Cancer Weekly Horoscope

You should feel more at home this week, especially on the 18th, messenger Mercury moves into Libra and your foundational 4th House of Home and Family. For the last few weeks the cosmic communicator has been moving through Virgo and your 3rd House of Local Community and Communications, but now it’s time to hang up the ‘do not disturb’ sign as Mercury slips into the very base of your chart. For the duration of this cycle, you’ll be operating from your home more so than you might have already, but with the vibrations overhead you’ll feel right at home, pun not intended. This is a great time to host a few get-togethers at yours as well, and spend time with people who feel like family, so don’t be shy about getting out the welcome mat.

The next planetary shift occurs on the 19th when romantic Venus moves on from Leo and your 2nd House of Income and Material Wealth, and slips into expressive Virgo and your vocal 3rd House, where she’ll be operating for the next four weeks. During this heart-warming period, you can express yourself without reserve, and in turn people will be more willing to open up after the mercurial last few months. You can finally get on the same page as someone, so don’t be scared to start with a blank one. This is also especially good if you’re involved in any sort of writing or communication work, as your words will be especially pleasing now and you’ll be able to charm others easily with your thrilling use of language.

This Virgo energy will come to a head on the 21st, when the skies host a special Virgo New Moon, which is not only the second Virgo New Moon we’re experiencing in a row—the first was back in August—but is also a major Solar Eclipse, meaning it is way more powerful than any normal New Moon. You may receive some interesting information in the days and weeks to follow, or find yourself engaging in new conversations with new people that prove very pivotal. If there has ever been a time to get out and about and see what is happening, it would most certainly be in the wake of this lunation.

However, you may want to take it slow on the 21st, as this day also hosts the once-a-year opposition from the Sun to sober Saturn, currently in Pisces and your 9th House of Expansion and Higher Learning. On this particular day, you might well feel like it’s impossible to get your ideas across, or perhaps you feel that all your efforts have been in vain, or perhaps that you simply don’t understand all the things you thought you did. While it’s good to evaluate yourself sometimes, don’t let this energy drive you off the deep end; it’s only temporary and you can be introspective and decide you need to make a change without throwing your whole life into upheaval.
