The Week Ahead for Cancer
Monday, April 20 – Sunday, April 26
In an astrological climate like this, anything and everything may happen. It is a time of great global change, so even if all is well in your small world, there’s a lot going on “out there”. With Mercury, Mars and Saturn lined up in your zone of career and life-ambitions, plans can be consolidated and big decisions made, yet it is also possible that something will not work out as you hoped and new arrangements will have to be made. While you may need to act swiftly, if at all possible, step back, allow the dust to settle and then decide on your best move.

Monday, April 13 – Sunday, April 19
It’s complicated. While a new moon starts a new cycle with new and promising possibilities, Mars hooks up with Neptune (Monday) and Saturn (Sunday) suggesting that before that new horizon can open up, there are challenges to be overcome. These may come in the form of unexpected complications of a financial and material nature or a random event that has nothing to do with you getting in the way of your personal plans. This period of 2026 is akin to negotiating a set of rapids – thrilling, on the one hand, but perilous on the other. Keep your balance.
Hazardous waters.

The Month Ahead for Cancer
April 2026
If you want something badly enough now is the time to pull out all the stops. You may not like showing your ambition or revealing your heart’s desire, but if you’ve got it, flaunt it. (Most people regret what they didn’t do, not what they did.) Career is to the fore with some Cancerians taking on a bigger role and others seeing the writing on the wall and considering their options. The weekend of the 15th presents you with a choice, and a relationship could be in the mix. Put your long-term interests first; a short-term fix will just be prolonging the agony.
