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.
There aren't too many obstacles today with other people or with yourself. The only downside could be that you spend too much money or think that you are right about absolutely everything. You will also be feeling rather retiring and not at all pushy for a few weeks. This is your time in the year to step back and take stock. Take time off if you can to recharge your batteries and if you can't, delegate. Let others do the running around. Fortunate colours are walnut brown and deep purple. Lucky numbers are 26 and 52.
This is a good time to start new projects since you have lots of initiative, imagination and determination now. There is a slight danger that you could be better at starting things than finishing them, but if you concentrate you'll be able to sort out some problems that have been bugging you for days. This is a great time for cleaning out and re- organising things generally. At the end of it all you'll feel back in control. Ideal colours are aqua and peach. Lucky numbers are 16 and 78.
It's time to retreat and find a place where you can have some peace and quiet. You want privacy and need to get away from the outside world. You are feeling self-protective and sensitive and cling to loved ones and familiar surroundings and you need to draw back from the hustle and hassles at work. You'll be happiest with your feet up. Propitious colours are dusky pink and silvery blue. Lucky numbers are 2 and 33.
Your emotions get in the way of reason because you can't think as clearly as usual. You may be talking incessantly about trivia so people won't always be able to follow your drift. There are days when making a determined push is the right approach. Then there are days when you can end up in the right place at the right time, saying the right thing, without making too much of an effort. This is one of those days. Beneficial colours are mango and pineapple. Lucky numbers are 7 and 61.
Because you're bored, you want to everything topsy turvy. You'll wish you hadn't done it though, because then you'll want life to settle down to its normal pace again. Make sure that you don't ruffle too many feathers in the process! Long distance travel is likely to be both exciting and rather disruptive, whether you are on the move or just in the planning stages. Expect the unexpected and try not to take risks or become too impatient. Auspicious colours are pistachio and dark brown. Lucky numbers are 11 and 47.
Try to get doing boring things like paperwork and housework out of the way. Once you have that organised, you'll feel a lot better. Where your physical health is concerned, you need to regenerate your body which you can only do with exercise, good food and enough sleep. Ignoring ailments and warning signs and hoping for the best just won't work. Fortuitous colours are marmalade and meringue. Lucky numbers are 66 and 73.
Fuming, fretting and complaining isn't getting you anywhere fast; there is a temporary road block ahead and you have to wait for it to clear, or alternatively, you could chip away at whatever stands in your path. All you need is determination and perseverance and you'll win through eventually. You may find your energy levels are low so you don't have the inclination to work quite as hard as usual. Positive colours are champagne and dark blue. Lucky numbers are 5 and 13.
You want to be flexible and meet new, stimulating people and this is a morale-boosting time for you. Suddenly you are able to see that what has held you back in the past has been your own narrow outlook. It wasn't down to ill luck or life being difficult as you thought. Your confidence in your ability to communicate well is growing. Your everyday life and contacts are easier as a result. You will be amazed at your new tolerance. Favourable colours are ochre and silvery green. Lucky numbers are 45 and 4.
It is very important that you are not left on your own or pushed to one side for a day or so. You definitely want to be getting lots of mothering attention, so ask for what you need. You will be very tuned into the subtle undercurrents of the atmosphere around you. You could become overwhelmed by other people's feelings so you need to protect yourself at points by standing back. Though your hunches are likely to be spot on. Prosperous colours are dark green and aqua. Lucky numbers are 44 and 6.
If you're normally timid, the planetary influences around you now will make you more confident. You suddenly find the courage to try things which normally you would not attempt. Lady Luck is on your side, but actually your dynamic approach is also helping to make things happen. You will be keen to cut through red tape and get straight to the point. Luckily you don't bear grudges for long and will move on, putting temporary squalls behind you. Favourable colours are primrose and silvery grey. Lucky numbers are 3 and 31.
You're in high gear because Uranus' influence on you has a wonderful, electrical quality. You want life to be stimulating and fascinating, and everyone you seem to meet is rather interesting. You're a little bit scattered however, as Pluto stays for some time in your house of work and health. During this time you have strong ideas about change and renewal. Work mates may want to stick to the status quo, so power struggles are almost inevitable. Fortunate colours are sapphire blue and emerald green. Lucky numbers are 6 and 57.
Not at your most outgoing and sociable just at the moment, you will be happiest in the quiet backwaters for a few weeks. Even your own company will not be a hardship for short periods, though obviously not all the time. You seem to know a little about a great many things, perhaps not too much in depth about anything. Your versatility will astonish even you, and is a tremendous strength used correctly, since you will be a wonderfully stimulating conversationalist. Ideal colours are avocado and apricot. Lucky numbers are 26 and 73.
The Moon is your ruler, and with a New Moon, all those plans you have been mulling over in recent days can now be put into action. Write down your game plan for the next twelve months, step by step. Make some firm decisions and put them into action. In spiritual matters you will be experimenting and challenging everyone else's views. You travel your own road no matter what, and don't care what anyone else thinks or says, no matter how influential they may be. Beneficial colours are tan and navy. Lucky numbers are 37 and 5.
Don't be jealous if a friend pays more attention to someone else because it will pass very quickly. The mood is rather fickle now as things tend to be good one moment and not so good the next. Just let it ebb and flow. You may be yearning for wonderful relationships, or a financial windfall to end all your problems, but you need to be more realistic and practical, and avoid the tendency to live in a dream world. Balancing colours are jade and bronze. Lucky numbers are 8 and 3.
If you can avoid falling out with the authority figures in your life, you will be much better off, as Venus turns retrograde today. Your ideas on life are changing dramatically and you find yourself open to unconventional, radical opinions. Friends and family will be amazed at the change in your outlook. You may be taken aback by certain events which blow up suddenly - just keep your rather highly-strung nervous system in hand. Auspicious colours are gold and silver. Lucky numbers are 3 and 70.

You have a sharp, fast-moving mind at this time, Cancer. Remember to write things down since you can be absent-minded and forget your brilliant inspirations as soon as you have them. You are more emotional in public than usual, which may feel strange but it lets other people see your more human side. You will attract more sympathy, and at the same time be more sensitive to what is going on around you at work. Favourable colours are sand and red velvet. Lucky numbers are 28 and 35.
Future possibilities need discussion, so you need mates as sounding boards for your brighter inspirations. Be open to new ideas, especially ones likely to upset others. You have the courage of your convictions and will not be swayed by criticism. Your livelier friends will adore you because you are up on the latest advances and not harping on about how things used to be. Creative colours are peach blossom and avocado. Lucky numbers are 14 and 31.
Straight ahead is your motto, so if obstacles get in your way, you will sweep them to one side. Try adding a touch of tact, since that can be a faster method of getting your own way. Why ruffle feathers and arouse resistance? OK, socially it's not your best time of the year. But don't feel isolated or under-appreciated. Just enjoy the quiet moments, it will soon start getting busy. Stabilising colours are carmine and cream. Lucky numbers are 6 and 7.
You are keen to see that everyone pulls in the same direction, for your group energy is strong. At work you need to upgrade, regenerate or rebuild so your career brings more fulfilment and satisfaction in the days ahead. Work relationships are more intense and at times a little unco-operative, since your ideas may not meet with everyone else's approval. Stick to your guns. Practical colours are iron bark and maroon. Lucky numbers are 15 and 10.
The planetary influences help the Crab on two levels. Mars makes you more competitive and energetic than usual, so take pleasure in the hard work you will be capable of for a while. Allow yourself to do what timidity has prevented in the past. Plus, you will be able to find a good balance between feelings and duty, as you gain control of one particular practical situation. Profitable colours are steely grey and red coral. Lucky numbers are 9 and 56.
There will be some blips at work and in friendships today, dear Cancer. Get down into the depths to investigate and find the long-term solutions. It may be to do with financial or emotional matters. Or perhaps the more fundamental questions you are asking of yourself at this time. Propitious colours are blueberry and peach. Lucky numbers are 11 and 42.
Planetary influences make everything to run more harmoniously. You feel inclined to glide over unpleasant edges, slide around awkward situations and move towards the people you really enjoy. Your thinking is running along more practical lines than usual. You want to see a tangible result for your efforts, so a disciplined approach and clear vision will make projects at work run smoothly. Balancing colours are apricot and treacle. Lucky numbers are 7 and 24.
Influential people are impressed with your wit, wisdom and articulate way of expressing yourself, Cancer. So keep talking! You need to be part of the crowd, both at work and in your leisure activities. See what you can do in however small a way to improve society as the planets urge you to throw your energy into helpful causes. You adore swapping your inspired ideas with friends, challenging each other to discover new truths. Uplifting colours are marigold and red. Lucky numbers are 7 and 49.
You need another self in whatever you are doing today, at home or at work. It is very much a togetherness kind of feeling. There's the odd confrontation through the day, not because you're assertive, but you just feel a little over-emotional. If you do stir up a problem, don't go too far. You will not really want to see it through and at the end of it all you'll wish you hadn't bothered. Prosperous colours are golden brown and pale blue. Lucky numbers are 4 and 21.
With Mars moving into your sign for a few weeks, you move into higher gear. Obstacles will be swept aside, and people who oppose you will get short shrift. Your temper is not likely to be at its smoothest, but a blunt approach is what is needed to achieve your aims. Just watch that your impulsiveness doesn't lead you into trouble. Remember the old saying, 'fools rush in where angels fear to tread'. Harmonious colours are terracotta and cream. Lucky numbers are 15 and 1.
Your ability to observe and your way with words make others see you as someone in the know. Your ideas on life are changing dramatically now and you find yourself open to unconventional even radical opinions. Your friends will be amazed at this change in your outlook. You may be taken aback by certain events that blow up suddenly, but at heart you really thrive on excitement. Just keep that highly-strung nervous system well in hand. Auspicious colours are bright red and snow white. Lucky numbers are 3 and 32.
This is not a great day for self-confidence or taking direct action, so just let yourself slide around things. Watch you are not misled by vague hunches, or by information coming from others. Your life is changing slowly at a subtle level due to the influence of nebulous Neptune, so you may feel rather undermined. This is all part of the process of moving towards different values, better securities and more realistic commitments. Beneficial colours are sapphire and ruby. Lucky numbers are 5 and 22.
Friends pull you one way and loved ones another, dear Cancer. This lunar eclipse urges you to divide your attention so as to satisfy everyone. You have been spending more time recently with a wider circle of acquaintances, so more intimate companions have been feeling excluded. You are thinking more deeply than usual and talking in a penetrating way, but you come across as being more forceful than you intend. Subtle colours are pinky orange and burnt umber. Lucky numbers are 6 and 15.
This is a good day to be self-protective and retreat into a private place, preferably at home. So much the better if you can manage to take the day off, put your feet up and wrap yourself around a warm teddy bear. Even if you're at work, you need a protective niche where you push away awkward people, hassles and hustle. With Mars in flowing aspect to the Moon you will find yourself in higher gear at home. Relaxing colours are dusky rose and silvery grey. Lucky numbers are 56 and 2.
Try flashing a happy smile, even if you're gritting your teeth behind the scenes. You'll get your own way faster by being charming. Your feelings run deeper than usual, but that should be your secret. Looking after your body is a priority since you do feel pressured by demands on your time and energy. Constantly pushing against difficulties drains your energy reserves. Isn't there an easier way round certain work situations? Uplifting colours are sable and dark red. Lucky numbers are 3 and 26.
In a morale-boosting mood, you lift other people's spirits and make them feel great. Chatting happily to companions, you glide through your work routines with less effort than usual. You are very open-minded. Knowing a little about many things could be seen as superficial, but it is also amazingly versatile. But for all that you do sense that life has taken on a more serious purpose. Plan for the future. Relaxing colours are olive and soft pink. Lucky numbers are 7 and 42.
