Cancer

Overview

It's best for you to deal with small projects or errands. Long, involved tasks are harder for you to complete. Your ability to focus isn't gone, just diminished, so you can get back to that stuff later.

Love for Singles

Things will definitely go well for you today -- almost too well. That's the problem. The stars may lure you into a feeling of confidence verging on arrogance. All it'll take is the wrong word to the wrong person to knock you off your high horse. Watch out!

Love for Couples

Right now, you may feel like hiding and not coming out for anyone, including your partner. It's okay to look inward for a while, but don't spend too long there before you come out again.

Today's Career Prediction

Take care of any payments that need to be made before turning to other business. Your relationships with vendors can be improved and boost your reputation if you're prompt.

Overview

Early this week, you could be taking more time to yourself to practice deep breathing techniques, journal, take long walks around your neighborhood, and just generally look backward in order to move forward. This is a period of rest and reflection, but it’s not a total snoozefest, given that the realizations you come upon now could help inform power moves you’ll make down the road. Later, circumstances could require you to take a cold, hard look at the roots of your most intimate relationships. Insights can make for even more fulfillment. 

Love

This is not a very romantic week for you. On Monday and Tuesday, you're preoccupied with a problem in the domestic realm, and all your energy goes into making that someone (a neighbor, a landlord, possibly a roommate) happy. From Wednesday through Friday, emotional intensity is high, but it doesn't correspond with anything. It's just an abstract heightened state that in a week of placating people and taking care of things exhausts you. This weekend, there's no more placating other people. You've got to do something restorative for yourself.

Travel

Yes, travel's about adventure, but at the beginning of the week, it may be wise to take it slow. An up-to-date guidebook can help you decide what to safely see and do while you get your bearings. Bring your headphones or a book along on Thursday and Friday; you might not feel like chatting with a fellow traveler. This weekend, whether there's a language barrier or not, take care and make sure that you're being understood. It may seem silly to ask something twice, but you might also get more information -- or an insider tip -- the second time around.

This Week's Career Prediction

A new project is not the answer on Monday. Things are not going smoothly in the office at the start of the week. The cranky people are setting the dynamic. On Tuesday, an upheaval of some kind (perhaps a staff transition) is going down. On Wednesday, everyone is rubbing their eyes and feeling funny, including you. It's very important that you do something for yourself on Thursday, maybe even stay home if you can swing it. The flow of energy is erratic at best on Friday. Find a way to motivate yourself. In addition to more time for your own pursuits, the weekend offers rest.

Overview

Ready for Success

Cancer, the sun in your career zone until April 19 means it’s time to stand in the spotlight and promote your talents. If you have a message to share with the world, give it your best shot and don’t hold back. This is exactly the time you should push for that promotion, more business, or any other major goal you’re looking to achieve.

However, with Mercury turning retrograde on the first, there could be a few delays to contend with. The coming three weeks need extra care, especially if you’ll be signing important documents. Things that seemed set in stone might need to be renegotiated or reviewed. But even if you’re held up, this could still work in your favor.

The new moon in Aries on April 8 links to healing Chiron, so if you need to smooth over a relationship that could be helpful to your future progress, this is a great time to go ahead. Equally, a new beginning might be in the cards even if things don’t get off to the speedy start you’d hoped for. Persevere and it will all fall into place.

Your social sector lights up as the sun glides into Taurus on the nineteenth. A positive blend of energies suggests that things are developing at speed in this area of your life. The sun’s presence here highlights opportunities to make some fabulous connections that could be good for you over the long term.

And trust your intuition, especially if you link up with someone from another country or culture or someone with an interesting take on life. An offer they make could be just what you’ve been looking for.

However, the full moon in Scorpio makes a lingering tie to powerful Pluto on April 23, so it might need some careful handling. Before you commit to anything or anyone, think about the potential cost in terms of time, money, and other resources. If it looks like you’re going to lose out, just say no.

Love

The first dreaded Mercury retrograde cycle of the year starts in Aries on April 1, energizing your tenth house and creating subtle competition between your career and your love life. Balance is the key now (especially if you’re in a relationship), so that one area of your life isn’t neglected in favor of the other.

When Venus moves into Aries on the fourth, you need to be with someone who supports your career. If you’re single, look for a partner who complements your professional ambitions, not someone who is jealous of your accomplishments and work connections. A current partner who puts down your job and gives you ultimatums about it raises huge red flags.

The moon, your emotionally supportive leader, is new in red-hot Aries as it creates a solar eclipse on April 8, sparking a new sense of passion and ambition in your love life. You might feel the urge to invest more energy into a current relationship or take the next step with someone you’re attracted to at work. You definitely don’t like being told what you can and cannot do during this upbeat lunation.

There’s a Scorpio full moon to look forward to on the twenty-third, intensifying emotions and encouraging transformation. Use this magical energy to take things to the next level, Cancer. Increased sensuality and physical intimacy are natural outcomes of this powerful lunar phase.

This Month's Career Prediction

This month is introspective and strategic for you. Your long-term goals and aspirations will be illuminated. You will have a strong desire to align your pursuits with your values and ambitions. Focus on building a strong foundation for your future success. This could mean taking classes or expanding networks.

Mercury turns retrograde on April 1. This is a good time to finish projects that have been left on the back burner, or this can also mean that it is a good time for you to sharpen your skills with classes or simply watching videos online. Use your intuition to navigate through communication challenges. You have the right understanding of what others need right now. If you own your business, tap into your emotional intelligence and nurture relationships with clients and partners.

Venus moves into Taurus on the twenty-ninth. This is a great time to leverage your natural empathy to create the right relationships when it comes to moving ahead. April will have you prioritizing long-term plans with a flair for authenticity.
