September 23 ~ October 7

There are times when the demands of the outer world compete with what you need on the inside, Cancer, and this may be one of those weeks. Saturday’s Full Moon in Aries conjunct Neptune can bring that tension to a head, particularly if you have been giving too much of yourself to one side at the expense of the other. Neptune can make your next move difficult to read, but supportive links to Uranus and Pluto suggest there is another route available, and it may be far better than the one you had planned. You do not need to have the entire road mapped out. You simply need to recognize when something no longer feels true for you.

Mars leaves your sign and enters Leo on Sunday night, which may feel like a welcome release after weeks of having the planet of action moving through Cancer. The focus now turns toward what you value and what gives you a greater sense of security. Financially, this can bring a lift, especially when you put more energy behind your own talents and what you have to offer. Mars in Leo reminds you that your earning power begins with recognizing your own worth. Tuesday, Sept. 29, Mercury trines the North Node in Aquarius, opening the door to deeper understanding and greater trust. There is an opportunity to say more of what is true rather than protecting yourself by saying less.

Mercury enters fellow water sign Scorpio on Wednesday, Sept. 30, and soon forms a T-square with Mars and Pluto. Feelings run deeper now, and something close to your heart may require your full attention. Venus is also slowing to station retrograde in Scorpio on Saturday, Oct. 3, beginning a deeper review of what and whom you love. What brings you joy now may be very different from what once did.

Your heart knows when it is being fed, Cancer. Give more of yourself to what feeds it back.
