Overview for this Month: Cancer (All)
October 2022 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Cancer:
The spotlight is on home and domestic affairs this month, dear Cancer, with fresh thinking and new solutions to old problems. Harmonizing and balancing your personal life is successful and satisfying.
The Sun and Venus visit your home and family sector until the 23rd, inspiring you to bring more harmony, beauty, and warmth to these affairs. It's a good period for refocusing and re-establishing yourself and your goals in your domestic world. Your attention to domestic matters brings rewards and positive feedback. You might focus on ways to earn money from home.
Mercury ends its retrograde cycle on the 2nd, and blocks or delays seem to lift. A real sense that you want to move forward comes over you. Transportation, learning, educational, family, home, and communication difficulties will likely clear up.
You might arrive at a new understanding of --and appreciation for-- family and loved ones in October. Your support system and the support you give to others are in focus. There can be good opportunities to expand, strengthen, and enhance home matters or find peace with your past. Channeling your energies into a project around the home that will truly make life easier can be incredibly satisfying and attractive.
From the 8th, there can be a pleasant breakthrough in or about close relationships. More clarity comes to your love relationships and partnerships. You pursue your hobbies, pleasurable pastimes, affiliations, and romance with more energy and enthusiasm, primarily because you feel clearer on these matters.
The Full Moon on the 9th occurs at the top of your solar chart, reminding you of the need to pay special attention to your work or reputation. A responsibility or a call to action is possible now. You might recognize the need to perform or take the lead. A reward, award, or culmination of a project can occur, pulling you out of your shell.
A creative, romantic, and playful theme emerges from the 23rd forward. It's a solid time to make meaningful emotional and innovative changes that contribute to a sense of personal empowerment. Flowing energy is with you for expressing yourself and your ideas. The Sun and Venus awaken your feelings and desire to share. They also boost personal attraction.
The Solar Eclipse on the 25th can bring a clearing of the air type of energy to a relationship with a romantic partner, creative collaborator, or child. Even though it's intense energy, it's also very friendly with Venus and the Sun traveling close together. You are rebuilding your motivation and confidence regarding pursuing your heart's desire or heartfelt endeavors, passions, and loves. Going forward, more opportunities are sure to emerge that serve to awaken hidden or dormant talents. Jupiter's return to your spirit sector on the 28th reinforces a stronger focus on enjoyment, satisfaction, and fulfillment, especially through extracurricular activities.
With Saturn's direct turn on the 23rd, you might gain more clarity with finances or a relationship. This turnaround can also boost your conviction to make a significant lifestyle change. You may see some forward progress with debts or financial support from this date forward. The need to buckle down could prompt you to be more attentive to, or responsible for, a matter. It's also possible to gain more clarity in your intimate life or about an important project.
Still, the retrograde of Mars from the 30th can be a confusing one. The entire retrograde spans October 30th to January 12th and happens in your privacy sector. You can feel driven by unusual yearnings and desires at this time. If you don't honor your need for downtime and rest, circumstances can conspire to remind you. Health or emotional issues might slow you down and occasionally pull you out of your daily life routines, and it can feel like this happens at the most inconvenient times!
However, you can also benefit from reflecting on the past and learning from it. While you might reconsider certain recent endings, you may only need a little more time to process things before moving forward, and this retrograde cycle is affording you this. You may appear to be quite preoccupied, which can be due to secret conflicts or personal matters weighing on your mind.
Cancer (Born June 22 to July 1) and Cancer Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Cancer:
October 2022 Cancer Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
October 2022
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until October 22nd:
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.
Eclipses
A partial Solar Eclipse occurs on October 25th:
A general rule of thumb regarding eclipses is to avoid major decision-making in the week before and after an eclipse. This is because new information that could change our perspective often is revealed in the week after the eclipse. There is absolutely no need to suspend projects already in progress. Essentially, it's better to take in right now--to observe and get in touch with feelings.
The Solar Eclipse marks a new beginning for you. Letting go of the past is necessary in order to move forward. This eclipse occurs in your solar fifth house, suggesting a new approach to love, children, or creative projects. A new set-up in existing love affairs or a new love affair altogether may be formed in the coming months, as well as a sense of renewal and reinvigoration with regards to your ability to express yourself spontaneously and creatively.
This is a phase when you have an increased awareness of your need for fun and leisure activities.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until October 22nd:
Venus continues to transit your solar fourth house now. Domestic relationships and the home environment tend to be especially harmonious and peaceful during this cycle. You may have a desire to decorate your home with better quality items or more attention to aesthetics. An inner sense of peace and security tends to dominate now, or the desire for peace motivates you now. Your affections are strong but you don't wear your heart on your sleeve just now, preferring quiet moments with loved ones.
From October 23rd forward:
Venus warms your solar fifth house. This is an expressive period for the goddess of love! It's natural for you to turn on the charm without even lifting a finger. You are especially attracted to aesthetic forms of recreation. You feel a little more playful now, and love matters tend to be laced with a touch of drama. That shouldn't be a problem--in fact, you kind of like it that way for the time being. More loving and appreciative relationships with your children may also figure now. Your powers of attraction skyrocket during this cycle. Yet, you are not aggressive in your approach to love. Instead, you attract more if you allow yourself to be pursued during this cycle. Creative self-expression of any kind is favored at this time. At this time, you instinctively know how to place yourself in the best light in order to make a good impression on others. Any love affair begun now will be characterized by good cheer, having fun, and a fair share of emotional drama!
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Mercury ends its retrograde on October 2nd: Information unclogs and delays lift in the weeks following Mercury’s direct turn.
Until October 10th:
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 October 10-29:
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 October 29th 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
All month:
Mars continues to energize your solar twelfth house now. While Mars occupies the twelfth house, asserting yourself in a direct and straightforward manner can be difficult. This is largely due to a feeling of not being in touch with what it is you want or desire just for the time being as you reassess your goals and needs.
This lack of direction and self-knowledge should prompt you to look within to learn about your desires. It is likely that you will be much clearer when Mars reaches your first house. For the time being, take some time for rest and give your ego a break.
Mars turns retrograde on October 30th, and will be retrograde until January 12th, 2023:
All Mars retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of your career, professional life, ambition, public relations, and your reputation because Mars rules these areas of your life in your solar chart. Stalling, snags, challenges, or seeming setbacks might alert you to the need for re-organizing your energy and enthusiasm for these matters, for re-assessing goals, or for changing plans.
Occurring in your solar twelfth house during this period, your spirituality, private life, gut instincts, and intuition are affected. Perhaps you are not as confident about your hunches. Private affairs and solitary work might need to be put on the back burner, or you could show less enthusiasm for them. Trusting your gut instincts may become an issue. Vague fears and anxieties need to be dealt with. Obsession with private matters or concerns about the past could be part of the picture. Your desire nature can be rather complicated now, and it can be difficult to find direct routes to satisfaction. Old resentments, hurts, and waves of anger can resurface. There can be lowered vitality, likely due to emotional frustrations and exasperation. It's time to rethink, revise, and reorganize your plans. Backtracking is a good idea now. This is a time for learning about how your mental health impacts your life.

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.

October 2022 Cancer Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
October 2022
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:

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
Mercury ends its retrograde on October 2nd: Information unclogs and delays lift in the weeks following Mercury’s direct turn.
Until October 23rd:
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 October 23rd forward:
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.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
All month:
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.
Mars turns retrograde on October 30th, and will be retrograde until January 12th, 2023:
All Mars retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of your career, professional life, ambition, public relations, and your reputation because Mars rules these areas of your life in your solar chart. Stalling, snags, challenges, or seeming setbacks might alert you to the need for re-organizing your energy and enthusiasm for these matters, for re-assessing goals, or for changing plans.
Occurring in your solar twelfth house during this period, your spirituality, private life, gut instincts, and intuition are affected. Perhaps you are not as confident about your hunches. Private affairs and solitary work might need to be put on the back burner, or you could show less enthusiasm for them. Trusting your gut instincts may become an issue. Vague fears and anxieties need to be dealt with. Obsession with private matters or concerns about the past could be part of the picture. Your desire nature can be rather complicated now, and it can be difficult to find direct routes to satisfaction. Old resentments, hurts, and waves of anger can resurface. There can be lowered vitality, likely due to emotional frustrations and exasperation. It's time to rethink, revise, and reorganize your plans. Backtracking is a good idea now. This is a time for learning about how your mental health impacts your life.
Overview Horoscope:
October 2022 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Cancer:
The spotlight is on home and domestic affairs this month, dear Cancer, with fresh thinking and new solutions to old problems. Harmonizing and balancing your personal life is successful and satisfying.
The Sun and Venus visit your home and family sector until the 23rd, inspiring you to bring more harmony, beauty, and warmth to these affairs. It's a good period for refocusing and re-establishing yourself and your goals in your domestic world. Your attention to domestic matters brings rewards and positive feedback. You might focus on ways to earn money from home.
Mercury ends its retrograde cycle on the 2nd, and blocks or delays seem to lift. A real sense that you want to move forward comes over you. Transportation, learning, educational, family, home, and communication difficulties will likely clear up.
You might arrive at a new understanding of --and appreciation for-- family and loved ones in October. Your support system and the support you give to others are in focus. There can be good opportunities to expand, strengthen, and enhance home matters or find peace with your past. Channeling your energies into a project around the home that will truly make life easier can be incredibly satisfying and attractive.
From the 8th, there can be a pleasant breakthrough in or about close relationships. More clarity comes to your love relationships and partnerships. You pursue your hobbies, pleasurable pastimes, affiliations, and romance with more energy and enthusiasm, primarily because you feel clearer on these matters.
The Full Moon on the 9th occurs at the top of your solar chart, reminding you of the need to pay special attention to your work or reputation. A responsibility or a call to action is possible now. You might recognize the need to perform or take the lead. A reward, award, or culmination of a project can occur, pulling you out of your shell.
A creative, romantic, and playful theme emerges from the 23rd forward. It's a solid time to make meaningful emotional and innovative changes that contribute to a sense of personal empowerment. Flowing energy is with you for expressing yourself and your ideas. The Sun and Venus awaken your feelings and desire to share. They also boost personal attraction.
The Solar Eclipse on the 25th can bring a clearing of the air type of energy to a relationship with a romantic partner, creative collaborator, or child. Even though it's intense energy, it's also very friendly with Venus and the Sun traveling close together. You are rebuilding your motivation and confidence regarding pursuing your heart's desire or heartfelt endeavors, passions, and loves. Going forward, more opportunities are sure to emerge that serve to awaken hidden or dormant talents. Jupiter's return to your spirit sector on the 28th reinforces a stronger focus on enjoyment, satisfaction, and fulfillment, especially through extracurricular activities.
With Saturn's direct turn on the 23rd, you might gain more clarity with finances or a relationship. This turnaround can also boost your conviction to make a significant lifestyle change. You may see some forward progress with debts or financial support from this date forward. The need to buckle down could prompt you to be more attentive to, or responsible for, a matter. It's also possible to gain more clarity in your intimate life or about an important project.
Still, the retrograde of Mars from the 30th can be a confusing one. The entire retrograde spans October 30th to January 12th and happens in your privacy sector. You can feel driven by unusual yearnings and desires at this time. If you don't honor your need for downtime and rest, circumstances can conspire to remind you. Health or emotional issues might slow you down and occasionally pull you out of your daily life routines, and it can feel like this happens at the most inconvenient times!
However, you can also benefit from reflecting on the past and learning from it. While you might reconsider certain recent endings, you may only need a little more time to process things before moving forward, and this retrograde cycle is affording you this. You may appear to be quite preoccupied, which can be due to secret conflicts or personal matters weighing on your mind.

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.
Learn all about the signs of the zodiac. We offer interpretations of the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, and the Ascendant in the signs:
