Happy Birthday Cancer 2026

How you look to the world may require some defending now. In this light, your career has also been and will continue to go through a shift. You’ll find that things have become a lot more competitive and that there may also be some gossip emanating from places that seem to be untraceable for you. Rather than wasting your energy and searching out the culprit(s), you would do better to promote your own actions into the ear of the people who hold the strings involving your preferences and performance. Being up front and direct will leave any gossips in the dust. Put your energy where it will be the most effective and do the most good for you. Cancers generally don’t blow their own horn. This will be good practice for you.

This is an important time to either set and/or reinforce your own values, recognize how you perceive yourself, clarify what you believe you offer the world and if or why you might do so. The landscape in which we operate has been rapidly changing and the values that you once thought were apparent to everyone are becoming buried in a whole host of irrational and selfish memes projected by an envious and lazy group of people who are attempting to take your allegiance and resources. The challenge is to rely on your own feelings rather that listening to and following the “experts.” Setting your own traditions is now of paramount importance and, if you’re strong enough, they will remain with you from here on out.

On or around the 27^th you should expect the pace of what you need to do step up. For the next twenty months, until March of 2028, the pressure will be on for you to separate what is expected of you from what you actually believe is necessary for your stability and survival. Set your boundaries so they are clearly understood by those who might demand activity different from what you believe is in your best interest. Don’t be shy. Those who would usurp your autonomy will play on your compassion and good nature. Stand firm and don’t explain yourself. If you don’t give them reasons for why you choose what you choose, they will have nothing to invalidate.

July 2026 Astrolights

The pace of things is about to step up in speed and intensity. We begin the month with Neptune turning retrograde away from Saturn in Aries. This will distort the newest structure that has been imposed by Saturn but allow us to review and adjust the ground previously covered by both Saturn and Neptune over the last five months. With Venus moving into Virgo on the 9^th, she will help us to clarify and discriminate what they have done thus far. With the Moon turning new in Cancer on the 14^th, our traditions will be at the center of any discrepancies.

On the 20^th, Jupiter will make an exact opposition to Pluto in Aquarius from Leo. According to Alan Oken, this speaks of increased mass persecution of religions and/or philosophies relative to the cultural changes that we have been enduring. This could pertain to antisemitism, islamophobia, socialist indoctrination, anti-Christianism and those in the limelight representing these forces. Since we will be experiencing our nation’s 250^th anniversary, I think it will become very clear what it is that we might be dealing with.

On the 26^th, Saturn will turn retrograde in Aries and join Neptune in retracing our steps through recent social and political changes. Additionally, the day after on the 27^th, the lunar nodes will change signs from Virgo/Pisces to Leo/Aquarius. This will drag Pluto into the picture even more. To add insult to injury, on the 29^th, the Moon becomes full in an almost exact conjunction with Pluto in Aquarius. These combined energies will create an almost irresistible force. It is likely that we will have a showdown between forces trying to dominate our social and political structure. In adding all this energy to our problems, I fear that violence will become much more deadly and pronounced.

The shift in nodal energies from Virgo/Pisces to Leo/Aquarius changes their affecting agents from Mercury, Jupiter and Neptune to Sun, Saturn and Uranus. Nothing more of our difficulties will remain cloaked through Neptune’s fog. All will be out in the open and our values, patience and resolve will be severely tested. Does the majority of our nation have the will, the strength and intestinal fortitude to see us through this? Or will we melt into the apathetic Woke of our latest challenges and lose our great country? Only time will tell…
