The Week Ahead for Cancer
Monday, August 31st – Sunday, September 6th
When Mars is in your sign you’re on a battle-footing. On the one hand, you can get behind your ambitions and find the passion to achieve your ends but, on the other, you may run into a whole lot of aggravation. Mars now squares up to Saturn so you could be up against a wall of resistance. It may not be immovable but it’s going to require effort to dislodge it, and you might have to ask yourself whether the effort is truly worthwhile. Cancerians are persistent and tenacious, but it is really important to establish whether what you’re hanging on to is as valuable as you think.
Is it worth the effort?
See last week’s forecast below.
Monday, August 24th – Sunday, August 30th
Ruled by the moon, you are more sensitive to its cycle and with a lunar eclipse looming into view, you may already be feeling ever so slightly moony. This eclipse flanks the axis of travel and communications so you could be completing a journey of some description. As it is, with Uranus, the unpredictable, also in play, should you be travelling late in the week, don’t be surprised if any journeys take you into unfamiliar territory. Likewise, any results you may be expecting could prove very different from expectations.
Not what you expected.

The Month Ahead for Cancer
September 2026
There is movement and change in the astrology, so prepare to leave your comfort zone and get a new outlook. While you could make journeys in miles, the more important ones are those you’ll be making with your heart and mind. You’re increasing your knowledge and acquiring information that will change the way you see your life unfolding. Moves you make on and around the 11th and 26th open a new chapter but in the process, you may have to leave some old friends and some ancient history behind. Onward and starward, Cancer!
