Cancer 22 June – 22 July

That New Moon in Scorpio on Sunday, right there in your house of passion and self-expression, is a big one, dear Crab. With your ruler, the Moon, conjunct the Sun in such an intense sign, you're kicking off the week with a deep dive into what truly lights you up – or what's been dimming your shine. This isn’t a gentle ripple; it’s a powerful undercurrent pulling you towards emotional honesty.

Early in the week, you might feel a lingering tension from the Moon squaring Pluto in Aquarius. This aspect, still active on Sunday, suggests some power dynamics at play, particularly in your shared resources or intimate connections. It’s like your sensitive emotional radar is picking up on things that aren't quite adding up. That retrograde Mercury in Scorpio, squaring Pluto at the start of the week, wants you to revisit uncomfortable truths. Don't shy away from asking the tough questions, especially around joint finances or trust issues. You’re being asked to shed a layer, and it’s probably a good thing.

Around Wednesday, as the Moon shifts into Sagittarius, your focus begins to pivot towards daily routines and well-being. However, the influence of Mars and Jupiter, both in Leo and forming a powerful conjunction that will be exact by Saturday, is lighting a fire under your sector of income and personal values. This is fantastic energy for taking bold steps to increase your earning potential or standing up for what you believe you're worth. With Venus still retrograde in Libra, creating sextiles to both Mars and Jupiter, you might find yourself reconsidering how you’ve historically valued your contributions in relationships, both personal and professional. Spill the tea: are you giving more than you’re receiving?

By Saturday, Mercury stations direct in Scorpio, a massive sigh of relief! All those internal dialogues and second-guessing around your creative projects or romantic endeavours can finally start moving forward. What felt stuck or unclear begins to gain momentum. The Moon’s ingress into Capricorn heading into the weekend shifts your focus to significant others and partnerships. This is where you might feel the heat from the Sun in Scorpio squaring Mars and Jupiter in Leo. Your desire for deep connection could clash with someone else's need for freedom or recognition. Remember, your protective shell is there for a reason, but sometimes it’s also important to voice your needs rather than just retreating.

Uranus trining Pluto and sextiling Neptune, both exact by week’s end, offers a subtle but profound call to redefine your personal freedom and spiritual path. This isn't about grand gestures; it’s about quiet realisations that shift your perspective. This week, Cancer, the story is about transforming emotional baggage into soulful strength. Don't let what others project onto you become your burden. Speak up, stand firm in your worth, and let that sensitive heart lead you to deeper authenticity.
