Cancer Cancer
August 12 ~ August 26
It may be getting a little too hot for that shell, Cancer, the cosmic temperature is rising. Eclipses tend to reach you more personally than most, given that the Moon is your ruler, and the Total Solar Eclipse in Leo on Wednesday, August 12, is bringing enough fire to take you well beyond your usual comfort zone. As if that were not enough, Mars, ruler of fiery Aries, entered your sign the day before the eclipse, where it will be traveling for the next six weeks, awakening a desire that may be stronger than your need to play it safe.
The Grand Air Trine accompanying the eclipse moves through some of the deepest and most private areas of your chart, creating space for an emotional release that may be long overdue. Venus in Libra, Uranus in Gemini, and Pluto in Aquarius can help loosen your attachment to something you have been carrying far longer than necessary. The eclipse opens a two-week portal when life itself can feel strangely translucent, so give yourself time to experience what is changing within you. You may be surprised by how much lighter you feel when you finally put something down.
The strong Leo presence also calls you toward your greatest life purpose, even on stage if that’s where it leads, while its activation of your second house turns your attention toward values, resources, and what you know you are worth. Something you have earned through blood, sweat, and tears may now give you a distinct advantage, especially as Saturn in Aries forms supportive links with Mercury and Jupiter in Leo over the coming week. Whether you are negotiating money, terms, responsibilities, or your place at the table, you may have more leverage than you realize.
Know your value before you name your price. Then go after what you came here to be and do.
