CANCER

Overall:
August puts a spotlight on your values, both emotional and material. With the Leo Sun energizing your second house of self-worth, you’re being encouraged to recognize what you truly need — not just what others expect of you. As Mercury retrogrades in Virgo starting August 5, your thoughts may become more introspective. This is an excellent time to clarify your internal dialogue. The Aquarius Full Moon on August 11 may bring up old wounds or power dynamics, but you’re ready to release them. Trust that quiet inner work now will lead to outer clarity later.

Love & Relationships:
You’re feeling more tender and thoughtful this month. Relationships that honor emotional depth and safe communication will thrive, while superficial ones may feel draining. If you're coupled, this is a time for slow, intentional closeness — small rituals like cooking together or quiet nights in feel especially sweet. Single Cancers may feel emotionally raw but open to love. Someone emotionally grounded and patient may surprise you with their attentiveness.

Career & Finance:
Money and emotional security go hand-in-hand for you, and August invites you to reassess your financial habits. Are you spending from a place of anxiety or empowerment? Consider investing in something that brings peace of mind. Workwise, you may feel pulled between old obligations and a desire for change. Don’t rush; let the Virgo New Moon later this month bring you clarity on your next steps.

Health & Wellness:
This month is about regulating, not optimizing. Focus on routines that soothe your body and nervous system. Nourishing soups, magnesium-rich foods, and baths with essential oils will help. Try journaling or therapy to release emotional pressure that’s built up.
