Cancer Weekly Horoscope

This week has a rather fantastical yet comforting vibration to it. Wednesday features a powerful Half Moon in Libra, reminding each and every one of us of the need for balance and peace both within ourselves and on a global scale. This lunar phase will illuminate your 4th House of Home and Family, so it’s more than likely you’ll find yourself in something of a nesting mood. A few touches here and there could do wonders to make you feel more at home, so whether that means just moving around some of your throw pillows or indulging in a whole new redecorating scheme, go ahead and get creative.

Next, come the 4th, Venus and Uranus will align for their once-a-year conjunction in Taurus, putting the focus on your 11th House of Social Groups and Global Communities. This is a moment to enjoy yourself with the people in your life, and since Uranus brings surprises you would be wise to say yes to any last-minute invitations that come your way. As Venus happens to rule romance as well, you could possibly meet someone who totally grabs your attention while you’re out and about with friends.

Only a few hours later, however, Venus will leave Taurus and your 11th House, after having been on tour since early June, and fly into Gemini and your 12th House of Fantasy and the Subconscious for the next four weeks. This is the time to clear your mental decks of any old baggage or toxic behavior that might be getting in the way of your relationship status. That way, when Venus enters your sign, you’ll be in perfect shape to receive her beautiful bounty, but until then, put on some rose-colored glasses and see where the wind might take you. That being said, it’s easy to get carried away with the fantasy, so remember that if something seems too good to be true, then it probably is.

Also on the 4th, Neptune will turn retrograde in Aries and your 10th House of Career and Professional Reputation, and will remain so for nearly the entire rest of the year. During this time you can better acclimate your goals to your spiritual needs and beliefs, so if you’ve been putting in a lot of effort for a cause or business you don’t necessarily believe in, this cycle is going to ask you to change tact because if you aren’t aligned spiritually with your ambitions, then they will rarely provide you with desirable results. It’s worth noting that Neptune will back up into Pisces and your adventurous 9th House in October for one final visit, so a few old themes may come back around for a final look-see.
