Cancer Weekly horoscope for May 6 to May 12, 2024

Moving into the new working week with the Moon in your career sector will always be an advantage, ensuring your professional instincts are sharp and you are emotionally and intuitively engaged from the start. However, this will also make you more aware of the sea change that has taken place. This time last week Venus was just leaving your career sector, the Sun had been gone for nine days and Mercury was still at a standstill having just turned direct three days earlier. Fast forward a week and with the Moon having come full circle from last month's eclipsing New Moon, everything has changed. A week on Mercury is not only speeding up but instead of slowing down, Mars' return to your career sector last week has fired things up and will do for the next six weeks. This will continue even though the Moon moves on, with a New Moon on Wednesday the epicentre of what will be a stunning week across the communication, friendship and relationship fronts.

Love & Romance

Having begun last week with the Moon in your relationship sector, this has not only left you more emotionally engaged, but more aware of your relationship needs and priorities. The Moon was here when Venus, the planet of love returned to your friendship sector while a friendly aspect to the Sun and both planets there got the week off to a positive start when it comes to friendship and relationship building. While that was last week, this week that support will strengthen the closer you get to a friendly aspect between the Sun in your friendship and the dwarf planet Ceres in your relationship sector that will peak over the weekend. With Venus due to move into the same aspect next week, this is a trend that will continue. Meanwhile, the week begins with Venus just starting to separate from a friendly aspect to the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment and especially commitment to your relationships in your communication sector that peaked over the weekend.

Business & Career

A week after Venus left your career sector and over two weeks since the Sun left, the Moon's return over the weekend should have been a chance to start tying up loose ends as the focus shifts from getting things up to speed and onto the journey itself. Instead, the Moon has returned to find that everything until now has been just the warm up and instead of scaling things, things are firing up to a whole new level. This is thanks to Mars' return last week, when two days after Venus left he returned for his first chance in two years to fire up your professional passions, fighting and competitive spirit and to stoke the fires of this professional year. The Moon has come full circle from last month's eclipsing New Moon, for what is a chance for a reset as you launch into this new phase. With Mercury back in direct motion but leaving next week, this is making it easier to keep your head in the game and to think on your feet, while giving you a better sense of where to channel Mars' warrior and competitive spirit.

Money

As you move into the new week you are still adjusting to and getting a feel for Pluto's retrograde turn in your financial sector last week, something that thanks to the Moon you already have a jump on. By Monday Pluto has only been in retrograde motion for three days, so this is still very new, but with the Moon there at the time, you had your finger on the pulse and ear to the ground as the tide turned. The Moon left just after Pluto's retrograde turn, but there at the time this gave you an intuitive read on the planet of change and transformation's shift in focus from the road ahead to the road behind. In retrograde motion now until later in the year, while Pluto is still focused on the changes you can make in order to take your financial power back, rather than projecting ahead there is a chance to use hindsight as your guide. At the same time, this has given you a chance to pause as you reset your approach to money matters.

Health

The week is likely to get off to a busy start and as we approach the middle months of the year, you are likely to be starting to juggle more and more balls. This is something that the Moon will put to the test when it moves through a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart from Thursday to Saturday, something that will bring an invitation to slow down and put yourself first. At this point this is nothing more than an invitation and hopefully, a chance to slow down and recharge your batteries. However, there is a need to take heed, for this is something that will become harder rather than easier as the year progresses.
