Cancer monthly horoscope

Jun 21 to Jul 21

The family meeting nobody called

Home has been the theme, and you have been the chair of the meeting. The Sun moved through Libra for most of October, in your home corner, and the New Moon there on October 10 put a family matter on the table. On October 4 the Sun faced Saturn in Aries, in your career corner. Work and home each wanted the same evening. You gave both of them most of it. Mars in Leo has been in your money corner. The Mars and Saturn trine on October 16 suited a sensible purchase or a plan that adds up. Things got lighter on October 23, when the Sun entered Scorpio, in the part of your chart about fun. Mercury is retrograde there, so an old joke or an old crush has come back around. And the Moon is in your sign as October closes. You get to end the month with your own door shut. Enjoy it.

Fun returns, with a new Moon

November is a kinder month for you than October was. The Sun spends three weeks in Scorpio, in the part of your chart about fun, and the New Moon there on November 9 is one of the best days of your year to start something for pleasure. Painting, swimming, a person. Mercury turns direct there on November 13, so an old flirtation either gets a proper answer or gets dropped. Venus goes direct on November 14 in your home corner, and things at home that felt out of place start to settle. Mars and Jupiter meet in Leo on November 16, in your money corner. It is a good sign for feeling well off, though not for buying the boat. Keep an eye on that wish, and enjoy it as a wish. On November 26 the Moon comes back into your sign, just after Mars enters Virgo. You will be ready for your own sofa by then, and everyone will know where to find you.
