Cancer Weekly Horoscope

Keep those kneejerk reactions in check, Crab! That may prove to be easier said than done this Wednesday, July 29, when impulsive Mars in your unconscious twelfth house forms an unholy alliance with (usually) tactful Venus in discerning Virgo and your communication sector. You’re an emotional creature by nature, and this tense square might make it hard to keep a lid on what’s brewing inside you midweek. Mars can be a provocateur, and poking even-keeled Venus could lead to you blurting out something you truly feel in the moment but regret saying five minutes later. What to do? Stay aware all day, and give yourself a challenge, like counting to 10 before you utter a word. You know the danger of burning a bridge, so being forewarned could help. If you're in a relationship—romantic or platonic—that's on its last legs, this cosmic kerfuffle might actually be the catalyst needed to take action. Now, if you're in a happy relationship, it’s on you to NOT let a petty grievance undermine it. Regardless of what happens (or doesn't), you have a great opportunity to do a little soul searching and, if it feels right, initiate a candid discussion about your needs and desires.

Cha-ching! A few hours later on Wednesday, the two most abundance-minded planets, the Sun and Jupiter, meet up for their annual conjunction—an alignment so loaded with possibility that astrologers call it the “Day of Miracles.” For the first time in a decade, this meetup takes place in generous Leo and your second house of money, security and personal resources, which makes it one of the best days of the year to think seriously about your financial life—not in a stressful way but a clarifying one. Pull up your accounts, look at what's actually coming in and going out and see where things stand. You may find you have more to work with than you realized, or perhaps you’ll spot a pattern that's been draining your coffers. Either way, knowing is better than guessing. Beyond bookkeeping and budgeting, this conjunction has a way of opening doors around income. Keep your ears peeled for a new opportunity, consider raising your rates and don’t ignore conversations with interesting (i.e., profitable) potential. Jupiter in your money house only comes around every 12 years, and at the very least, it will expand your idea of what's possible. 

And that's not all! Also on Wednesday, the year's only Aquarius full moon lights a cozy fire in your eighth house of seduction, secrets and shared resources. Financially speaking, this is one of the best full moons of the year for a significant payoff, like a property sale, a commission or an investment you’ve been awaiting a sweet return on. The next two weeks could bring a deal that’s been in progress across the finish line. If there's a joint-money situation that needs resolution, now is the time to get it on the table. On a personal note, your magnetism is extra-high right now, and the people who find their way into your orbit are likely to be persistent, not easily intimidated and worth your attention. You don't have to make any decisions immediately; just enjoy the dynamic for what it is. But if something real seems like it’s developing, this full moon has the staying power to support it.
