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.
If you're shopping today, you'll happily shop till you drop. You're especially interested in household items or anything that makes mundane chores less of a grind. It's also a good day for investing in items that will improve your health, even if you only buy a bottle of vitamin pills. If you've been waiting for news of a bonus, perk or pay rise, it won't hurt to gently jog someone's memory about it. Positive colours are azure and grapefruit. Lucky numbers are 39 and 2.
You enjoy putting your brain to good use today, especially if you're doing something that's fun and entertaining. How about seeing what's on at the cinema, or renting a film and watching it at home? If you're passing the shops it will be almost impossible not to buy yourself a book, newspaper or magazine, because you're in the mood for a good read. You might try a competition, too. Ideal colours are caramel and cherry blossom. Lucky numbers are 1 and 49.
Make the most of today's broad-minded attitude and sample a slice of life that you might not try at other times. For instance, you talk to someone whose appearance or attitude would normally make you want to avoid them like the plague, and discover that there's much more to them than meets the eye. You could also be tempted to plan an exciting journey of the mind or body. Fortunate colours are aqua and lemon. Lucky numbers are 3 and 26.
If you suspect that you went overboard yesterday, this is the perfect day to say sorry and mean it. You're in a rather downbeat and serious state of mind, with a tendency to brood if things don't go well. Rather than allow yourself to worry, it will be a much more productive day if you can make the most of your current powers of concentration. There's so much you can achieve right now. Empowering colours are mulberry and aqua. Lucky numbers are 37 and 27.
This is another day when your nearest and dearest are giving you grief. You might have to cope with a relative who keeps nagging you about something, or who doesn't know when to shut up. However, before you lay all the blame at the door of other people, you should recognize that you may be just as irritating at the moment, especially if you get a bee in your bonnet. Liberating colours are russet and butterscotch. Lucky numbers are 3 and 75.
Although a certain person is normally dear to your heart, you can't help having second thoughts today. They're being such a pain in the neck for a start, and they also seem eager to drag you into a row. Maybe they're brooding about something that happened in the past but which they want to remind you about, especially if they think you were responsible for it. Harmonious colours are burnt orange and blueberry. Lucky numbers are 21 and 12.
You're in a wonderfully buoyant mood today and it will quickly rub off on whoever happens to be around you. This means you'll be in great demand, and also that you'll have a fantastic time. It's an especially good day for getting together with close relatives and neighbours, and you could have some great laughs together. Enjoy this happy spell while it lasts. Stabilising colours are hazelnut and grey blue. Lucky numbers are 5 and 43.
Between now and mid August you'll be very concerned about the state of your finances. You want them to be as healthy as possible and will work hard to make this happen. However, guard against your tendency to place too much emphasis on the material side of life, telling yourself that what you own is more important than who you are. Powerful colours are lilac and grapefruit. Lucky numbers are 8 and 12.
If yesterday's suggestions appealed to you, this is a marvellous day to start. You're full of inventive and far-sighted ideas, and you love putting them to the test. You're far more open-minded than usual today, making you receptive to ideas that might not appeal to you at otherwise. At the moment, they're right up your alley. Fortunate colours are blue hyacinth and dusky pink. Lucky numbers are 5 and 27.
You're filled with a lot more confidence than you've experienced recently, which comes as a welcome relief. This is just what you need if you want to get on with a project, launch a new venture or simply feel more at ease with yourself. You come up with ways to improve your life, and you want to get cracking on them as soon as possible. Prosperous colours are gold and navy. Lucky numbers are 2 and 56.
You're fired with enthusiasm today and eager to get on with whatever is top of your list of things to do. It's important that you're active now, otherwise you could easily become edgy and bad- tempered. You're prone to moodiness at the moment, and could get very agitated about the silliest things. These outbursts will be over quickly, but too many of them will be draining. Favourable colours are ivory and onyx. Lucky numbers are 6 and 49.
Something that happens today gladdens your heart, filling you with optimism and joy. It may not be anything that you can shout from the rooftops, (perhaps because it's supposed to be a secret), but you'll hug it to yourself and feel thrilled. You blossom in social settings, where you receive compliments that make you blush with pleasure. Empowering colours are plum and violet. Lucky numbers are 4 and 41.
Someone has a lot to say, but they're very choosy about who they talk to. They beckon you into a corner and beg you to keep quiet about what they're about to tell you, or it may be you who's looking for the right confidante. Either way, this is the sort of day when secrets have a habit of coming out in the wash, so it may be better to maintain a strict silence about yours. Stabilising colours are aqua and mother of pearl. Lucky numbers are 4 and 23.
The coming fortnight is an excellent opportunity to get involved in a charity or good cause. You might do this by lending them your physical support, or you could donate some money. If you're the one needing the help, then it's time to ask for it, whether you consult a government agency, a telephone helpline, a therapist or a friend. Opportune colours are sage green and magenta. Lucky numbers are 37 and 9.
You're very excited by new and revolutionary ideas today, but try not to latch on to something simply because it's unusual or will set the cat amongst the pigeons. Ideally, you should introduce lots of variety into your day to prevent yourself getting bored. Once that happens, you'll want to kick up some dust to make things more interesting. Not a good idea! Inspirational colours are cornflower blue and sunflower yellow. Lucky numbers are 10 and 26.
Worries and anxieties are lurking at the back of your mind, and once you start to think about them it will be almost impossible to shake them off. Do your best not to let your thoughts take on an obsessive quality because it will be difficult to handle and could also waste a lot of time. Try to keep things in their proper perspective and where possible, take constructive action. It will be far more productive than endlessly chewing it over in your mind. Beneficial colours are teal blue and dark red. Lucky numbers are 3 and 6.
Life isn't very easy at the moment and you need the support and advice of a friend today. Talk to them about whatever's bugging you because they'll have some interesting feedback for you. This is also a good day for working on a plan for the future, especially if you're putting in some ground work or doing some research. Expressive colours are terracotta and silvery pink. Lucky numbers are 2 and 49.
You need to keep your wits about you when handling money matters today, just in case someone is trying to get there ahead of you. They may be appealing to your good nature or hoping that you won't ask searching questions. If someone suggests a scheme that seems too good to be true, that's probably exactly what it is and you should steer well clear of it. Liberating colours are lemon and burgundy. Lucky numbers are 26 and 5.
You're in a deliciously romantic and idealistic mood today, and you've certainly got stars in your eyes whenever you think about a certain person. Right now, they're everything you could possibly want and you're completely blind to their faults. Enjoy this happy phase while it lasts but make sure you come back down to earth soon. Advantageous colours are burnished bronze and silver. Lucky numbers are 9 and 4.
Tread carefully today because it will be easy to get bogged down in a battle for power with someone, especially if they try to pull rank on you or use some underhand tactics. If you're currently trying to introduce some changes to your life, it's essential that you're open about it to avoid arousing opposition from people who are suspicious of your motives. Beneficial colours are bronze and ivory. Lucky numbers are 25 and 7.
Someone is full of good ideas today. Well, they think so, anyway, and they'll regale you with their thoughts for ages. You might enjoy listening to them, although some of what they say will seem like a complete flight of fancy. Be wary if they try to persuade you to join them in what you think is a hare-brained scheme because it could turn out to be over-ambitious and a complete waste of time. Maybe you should persuade them to scale it down a little? Ideal colours are lime and mulberry. Lucky numbers are 15 and 6.
It's almost impossible to keep track of your thoughts today because they're flying around in so many different directions. Write down ideas that come to you, and catch them before they fly off like butterflies. A brief change of scene will help you to clear your head, so get some fresh air - go for a walk, eat some foreign cuisine or rent a movie that you normally wouldn't... Ideal colours are blueberry and raspberry. Lucky numbers are 24 and 9.
If you want to get the very best out of the day, you should hide away from the world with a very special person. You're longing to lose yourself in a romantic reverie, given half a chance. If you're involved in a secret relationship, what happens now will make you feel mushy inside. If you're getting together with this person today, you'll want the encounter to be tender and loving. Read about today's historic Transit of Venus. Favourable colours are salmon and lavender. Lucky numbers are 3 and 55.
This is another day when it pays to reveal your true feelings to someone. You don't want to talk to any old person of course, so choose your confidante carefully. It's an excellent opportunity to discuss subjects that are usually off-limits, perhaps because they're sensitive or they're embarrassing when not handled properly. Right now, no problem. Harmonious colours are deep blue and lavender. Lucky numbers are 26 and 5.
Make an effort to talk about your feelings today. It may not be very easy at first, but you'll soon get into the swing of it, and the results will speak for themselves. You have an intimate conversation with your partner, in which you both speak from the heart about something that concerns the two of you. It will do wonders for your relationship. Ideal colours are pistachio and cherry blossom. Lucky numbers are 22 and 8.
Over the next couple of weeks you play your cards close to your chest. This means that you could give the impression of being secretive or unfriendly, which won't go down well in some quarters. Maybe it would help to explain your current mood? At times, you may have to force yourself to speak up to avoid sending out the wrong signals. Soothing colours are copper and teal. Lucky numbers are 2 and 56.
You're feeling positive and full of sunshine today, and determined to make the best of any situation you find yourself in. The planets are in are fortunate aspect, so everything is looking bright. A fortunate encounter with someone who'll do you a good turn, or brighten up your life in some way, is definitely on the cards. Empowering colours are emerald green and sapphire blue. Lucky numbers are 1 and 64.
If you want to make changes to your working environment or career prospects, do your best to get on with your colleagues today. However, you could encounter opposition; perhaps someone objects to the way you're doing things, or maybe they're just plain jealous. Ensure that you're acting in everyone's best interests and not just your own, otherwise you'll really land in hot water! Ideal colours are deep purple and aqua. Lucky numbers are 9 and 7.
You have a tendency to go overboard today Cancer, whether it's eating too much food, drinking too much or taking on more than you can handle at work. You simply won't know when to stop! You're in a very sociable mood and you're also feeling very easy-going, prepared to take people at face value and to turn a blind eye to their faults and foibles. And you hope they'll do the same for you Positive colours are claret and kiwifruit. Lucky numbers are 4 and 67.
Life has plenty to offer today, especially when it comes to enjoyment. You're in the mood for some fun and games, whether that means playing with your children or getting up to something very adult with you-know-who. You'll enjoy being as active as possible, and will jump at the chance of taking part in a competitive sport - provided you can win, of course. Bold colours are ebony and tangerine. Lucky numbers are 8 and 46.
