Cancer is welcoming the Moon in its embrace today, besties, what will this lunation and the other celestial motions bring?
Before the Moon arrives in Cancer, the Moon in Gemini will first encounter Venus in Leo and Neptune in Pisces. The Venus-Neptune quincunx is encouraging us to socialize—and maybe even fall in love—while reminding us to not get lost in the feelings too quickly. It’s cosmically a good time for love while being realistic about it.
Then the Moon arrives in Cancer. The Cancer Moon craves peace. This lunation demands comfort and quiet. It wishes for healing. It is nurturing and protective. The Cancer Moon is sensitive, sometimes to a fault.
Then the Moon sextiles with Mars in Virgo, leaving motivation in its path.
And with all of that said, let’s check today’s love forecast:
Aries (March 21 – April 19)
Is it a good day for love, Aries? It’s a good day to leave the past in the past. This isn’t to say you can’t bring what you’ve learned to the present though, if old patterns emerge, take note. However, don’t let it prevent you from living life to its fullest potential. Remind yourself that you are allowed to grow, to love again, and to accept love that will make you feel good. As the Moon moves into Cancer and into your domestic fourth, some quiet time might do you some good.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
Is it a good day for love, Taurus? It’s a good day to have meaningful conversations. Just because you’ve known someone for a long time doesn’t mean there isn’t more to learn about them. In fact, there probably are things that were lost in the hustle and bustle of the day-to-day. Let yourself be surprised, let yourself find new reasons to love the people you already love. As the Moon moves into Cancer and into your communication-driven third house, say what you need to say.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
Is it a good day for love, Gemini? It’s a good day to set priorities straight. There’s a lot of confidence and trust in our own abilities lingering in the air right now as the Moon moves from our sign into Cancer, straight to our responsible second house. Things might feel like it’s falling into place and we just gotta trust the process. Love-wise, let love come when it needs to. When it’s ready. This kind of love doesn’t rush, so why are you? Don’t get distracted and do what you need to, fellow Gem, what’s for you is already on its way.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
Is it a good day for love, Cancer? It’s a good day to plan. The Venus-Neptune transit might make you feel restless about what needs changing in your life: work, love (especially love), friends, etc. Don’t be hasty, bestie! Ruminate on it. Think about the outcomes, the possibilities! Make the necessary plans and don’t let emotions get in the way. It’s easier to convince others to see your vision if your vision is clear. Break a leg, Cancer!
Leo (July 23 – August 22)
Is it a good day for love, Leo? It’s a good day to feel the feelings. The contradictory Venus-Neptune celestial motion might get you up into your feelings way too much, maybe even more than you can truly handle. Trust that this too shall pass, bestie, so feel what is necessary. If you need the support of your nearest and dearest, ask for it. There is no shame in that. Later, as the Cancer Moon moves into your healing twelfth house, you might be better equipped to handle the emotions. All the best, Leo.
Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
Is it a good day for love, Virgo? It’s a good day to not get lost in the what ifs and the could have beens. Things didn’t work out for a reason, Virgo, and you best remember that when the past calls to you. Focus on what you can change now, on what you can control to get away from frustrations. However, when the going gets tougher than it already is, lean into your support system. Let them show up for you.
Libra (September 23 – October 22)
Is it a good day for love, Libra? It’s a good day to wait it out. Indecision will come in handy today, Libra, try not to make big life-shifting decisions today even if you’re being pressured by your circle—no matter how near and dear they are! It’s your life, so decide when you feel surer and more emotionally stable. The Moon moving into Cancer in your laser-focused tenth house and its subsequent sextile with Mars in Virgo in your insular twelfth might just be that contemplating force you need. Wait it out, Libra.
Scorpio (October 23 – November 22)
Is it a good day for love, Scorpio? It’s a good day to remind yourself to work hard and play hard. You’re not only your responsibilities, Scorpio. In reverse, you are not as untethered as you might want. Try to find your balance instead of getting frustrated. By afternoon EDT, the Moon arrives in Cancer and into your house of the Great Perhaps, subsequently forming a sextile with Mars in your social house. Have fun, Scorpio! Meet new people, try new things, learn something different, fall in love, and fall out of it. Be open to what awaits!
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
Is it a good day for love, Sagittarius? It’s a good day to focus on what you can do. Sagittarius, it’s exhausting to constantly fight fate, no matter how fun you think it might be, spare yourself the trouble. Let exes remain exes and in the same respect, let potential love find its own pace. Don’t rush, bestie, you are exactly where you currently need to be.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)
Is it a good day for love, Capricorn? It’s a good day to trust your support system. Today might frustrate you, Capricorn, with tasks piling up despite it being a weekend. Trust that your support system will pull up and have your back, especially as the Moon arrives in Cancer in your house of partnerships. Trust the connections you’ve made and will make. You being half of the partnership is already enough reason to trust it.
Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)
Is it a good day for love, Aquarius? It’s a good day to take it one step at a time. Exercise patience, Aquarius, especially as the Moon arrives in Cancer in your task and wellness-oriented sixth house. It will pay to go slow, to take it lightly, to take care of yourself despite being busy. Also, ask for support from your partner or friends if you need it. Let people show up for you.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Is it a good day for love, Pisces? It’s a good day to find what makes your heart sing. Good just isn’t good enough, bestie. Try not to settle for just okay, find what makes your heart and soul sing in delight. Whether it’s a person, an activity, or a situation, choose what will get your heart rate up. Life’s too short to settle, Pisces. Experience what else life can give.
