CANCER
The Crab (June 21 — July 21)
Your primary ruler is shifting into Pisces, a water sign, and will be there for the next 18 months. The next cycle will bear more kinship to who you are growing to become. Your attention will move toward the arts, music, things of beauty and travel.
For All Signs Jupiter, otherwise known as Zeus, the youthful god of optimism, is in tension with Saturn, god of wisdom honed by experience. When they struggle, we are pressed to think carefully about our true values and put our money where it will do the most good in our lives. One obvious example is that we have to think twice about the money we spend on vacations this year. Travel requires the sacrifice of something else that may also be important. Reduction of resources helps us to become crystal clear about what is top priority.
Aries You’ve been through a ringer of reality and you are not out of the woods yet, Rams. You may be struggling with clarifying a balance point between your needs and the needs of others in your life (children, lovers).
Taurus This week is a time for bringing multiple threads and people together in support of one significant goal. It is possible that you are dealing mainly with facets inside your psyche and not with others. Whatever composes the threads, you are pulling all of them into a rope of firm bonding.
Gemini Venus enters your sign this week and will be traveling with you through July 17. Her presence gives you an air of poise and beauty, and people will simply like how you look. When Venus is prominent we become more interested in art forms and take pleasure in things of beauty.
Leo This has been a month of nightmares to forget! You have worked hard, pushing rocks uphill for several weeks. By now it seems you should know whether or not this initiative was really worth your effort. Leave the verdict alone for the present. You are too tired to make a clear decision.
Virgo Take the world less seriously this week and follow the yellow brick road of your social life. It could be really interesting and might even liven up your love life. The world of Virgo flows smoothly most of the week. Expect the unexpected on the 27th or 28th.
Libra An experience will be important in helping you clarify whether or not you have a solid and dependable relationship. This could be a romance or a business partnership, a marriage or a deep friendship. Be guided not only by your heart, but also by what seems to be a solidly practical rationale.
Scorpio Your energy and enthusiasm have been pressed into a tightly bound container. You may be more than a little bit conscious of the need to conserve resources. Expenses are high due to necessary repairs. Your partner is a bright spot on the landscape.
Sagittarius You are working hard to get a career project off the ground and this is not one of the easier periods. The project will serve a purpose altogether different than you expected. So when you evaluate its cost, consider also the expanded platform of its worth.
Capricorn Balancing the multiple commitments in your life is a tricky act these days. You and your partner each have needs. Then there is the energy you apply to your community development, your children and creative works. Everything is expensive, whether it costs energy, time or money.
Aquarius It is important that you notice whether or not your daily life choices are supportive to your positive mental and emotional health. It is imperative that you get your required rest. If you allow everyone to drain your energy, you will be left with an empty bucket on the other end.
Pisces This week marks the beginning of a search through the labyrinth of questions about who you are and where you are going. You are asked to make conscious choices, which is sometimes challenging for the Fish. It is much easier to flow with the water. But are you going where the water is headed?
