Cancer

August 2025

Sweet Cancer has both Saturn and Neptune sitting strong in your tenth house of all things professional. Saturn and Neptune will sit together thru the rest of this month and then Saturn will fall back into Pisces and some things calm down. But be aware that next year both of these planets will be back in Aries and demanding attention. Cancer may be thinking of retiring if you are the right age. And if you are younger then you might be thinking of starting your own business. This is a strong energy that can take you in a new business direction. The year 2025 is about getting new ideas and looking at your professional future in a new way. Next year, in 2026, is when many of these new ideas take hold and start to take shape.


You begin August with Venus sitting pretty in your first house of self and sitting next to your Sun. Good for you. This placement is a blessing and people generally just like you and want to be around you. A wonderful time to ask for favors or any help needed. This is very social and can also be romantic. So if you are married then this Venus can bring the two of you even closer together. And if you are single, then this is a great time to get out there and meet new people. Very creative and beautiful. You may want to veg a bit and stop working so hard, but it isn't the right time. On the 26th Venus will leave your first house but as it enters the second house there can be some extra money coming your way. Your job is to just say thank-you and let it flow. Mercury is still retrograde until the 11th of August. A good idea to double-check all bills and statements as retrograde energy can sometimes show up in financial mistakes.


With Mars making a change and moving into the sign of Libra on August 7th and enter the fourth house of home and family. There may be some project that will have you being around family more. It is a good time to do any work on the house that you have been putting off. Maybe working in the yard or talking to a contractor about updating some part of your home. You get on a cleaning and organizing kick and want everything to look good. There may be more money spent on home and family this month.
