Time to Hit Refresh
Your New Lustorascope Is Here!
You deserve a break and Cancer season is here to deliver on that promise—so get ready to hit the beach with our favorite water sign (don’t tell Scorpio and Pisces… oh no, they’re standing right behind me, aren’t they?). Cancers are known for their emotional sensitivity above all else, so your extended forecast calls for some major feels. The biggest feeling of them all will be an urge to get your house in order, literally and figuratively. Starting over with a clean slate sounds scary but thanks to some favorable dance moves popping off across the stars, it’ll be like you’re playing through life with cheat codes enabled.
Here’s the breakdown of the major players: Uranus is due to cross into Gemini territory, which it hasn’t done for 84 years! It should line up with some big changes and potential upgrades in your life. Venus will pop by Gemini as well, making for some fun and flirty social interactions. Mercury will go into retrograde near the end of Cancer season, but for most of the time it’ll be stationed in Leo. Since Leo’s so dramatic and filled with passion, so will your communications be—as if Shakespeare was borrowing your phone for a smidge, so gather ye rosebuds while ye may! OK, that one was Robert Herrick, not Shakespeare, but you get the idea!
Aries (March 21 – April 19)
Change Starts at Home, Aries
They say that home is where the heart is, but would your heart be caught dead in your house right now? It’s gonna take some time and effort to get things looking ship shape, but if you’re fresh out of elbow grease, there’s still hope. The new moon is in your fourth house—not like your house house (you probably don’t have four of those) but one of your 12 astrological houses, obvi—which is the one that’s dedicated to home and family. Basically, the universe is telling you it’s time to start fresh by getting your house in order and setting your intentions. It also means that you’re due for some quality time with the fam, and if that relationship needs a bit of sprucing up too, well, there’s no time like Cancer season!
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
Check the Mail, Taurus!
Don’t look up because the real fireworks are headed to your inbox on July 4. It’s hard to say exactly what flavor of earthshaking news you’ll be receiving, but it’s worth mentioning that your girl Venus will be charging up your second house, the one that’s all about that moolah. Since Venus herself is all about cash money (love and beauty too, but hey, a gal’s gotta have hobbies), it sounds like your financial future is looking bright and shiny. There’s more good news on the way: You’ve got the sun firing up your third house which covers a real grab bag of stuff, like your connections with others, sibling relationships, going on short trips, and noticing your immediate surroundings. Add it all together and what do you get? A mini vacay with your sib(s) to take in the local sights might be just the thing.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
Gemini: The Financial Planner?
Hope you had a good birthday! Good news, the party will keep on rocking through Cancer season when you feel inspired to… make a budget?!? It’s true. It seems the sun is shining on your second house (the one that governs finances) and it’s gonna have you asking boring questions like, “Do I really need to splurge on this necklace?” or “Should I set aside some money in a high-yield savings account, y’know, for a rainy day?” Brrr. Hey, some folks are into that whole stability thing, what can we say? You’re about to be one of them! If this change sounds a bit unexpected, that might also have something to do with Uranus, who’s barging into your sign for the first time in decades and shaking things up in surprising ways. And we do hope you like surprises because it seems your new planetary roommate is going to be spending much of the next eight years by your side. Buckle up!
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
Out with the Old, in with the New
Cancer, your season is upon us, and your birthday gift is a new version of yourself. New hairstyle, check. New accessories, double check. New moon on June 25, triple check. This new moon will be a particularly important one for the new you, it’s when you’ll make the big decisions that guide exactly who the you of the future is going to be. New goals, new routines, new everything. If it no longer serves you, it’s going out to the curb on trash day (if your personal baggage is too immense, perhaps they offer some kind of bulk trash program in your area?). If this all seems like a big risk, there’s no need to worry, because Jupiter’s got your back, powering up your transformation from now ‘til Cancer season 2026. So go ahead and take the plunge, you’ll be glad that you did!
Leo (July 23 – August 22)
Breathe Deeper, Daydreamer
Hey, Leo. Do you ever find yourself drifting off into personally fulfilling fantasies throughout the day? If not, now’s the perfect time to start. Here’s the thing—the sun’s in your 12th house and that’s the place that controls rest, dreams, intuition, and those subtle, hidden secrets that your conscious mind doesn’t know about you yet. So take a step far from the madding crowd, snap on an eyemask, and delve deeply into your big, beautiful brain. As a warm-up for your actual birthday gifts next month, your dreams will reveal exciting truths in regards to your romantic longings (hubba hubba), career goals, arguments you really want to have and win, mystifying past relationships that never got the closure they deserved, your perfect knockout karaoke anthem, nothing is out of bounds. Finding clarity is the name of the game, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have fun playing it.
Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
Find Your People, Virgo
Cancer season has you putting your social life under the microscope. That’s on account of the sun energizing your 11th house, which is the one in charge of your friendships and social groups. The reason you’re reexamining your relationships (remember the microscope?) instead of hitting the town with your besties is the introspective streak you’re catching from the movements of Mercury. You’ll switch into full-blown detective mode once it goes retrograde toward the end of Cancer season. But what good will all this investigation do for you? Well, you’re about to figure out which friends are going to be with you for the long haul, the ones that are most aligned with you mentally, spiritually, emotionally, the whole kitten caboodle. If your current friends aren’t gonna cut the mustard, it’s time to get out there and make some new connections.
Libra (September 23 – October 22)
Keep It Profesh, Libra
When it comes to balance, Libras have been there, done that, bought the t-shirt, you name it. It’s your whole thing and everybody knows it. The big news is that your unique ability to take two things, no matter how complex, and keep them running in tandem is about to make you a superstar around the office. It’s no coincidence that all this is going down while the sun’s in Cancer shining a light on your 10th house, you guessed it, the career house. Now’s the time to level up, that means going after a big promotion or a raise (why not both?). You deserve it and your inherently diplomatic nature makes you the perfect person to state your case. All you need is a nudge in the right direction to get the ball rolling. How about the new moon on June 25? It might be a bit soon, but hey, you know what they say about early birds and worms and all that jazz.
Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)
Let’s Get Funky, Scorpio
You’re going on a trip this Cancer season, and how literal you want to take that is up to you. That’s all due to the sun sparking your ninth house, which for those of you playing along at home, is the house that governs travel, spiritual growth, and philosophy. So yeah, you might just hit the road and take in the scenery of a new, exotic locale or you might be going on a magic carpet ride that’d make even the classic rock group Steppenwolf blush. ‘Cause they did that song “Magic Carpet Ride.” You get it. Anyway, whether your journey is physical or metaphysical, you’ll come out of it having learned a lot about what makes you tick. You’re not alone on your quest, either. Your planet, Mars, is undergoing a similar cosmic reset for the next several weeks as it moves through Virgo.
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
Get Comfy, Sagittarius
Draw back your bow and let your arrow flow because everything is coming up Sagittarius! Jupiter, your power planet, is sitting in its strongest position in the sky, soaking up sun rays. This lucky placement happens only once every 12 years, so you’d best make the most out of it! Speaking of the sun, it also happens to be charging up your eighth house—that’s the one in charge of intimacy, transformation, and shared resources… yeah, it’s a weird combo. These emotional vibes (and their friend, shared resources?) will be multiplied by the new moon in Cancer on June 25. Don’t be surprised to find yourself in a deeply romantic moment or two that’ll turn your love life on its head. And maybe if there’s some time left, you might even share some resources. ;)
Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)
Make Time for Love, Capricorn
No mystery here, the days ahead are looking pretty straight-forward for you. By which we mean this: The sun is energizing your seventh house, the realm of agreements, compromise, partners, and significant others. See where we’re going with this one? Cancer season will bring your intimate relationships into focus and compel you to make peace in the name of love, harmony, and all that good stuff. Whatever tensions or petty, bitter grievances you’ve had on simmer for the last month or two are finally going to be poured out into the sink so that you can cook up something new together. Whatever that may be, make sure you add in a liberal amount of spice and get ready to turn up the heat!
Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)
Let’s Get Busy, Aquarius
Ah yes, the eternal question we must all answer at life’s most pivotal moments: Working hard or hardly working? For you, Aquarius, it is the former, which is to say that you’re going to be working your booty off for the foreseeable future thanks to a confluence of juggernaut Jupiter and the superpowered sun lighting up your sixth house like a glowstick on steroids. This would all be well and good if the sixth house were the one in charge of free kittens and youthful under-eyes. But no, it’s the work house. Your workload is going to be incredibly overwhelming, but if there’s a silver lining to be found here it’s that you’ll certainly learn what you're capable of this Cancer season! And you can always schedule a teensy bit of playtime here and there, we won’t tell anyone…
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Pisces of My Heart
No cold fish here—your love story from Gemini season is still going strong into Cancer. It’s all thanks to the sun powering up your fifth house, the house of love and passion. Your romantic prospects are going to make for some sparkling encounters and steamy rendezvous in the next few weeks. This is made all the more intimate by a visit from lovely Venus to your home sector on July 4, as if you needed the extra help! As we get into the back half of July, a couple of notable retrogrades (Mercury, Neptune) will have you doing a bit of experimentation and soul searching, which could take your romantic escapades into uncharted territory.
