The Week Ahead for Cancer
Monday, 5 Jan – Sunday, 11 Jan
Jupiter’s presence in your sign at the start of a new year is more than a blessing. Not only may you be celebrating a success or engaging in activities that do your heart good, but the moves you are making should add to your bank of happiness for a long time to come. While some Cancerians may not be feeling the lurve, so to speak, these influences are still in play, whether you cannot yet see the positive developments taking place or you are going through the motions with very little expectation that anything good will come out of them. Faith-backed action works.
Believe the best can happen.

Monday, 29 Dec – Sunday, 4 Jan
On Saturday, the first full moon of the year takes place, and it is in your sign. Like all full moons it signals the end of a chapter, and, of course, a new one will open in the coming weeks. This would be a perfect moment to marry or make a big decision regarding your future. As it is, events may be driving the bus, and you’ll be putting signatures on paper and setting in motion plans that will be fulfilled in the year ahead. Saturn and Neptune are also in the mix, so while there is an aura of the divine to events, there is also a serious aspect to what is happening.

The Month Ahead for Cancer
January 2026
Saturday (3rd) is a big date in the Cancerian calendar. The full moon in your sign conjoins fortunate Jupiter, presiding over an ending but also the opening of a new and expansive chapter. You have everything to play for in January, provided you are ready to back your talents, beliefs and feelings. It is the perfect time to marry, form a partnership or sign a long-term contract. However, it is also the right time to admit that time is up for a struggling situation. Late January presents some challenges, so don’t leave it too late to deal with a task you’ve been avoiding
