Cancer Weekly Horoscope

Welcome to a week of unexpected alignments and important changes, Cancer. Warrior Mars is taking the spotlight in the days ahead, and it will make its first important move on Wednesday, the 8th. This red hot planet is currently spinning through Pisces and your 9th House of Foreign Cultures and Enlightenment, which is one of the most boundary-breaking, adventure-seeking, mind-expanding cycles in all of astrology. While this alone would have you chomping at the bit, ready to break free and go explore new territory, the energy will go through the roof as Mars will reach out across the sky and form a supportive sextile with revolutionary Uranus, currently spinning through Taurus and your 11th House of Social Groups and Global Communities. During this alignment, you could come into contact with some new and interesting people who open your world up to fresh and exciting opportunities and ideas you never even considered. If you’ve been thinking about going back to school or signing up for some online courses this is the perfect time to do it; you could find your soul tribe, one you never even knew you were looking for. Likewise, you could decide it is time to travel or broaden your horizons in a literal fashion, and along the way you could wind up finding people who become your chosen family.

The next major transit occurs on the 9th, when Mars packs up its things and departs from your 9th House in order to march into Aries and your 10th House of Career and Reputation, pushing you up the great ladder with a fierce new drive until mid-May. This cycle 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. Likewise, a VIP or other supervisor may be more prone to helping you out, or offering you more chances to show everyone else how capable you are; that being said, Mars can create stress or work for you to do, just as much as it can stir up exciting opportunities, so you will need to put in the effort to see the results, but chances are high that it will all be worth it when everything is said and done. This is no time to rest on your laurels!

You may feel particularly ambitious on Sunday evening, but not entirely sure what to do with this energy, as Mars and Neptune will make an especially rare conjunction, coming together at the same degree of Aries which hasn’t happened since the mid-1800s. Mars wants to push you forward, but Neptune likes to cast a fog over everything, so it can be difficult to tell where you are going or why you even bothered to begin in the first place. If your goals suddenly seem ambiguous or unimportant, just know this confusing time won’t last long, so instead of scratching your head, use it as a chance to become more spiritually and ethically aligned with your future ambitions.
