Cancer today
The Moon sets the mood of a day, and today it's in Capricorn, your 7th house. Other people set the tone today. A partner, a client, a close friend: what they want matters more than usual, which helps an agreement and makes a conversation you've been avoiding harder to avoid.
The Sun is in your 5th house (romance, play and creativity) this month: that's the season's main story. Mercury, the planet of talk and plans, is in your 5th house (romance, play and creativity): that's where the conversations go. Venus is in your 4th house (home and family): things there tend to come more easily and more kindly right now. Mars is in your 2nd house (money and what you value): that's where your energy goes, and where tempers run shortest.
Waxing crescent: the cycle is building. Small first steps count for more than big announcements.

About Cancer
Cancer takes care of its people. The shell is real — it can be guarded with strangers — but inside it remembers everything, feels everything and keeps a home for whoever it has decided is family.

At their best
- Fiercely protective of the people it loves
- Remembers what matters to others
- Reads a room's mood instantly
Watch out for
- Retreating instead of saying what hurt
- Moods that move with the Moon
- Holding on to the past too tightly
In love
Wants safety first and romance second. Once Cancer feels safe, it is one of the most devoted signs there is.
At work
Good wherever people need looking after — and quietly excellent at protecting a team, a budget or a client.
Easiest matches, by element
Signs of the same element, and of the complementary one, tend to find it easiest. Real compatibility is two whole charts — Moon, Venus and rising matter as much as the Sun.
Check compatibility with someoneQuestions
What are Cancer's dates?
Roughly June 21 – July 22. The day the Sun changes sign moves by a day from year to year, so if you were born on the edge, your birth chart settles it.
What element is Cancer?
Cancer is a cardinal water sign, ruled by Moon.
Who is Cancer most compatible with?
By element, Taurus, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn and Pisces. That is the oldest rule of thumb; a real compatibility reading compares both full charts.
