Cancer
Born between: June 21st - July 22nd
Supportive and encouraging those born under the Cancer sign are lovers that strive in the home setting. Traditional in their beliefs they are often conservative although they value unaccompanied time, greatly.
Everyone seems good for a pleasant chat today, Cancer, but don't compromise just because you want to fit in for the sake of peace and quiet. If there have been arguments, this is the time when you can put the right word in the right ear. Suddenly everything will calm itself down. Your views at work will be sought, for you've got all the relevant info. Just don't drown everyone in too many facts and figures. Businesslike colours are magenta and mocca. Lucky numbers are 4 and 9.
This is when you get the courage to tackle challenges, so take them in both hands and don't stop to think too hard. Keep a balance, but don't lose your momentum. This is a time of new activities and new encounters, so expect the unexpected and you won’t be disappointed. You have lots of confidence and a really dynamic, highly-strung vitality. Let yourself sparkle! Advantageous colours are bright red and silvery grey. Lucky numbers are 23 and 17.
If you keep your feet on the ground, there are definitely fair winds blowing for you now. It's just a question of finding the right balance between confidence and common sense. You can probably plan and organise particularly well at this time. You are being encouraged to be practical, self-disciplined, and to work thoroughly with an eye to detail. So you won't have to double-check everything and redo things in the near future. Auspicious colours are deep purple and walnut brown. Lucky numbers are 5 and 48.
It's well worth your while pushing yourself into boring things like paperwork. Once you have that organised, not only will you feel better, you'll be able to spend with a clear conscience. You'll be sorting out longer term plans for the next twelve months at the moment, so bounce your ideas around and see what feedback you get. Helpful, practical advice will put you on the right lines, though obviously the decision will be yours at the end of the day. Bold colours are translucent red and honey gold. Lucky numbers are 49 and 41.
The Moon in your sign always has that ebbing and flowing quality, one moment outgoing and charming, the next moment, withdrawn. You just don't know from one minute to the next what you are going to do, say and think! It's rather pleasant, but you need more stable, practical people around you just now. All you want really is favourable attention, so you will be racing around trying to please. Overeating could be a hazard today since you want to comfort yourself. Fortunate colours are antique gold and copper. Lucky numbers are 53 and 47.
Watch a tendency to be intense, even obsessive. If you can be tolerant of other people's viewpoint, and open to feedback, you'll make progress faster. Uranus at work shows where you need to change, where you need to lift your life up and shake it! Don't let it become stale or dull or lifeless. You've been in a corner lately, and now is the time when there's a bit more sparkle and excitement. Lucky colours are burgundy and taupe. Lucky numbers are 28 and 63.
It's important to channel your energy into doing as much work as possible today. Brutal effort involved in organisation achieves something worthwhile. Be wary of high-risk areas, people and situations. At work you may be digging your heels in too hard. You could be right but maybe have not found the best way of persuading workmates. A more flexible approach will help to smooth out tensions and disagreements. Favourable colours are cherry blossom and white blossom. Lucky numbers are 66 and 44.
You are vaguely uneasy about a sense that you know is right: someone is holding you back. You are can't quite decide why, or what, to do about it. Be patient and recognise that this is only a temporary phase. You must just throw your energy into behind-the-scenes activity, or learn to pull strings a little more subtly. Today just briefly, you tend to be pulled into complex situations and end up feeling a touch frustrated or blocked. Expressive colours are lime and lemon. Lucky numbers are 27 and 33.
Take advantage of the opportunities around you now, just for the taking. Your bouncy self-confidence attracts positive responses from everyone around you, especially colleagues and neighbours. New studies beckon, because your curiosity sends you in search of new and better answers. The planetary influences around you now are very good for technical or computer-oriented studies, mathematics or astrology. Beneficial colours are dark grey and maroon. Lucky numbers are 66 and 1.
Your romantic life may feel more ethereal and lovelier than usual, so you're cruising along in good style. It's possible that you will see companions for the better, because you're seeing life through soft focus at the moment. Yet, you often feel lonely and under loved at the moment. Darling Cancer, time spent on your own need not necessarily be lonely - it will give you a chance to connect with your deeper feelings and creative talents. Ideal colours are coffee and pale blue. Lucky numbers are 70 and 25.
You need friends around today that make you feel loved and appreciated. You want and need protection, advice and reassurance regarding your long-term goals. Obviously no one makes your mind up but you, but that doesn't mean to say testing ideas and picking up information won't be useful. Briefly, you'll find a peculiar atmosphere at home, or in close relationships. You'll feel as if there is a smokescreen around you, so you're not sure what's real and what's fantasy. Ideal colours are jade and teal blue. Lucky numbers are 68 and 65.
Use the good planetary influences around you now wisely, as the Eclipse brings opportunities regarding career prospects. This is the time to sow the seeds of new ideas at work. They may not seem glorious yet, but they will bear fruit in future, if you start off on the right foot. At the moment there is safety and security in numbers. You don't want to fly solo or be part of a claustrophobic twosome. The more the merrier. Favourable colours are gunmetal grey and peacock blue. Lucky numbers are 25 and 77.
You're sensitive and very responsive to the mood around you at work, if you're working today, and very good at handling group situations. You have incentive and ambition, but you're putting it across in a very nice kind of way - keep it up. You can sort out a few situations that have been bugging you lately. This is a good time for cleaning out, re-organising and generally unravelling muddles. There's a bonus too: it puts you back in control! Fortunate colours are silvery green and terracotta. Lucky numbers are 38 and 26.
A bright, breezy mood will keep you very busy, Cancer. You want to know the common sense reasons for doing things and are irritated by workmates who rattle on about grand ideas and indulge in flights of fancy. Let a little of your own creative imagination get to work. If your feet are too firmly on the ground, you won't get very far. Beneficial colours are sage green and tawny brown. Lucky numbers are 65 and 24.
You are sensitive to suffering and feel the urge to work behind the scenes to help or care for those who are less fortunate than you. You are at your best in a work situation where you are able to upgrade or regenerate things, but go easy; if you're in a routine and stable job you will run into opposition from workmates. They will find your constant manipulation and controlling of the work situation very difficult to handle. Positive colours are bottle green and ivory. Lucky numbers are 5 and 6.
A real attack of the wandering feet makes it tricky to settle down to anything requiring concentration. You don't want to be stuck in a corner. You want to be flying round the world in your hot-air balloon. Let your imagination soar. The Moon in tricky aspect to Venus may make getting out of bed more difficult than usual since you want to pamper yourself. Your lazy streak will show itself, but this will be no bad thing. Compassionate colours are oyster and topaz. Lucky numbers are 34 and 40.
Finances remain steady, except you're inclined to overspending. Leave other people to do the more practical, solid things, you will be good at charming the important people around. Put them at ease and make them feel a little bit happier. Love may not come as easily at the moment, partly because you are holding back, maybe oversensitive to rejection. You would rather shut yourself away than let your feelings be seen. Ideal colours are saffron and beige. Lucky numbers are 21 and 24.
Be as straightforward, firm and tactful as you possibly can, Crabs. This is not the day to take the long way round. Maybe you have been letting other people pull the wool over your eyes. Often it's easier not to say when you discover you have been let down. But don't tell little white lies just to keep the peace. It always comes out into the open at the wrong moment. Your life is changing slowly at a subtle level now. Advantageous colours are violet and citrine. Lucky numbers are 53 and 26.
Discuss future possibilities now. Seek out sounding boards for your brighter inspirations. Your livelier friends will adore you because you are up on the latest advances and don't harp on about how things used to be. You are very open to new ideas, especially those likely to upset others, because you have a slightly rebellious streak. And you have the courage of your convictions. Effective colours are aubergine and basalt. Lucky numbers are 46 and 43.
You have found a way around other people's resistances today, Cancer. If you want them to shift ground, you can be persuasive. If you want straight answers, you can bring things out into the open. There is no need to fight things through to the bitter end. This is your peak time of year for work or community activities. Recognition is likely if you strive to get your talents out on display. Inspiring colours are turquoise and mocca. Lucky numbers are 51 and 13.
With the Moon in your sixth house, you are in an ideal phase to work on and regenerate your body. If you do have any ailments, giving them prompt and sensible attention from trusted professionals and sound remedies will result in improvements. Ignoring physical problems and hoping for the best will not work. A small adventure beckons which should put a sparkle in your eye. Adventurous colours are kiwifruit and tan. Lucky numbers are 21 and 61.
Cancer, it's definitely a time to look for new experiences, to do anything that's original, experimental and a little bit inspired. Maybe you need to be a little more artistic while you're at it. You won't be as socially outgoing as usual just for a few weeks. But don't get gloomy. You will emerge softer, wiser and maybe revitalised because of the deeper connections you have made. Soothing colours are blackberry and parchment. Lucky numbers are 65 and 46.
You may be feeling under-appreciated at the moment, but there really is no need. Enjoy this quiet time, since it won't last long. With Venus tucked out of sight, your role is to be giving rather than receiving. You are eager to find out about the latest knowledge. You certainly don't want to hear about the way it always was. What you are concerned with is state-of-the-art futuristic knowhow. Practical colours are silver and chrysoprase. Lucky numbers are 11 and 5.
Now's the time for self-promotion, Cancer! Are you looking for the limelight? You'll be flirting, laughing, singing and dancing. The stars promise more emotional depth in relationships with loved ones, whether children, adults or indeed social companions. Suddenly you see that what has been holding you back in the past has been your own narrow-minded outlook, not ill luck or life being difficult. Expressive colours are sultana and peach. Lucky numbers are 60 and 78.
As Mercury turns retrograde, beware of committing yourself to things that are beyond you. It's no good promising more than you can deliver. It could be a good time to start new projects as long as you take practical advice and move at a steady pace. At times you are not clear why you feel frustrated, or what is blocking you. Listen to the subtle hints and pick up on the undercurrents in your environment. Balanced colours are gunmetal and tourmaline. Lucky numbers are 15 and 41.
Are your loved ones beginning to complain that they never see you? Take the hint, and find time for your nearest and dearest. You have ambitions to fulfil, but you also need to lead a more balanced life with time for play and relaxation as well as work. This Full Moon is quite a good time to retreat for some peace and quiet, to get away from the outside world. Feeling sensitive, you cling to familiar surroundings. Beneficial colours are mahogany and meringue. Lucky numbers are 23 and 47.
All you really feel like doing is putting your feet up and daydreaming your way through the day. And if you can manage it without upsetting your schedule, why not indulge yourself? Guard against taking people at face value in financial negotiations and partnerships. You will all too easily allow yourself to be misled into trusting people who are unreliable, unrealistic and perhaps even downright dishonest. Responsible colours are spearmint and chrysoprase. Lucky numbers are 13 and 10.
You are in a position to give more now, and you are sensitive to the unspoken needs of those close. You can be very compassionate with Venus in your solar twelfth house, but watch that you do not become emotionally overloaded, soaking in too much of their problems. You have strong ideas about change in your working situation, but workmates may want to stick to the status quo. Tread lightly. Compassionate colours are fawn and chrysoberyl. Lucky numbers are 56 and 41.
Feeling a little bit restless and quite emotional? Be careful or you may be saying things to others in a way that they don't entirely understand. The words just flow out like a flood. If you can stand back and be a bit more sensible about some things, it really would help enormously. With the Moon at a tricky angle to Mars you may be involved in noisy confrontations with close companions - but it will be over with in a flash. Fortunate colours are merlot and striped agate. Lucky numbers are 34 and 74.
Bright friends and stimulating discussions are a must in your life right now, Cancer. You do have wonderfully inventive ideas that get right to the truth of the matter, so share your thoughts. Friends might be surprised to see that you couldn't care less what tradition thinks or says. You speak in your own highly individualistic way now. Head for younger mates in particular since they are forward looking, not stuck in a rut. Providential colours are chestnut and new rope. Lucky numbers are 9 and 42.
