Cancer monthly horoscope
Jun 21 – Jul 22 · Water · Cardinal · ruled by Moon
House of Home: the month ahead
The Sun in Libra
The Sun spends most of the month in your 4th house of family, so where you come from and where you feel at home is where your attention and energy naturally collect.
Inner planets
Mercury in Scorpio (your 5th house), Venus retrograde in Scorpio (your 5th house) and Mars in Leo (your 2nd house) set the tone: your thinking and talk, your affections and values and your drive and desire each work through different parts of your life. Venus is retrograde, so review before you commit.
Moon phases
Last Quarter on Oct 3 in Cancer, lighting your 1st house (identity). New Moon on Oct 10 in Libra, lighting your 4th house (family). First Quarter on Oct 18 in Capricorn, lighting your 7th house (marriage and one-to-one bonds). Full Moon on Oct 26 in Taurus, lighting your 11th house (friends).
Sky events
Sun enters Scorpio on Oct 23. Venus enters Libra on Oct 25. Venus stations retrograde on Oct 3. Pluto stations direct on Oct 16. Mercury stations retrograde on Oct 24.
The long view
Jupiter in Leo (your 2nd house) expands your finances and sense of worth, while Saturn retrograde in Aries (your 10th house) asks for patience and structure in career and public image.
Advice
Lean on what comes naturally to Cancer: working tenderly, protectively and by feel. Keep an eye on moodiness and clinging to the past, and make room for home and family.
