Cancer Weekly Horoscope

Been drifting like a cloud, Cancer? Like it or not, your laser focus returns this Wednesday, April 30—fortunately, with a charming vengeance! Effusive Venus has been back on track after an upsetting six-week retrograde that ended April 12. And starting Wednesday, the vivacious planet circles back into Aries to sprinkle pixie dust all over your career corner until June 6. This is Venus’ second visit to the Ram’s realm in 2025: The first was from February 4 to March 27, but that included a wrench-throwing retrograde that began on March 1. Over the coming five weeks, you have a chance to make up for any missed opportunities and lost time. This is a highly creative and connected cycle, and ripe for networking. Psyche yourself OUT of homebody mode by signing up for after-work events and industry seminars. Opportunities are out there, and you don't want to miss out on a juicy one because it feels “easier” to binge-watch The Handmaid’s Tale than to talk to a stranger. (We promise you, it’s not.) There will be plenty of time for passive activity in a month. For now, you want to be a notable (and Instagrammable) fixture on the scene. One exception is Friday, as Venus nuzzles up to dreamy Neptune—its first of fourteen annual conjunctions in Aries. This is a day best used for creative visualization. You could dream up your next business plan on the dance floor or your yoga mat.

The truth is your stylish sign will have fun getting more dolled up than usual (think "costuming" rather than "dressing for success"). Cast an artist's eye over all your presentations, including your social media logos and business cards. Need a little help in that department? Hire—or barter with—a branding consultant who can update and polish your image. And because Venus is never NOT the love planet, single Cancers should pay attention to intriguing prospects you meet through work. Yes, you'll need to tread carefully here, but if there's an indisputable spark, it pays to pursue it—outside of the office, that is. Coupled Crabs should investigate potential ventures with your S.O., especially if you never seem to have enough time together.
