Highlights of the week August 12 through 18, 2024 for Cancer based on major astrological aspects.
Dear Cancer,
The week from August 12th to 18th, 2024, represents the last full week of the Leo season, a period when the Sun energizes your 2nd house of income and financial stability. While you may experience positive shifts in your financial realm, other matters will command your attention this week.
As a Cancer, your zodiac sign is characterized by a strong inclination toward consistency and stability. You are a creature of habit, finding comfort in the known and familiar. This attachment makes it difficult for you to let go of the past and move forward. Given your emotional nature, this can seem almost impossible at times. However, if you recognize that certain relationships, beliefs, habits, or other limitations are hindering your growth, you'll face a reality check where you need to rediscover a balance of interests and harmony.
On August 14th, the courageous Mars and fortunate Jupiter will come together in the constellation of Gemini, affecting your 12th house of acceptance and completions. This alignment offers a unique opportunity for you to finally address what you've been postponing with your inherent persistence. This aspect is rare—Jupiter and Mars only meet every two years, with their last conjunction in your 12th house occurring way back in 1989. In other words, this celestial event can provide you with the decisiveness you've been lacking, inspiring you to embrace necessary changes. Consider what issue or problem has been occupying your thoughts throughout the year; the time has come to act and act decisively. Focus on what you can gain rather than the difficulties associated with change, which essentially boils down to adaptation.
It’s also important to remember that Mercury is currently retrograde in the constellation of Virgo, primarily affecting your communication channels. Every time Mercury goes retrograde, it can muddle your thoughts and plans. Fortunately, alongside the favorable aspect of Jupiter and Mars, Mercury will offer a brief respite on Wednesday, August 14th. On this day, Mercury will move away from your 3rd house and return to the centered energy of Leo, impacting your 2nd house of money, security, and stability. However, don’t rush to make changes to your budget or impose restrictions on your spending. Instead, focus primarily on your major goals.
Take this week as an opportunity to reassess, realign, and reinforce your plans. Embrace the supportive cosmic energies to bring balance and harmony back into your life, reinforcing your path toward greater stability and growth.
