You may have an opportunity to travel, perhaps with or to see a younger sibling or grandparent. Diplomacy in communication is critical right now. Use all available means to stay in touch -- email, text, phone and social media. Others appreciate your creative spirit so share art, song, photos or dance with loved ones. Work, home and family all make demands of you and you are prepared to meet them. You are mentally astute and energized, making this a good time to take up new challenges. Be ready to work hard and keep yourself on task and motivated. Focus on one particular task at a time. Do one thing and do it well.

This Saturday, emotions could run high, and when you feel vulnerable, your instinct may be to retreat into your shell. Instead, try to stay open when tough conversations arise. People need to know how you REALLY feel, Cancer. It’s time to express yourself authentically, even if there’s a conflict involved. Been avoiding a friend because of an annoying habit? Now’s the perfect moment to hash it out and bring the love back in. On Sunday, boundary hound Saturn chimes in when it opposes the Virgo moon. As a solitude-loving Cancer, you can be equal parts family-oriented and self-sovereign. Yet this habit of swinging between moods may be affecting the quality of your closest relationships. You’ll never have a chance to truly connect to people if you’re always pulling away. Figure out the right amount of involvement and say (for example), “I can come by for an hour” or “I can’t take on a chair position, but I CAN do X.” When you know where the exit ramp is, you may have an easier time staying put.
