Cancer Weekly Horoscope

Your focus is shifting this week, Cancer. Come the 29th, Venus will leave Aries and your ambitious 10th House of Career where she has been rotating since the beginning of the month and move on to Taurus and your social 11th House of Global Networks and Friendships. After orienting so much attention to your achievements and obligations, you’ll finally get to pursue a few more pleasurable activities, but whether these are more platonic or passionate remains to be seen. That being said, technology is highlighted under this transit, so if you’ve been holding off on doing some swiping now is the time to start; couples should try and find more ways to make date night not just about the two of you.

The next major transit occurs on the 30th, when action planet Mars packs up and makes moves. The red planet has spent the last six weeks rotating through your 9th House of Adventure and Expansion, which could have seen you spreading your wings in your search for far off vistas and new experiences. Now, however, you get to shift gear as Mars moves into your 10th House of Career and Reputation, pushing you up the great ladder with a fierce new drive. This time only comes around once every two years, so there is an open highway ahead of you, enabling you to reach a new level in life. If you’ve been hoping to make a name for yourself or get your work recognized by someone high up, this is your chance. Don’t waste it!

On the 2nd, Pluto, the transformative alchemist of the zodiac, will turn retrograde for five months of deep inner soul changes. Pluto is currently in Aquarius, but will retrograde back into Capricorn and your 7th House of Relationships for part of this cycle, marking the last time that will happen for several centuries. It’s not always easy to see your part in relationships, and sometimes we rely on others to act as a mirror of ourselves, but during this retrograde phase you must truly examine your side in these matters. Where are you taking and where are you giving? More importantly, is it equal? You should have a good answer by the time Pluto turns direct in five months, so get to work and start excavating.
