Cancer

Jun 21 · Jul 22

Cancer remembers everything, especially the moments that mattered to you. Ruled by the Moon, this Water sign feels first and thinks second, building a sense of home wherever it goes and fiercely protecting the people inside it. If you know a Cancer, you already know they'd rather show up quietly and consistently than say the right thing once and disappear.

Horoscope

Saturday, October 17, 2026

Oh, you're due for a great, big spending spree. No, that's not your usual style, and you're not known for being an impulse shopper, either, but for right now, that could change. Instead of being someone else's 'chaperon' at the mall and reminding them of what they 'should' be spending their money on, you may need to ask someone to come along with you instead. Or you could simply surrender your plastic to someone you trust.

Sunday, October 18, 2026

As far as you're concerned, this kind of thing only happens in the movies. The war-weary hero or heroine heads home, pulls down the shades and disappears. Fade to black. But that's not the kind of thing you'd ever do, right? Well, not usually -- but at the moment, there's probably nowhere else you'd rather be than at home. Of course, if you don't want to be alone, you know there's someone who'd be happy to keep you company.

Monday, October 19, 2026

Beware of some crossed signals or less-than-totally clear communication. A lot of ambient noise is in the air -- third-party hearsay or idle, unfounded gossip, for instance. Shut it out! Once you winnow away all that negative stuff, the more significant messages may become clear. Interpreting it as being all about you could be totally wrong.

Love Horoscope

Monday, October 5, 2026

Whatever happens Monday, keep the future in mind. You never know what may happen between you and you-know-who. Particularly if you're still in the courtship stage, work to make a stunning impression. Tuesday and Wednesday, you can be a bit subtler in the messages you send -- people will be catching on right away -- but on Thursday and Friday, when you have to face a difficult problem, subtle is not the way to go. Be direct. Take action. Even after things get squared away, you might feel muddled, leaving you too emotional and indecisive to be much company on a date this weekend. Relax instead.

Monday, October 12, 2026

The first few days this week may find you thinking a bit too fast -- making assumptions, jumping to conclusions, getting carried away. When it comes to love, step back and don't try to decide now. Thursday and Friday offer you an opportunity to get in touch with yourself, which, of course, will ultimately enable you to get truly in touch with a certain someone. Concentrate on being yourself -- taking good care, expressing your feelings and most of all, enjoying life. When the weekend comes, your good-heartedness and readiness can make your world rosy indeed.

Monday, October 19, 2026

You need to apply yourself to your sweetie's (or crush's) mind, rather than any other part of their body, as you deal with them early this week. That's not to say you can't ever appeal to their heart, but it may take some time to get there. Your great emotional energy on Wednesday and Thursday helps you look into new areas and topics of mystery to you -- and there are plenty of those! Your mate may say something thoughtless this weekend, but try not to take it to heart. They certainly don't mean to be mean!

The Moon's Influence

Lunar Sign

Lunar Sign:
Capricorn

Intermittent vibrations of Saturn are emphasized when the Moon is in Capricorn, bringing forth the principle of contraction following Jupiter's expansive influence in Sagittarius. A lessening of the urgency towards Spiritual and intellectual interests is experienced. This is a materialistic time, with an awareness of personal comfort, work and duty. While pursuing status and financial security, people might become insensitive, even unsympathetically cruel, but from necessity rather than animosity. The Saturn influence of Capricorn causes pessimism or negativity to creep in. Remember that Capricorn energy is sluggish. It is a time for diligently applying yourself to tasks while living solely in the present. Capricorn rules the knees, teeth, bones and skin.

Lunar Phase

Lunar Phase:
First Quarter

This can be a wildly tumultuous time, emotional, and introspective. You may recognize that the new beginnings you are making must also increase personal security to be worthwhile over the long haul. Get in touch with your gut instincts and begin to guide your life more deliberately, with an awareness of using your "6th sense" as well as your enthusiasm. Obstacles may emerge that require you to reevaluate how to better integrate yourself into your surroundings.
