Cancer
While the Sun won't return to Cancer to begin your birthday month and new solar year until Saturday, as Jupiter settles into his first full week here and of a new 12 year Jupiter cycle of expansion, new doors are already starting to open. Thanks to Mercury's return a day before Jupiter last week, you already have your head in the game, and your mental focus is on the road ahead rather than the road behind. The fact that when the Sun leaves a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart and returns to Cancer on Saturday, this will leave it empty for the first time since May 2024, will add to a sense that this really is a time for new beginnings. Meanwhile, the Sun isn't the only one on the move this week, with Mars ending his longest visit to your income sector in two decades on Tuesday. While this will leave your income sector empty until Mercury returns later next week, as he won't leave until September, this will keep the momentum going. Meanwhile, held back by a retrograde phase, this will see Mars finally return to your communication sector to begin his war on communication and mental barriers in two years.
Cancer
Last week, the Moon returned for its monthly visit to your romantic and relationship sectors and the timing was critical. Last week began with the Moon in your romantic sector, just as Mercury and Jupiter were returning to Cancer. While the Moon was ahead of them, so they made no direct contact, as you moved into a new 12 year Jupiter cycle of expansion and into a year full of the potential for major new beginnings, these romantically charged lunar vibes hinted that this would also be a good year for matters of the heart. For while the Moon was only moving through with the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment not only here until October but not leaving until backup arrives, this really will be an exceptional year for matters of the heart. Giving you a further taste of things to come will be Mercury's friendly aspect to Juno midweek and a sense of romance, adventure and nostalgia that is set to come together over the weekend. Meanwhile, as the planet of communication, Mercury was able to give the Moon's return to your relationship sector late last week a voice.
