This Week

This week invites you into a period of reflection and release, dear Cancer. As the Moon wanes from Leo into Scorpio, moving toward the New Moon on Sunday, you're being gently asked to let go of what no longer serves your emotional truth. Mercury's retrograde dance through Scorpio asks you to revisit conversations and connections with fresh eyes—this is a time for listening inward rather than rushing outward. By week's end, the New Moon in Scorpio opens a portal for quiet new beginnings.
