Cancer

Jun 21 · Jul 22

Cancer remembers everything, especially the moments that mattered to you. Ruled by the Moon, this Water sign feels first and thinks second, building a sense of home wherever it goes and fiercely protecting the people inside it. If you know a Cancer, you already know they'd rather show up quietly and consistently than say the right thing once and disappear.

Horoscope

Thursday, September 17, 2026

Flex your muscles a little bit today -- it's been too long since you reminded yourself how powerful you really are, especially in a group or team environment. You have a lot of good ideas to contribute, and it's high time you became more of a leader. People around you are going to be very receptive to any suggestions you make now, and they are looking for the new ideas you are sure to have. Push things in the direction you want them to go.

Friday, September 18, 2026

You may have to face the fact that all good things must come to an end, but you don't have to let these endings ruin your day. Use change as a chance to transform and grow rather than worry about what you're going to miss. This is a good opportunity to get out of a rut and move onto something bigger and better. You may feel uprooted for a while, but eventually you'll come to love your newfound freedom.

Saturday, September 19, 2026

Go for the elegant instead of the excessive right now. When it comes to stating your feelings, you have all the right words at your command. Do with them what you will. Everyone who encounters your way with words is sure to have a positive comment. Who knows -- this could even lead to an interesting opportunity. If you can find the time to relax tonight, it will feel well earned.

Weekly Cancer
Love Horoscope

Monday, September 7, 2026

You might want to start the week off in style on Monday, treating your sweetie or a friend to something special for no special reason. Why not enjoy the heck out of life? Making plans of all sorts is favored from Tuesday through Thursday, so schedule some sweet stuff for the future. You're also extra analytical now, so a relationship could be put under intense (and fruitful) scrutiny. Some interpersonal tension is begging to be broken this weekend; a stormy argument isn't out of the question, but then neither is some kissing and making up.

Monday, September 14, 2026

Though you're feeling quite good Monday and Tuesday, you're also quite indecisive, and that could be irksome if your sweetie or date is especially focused. Let them make the call if they're willing -- take advantage of how their mood differs from yours right now. Volunteering is appealing midweek, and it's a great way to bond with a partner or meet someone new, if that's on your agenda. You may have to spend much of the weekend on work-related issues, but you can probably squeeze in a bit of romance if everyone can stay flexible.

Monday, September 21, 2026

Loosen up a bit as the week gets going! Stretch your body. Entertain an oddball idea. Give a certain someone a big, sweet chance. If you're willing to explore the unknown now, with an open mind and hopeful heart, you'll likely find something amazing. Starting sometime Thursday, though, while some extra-quick thinking might be useful in other areas of life, when it comes to love, you'll need to slooow down. Give it some extra consideration, especially before you say it or send it! On Saturday night and Sunday, you may be hearing 'yes' a lot. What do you want to ask?

The Moon's Influence

Lunar Sign

Lunar Sign:
Sagittarius

Has the travel bug bitten you? While the Moon passes though Sagittarius, the itch to travel needs scratching. Sagittarius' influence also may bring about a feeling of idealism, or a sense of discontinuity, restlessness, desire for sports and adventures, and a love of change and motion. With Sagittarius being ruled by expansive Jupiter, people will be warm and friendly, and likely feel impulsive, whimsical, intuitive, and easily enthusiastic. However, they may also have a strong need for independence and feel unable to endure restrictions. It is a good time for more erudite or academic affairs, for dealing with institutions of learning, or for promoting our ideas through publishing, lecturing, or writing. The Moon in Sagittarius brings a philosophical influence and stimulates our higher aspirations for self-improvement. Sagittarius rules the thighs and the hips.

Lunar Phase

Lunar Phase:
Waxing Crescent

At New Moon, there is a slight but tangible decrease of energy, due to a desire to produce results from the energy being expended. The issue of values enters into the equation and an urge to tie together the data available so that you can utilize current opportunities. However, forward motion is still present, and this is a great time to continue initiating and progressing forward. This Moon Phase favors gathering research, data, and the input of others to further your plans.
