Overview for this Month: Cancer (All)
March 2021 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Cancer:
Changing up routines is attractive this month with an emphasis on the adventure sector of your solar chart, dear Cancer. Even so, there is a considerable focus on healing, resting, and tying up loose ends as Mars heads into the sign just behind yours on the 3-4. You might gain the motivation and energy to handle a matter that has been on your mind for some time.
Life's bigger questions intrigue you more than usual in March. You're more interested in exotic topics than familiar ones, and new viewpoints and perspectives lift your spirits. You're finding ways to improve relationships through greater patience and understanding.
Extra rest is crucial this month, but refreshing activities are essential, too. Learning new things and reaching beyond your usual bounds figure strongly. Even so, as you deal with loose ends, much is going on behind the scenes and in your emotional world. You might take a time-out or period of repose and recuperation. Or, you're making more time for spring cleaning in your psyche.
With Mars in this hidden area of your chart, you can be incredibly motivated to do something about a difficult situation or burden. Putting something behind you is best accomplished before the New Moon on the 13th. You're reviewing the past and the sacrifices you are currently making. Your inner world is animated! The conventional sources for sharing may not be as straightforward or available. Your desires are more complex than usual, and when you do know what you want, you may not see an easy way to go after it! These themes can lead to creative solutions and detours, particularly around the 17-18 and 20-21.
While you're open to exploring, expanding, and experiencing new things in many ways, you have much "work" to do on the inside. You can be very contemplative this month. You'll benefit greatly from actively seeking out ways to heal and de-stress and deal with self-limiting fears and attitudes. It's an excellent time to handle things you might usually avoid or put off, as you want to put your efforts into endeavors that have a long-term impact.
You're unlikely to jump to assert yourself this month, as you first consider how this might impact others' lives and your own. There can be some bottling up of anger or desires. Parts of you are on a symbolic retreat, and this is good for you. If you've been overdoing things, it's now clear that you need to pace yourself.
The New Moon on the 13th stimulates your need for more spirited living and learning as it brings on a symbolic fresh start. This lunation puts the focus on your spirit to grow, explore, and expand beyond the ordinary experiences in your life. Events occurring now and in the coming weeks can serve to push you out of your routine and your comfort zone. You're learning new things or finding inspiration through different experiences or perspectives. Publishing opportunities, money ideas, or money itself can emerge in unusual ways.
From the 20-21 forward, you give more and more attention to your career, responsibilities, reputation, and long-term goals. This period brings the Sun and Venus to the top of your solar chart and can point to an achievement or an increased desire to perform and excel. It's a more ambitious period of the year–a time when you're especially goal-oriented.
The Full Moon on the 28th is highly revealing and romantic. It's a time for discovering your feelings on a matter and then redirecting your life in fundamental ways with this new knowledge in mind. Homelife can need extra attention. It's a beautiful time to understand your needs more clearly and spend more time understanding the needs of those closest to you.
Venus works magic on your reputation or career and relationships with elders, bosses, parents, and teachers from the 21st. This is a solid time for a better image, support, or sponsorship from a higher-upper, more enjoyment of your professional life and responsibilities, and real confidence in your performance.
The last week of the month is powerful for revelations about professional and life-path goals. Ideas bloom. You're likely to receive more attention and admiration, especially on a professional or public level. Efforts to embellish, beautify, please, and harmonize are successful.
Cancer (Born June 22 to July 1) and Cancer Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Cancer:
March 2021 Cancer Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
March 2021
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until March 19th:
The Sun continues to shine its light on your solar ninth house now. This is a cycle in which you seek to expand your experiences and awareness, whether through philosophical thinking, higher education, travel, or simply activities that take you away from your everyday routines. You may feel a little restless if you don't find ways to explore.
It's an excellent period for looking at your life from a different perspective--a broader one--whether you initiate this process or you make contact with others who stimulate you to think about your circumstances differently. Your energy is strong, open, and friendly right now, you come across well to others, and you are a little bolder and adventurous than usual.
From March 20th forward:
The Sun illuminates your career and reputation sector. More than any other time of the year, your focus is drawn to your "place" or standing in the outer world, and your reputation. This is the time when you are more interested in, and focused on, accomplishing something important. Your competency is something that you are especially sensitive to during this cycle.
You want to shine! Your vision is practical right now, and you want to see tangible results for your efforts. More contact with authority figures is likely during this period. Recognition is likely to come your way whether you ask for it or not, and the responsibility that comes right along with it! Do what you feel is right, keeping in mind that you are at your most visible during this period in the year.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until March 20th:
Venus continues to grace your solar ninth house. During this cycle, your ideals in love are set high. You might become inspired by a loved one now, or someone might awaken a new perspective or way of thinking in you. You could also enjoy a trip, or a new adventure of sorts. In fact, you are attracted to anything that is non-routine and fare best when you are reaching out beyond your usual bounds. You might be attracted to people or even objects that are exotic or different in some way during this cycle. It's a good period for personal charm and attractiveness in general.
From March 21st forward:
Venus graces your solar tenth house now. During this cycle, you are most charming and well-received on the job. Your responsibility and authority are likeable qualities now, making this a favorable period overall for schmoozing with those in a higher position than you, as well as for negotiations or social activities related to business. Venus is charming, friendly, and affectionate, and her presence in your career and reputation sector brings social opportunities to your career. You are coming across well at work now, and romantic opportunities, or simply more chances to socialize and network, are likely. You are socially ambitious right now, and success may come through your good managerial qualities or some form of artistic talent, or, indirectly through your marriage partner. People who turn your head during this cycle are those who come across as especially competent.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Until March 15th:
Mercury continues to transit your solar eighth house. The ability to analyze and rationalize some of the deeper elements inside yourself and in your intimate life now can benefit you. This is also a good time for sorting out finances, particularly money shared or coming from other sources other than your own personal income.
You might particularly enjoy discussing topics that you typically don't verbalize with someone special during this cycle. Anything taboo, mysterious, or puzzling can be especially fascinating for you just now. You have little interest in small talk. You are more aware of subtleties and nuances during this cycle, and you can use this increased insightfulness to improve your life.
From March 16th forward:
Mercury transits your solar ninth house. Not content to focus on mundane, practical affairs just now, your mind turns to bigger visions, thoughts, and ideals. You are open to expanding your knowledge base during this cycle, and communications from or with someone far away may be part of the picture.
You are putting everything into perspective now, rather than compartmentalizing. Instead of simply shooting the breeze, you are more inclined to discuss broader philosophies now. Your inclination during this cycle is to think about the "big picture" rather than the mundane circumstances and details of your life. Missing appointments and other forms of forgetfulness could be part of the picture now.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until the 3rd:
Mars continues to activate your solar eleventh house. You take a more direct approach to realizing your dreams now, rather than simply hoping and wishing.
You might find that you have more energy and enthusiasm for spending time with others, but arguments now may be with or on behalf of friends. You can be especially effective at encouraging others now, as well as at leading or organizing a group.
From the 4th onward:
With Mars moving through your solar twelfth house, this is the time to research and reflect upon your goals. It can be a time when past actions catch up with you--and this is not necessarily a bad thing!
It could also be a time when much of your energy is channeled into private matters, or when you prefer that others not observe what you are doing. This is natural--you may just as well do your best work alone for now. Unconscious behavior patterns could influence the way you assert yourself.
Some may experience insomnia during this phase, especially if they are not allowing themselves the chance to recoup and if they are not letting their intuition serve them. Others may enjoy a more active dreaming life (this includes day-dreaming), and, if allowed to run free, the imagination can serve them very well, especially with regards to goals and new concepts.

Cancer (Born July 2 to 12)
AND Cancer Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Cancer:
March 2021 Cancer Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
March 2021
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
All month:
This month, with the Sun spotlighting your solar ninth house, your focus turns outward, away from the more personal concerns that have occupied your thoughts in the last months. More than any other time during the year, you are feeling most adventurous and willing to take a leap of faith. This is a cycle in which you seek a higher meaning to your life, and/or seek out new experiences that take you beyond the here and now, and beyond the mundane details of day-to-day life. Anything that broadens your experiences attracts now.
A lack of superficiality finds you straight to the point, interested in the truth of things. It would be wise for you to consider scheduling a vacation, adventure of sorts, or a course that expands your mind. These don't have to happen now, but taking the time to recognize your needs for escaping the daily grind, taking a few risks, and feeding your spirit for self-expression through some form of adventure or higher learning, will help you to feel good about yourself. The only caution with this cycle is that you could lose touch with managing everyday affairs and important details.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort
Until the 4th:
Venus continues to move through your solar eighth house during this period. You are attracted to the deeper elements of relationships and social interactions now, rather than what you meet on the surface. Mysteries fascinate you and you could be looking for others' motives for doing and saying what they do. It's a good time to feel supported by others, whether it's financially or emotionally. It's also a strong cycle for discovering your own hidden talents as well as fascinating things about a partner.
From March 5-29:
Venus graces your solar ninth house during this period. A taste for the exotic takes hold during this cycle. Routine affairs simply don't seem to satisfy. You receive pleasure from anything that expands your horizons, both physically and mentally. Foreign people and places may particularly appeal now. You tend to be expansive and generous when it comes to love. A love interest who attracts you during this cycle may be somebody who you previously wouldn't consider attractive, or someone whose cultural background is very different than yours. You have a taste for the exotic and the spirit to match. Public relations work, promotion, and other such endeavors are favored now. It is more about how you express yourself than the specifics of what you are saying that helps sway others to your position. There could be especial rapport with foreigners and with women if you are traveling during this period. You are all the more attractive and charming with this position, which increases your popularity. If a romance were to begin now, it is more likely to be with someone of a different background or educational level, or someone you meet through travel. You have a taste for the exotic now that can show up in many areas of your life--who you are attracted to, what you buy, the kind of art or entertainment you enjoy, and so forth.
From March 29th forward:
Venus graces your solar tenth house now. During this cycle, you are most charming and well-received on the job. Your responsibility and authority are likeable qualities now, making this a favorable period overall for schmoozing with those in a higher position than you, as well as for negotiations or social activities related to business.

Cancer (Born July 13 to 22)
AND Cancer Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Cancer:
March 2021 Cancer Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
March 2021
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until March 10th:
The Sun continues to highlight your solar eighth house. Your attention turns inward, as well as to close personal relationships on a deeper level. Personal transformations, personal power, and intimate matters fulfill you most during this cycle. There may be a strong focus on other's money, such as the resources of a partner, inheritance, banking and loans, or taxes.
You are more intense in your mood and disposition, and perhaps even secretive, at this time of year. You are more in touch with the deeper and even primal elements of your own personality, and more able to see these things in others. This can be a determined and personally powerful time of year if you apply the energy of this transit constructively.
From March 11th forward:
This month, with the Sun spotlighting your solar ninth house, your focus turns outward, away from the more personal concerns that have occupied your thoughts in the last months. More than any other time during the year, you are feeling most adventurous and willing to take a leap of faith. This is a cycle in which you seek a higher meaning to your life, and/or seek out new experiences that take you beyond the here and now, and beyond the mundane details of day-to-day life.

Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Until March 7th:
Mercury continues to transit your solar seventh house. You can be especially aware of your "audience" in your communications now, which tend to be diplomatic and respectful during this cycle. You may be encountering an especially chatty or communicative partner, or meeting youthful, talkative people.
At this time, you love to hear others' opinions and perspectives, and it's an excellent time to do so. Others can spur on your own thinking and decision making processes now, simply by offering another perspective. You are thinking a lot about others, a partner, and relating in general, and in some cases perhaps worrying over these things.
From March 7-28:
Mercury transits your solar eighth house. You are more intuitive now than usual, picking up all of the hidden cues from people around you and reading between the lines. This is an excellent cycle in which to do some financial planning and strategizing.
Research is also highly favored. It's easier for you to approach sensitive, intimate, and personal matters with rationality and logic. As such, this is a great time to open up conversations about topics that normally might cause waves, such as those revolving around the sharing of power, intimacy, and finances.
From March 29th forward:
Mercury transits your solar ninth house. Not content to focus on mundane, practical affairs just now, your mind turns to bigger visions, thoughts, and ideals. You are open to expanding your knowledge base during this cycle, and communications from or with someone far away may be part of the picture.
You are putting everything into perspective now, rather than compartmentalizing. Instead of simply shooting the breeze, you are more inclined to discuss broader philosophies now. Your inclination during this cycle is to think about the "big picture" rather than the mundane circumstances and details of your life. Missing appointments and other forms of forgetfulness could be part of the picture now.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
All month: Mars is energizing your solar eleventh house now. Group activities and cooperative efforts are the best way to achieve your goals right now. In fact, you have all sorts of ideas about what you want to do. Avoid allowing the ego to attempt to dominate others. You prefer to lead a group rather than follow during this period, and there are certainly ways to do so without stepping on others' toes. As well, the best way to achieve your goals during this period is to work as a team, or to at least to do some networking. You may have more energy than usual to want to organize projects. Your humanitarian impulse may be stimulated. The role you play for other people in your life becomes the focus. You may feel that your schedule gets overloaded at this time with things to do (usually for others).

These themes can lead to creative solutions and detours, particularly around the 17-18 and 20-21.
While you're open to exploring, expanding, and experiencing new things in many ways, you have much "work" to do on the inside. You can be very contemplative this month. You'll benefit greatly from actively seeking out ways to heal and de-stress and deal with self-limiting fears and attitudes. It's an excellent time to handle things you might usually avoid or put off, as you want to put your efforts into endeavors that have a long-term impact.
You're unlikely to jump to assert yourself this month, as you first consider how this might impact others' lives and your own. There can be some bottling up of anger or desires. Parts of you are on a symbolic retreat, and this is good for you. If you've been overdoing things, it's now clear that you need to pace yourself.
The New Moon on the 13th stimulates your need for more spirited living and learning as it brings on a symbolic fresh start. This lunation puts the focus on your spirit to grow, explore, and expand beyond the ordinary experiences in your life. Events occurring now and in the coming weeks can serve to push you out of your routine and your comfort zone. You're learning new things or finding inspiration through different experiences or perspectives. Publishing opportunities, money ideas, or money itself can emerge in unusual ways.
From the 20-21 forward, you give more and more attention to your career, responsibilities, reputation, and long-term goals. This period brings the Sun and Venus to the top of your solar chart and can point to an achievement or an increased desire to perform and excel. It's a more ambitious period of the year–a time when you're especially goal-oriented.
The Full Moon on the 28th is highly revealing and romantic. It's a time for discovering your feelings on a matter and then redirecting your life in fundamental ways with this new knowledge in mind. Homelife can need extra attention. It's a beautiful time to understand your needs more clearly and spend more time understanding the needs of those closest to you.
Venus works magic on your reputation or career and relationships with elders, bosses, parents, and teachers from the 21st. This is a solid time for a better image, support, or sponsorship from a higher-upper, more enjoyment of your professional life and responsibilities, and real confidence in your performance.
The last week of the month is powerful for revelations about professional and life-path goals. Ideas bloom. You're likely to receive more attention and admiration, especially on a professional or public level. Efforts to embellish, beautify, please, and harmonize are successful.

About These Monthly Horoscopes:
Our detailed monthly horoscopes are designed to reveal and interpret the current transits of the Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Mars in your solar chart. Because these energies or transits do not unfold neatly into any given calendar month (many transits carry forward from one month to the next), you will find some of the energies continue from the previous month. For example, the Sun might transit the second house of your solar chart from June 21 to July 22, so that you will find a similar interpretation for this transit in both June and July’s horoscope. This is normal and expected. Transits don’t abruptly change as the calendar month changes.
These monthly horoscopes also include an overview paragraph, as well as other energies specific to the month, such as retrogrades, eclipses, or major outer planet transits.
The Lunar Cycles section reveals lunar cycle dates. Lunar cycles repeat themselves approximately every 28 days, so it is normal to see the same lunar peaks, such as “Your Personal New Moon” and “Monthly career peak” repeat themselves from month to month, but with different dates. They serve as a helpful guide to cycle peaks in different areas of life, such as financial, career, romance, and partnership.
The horoscopes are divided into three groups or decanates, and the differences between the groups are subtle in parts and large in other parts. For those who prefer a whole sign approach to horoscopes, simply read the first decanate regardless of your birthdate.
