Cancer Horoscope August 2022

Emotional Activist

Action planet Mars is active in Taurus and your friendship and group sector as soon as the month begins. There’s a Mars-Uranus conjunction in Taurus on the 1st/2nd and it’s here where there’s potentially passion & fury. 

You might be involved with a protest group or have activist friends whose alternative views shake you into action. There’s an added factor too because the karmic North Node is involved, creating a triple conjunction. You may sense the wheel of fortune turning as the month begins, leading you towards or away from a group of people.

Perhaps, you’re shocked by other people’s behaviour or you’re the one who shocks others by your decisions. When it comes to friends and group activities, there’s excitement and adventure. Friends could come and go or someone could let you down unexpectedly. 

Alternatively, you might be around people who you find incredibly diverse and exciting, bringing something new and different into your life. Do whatever feels right for you and listen out for the signposts that may guide you in an intuitive way.

Freedom is a key feature this month, so consider what this means for you. You may be rebelling or fighting for freedom.

This might be regarding world events. Or, perhaps you’re on a personal crusade to defend your rights. Whatever your personal situation, you can’t do this alone. Find your gang, your tribe and join forces together.

Lovely Venus

The planet of relating Venus is in your star sign Cancer up until the 11th. This is a gentler vibe and you may enjoy the planet of love & indulgence, art & beauty gracing your star sign.

This can be a gorgeous time for love when there’s a sense of ease in your close relationships. You may enjoying being around certain people and savour simple pleasures.

You have charm in abundance when Venus is in your star sign so use your popularity and attract who or what you want into your life. The 2nd & 3rd could prove exciting for love. These are dates when love and friendship are linked.

You may feel more abundant or flush than you have for some time. Or, perhaps you’re ready to treat yourself and the ones you love.

Money Talks

Certainly, this is a significant month for money matters. This is because of the inner planets moving through Leo and your personal money sector. Talk planet Mercury starts the month in Leo, the planet of relating Venus enters Leo on the 11th and the Sun is here until the 23rd.

Therefore, this is an ideal time to engage with money, your values and self-worth. Consider what money means to you, whether you have enough or you want to earn more.

You may have to spend money on your home or your family. Or, you could choose to help the ones you love. You may decide to take a stay-cation to save money and seek more sun, fun and pleasure in your daily life.

Talk planet Mercury is in Virgo and your communication and community sector from the 4th to the 26th. Team up with other people and share advice and support.

Also, the New Moon falls in Virgo on the 27th, a symbol of new beginnings. Reach out on this date, whether you speak or write, communication is the key.

Full Moon Aquarius

Before then, this month’s Full Moon on the 12th highlights the financial axis of your horoscope and is a pivotal moment in the month. Full Moons bring matters to completion, there can be culmination or achievement linked to the Full Moon phase.

Yet, this is a challenging Full Moon so you’re wise to get practical and pay attention to the logistics of life. This may mean dealing with money matters, perhaps linked to a legal issue. Aquarius is the star sign that rules joint finances in your horoscope. Saturn’s here too, representing the authorities.

Saturn is the realist and taps you into the more frugal side of your Cancer nature. Try not to fall into fear or let scarcity take hold.

Use this Full Moon to make a clear decision about money and get real about what you can and can’t afford. This may mean stopping a payment or minimising expenses. Do what you know is right and feels right too.

Trust your natural instincts around money during the Full Moon. This may mean being willing to let go of or be less attached to money, assets or possessions. Mars and Uranus clash with the Full Moon. Therefore, you can’t rule out a shock around money, perhaps linked to a friend or group situation.

Being a Sun sign Cancer, security matters to you both financially and emotionally. This could be the main trigger for the key decisions you make moving forward. 

Inner Work

Also, it’s important this month to find a way to lessen your stress levels. You might not want to take on too much or put added pressure on yourself. Mars is the planet that represents anger and Mars enters Gemini and the most hidden sector of your horoscope on the 20th.

Take care that you don’t turn your anger in on yourself. If you’re feeling irritated or frustrated, find a positive outlet for your emotions. The same goes for any form of negative thinking. Do whatever you can to knock it on the head and not be overly critical of yourself.

This combination indicates that you may be working behind the scenes or be busy with a project which you’re not yet ready to show the world. You’re collecting your thoughts or getting ideas together.

There’s no rush to take things further if you choose not to and it could take longer than you expect as Mars spends an unusually long time in Gemini, seven months in all. Mars only enters your star sign Cancer in March 2023.

This means it’s wise to prioritise the work you do on yourself and take good care of you. If you enjoy reading, lose yourself in books. If writing or journalling help clear your busy mind, start a daily writing ritual.

Take your time when it comes to personal issues and projects. Know that it’s enough that you’re working steadily towards them.
