Overview for this Month: Cancer (All)
October is excellent for communications, creativity, self-expression, and family life, dear Cancer, and it begins on a particularly sweet note. In the first week of the month, you have Venus and Mars in your communications sector harmonizing not only with your sign but with Pluto in your companionship house as well. The airwaves open up for you, and meaningful conversations can ensue. Creative interactions are in focus now. You're in great shape for getting your message across eloquently.
You're bringing increased personal appeal to your communications in the first week of October, and you're also feeling quite a bit of passion about a particular project, learning endeavor, or person! Conversations can be stimulating, and ideas are uniquely creative. Motivation to get a project started or to put finishing touches on a project already in progress is through the roof. This is also a good time to make a romantic connection. This week, you're embracing new ideas and experiences as well as transforming and developing current relationships and projects. Emphasis is on communication, teaming or partnering up, and negotiating. You are warm and engaged, commitment-ready, and willing to go the extra mile for people and projects you care about. A friendship or partnership can move forward in meaningful ways. Good energy is with you for breaking new ground in a relationship or your studies. Collaboration is powerful for you now. This is a time for ironing out kinks and focusing on improvement -- quite happily at that!
Also in the first week of the month is a Full Moon that pulls up buried feelings about a matter or new information that changes your life in subtle but notable ways. There can be a culmination of a project, recognition for your work, or a sudden realization of your true calling! For some, a flurry of activity in your career or an emerging responsibility reminds you of the need to pay more attention to your public or professional life.
Jupiter's change of signs is the big news of October, but its transit will unfold over the course of thirteen months, so it's only just beginning. You'll receive strong hints of its beneficial effects this month, and especially around the 17-18 and 26th.
In the year ahead, Jupiter transits in a beautiful trine to your sign from your sector of love, romance, pleasure, children, creativity, and speculation. You are coming out of your shell now, and much of your attention is likely to revolve around expressing yourself in satisfying ways, dating, romance, creative hobbies, or the pursuit of pleasure. Matters of the heart can be magical during this transit. There can be wonderful connections made through travel or educational endeavors, or shared adventures to enjoy with Jupiter's upcoming trine to Neptune. A lover, child, or friend can open your mind or heart to new experiences. Your sense of drama expands now. This transit highlights your natural charm and encourages confident self-expression.
All month, your home and family sector is busy and active, and particularly after Venus moves into it on the 14th and the New Moon happens here on the 19th, you're in great shape for enjoying home and family life. Focus on bonding and harmonizing with great results.
In the last week of October, you bring more intelligence, consideration, and pride to your work and health routines.
Cancer (Born June 22 to July 1) and Cancer Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Cancer:October 2017 Cancer Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness Until October 23rd: The Sun continues to put a spotlight on your solar fourth house. This is a period of recharge, of getting in touch with your innermost feelings, of connecting with your roots, and of spending more time and energy on home and family. Home and family matters capture your attention and are a strong source of pride now. It's a time when worldly matters are not as important to you. Use this energy to find ways to improve your family relations and your home environment. During this heart-warming cycle, you would do best to allow yourself to explore your inner needs so that you can nurture yourself and others in a healthy, growth-oriented manner, in preparation for more outgoing times to come. From October 23rd forward: The Sun illuminates your solar fifth house now. After a period of "nesting", you are coming out of your shell, ready to perform and to express yourself creatively. This is a very playful period of the year, when you are inspired creatively and emotionally. After a period of self-protectiveness, you are now more spontaneous and more willing to take risks. You take more pride than usual in your creations, your love affairs, your children, and your hobbies. Pleasure and amusement play an important role in your search for freedom of self-expression now. Show off your best colors! You want others to take notice, and you are more sensitive to whether people appreciate you. More than any time of the year, this is the cycle in which you focus on having fun, enjoying romance, and expressing yourself creatively. Your hobbies, leisure time, moments spent with children, gaming time, and so forth, all come into focus at this time of year. This is a cycle in which you find joy in expressing who you are--when your "inner child" comes out to play. This is a time when you are more flirtatious than usual, and when you might take a few risks in life--not only gambling with games but with life itself. You might be a bit of a showman at this time. You are likely feeling good in general, and you tend to spread the joy. Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort Until the 14th: Venus continues to play in your solar third house during this period, indicating a more light-hearted, curious, and intellectual approach to love and pleasure, as well as a more easygoing communicative style. During this cycle, you are especially charming in your communications. Your words are soothing, and you tend to use words to smooth over problems that you see around you. You are mostly cheerful in your approach to others, and perhaps somewhat intellectual. Essentially, you are quite companionable during this cycle. You enjoy talking about what interests you, and you see value in the exchange of ideas. Sometimes this transit brings benefit through siblings, communications, or short trips. Good companionship is as equally important as romance to you during this cycle. You prefer an intellectual, communicative, and witty partner just now, and your powers of attraction increase through expressing these types of qualities. You are most attracted to wit, cheerfulness, and verbal rapport, and you are especially good at mediating conflicts now. If you were to begin a romance or friendship during this cycle, it would likely be quite light-hearted. From the 14th forward: Venus warms your solar fourth house now. During this cycle, you are especially fond of the life of the home and family. You are more receptive and gentle on a romantic level, and tend to be sentimental or nostalgic. You may particularly value the aesthetics in and around your home during this period. If things are out of whack on the home front, you will do whatever you can to create a peaceful and stable atmosphere. In relationships, loyalty and sensitivity are more important to you than typically. You might focus on ways to earn money in or from your home. This is a calming influence--a time when simple pleasures most appeal. Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation Until October 17th: Mercury continues to transit your solar fourth house. Your thoughts tend to revolve around personal matters, especially family, home, and domestic issues. You enjoy, more than usual, discussions and stories about the past and about family. You are more rational and objective when it comes to your relationships with those close to you, so it is, in fact, a good time to open up discussions with family. There can be increased activities in and around the home during this cycle. You are not as interested in worldly matters and career as you are in your personal life for the time being. From October 17th forward: Mercury transits your solar fifth house. During this cycle, there is a powerful mental connection with your creative self-expression. You are proud of your ideas, and very good at expressing them to others smoothly now. Your thinking is more creative than usual. You tend to entertain others with your conversation; and your sense of humor (and of mischief!) is especially strong. Your thoughts turn to children, pleasures, or romance during this expressive cycle. You might enjoy researching speculative ventures now. You especially enjoy games that involve competing with others on a mental level. You have a stronger need than usual for intellectual stimulation. Therefore, your friends and romantic partner are best appreciated now if they are intellectual types. You're more willing to take risks on a mental level now, so take advantage of the increased spontaneity and creativity that comes with this position. Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage Until the 22nd: Mars continues to activate and energize your solar third house now. You may be especially busy running errands and tending to daily activities during this cycle. It's a strong time for putting your energy into intellectual projects or studies. You tend to communicate in a more direct manner now, and you might want to be careful that you don't come across as insensitive or abrasive. You may find it too easy to become impatient with others if they seem to be taking up too much of your time, such as with other drivers or with people who are not speaking as directly as you are. Channel your extra energy into mental tasks so that this transit can be highly stimulating (instead of stressful). From the 22nd forward: Mars activates and energizes your solar fourth house. You have more energy at your disposal for domestic projects or activities. Because your actions are governed by your instincts during this period, you may be especially defensive and protective. You may work hard at making yourself feel more secure, and you may be called upon to take charge on the home and family front. You may have more energy to invest in homemaking, house repairs, redecorating, or family activities. In fact, if you are feeling very restless, moody, or defensive during this period, it would be a good idea to do any of these things! You may have an increased desire to rule the roost, and if this transit stimulates conflict or disputes, it is likely to be family-related--you may have arguments with them, about them, or on their behalf. You may also encounter opposition from career-related matters or people. You may get worked up about old angers or regarding emotional issues from the past that are resurfacing now. Overview Horoscope: October is excellent for communications, creativity, self-expression, and family life, dear Cancer, and it begins on a particularly sweet note. In the first week of the month, you have Venus and Mars in your communications sector harmonizing not only with your sign but with Pluto in your companionship house as well.

Cancer (Born July 2 to 12)
|
October 2017 |
Overview.
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
All month:
With the Sun spotlighting your house of family and home, these areas are your instinctive focus during this period. Your family, home, property concerns, roots, and heritage come into focus and become a source of pride. You are likely quite preoccupied with feelings of security and your inner experiences. This is a time when you send down roots and seek a feeling of belonging. You could be thrust into a position of leadership on the home front.
Ego confrontations with family members are possible now, but the best way to handle this energy is to do your best to strengthen your relationship with your family and your home base. This is a time to do what you can to build trust in your family life and a strong foundation within yourself so that regardless of what you meet in the outside world over the next months, you have a secure place to return to. Besides spending more time tending to domestic affairs, the focus can be on cultivating and nourishing the inner foundations that support you and your growth. This is a time to collect yourself--to fill your well, so to speak.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort
Until October 22nd:
Venus continues to play in your solar third house during this period, indicating a more light-hearted, curious, and intellectual approach to love and pleasure, as well as a more easygoing communicative style.
During this cycle, you are especially charming in your communications. Your words are soothing, and you tend to use words to smooth over problems that you see around you. You are mostly cheerful in your approach to others, and perhaps somewhat intellectual.
Essentially, you are quite companionable during this cycle. You enjoy talking about what interests you, and you see value in the exchange of ideas. Sometimes this transit brings benefit through siblings, communications, or short trips. Good companionship is as equally important as romance to you during this cycle.
You prefer an intellectual, communicative, and witty partner just now, and your powers of attraction increase through expressing these types of qualities. You are most attracted to wit, cheerfulness, and verbal rapport, and you are especially good at mediating conflicts now. If you were to begin a romance or friendship during this cycle, it would likely be quite light-hearted.
From October 22nd forward:
Venus warms your solar fourth house now. During this cycle, you are especially fond of the life of the home and family. You are more receptive and gentle on a romantic level, and tend to be sentimental or nostalgic.
You may particularly value the aesthetics in and around your home during this period. If things are out of whack on the home front, you will do whatever you can to create a peaceful and stable atmosphere.
In relationships, loyalty and sensitivity are more important to you than typically. You might focus on ways to earn money in or from your home. This is a calming influence--a time when simple pleasures most appeal.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Until the 5th:
Mercury continues to move through your solar third house. Mercury feels right at home in the third house. Your mind is especially inquisitive during this cycle, when learning, short trips, and other forms of communication and making connections, appeal strongly. Some are fidgety or nervous during this cycle, perhaps due to increased errand-running, phone calls, or information overload. Others enjoy the challenge of tackling a variety of subjects.
As well, talking, writing, and studying can be good ways to handle stress. It's a great time to pick up information from your environment and the people in it. Your mind is often distracted, particularly when required to stick to routine, so this is not the best transit for focusing on one task or project. You might spend a lot of time in your car making short frequent trips, running errands, communicating with siblings and neighbors, and visiting friends and relatives.
From the 5-23:
Mercury moves through your solar fourth house. This is a time during which you can enjoy increased powers of concentration. You may require solitude in order to get mental work done during this cycle. Your memory is more retentive than usual, and your thoughts often turn to personal matters, family, and loved ones. You might particularly enjoy discussions about your early life, the past, or family matters during this cycle. In fact, it's a great time to open up conversations with loved ones, as you are more rational when it comes to personal matters now.
Your mind often wanders to domestic concerns, and issues surrounding your home, family, and personal past. On the other hand, this transit sometimes indicates an especially busy, and perhaps hectic, period on the domestic scene. For example, you might take home work or find that people drop by your home often during this cycle.
From the 23rd forward:
Mercury transits your solar fifth house. During this cycle, there is a powerful mental connection with your creative self-expression. You are proud of your ideas, and very good at expressing them to others smoothly now. Your thinking is more creative than usual. You tend to entertain others with your conversation; and your sense of humor (and of mischief!) is especially strong.
Your thoughts turn to children, pleasures, or romance during this expressive cycle. You might enjoy researching speculative ventures now. You especially enjoy games that involve competing with others on a mental level. You have a stronger need than usual for intellectual stimulation.

October 2017 Cancer Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
October 2017 |
Overview.
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until October 13th:
The Sun continues to highlight your solar third house--a time of the year in which you are most likely to be a "busy bee". Communications, short trips, errand-running, and general busy-ness feature now. You could have a finger in many pies, so to speak, as your curiosity is piqued by a larger variety of things than usual. Used well, this could be a period in which you come up with solutions to a number of problems. You are more inclined to take pride in your intellectual accomplishments and/or your ability to socialize and make connections.
From October 13th forward:
With the Sun spotlighting your house of family and home, these areas are your instinctive focus during this period. Your family, home, property concerns, roots, and heritage come into focus and become a source of pride. You are likely quite preoccupied with feelings of security and your inner experiences. This is a time when you send down roots and seek a feeling of belonging. You could be thrust into a position of leadership on the home front.

This is a time to collect yourself--to fill your well, so to speak.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort
Until October 6th:
Venus continues to grace your solar second house during this period. You might receive gifts or bonuses now, or you find much comfort in what you already own and have. You may be a little extravagant with money for the time being, as your desire for luxury and comfort items is increased now, and this is something to watch for. When it comes to love, you value those who make you feel comfortable and secure.
From October 6-30:
With Venus moving through your solar third house during this period, you are mostly cheerful in your approach to others, and perhaps somewhat intellectual, during this transit. Essentially, you are quite companionable now. You enjoy talking about what interests you, and you find great value in the exchange of ideas. Sometimes this transit brings benefit through siblings, communications, or short trips. During this period, you are most attracted to wit, cheerfulness, and verbal rapport. You are especially good at mediating conflicts. Smoothing over differences using your diplomacy skills figures now.
From October 30th forward:
Venus warms your solar fourth house now. During this cycle, you are especially fond of the life of the home and family. You are more receptive and gentle on a romantic level, and tend to be sentimental or nostalgic.
You may particularly value the aesthetics in and around your home during this period. If things are out of whack on the home front, you will do whatever you can to create a peaceful and stable atmosphere.
In relationships, loyalty and sensitivity are more important to you than typically. You might focus on ways to earn money in or from your home. This is a calming influence--a time when simple pleasures most appeal.

From the 11-30:
Mercury moves through your solar fourth house. This is a time during which you can enjoy increased powers of concentration. You may require solitude in order to get mental work done during this cycle. Your memory is more retentive than usual, and your thoughts often turn to personal matters, family, and loved ones. You might particularly enjoy discussions about your early life, the past, or family matters during this cycle. In fact, it's a great time to open up conversations with loved ones, as you are more rational when it comes to personal matters now.
Your mind often wanders to domestic concerns, and issues surrounding your home, family, and personal past. On the other hand, this transit sometimes indicates an especially busy, and perhaps hectic, period on the domestic scene. For example, you might take home work or find that people drop by your home often during this cycle.
From the 30th forward:

You especially enjoy games that involve competing with others on a mental level. You have a stronger need than usual for intellectual stimulation. Therefore, your friends and romantic partner are best appreciated now if they are intellectual types. You're more willing to take risks on a mental level now, so take advantage of the increased spontaneity and creativity that comes with this position.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until the 7th:
Mars continues to energize your solar second house. You tend to put more effort into making money or making your life more comfortable and secure during this cycle. Your strong desire to be financially independent could lead to positive things, such as paying off debts or increased enterprise. The opposite side of the coin is asserting your independence by making impulsive purchases or taking risks with your money. You are more protective of the way you earn or spend money, as well as with the values you live your life by, and if others question you about these things, there could be arguments.
From the 7th forward:
Mars animates and energizes your solar third house during this period. You are likely to have many ideas and plans going during this transit, and you might be inclined to scatter your energies as a result.
Channelled well, however, this is a good time to sell your ideas to others, or to present your case in some manner. You may be especially busy running errands and communicating with others now.
More articulate than usual, you may also have a more assertive, self-centered, or provocative communication style at this time. As such, discussions might more readily become heated or they might escalate into arguments. If this is the case, it's likely because you are taking things very personally right now, or because you are over-identifying with your beliefs and ideas.
A tendency to be impatient or impulsive while driving or while performing manual tasks, generally with the hands, may lead to accidents, so it's wise to be careful on the road or while operating machinery or even using scissors! This is an excellent time for working on intellectual tasks with more vigor and passion.
Overview Horoscope:
October is excellent for communications, creativity, self-expression, and family life, dear Cancer, and it begins on a particularly sweet note. In the first week of the month, you have Venus and Mars in your communications sector harmonizing not only with your sign but with Pluto in your companionship house as well. The airwaves open up for you, and meaningful conversations can ensue. Creative interactions are in focus now. You're in great shape for getting your message across eloquently.
You're bringing increased personal appeal to your communications in the first week of October, and you're also feeling quite a bit of passion about a particular project, learning endeavor, or person! Conversations can be stimulating, and ideas are uniquely creative. Motivation to get a project started or to put finishing touches on a project already in progress is through the roof. This is also a good time to make a romantic connection. This week, you're embracing new ideas and experiences as well as transforming and developing current relationships and projects. Emphasis is on communication, teaming or partnering up, and negotiating. You are warm and engaged, commitment-ready, and willing to go the extra mile for people and projects you care about. A friendship or partnership can move forward in meaningful ways. Good energy is with you for breaking new ground in a relationship or your studies. Collaboration is powerful for you now. This is a time for ironing out kinks and focusing on improvement -- quite happily at that!
Also in the first week of the month is a Full Moon that pulls up buried feelings about a matter or new information that changes your life in subtle but notable ways. There can be a culmination of a project, recognition for your work, or a sudden realization of your true calling! For some, a flurry of activity in your career or an emerging responsibility reminds you of the need to pay more attention to your public or professional life.
Jupiter's change of signs is the big news of October, but its transit will unfold over the course of thirteen months, so it's only just beginning. You'll receive strong hints of its beneficial effects this month, and especially around the 17-18 and 26th.
In the year ahead, Jupiter transits in a beautiful trine to your sign from your sector of love, romance, pleasure, children, creativity, and speculation. You are coming out of your shell now, and much of your attention is likely to revolve around expressing yourself in satisfying ways, dating, romance, creative hobbies, or the pursuit of pleasure. Matters of the heart can be magical during this transit.

About Our 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 a 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 suddenly 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 reveal 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.
