The Week Ahead for Cancer
Monday, August 17th – Sunday, August 23rd
Mars recently arrived in your sign and will encourage you to get behind your ambitions and desires. However, before Mars can fulfil its promise it must angle Neptune, the planet of illusion-delusion. This combination can send you chasing rainbows and attacking your own shadow, so before you make a move you could come to regret, pause for breath. Whether you think you see a hazard ahead or a great opportunity, stop and blink twice. Maybe what you are looking at is real, but the chances are you’ve missed something. And that something could prove costly.
Chasing rainbows?

Monday, August 10th – Sunday, August 16th
The all too brief armistice is over! By which I mean, last week’s pleasant breezes are replaced by storm force winds. Of course, storms breed energy, which can speed your ship of dreams along the ocean of hope! A total solar eclipse alongside other powerful aspects could inspire events that you did not expect, and while such events could be wonderful, they may also be difficult to handle. Finances could be the focus for these influences, with some Cancerians experiencing a super bonus and others looking at a major item of expenditure.
Unprecedented.

The Month Ahead for Cancer
August 2026
Last month’s developments could be the reason you’re on a battle-footing. Not in a bad way, but determined to right a wrong and get things moving in the right direction. Then again, with two eclipses in the pipeline (12th and 28th), completely random events could open up a whole new raft of possibilities which get you moving and motoring. August is an optimum period for making money and increasing your self-worth. It’s a good month to sell or purchase a property and to invest in your talents. Best of all, it’s a time when you can turn sad sagas into happy-ever-afters.

The Year Ahead for Cancer
Last year saw the beginning of an important, potentially life-changing, phase, and it continues apace in 2026. Right from the beginning of January, events make their mark on your future, and a relationship could be in the mix… Jupiter’s passage through Cancer will come to an end in July, so make the most of the opportunities that present themselves because it will be another twelve years before you have this planetary super-power behind you again. Make the moves. Have confidence in your talents and your ability to manifest.
