Happy almost-birthday, Cancer! With the Sun in your 1st house, you're deeply connected to your identity, but the square to your ruling Moon in your 4th house of home and family might bring a challenge between your personal needs and your domestic responsibilities. This First Quarter Moon phase asks you to make a decision about how you nourish yourself emotionally.

Mercury is retrograde in your 1st house, encouraging you to reflect on how you present yourself to the world, and it's making a harmonious sextile to Venus in your 3rd house. This is a lovely combination for rethinking your communication style or revisiting old connections with siblings. However, Mercury also squares Saturn in your 10th house, so be mindful that your self-expression might encounter some serious scrutiny in your career or public life.

Mars in your 12th house, making a helpful sextile to Saturn, suggests that behind-the-scenes efforts related to your career are gaining traction, even if you’re doing the quiet, foundational work. Jupiter in your 2nd house continues to bless your finances and self-worth, reminding you of your inherent value.
