Cancer 22 June – 22 July

November opens with a clear message for you, dear Crab: it's time to sift through what truly belongs to you and what you’ve unconsciously absorbed from others. With the Sun in early Scorpio, highlighting your sector of joy and self-expression, and Mercury retrograde right there with it, the first week is all about internal review. You might feel a little fuzzy on your feelings, and that Last Quarter Moon on November 1st only amplifies the need for release. Venus is also retrograde in late Libra, pointing to some unresolved domestic or relationship dynamics. Perhaps you’re carrying the emotional weight of a family member, or a professional situation feels heavier than it should. The cosmos is inviting you to identify these energetic hand-me-downs.

Around the New Moon on November 8th, expect a significant shift. This is where Mercury and Venus both station direct! Finally, those communication snags and relationship reruns start to untangle. This clarity, particularly in your self-expression and home life, will be a welcome relief. You’ve had Mars and Jupiter in Leo for a while now, stirring up your financial sector and your sense of self-worth. By mid-month, with Mars exactly conjunct Jupiter, there’s a powerful surge of energy here. This could manifest as a sudden opportunity to boost your income, or a bold decision to invest in a passion project. However, Jupiter will be in the later degrees of Leo, so ensure your enthusiasm doesn't overrule practical consideration. Saturn, retrograde in early Aries, continues to bring a slow-burn re-evaluation to your career path, urging you to build sustainable structures, not just fleeting successes.

As the month progresses into the third week, your intuition is practically screaming at you, Cancer. That Waxing Gibbous Moon on November 22nd, combined with the Sun moving from Scorpio into Sagittarius, brings a renewed focus on your daily routines, health, and service to others. This is a pivotal moment for your wellbeing, as Mars also makes a significant move, leaving fiery Leo for grounded Virgo. This ingress signals a shift from grand gestures to meticulous planning in your work and health habits. It’s time to truly embody the idea that self-care isn't optional; it's the foundation for everything else. If you've been neglecting your own needs while tending to everyone else's, the Universe is giving you a firm, yet gentle, nudge to put yourself first.

The month closes with a potent combination of energies. The Sun in early Sagittarius encourages you to broaden your horizons and embrace new learning, perhaps even through a professional development opportunity. Venus in late Libra, now direct and picking up speed, forms an exact sextile with Jupiter, promising a harmonious resolution to those earlier domestic or relational issues. You might find yourself feeling more settled, with a clearer understanding of where you stand with loved ones. However, Mars in early Virgo squares Uranus in Gemini, suggesting some unexpected disruptions in your daily schedule or work environment. Stay flexible, dear Crab. Your ruling Moon reaches its Last Quarter again on November 30th, creating a sense of completion and a gentle invitation to release any lingering emotional baggage from the month. You’re left with a stronger sense of your own boundaries and a clearer path forward, ready to step into December feeling lighter and more authentically you.
