June 22 - July 22

Ruled by the fluctuating moon, Cancers are highly sensitive, intuitive, deeply caring and compassionate. No wonder the Crab carries its home on its back for protection, moving sideways to explore the depths of the ocean or the interior world of feelings. Born when the sun is strongest, Cancers possess immense power but it’s unassuming and low-key. This year you’re ready to shed some of that shell you’ve outgrown and let the world see who you are.

Your Theme For This Year

Stepping Out in the World. Last year there was a big emphasis on home and family. Being a Cancer that will always be central to your life but this year you’re expanding your influence personally and professionally. Don’t worry; the right people will come into your life to help make that possible. In fact, everything you do this year happens through relationships; romantic ones, friendships, even those on social media.

Career and Finance

The April 15 new moon in your career zone is an ideal time.
