We start out this week with the Moon in your sign Cancer - asking everyone to try to be as loving and nurturing as you are. Monday is a good day for you too just as long as you don’t allow the more ‘moody’ side of yourself to come shining through. Monday through late on Thursday night are the last days, and nights, for you to really focus on your ‘hopes, dreams, wishes, and goals’ for your immediate future. When the Sun moves into Gemini (and into your 12th house) on Thursday night - and over the next few weeks - you will feel like you just want to take a well-earned vacation away from stress and other people’s dramas for a little while. The next few weeks are going to be very important for you. This will be a time when you can look back upon your life and evaluate how far you have come since your birthday last year. You are allowed to take a vacation, or at least slow down your personal pace quite a bit, relax and release any past emotional baggage that you do not want to carry around with you anymore. Allow other people to help you. You are a very special Soul who deserves to be loved…just for being you. You are beginning to prepare yourself for your new birthday to come. For this week - focus on your personal ‘hopes, dreams, wishes, and goals’ (write them down too so that you don’t forget) and then allow the Universe to bring some good tidings to you. Patience is important during this period of time Cancer. You shouldn’t have to work hard to get what you want. If you’ve been earning some good karma along the way…it will be time to reap what you’ve sown…thus with the right attitude…each day can be a good day! It’s really time now to Count Your Blessings. 
Cancer weekly horoscopes
Your moods change with the tides. The tides are regulated by the Moon’s energy - thus your ruling planet is the Moon. It’s a very good idea for you to keep a Moon chart so that you will know on any given day what sign the Moon is in - because your emotional self will be flowing with the emotional energy of the sign that the Moon is in. You start out this week with the Moon in Aries giving you the self-empowerment that you need to plant some seeds of success. On Tuesday, the Moon will still be in Aries and Mercury will be going back into direct motion (hooray) helping you to really feel that your life is beginning to move in a more positive direction. On Wednesday, the Moon moves into Taurus (and into your 11th house of your personal ‘hopes, dreams, wishes, and goals’) helping you to focus on the bigger picture of your life. On Thursday the New Moon energy will also be in Taurus helping you to really focus positively on these areas of your life. I would highly suggest that you write a ‘focus list’ of your most important hopes, dreams, wishes, and goals for your future. This New Moon energy will begin to open some positive doors of opportunity for you in your near future. What doors of opportunity would you like to see open for you? Hmmm…write that down, write that down, and write that down too. The skies the limit if you use your creative imagination to attract into your life what is most important to you! On Friday the Moon will move into Gemini - asking you to relax - yes just relax and allow this upcoming weekend to be a relaxing and rejuvenating one for you.
Your personal relationships play a very important role in your life this week. What you feel isn’t working out for your Highest Good is being taken away from your life now and being replaced by something, or someone, much better. This energy can also relate to how someone has been treating you. If this person really desires to stay in your life then you know that things must change. You’re strong desire to be admired, appreciated, loved, respected, and supported for who you are will attract positive opportunities into your life. Those that honestly do these things for you will be very blessed indeed and your relationship with them can only grow stronger. Honesty and Truth within your relationships is paramount now. Single Cancer people can meet a variety of new people who can become long lasting friends. You may even meet someone extra special this week.
Chiron, the energy of healing, has entered into your 9th house of Higher Wisdom, Higher Learning, and Understanding. Those of you who are in college will do very well…especially if you are studying any of the healing arts and sciences. A deep humanitarian feeling has come over you and you should feel that you want to heal, help, and serve others. Chiron will be in your 9th house over the next 8 years - helping you to learn more and intuitively understand more of what other people need from you. Right now the Sun and Mercury are both in your 11th house of your very own ‘hopes, dreams, wishes, goals and also relates to the groups of people you choose to have around you.’ You can be a leader within these groups. They will help you to succeed as you can help them to succeed too. The Full Moon in Scorpio on Wednesday will be shining her bright light into your 5th house of recreation and re-creation. A deep sense of creativity and passion may come over you. You want a relationship that makes common sense to you - a relationship that will grow along with you - one that can be passionate and very secure too. You deserve a good relationship Cancer. You can now be extra picky about who you want to hang around you. After all - you deserve honest, good, secure, and reliable relationships too. If you are blessed to have these kinds of relationships already in your life then you can expect this to be a happy, joyful, and wonderful week for you. Your attitude of gratitude about having these people in your life will bond them even closer to you.
If situations aren’t working out the way that you want them to be…then it’s time to go to plan B. Some of you are trying hard to make something work that isn’t in your own best interests. You have to logically look at the situation and decide what is best for you. You can’t put a round stick into a square hole - it just won’t fit. No matter how hard you try if the situations aren’t fitting together properly then it’s time to move onto something, or someone, else…that will be much better for you. Mercury, the planet of communication, is in retrograde (backwards/introverted) motion until May 11th. Retrograde Mercury is flowing through your 11th house of your own personal ‘hopes, dreams, wishes, and goals’ making you feel that what you had wished for in the past is not what you wish for now. This can be a depressing type of feeling indeed and yet it can help you create your plan B. Mercury is in charge of communications which are going to be quite faulty right now. People may say things to you that just don’t make any sense. You have to really try not to take things too personally right now - especially if you get the messages from a 3rd party. If a friend of a friend tells you something that someone told her friend - and it’s about you - don’t believe it. Unless you get the messages directly from the source then you can assume that there’s been some kind of misunderstanding in the translation along the way. The planet Saturn is also in retrograde motion and is flowing through your 3rd house of communication and friendships - putting a double warning on these kinds of misunderstandings. On a good note Cancer, the Moon (your ruling Star) will be in your sign on Monday starting at 7:39 am and will continue to be in your sign until Wednesday at 11:42 am. These are your best days to accomplish important tasks which are very personal for you. On Wednesday, just before Noon, the Moon moves into Leo which will give you a sense of personal purpose and empowerment too. Again though, be careful of misunderstandings and arguments because they won’t be good for you. If you feel that you need to vent your more crabby side then try to find a positive outlet for your energy. Take a walk (or go running), punch a pillow, or best yet…write in your journal or talk to a special friend that you completely trust. If you try to handle your pent-up feelings all by yourself you may feel like a volcano that is ready to BLOW! Yikes - that’s not good for you or anyone else that might be around you. Take it easy Cancer and always remind yourself that “this too will pass.” Remember once again that if plan A isn’t working…move onto plan B. And also remember that anything that happens during a Mercury retrograde period of time is only temporary.
Your energy is ruled by the Moon. When the Moon changes signs and goes through different phases each month, your energy can change quickly too. The Moon’s powerful energy is known to be very caring, nurturing, and life giving too - and so are you. Because the Moon changes signs every few days…your moods can change quickly too. Now you know why you feel happy for a few days and the next few days a little cranky or blue. If you follow what sign the Moon is in you will understand what parts of you are going to be a bit more emotional too. The New Moon in Aries on Wednesday morning will renew the area of your life regarding your personal reputation and career. This is the perfect time to start anew and allow new doors of opportunity to open for you. Of course with every yang there is a yin and the yin of this week is the fact that Mercury is going into retrograde motion on Sunday through May 11th. Retrograde Mercury will be affecting the area of your chart that relates to your personal ‘hopes, dreams, wishes, and goals’ as well as the groups of people you associate with. You are going to have to be extra patient with the people around you (Ugh…I know) and I believe it would be wise for you to try to keep your personal ideas to yourself (so that no one cuts them down and tries to steal them away from you.) Stay focused Cancer. Never forget how truly loving and valuable you are…no matter what anybody says (or doesn’t say - oh yes, you like to be verbally appreciated too) and no matter what anybody does (or doesn’t do - ah yes, you like you to be supported too.) It’s time for you to be independently focused as well as continuing to be as lovable as you can be. The lessons for you right now are two-fold. 1) Don’t take anything, or anyone, too personally - and - 2) Stay focused while being patient with the people around you. Always, always, always - listen to your intuition.
It’s time for you to shine out in the public eye! Your reputation is important to you. You want to be ‘known’ for what you do - and yet - you have an emotional shy side too. Oh what is a Cancer to do? The biggest challenge for you right now is to stand up and say, “Yes” to your personal success! You don’t have anything to be afraid of. Self-promotion is good for you. You are very creative and unique with what you can do. It’s time for the world to know it. Don’t hide your talents under a bushel barrel or give your talents to only a selected few. Let other people know - all around the world - what you can do! The Moon is your ruling star planet. On Monday the Moon will be in Capricorn, highlighting your relationship with others and attracting those people into your life that can help to positively promote your talents too. On Wednesday the Moon will move into creative Aquarius - helping you to come up with some new and inventive ideas about what you can do. An important self-transformation process will be surrounding you from Wednesday through late on Friday evening. It’s time to come out of hiding and allow your true talents to shine! Starting on Friday night, when the Moon moves into Pisces, you will enjoy intellectual and metaphysical conversations with people who can help you expand your life in many ways. You want to know about the meaning of your life and the purpose you have here. You can also receive the answers you are seeking through meditation, yoga, or just walking in nature by yourself. Keep your mind and heart open to many positive possibilities that are being attracted into your life now. A Higher education awaits you. The more you desire this education -the more success you will attract into your life in the near future.
When you are feeling unappreciated and unloved - you can be quite a crabby Cancer indeed! Who could blame you? With everything that you do for other people, especially the people that you love, you deserve to be appreciated, cared for, and loved too. You’re not asking anyone to do more for you than you would do for them too. You just want more peace, harmony, and a feeling of security around you. The Full Moon energy on Monday will be shining her beautiful bright light into your 4th house of home and family. What was hidden from you will be revealed. The key to your success is in continuing to treat other people the exact same way that you wish to be treated. Try to put yourself in the shoes of those around you. When you are in a good mood then everyone loves being around you, but, when you are in a crabby mood (and they don’t have a clue as to why) the people around you may be scared to even be around you. What you want is for them to be able to ‘read your heart’ and know what you need. But, the problem is that they can’t do this as easily as you think. You don’t feel that you should have to explain why you feel a certain way because when you do the words don’t always come out as sensitively as you would wish them to and those people around you can easily become offended. Not fair because it’s you that feels offended. Then situations can get out of control and arguments can happen and then you feel like you shouldn’t have said anything to anyone in the first place. UGH - what’s a Cancer to do? Again, the key to receiving what you need is in setting a good example of your own life by continuing to ‘treat others exactly the way that you desire to be treated.’ Hopefully soon they will learn from your positive example and situations will begin to turn around in your favor.
Allow the people who love you to help you out once in awhile too. They want to help you and it doesn’t make you any less of a person to let them try. You are always so willing and helpful towards those that you love and you often do much more than your share to make sure that they are taken care of. Once in awhile, when you need healing and some time off, allow them to step up to the plate and take care of you. Think of it this way Dear Cancer - you are allowing them to earn some good karma too. You want them to have some good karma in their lives too right? Okay then - sit back - relax - and take some much needed rest and relaxation for yourself right now. The Moon moves into your sign on Tuesday and will remain in your sign through Thursday morning. Do something special for yourself over the course of these days (and nights) and spend some quality time positively visualizing what you desire to attract into your life. Starting on Thursday morning good news can come your way. You could easily and joyfully reunite someone you haven’t seen in a long time over the weekend. Happy reunions are highlighted for you.
The New Moon energy on Monday will allow you to make some new starts in the areas of your life pertaining to higher education, long distance travel, foreign relations, personal philosophy, legal matters, and publishing. One or all of these topics can get a renewed breath of fresh air as positive possibilities begin to come your way. This is a good time of your life to visit out of the way places or even create your own special sacred spaces. Your energy is very creative now. Let the artistic side of you shine through. Once the Sun moves into Aries on Saturday and ushers in the Spring Equinox many positive opportunities can begin to flow to you. What do you want to do with your life Cancer? Who are the people that are most important to you? Would you like to take a long distance vacation or go back to school? Opportunities for higher education are all around you. Now that Mars is back in direct motion, and your energy has begun to slowly pick up, don’t let your feelings of insecurity, depression, or frustration hold you back from anything you want to do. Your future awaits you. How wonderful it will be depends upon you. Attitudes are important…pick a good one!
