Seasons change, and the Sun is shining in all its glory upon our dearest Cancer. This shift turns our gaze toward the emotional and nurturing aspects of our lives. We should all take some time to learn to experience the world the way Cancer does, through feelings, intuitions, and deep-rooted connections. This water sign prioritizes emotional intelligence and has no space for those lacking in that area — sorry Aquarius, Aries, and Sagittarius (I say this as an Aquarius: sorry but we’re among the EI stragglers).
Stepping into this season isn’t without its challenges. Have you ever accidentally stepped on a crab? Yikes! Cancer’s energy can be overly defensive and downright sharp. That’s a small price to pay, however, for the enhanced empathy and understanding this season offers.
Toward the end of the week, Mercury, the planet of communication, finds its way into Cancer, complementing the Sun’s energy and lending a touch of eloquence to our words. It’s a time for sweet sincerity.
The conjunction of the Sun and Mercury is further influenced by a harmonious trine with retrograding Saturn. Good thing. These aspects will help us navigate the tides of emotion without being overwhelmed.

Happy birthday, Cancers. That confidence of yours that’s usually quiet may be bubbling over. It’s your time — use it as you please.

Lean into that feeling of introspection. Rest and rejuvenate. It may help you deal with all that subconscious stuff you’re usually blissfully unaware of.
VIRGO
Aug. 23 – Sept. 22
You’re itching for some action! Everybody’s gotta get out and be social every now and then. Do it now: connect with old friends. See a drag show — or be in one.

All work and no play … is exactly what you should be doing this week. Whatever is going on at work, pay close attention, and lean into it. Who says being a businesswoman is no fun?

What healthy or unhealthy habits do you have? Now’s a good time to check those out; they may need some reassessing. Your body is a temple, baby. Don’t let it fall into ruin!

Sweet baby Pisces, romance is in bloom for you. Maybe it’s a relationship or a work of art you’re into. Just make sure there’s love for the object of your affection, whoever or whatever that may be.
