now then, despite all this ambitious energy, there is a significant change in the wind over the weekend as the Sun slips out of your ambitious 10th House and moves into Taurus and your outgoing 11th House of Social Groups and Global Communications on the 19th. For the next four weeks people will prove their worth, and you can be sure this will include a few new acquaintances so keep your eyes open for potential collaborators. This same sector rules your hopes and dreams, so if there is something truly special to you that you’ve been working towards for a long time, then there is plenty of possibility that it could come to fruition in the next several weeks.
