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.
You will be more ambitious than usual now, keen to be noticed. Do a little strategic planning ahead to the time when you can act with greater speed. You may feel frustrated because you cannot act directly in an up-front manner. Get into forward gear, for this is only temporary. Advantageous colours are fuchsia and burnished copper. Lucky numbers are 70 and 60.
Your freedom-loving streak makes you wary of too much intimacy, Cancer. Make sure you communicate to loved ones that this rather detached manner is not a rejection of them. You are just in a butterfly mood, flitting happily around and not settling anywhere for long. You are much in demand for your views at work, for you are the one who has all relevant info down to the last detail. Just don't drown everyone in too many facts and figures. Focused colours are barley bread and beige. Lucky numbers are 22 and 8.
Ask for what you need, which is more pampering, indulging and feeling comforted. There is a lot of mothering energy around, but you definitely want to be on the receiving and not the giving end. You will be pleased at how well you are expressing yourself now. Once you open your mind to other viewpoints, suddenly the world seems a bigger place. Delicious colours are fuchsia and kiwifruit. Lucky numbers are 25 and 17.
Authority figures and bosses will limit you and try to hold you down. You will be rebellious and rather excitable, and you will kick out rather recklessly against anything or anyone that is holding you back. You are independent and completely unswayed by traditional outlooks. You have your own slant on the truth, and will speak your mind no matter the consequences. Adventurous colours are citrine and melon. Lucky numbers are 33 and 72.
Walk your own road, Cancer. Although you are inclined to be somewhat reckless, it's not likely to send you flying off into doing anything too foolish. Upgrade or rebuild your working life so that it brings you more fulfilment and satisfaction in the days ahead. Work relationships are more intense, even rather unco-operative since your ideas may not meet with everyone else's approval. But stick to your guns. Confident colours are sharkskin and fire opal. Lucky numbers are 16 and 15.
You may feel circumstances are pushing you in a way you don't want to go, but this is really a time for facing the bottom line and getting organized. Saturn brings the need to lay foundations, and sometimes to backtrack and unpick mistakes. Or face up to people you don't like. Use that positive discipline to get things done. You have learned recently to be more self sufficient, but don't let that cut you off from companions, especially those who are struggling. Businesslike colours are flame and sepia. Lucky numbers are 41 and 14.
Learn to pull strings a little more subtly. You will achieve little by direct action or confrontation. Indeed the harder you push the less you may succeed, so it might be as well to develop patience. Others can be made to dance to your tune if you cannot dance it yourself. Concentrate on finding out why your anger is so trapped and on finding why certain of your actions are self-defeating. Positive colours are cream and chrome. Lucky numbers are 23 and 25.
Be careful about how you handle things today, Cancer. It is important not to become obsessed with one matter, or so focused in on the tiny detail that you can't see the broader picture. If you look too deeply into it, you may end up getting a bit gloomy. If you put yourself under strain at times, you can just as quickly throw your energy into resolving your problems. What you really want is to serve and care for yourself and others. Beneficial colours are mandarin and striped agate. Lucky numbers are 15 and 30.
Don't get down if a friend pays more attention to someone else, dear Cancer, because it will pass by very quickly. Things tend to be good one moment and not so good the next, so just let it all ebb and flow. You are highly intrigued by new ideas at the moment, and companions see you as having a fascinating mind. Let out your bright, inventive opinions. They may not always meet with universal agreement, but they will certainly stimulate discussion. Persuasive colours are chrysolite and maroon. Lucky numbers are 19 and 10.
Strength and encouragement comes from work, rather than your home life for the next couple of days. You will find yourself expressing your emotions in public more than you usually do. Even though this may feel strange at first, it does mean that other people see the more human side of you. You attract more sympathy from others, but at the same time are much more sensitive to what is going on around you at work. Fortunate colours are carnation and sepia. Lucky numbers are 1 and 10.
Give your reputation a boost and get the recognition that your talents richly deserve. It's the Equinox, so you cannot rest on your laurels; give new projects a hefty push to make sure you are building for the days ahead. Get your head and your heart together and make it happen. Don't feel uneasy, you can muster up the confidence or competitive drive to get your own way. Advantageous colours are sassafras and tan. Lucky numbers are 16 and 22.
Over the next few weeks you will gain success at work, though oddly enough, you may not think so. You think that others are claiming credit for your achievements. With Mercury singing sweetly to Neptune across the zodiac it's a subtle, sensitive and very sympathetic day. You'll be putting yourself across to people in a way that makes them understand where you're coming from. You have a magical way of understanding what they're all about. It's the Equinox, and it's a New Moon, marking a powerful beginning to the astrological new year. Appropriate colours are taupe and hessonite. Lucky numbers are 29 and 62. Read more on the Equinox!
Are you deluding or deceiving yourself? Are you disappointing yourself because you're not looking clearly enough? Neptune is passing through the deepest, most confidential area of your chart for some time, and this brings up strange feelings, and a need for something that lies beyond everyday reality. The Stars indicate that money is potentially a problem as well. Appropriate colours are copper and mulberry. Lucky numbers are 16 and 41.
Your achievements are recognised today, even in a small way. It isn't luck: you've decided you won't be quiet any longer and will project yourself with more vigour!

You'll be irritated by anyone who tries to take your freedom away from you. Opportune colours are scarlet and gold. Lucky numbers are 44 and 35.
You're feeling good, but not getting much work done today. There'll be moments when you feel at peace with the world and want to share your feelings with everyone around you.

You can put workmates and companions right, with a happy smile. Beneficial colours are carmine and amber. Lucky numbers are 75 and 13.
You are thinking and talking about loftier topics, more than usual. At this time in your life, your wide-ranging mind is attracted to fascinating new ideas.

Auspicious colours are purple and pale pink. Lucky numbers are 3 and 45.
In your closest relationships, both at work and at home, you may be clutching a little more than usual, hanging on to partners. Don't get jealous and possessive if they aren't exactly fitting in with what you want all of the time. Just move over and get in step with them. Relationships always require compromises, and if you can keep your nearest contented they are more likely to respond in like manner. You will have a real feel for what others need. Fortunate colours are ebony and lavender. Lucky numbers are 21 and 49.
Your emotions are tied up with your working situation, and indeed with your health for a couple of days. If you're feeling jittered and jangled emotionally, watch that your body doesn't sag a bit. Make sure you're putting energy into eating well, resting, relaxing, exercising, doing all of those kinds of things. The Moon is close to powerful Pluto, so try not be too controlling, or uptight. Use the energy to sort out some outstanding domestic issues. Beneficial colours are azure and snow white. Lucky numbers are 5 and 32.
If you are forced to examine certain situations in great depth, you will gain in wisdom. Out of your experiences other people will also learn first-hand about how to cope better.

Favourable colours are neon and sage. Lucky numbers are 25 and 52.

Celebratory colours are sandstone and scarlet. Lucky numbers are 28 and 57.
Sensual Venus in a gritty aspect to Uranus can be disruptive, creating a roller-coaster situation with your affections. Are you spending money like mad, and then suddenly wishing you hadn't bothered?

Old teachings are being abandoned, since you dislike having your agenda set for you. Life now has new choices. Adventurous colours are mauve and maple. Lucky numbers are 5 and 9.

Just don't get too gloomy or look on the bleak side of everything. Lighten up. Life will reward you the harder you try, though you must find time for relaxation as well as serious endeavours. Otherwise you could end up a loner, having to make your way in the world unaided. Advantageous colours are mahogany and ivy. Lucky numbers are 48 and 54.
Don't get bogged down in trivia, Cancer. If you can stand further back to see the full picture, you will reach better judgements.

Sit down at the start and write out a list of destinations and times, and you might even arrive at some of them. Fortunate colours are dark grape and spearmint. Lucky numbers are 34 and 29.
You have a wonderful knack of putting others at their ease, so you are more than welcome wherever you go. But you demand elbow room and will run a mile at the first whiff of possessiveness.
