Cancer September 2025

CANCER SEXES IT UP! Please don’t tell me you didn’t “get some” following Beauty & Love Queen Venus cohabiting with lucky Jupiter in your sign for 25 days. (July 30 – August 25.) You’ve been at your most sexy and charismatic – more than during the whole rest of the year – and despite your isolationist tendencies and love of hibernation, someone must have adored you enough during this time to love you properly.

At least, I hope so. And if so, I must say I’m happy for you, Cancer, because it’s all been about money and finances otherwise.

Publicly how you’ve been viewed at times has been challenging, even hurtful, with Saturn retrograde darkening your most public tenth house of professional image. Thus, you channel your emotion into the urge to make more money.

You channel your deep emotions into a more material obsession – like survival, he he – and thus, you survive. From ancient times.

This is a complete 180 from how you are viewed in your private life, btw. You’re appreciated for what and who you really are in your private life.

So some private loving may have been necessary for your very psychic survival.

And as Jack Nicholson wrote so prolifically in The Shining,

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.

A thousand times.

For all you seem to have been doing is work to try to make more money.

And you worry, worry, worry.

But now I see you spending a lot on a project close to your heart – and it’s worth every penny. Happy news for you who have suffered, feeling stuck and stymied in order to save money. Go for your dreams, however partners may protest!

You have a wonderful golden window from August 25 to September 2 — 8 days — when both lovey Venus and brilliant Mercury cohabitate in your second financial house, and it must be said, money is very good as August ends and September begins. After quite a worrying dry patch.

Particularly for Crab writers, and all Crab creators as your third house of words and communications is so favored from August 23 on. You receive a flood of ideas from now through September 22.

For coupled Cancers with partners: do think of why your partner might be protesting? Just a thought.

You can make great strides, Crab, but it is important to stay practical and realistic, and to be safety conscious. Accidents can happen. Also please steer clear of polluted environments and people. Viruses can be rampant; make sure to keep your computer safe too. You will have help here, as in your third house of words and the internet you have:

Awesome, life-giving Sun

A new exacting Virgo Moon – it’s all in the details – August 23*

Brilliant thought and word planet Mercury from September 2 (until September 18)

Beautiful Venus, planet of love and beauty from September 19 (until October 13)

The Virgo Solar Eclipse New Moon September 21

Because your ruler is the emotional Moon you experience a double whammy compared to other signs during an eclipse, including three days before and after. Eclipses tend to catapult us forward into inevitable change. More to come on this, Cancer!

Your third house, traditionally ruled by curious and articulate Gemini, covers these areas of your life:

All forms of communication, particularly writing and anything involving words

The internet and all forms of social media

Thinking and mental activity

Analysis

Expression

Talking, texting, posting, messaging, emailing, etc.

Journals, blogs, newspapers, paperbacks, kindle

TV, radio

Siblings, cousins, old pals

Neighbors

Short trips in the neighborhood

Cars, bikes, buses, trains

Versatility and movement

Your arms and shoulders

Your ability to learn

The lesson here is about your commitment. Are you prepared to prioritize and go after what you want?

Gemini’s gestures to impress cease – and he can be exactly who he is. Libra can stop trying to please friends and social groups and just be herself. Aries can be truthful about his passions, Taurus about her parents’ origins, Cancer about finances, Leo about his maturing body, Capricorn about what she has shared, Aquarius about what agreements he made, and so on. Uncomfortable initially, but such relief.

You have a liberating Virgo Solar Eclipse New Moon approaching in your third house September 21 and you will express something that will be so close to your heart, to your soul, to who you are, that you cannot fail to reach people. This proves to be a signifying point in your life, and the beginning of a new chapter for you.

Funnily enough, transportation or logistic issues may also want to be addressed around this time. Such as cars, trains, buses, traveling to a certain place over and over. You may have to decide whether it is worth it to put your money into your present get-around method or vehicle, or whether there’s a better option to consider. By September 21, I see you thinking of something better.

Soon you’ll be asked to dump what isn’t working, to pare down, to cut your losses, and to move on. It also may be time to consider a new educational or advertising strategy, to upgrade your skills, or to move in an altogether new direction re career or social involvement. At some point you’ll need to confront whatever personal essential, dilemma, or relationship issue you’ve been avoiding.

Relationship partners have certainly been acting quite insane…and for good reason.

You have a lot more power than you realize, especially when you get angry and speak out. So, again, please be careful. Those who love you are far more affected than perhaps you realize.

After the excesses and exaggeration of Leo in public a very different emphasis is coming our way. During Virgo Month (until September 23) show-offs will be out, making repairs will be in.

Virgo is the “virgin” as in virgin olive oil, the purest of essences. Virgo is all about purity, so over the next month organic becomes a stronger force. All over the world. Many crises. That will be the hard part.

Virgo Moon loves to fix things. Make all better.

Improvements, improvements, everywhere.

For you, following TWO Virgo New Moons and one Virgo Solar Eclipse in your third house the greatest improvements happen here. In your self-expression and in your written word. Ironically, this also improves your self-esteem and self-love. The second house also rules self-worth!

Paring down will make you feel better about yourself! Declutter, toss out, minimalize. Incredible strength and new energy is released when you do this.

As much as you hate change, try to feel grateful, Cancer, as it will ultimately be for the best, weeding something out that was not helping your progress. While you may have critical decisions to make, at least you are being presented with more to think about, and this in itself is a good thing.

In other news, you’re very concentrated on an old wish or goal and – WHY do you keep torturing yourself about your lack of time? – you have plenty of time to accomplish it. So no need to worry any further about this.

Expect all activity and thought and feelings in this area to shift, and very nicely. You will not ever be the same again, dear Crab.

You will need to plan your time more carefully once the changes begin to come in.

For right now, as you’re reading this horoscope for example, you’re probably a little tired of thinking about all this anyway. Maybe you just need some good ole LOVING! You have been working and keeping on for so long. And now, here we are, full circle, back to the beginning of your horoscope!

Please, I beg of you, take time off to go on dates.

Yes, DATES. I said it. Coupled, attached, or single.

Whether you’re single or married, you need to go on some regular old-fashioned DATES. And that rattled feeling that has been rattling around inside of you will start to leave.
