Cancer Monthly Horoscope

Press pause: Gemini season begins May 20

Record scratch! On May 21, the Sun slips into Gemini and your twelfth house of healing and closure, beckoning you back into your sanctuary until June 20. Pace yourself for the next four weeks, tying up any loose ends or lingering obligations before Cancer season (and your birthday time!) arrives. 

You might crave solitude, spaciousness and even a day or two off the grid so you can follow your own rhythms. Just be careful not to isolate yourself. Mars in Cancer can also dial up excessive pride. Catch yourself if you start pulling the "I'll just do it myself" martyr routine. There's no shame in needing support—and with the Sun in your compassionate twelfth house, an abundant supply of unconditional love is all around you. 

The key? To tap into that emotional reinforcement, you’ll have to drop your armor, which can feel scary and out of control. Be a level or two more vulnerable around people who are safe enough to trust. At the same time, remember that even your closest confidantes are mere mortals and may not get it right on the first try. Give everyone some grace and space, and focus on their intentions, not just the delivery.
