Cancer
Horoscope
for Today
Wednesday, August 5, 2026
There is favorable energy pulsing around your financial health centers right now, but you have to do your part to ensure that it stays pumping a while longer. As boring or tedious as it may be, you simply have to do the research required to make an informed decision about your money -- stay informed, so you won't be sorry five years from now. Think about what you want for your future and give it more weight than whatever gadget or new toy you want right now. Delayed gratification is something to explore.
Weekly Love Horoscope
for Cancer
Week of Mon, 8/3 to Sun, 8/9
Can you wrap your mind around love's mysterious ways as the week begins? Romance is imbued with all sorts of meaning now -- it's multi-layered, rich and ready for further investigation. What does your instinct say? Then fun is on the way around Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Plan ahead and make the most of it with your sweetie, or a hot prospective, if you've got one. And this weekend, remember that love's not about looking out for number-one. Be vulnerable. Be giving. Be beautiful.

The Moon's Influence
Lunar Sign: Taurus
The Aries ram, usually aggressive, mellows into the grounded, stoic bull when the Moon moves into Taurus. Keep in mind the term "bull-headed," as people will tend towards an inflexible stance. Be aware of these tendencies toward stubbornness. There is a feeling that it is necessary to hoard, or protect what one has control over. A strong need for financial and material security is apparent. When the Moon is in Taurus take time to continue or conclude projects already started. As Venus rules over Taurus, this is a good time to appreciate nature and the beauty which surrounds us. Taurus rules the throat.
Lunar Phase: Last Quarter
The fruits of your labor are now realized. There is a feeling of empowerment and completion during this Moon Phase. The opportunity opens to recognize how far you’ve come in myriad aspects of your life. This is not a good time for new beginnings, but rather to reflect, to evaluate how you have been managing your time and what has been accomplished. Issues of authority may arise. This Moon Phase supports taking responsibility and tying up any unfinished business.
