Today's Cancer Horoscope from Cafe Astrology

January 26, 2021

Surprises or changes in plans can lead to a need to adjust expectations and attitudes, dear Cancer. The Sun forms a square to Uranus, influencing the first half of the day, and you can feel tense or restless. Look for something productive to do that serves you well. Otherwise, you may find yourself spinning your wheels or all riled up and unnecessarily stressed. Investigating new approaches and experimenting with new methods can satisfy an itch to do something different and unusual. If you can avoid the tendency to move too fast and to live on your nerves, you can come to fascinating insights. Consider that breaking a commitment or promise now could have consequences. As the day advances, it's easier to let go of tensions and learn from your experiences. The Moon spends the day in your sign, encouraging a spontaneous approach and more attention to your emotional needs.

The Astrology of Today – All Signs

Horoscope for All on Tuesday, January 26, 2021

The Sun forms a square to Uranus today, and changes made now may feel out of character or abrupt.
Disrupted routines and plans are likely, and while they can be unsettling at first, they can also stimulate the adoption of new approaches.
Our strong desire for independence or to break the rules could impair our judgment.
Even so, if we’re willing to learn from our mistakes, we might adopt a more careful approach to making necessary changes.
We should watch for being irresponsible in our rebellions and guard against temperamental behavior and decision-making.
Disruptions can pull up buried frustrations, which we should probably examine more closely. It can be a time to learn something new about ourselves.
However, the Moon spends the day in the sign of Cancer, and the need for safety, familiarity, and security can take over, particularly as the day advances.

This Month: Cancer

January 2021 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Cancer:

Negotiations and diplomacy are in the spotlight in January, dear Cancer. You're more invested than usual in the success of your relationships this month. Relating comes more easily, particularly from the 8th forward.

For over six months, Mars has been animating your career and reputation sector. However, it finally moves on and into your social sector on the 6th. Mars now heats up your friendships until early March. It can be a good time for connecting with people, enjoying new experiences, or energizing teamwork. You gain fabulous emotional fuel with Mars no longer at a stressful angle to your sign. Making changes seems to come naturally because you are working with an open mind, and you're answering calls to spontaneity. You'll feel this even more strongly after the 14th.

Accepting new ideas and exploring different topics come naturally, passions rise, and enthusiasm is strong. Gentle challenges emerge to improve, take decisive action, and go after what you want. There's more ease in social situations and possibly romantic excitement. Shared activities can be most fruitful. You could gravitate toward people or projects that make you feel good, reinforced, or motivated.

After the New Moon on the 13th, you need to put attitudes that no longer serve you well behind you so that you can move forward in the relationship department. The desire or need to cooperate and merge with someone is strong. Relationship needs awaken, and unusual impulses push you into a new beginning of sorts.

Your spirit for making friends renews, and if your connections have been unreliable at best, it's a time for trying to fix things or make the best of what you have.

As the month advances, you gravitate to absorbing activities and profound thought, study, and conversations. You're attuned to the hidden layers of situations. Discussions tend to be a little more intimate, or the issues on the table are not your typical fare.

With Jupiter square to Uranus, there could be some sexual or power-related undercurrents that disrupt a friendship, or a relationship with a partner could intrude upon your enjoyment of friends and groups. There can be wonderfully passionate moments and feelings in love or friendship today, but perhaps some tension as well. Decisions involving or made with friends can be too hasty. Surprising events surrounding a relationship can occur. It may be that, to move forward more freely and happily, you have to let go of a need to control your feelings and what others know of you or fear of betrayal.

Even so, some dissatisfaction could very well lead to new developments and improvements or the courage to resolve a problem. You're exploring the ability to detach a little and enjoy non-committed, light, and pressure-free connections with others. This can sometimes contrast or even clash with your intimate life.

The Full Moon on the 28th brings heightened emotions surrounding ownership, talents, self-worth, and finances. Epiphanies now can bring you closer to how you feel about a situation. There can be a settlement of money or attention to something that you owe now. Be moderate in your expectations, but also in what you take on, as you don't need to commit to more than you can handle.

A gift or show of support could be part of the picture in the last week of January, or a connection is made/strengthened on an intimate level. With an open mind and heart, you can reach a new level with someone important to you. You might discover something about a relationship or your inner workings that makes you feel more confident about the future.

Mercury turns retrograde on the 30th, and while there can be some slowdowns, you'll find the weeks ahead quite useful for reviewing and revising certain matters. It's best to budget more than spend or borrow at this time.

This Year: Cancer

2021 Yearly Horoscope Overview

Your private life, inner world, and intimate life are in the spotlight in 2021, dear Cancer.

Themes recently entering your life involve boosting wellness and wellbeing, particular attention to your support systems, and rediscovering motivation and passions about what you do (work).

You may have been reworking and reviewing your career goals or worldly responsibilities and status in the latter part of 2020, and you’re now more “in the know.” Ideally, you’ve made some room for discovering new passions or rediscovering old motivators. You begin 2021 with a stronger sense of what you want. New ways of doing business continue to emerge.

Unique or non-traditional themes continue in your social life this year, and in some ways, are more prominent, sometimes problematic. You’re innovating and adapting to changing scenery with friendships and networks.

With Saturn now consistently in your intimacy sector, the goal is to identify and then weed out unhealthy attachments or dependencies, whether emotional or financial or both. It’s a powerful process! Fortunately, you have the help of Jupiter for the first leg of this transit, for much of 2021, and you may very well enjoy yourself as you make empowering lifestyle changes.

You continue to appreciate the need for time to rest, renew, heal, and reflect this year as the North Node finishes up its transit of your privacy sector. Getting to a better balance between work and rest is the challenge this year, and it seems that committing to taking more quality downtime is the path to this end.

You’re getting in touch with deeper desires or hidden elements of your relationships and yourself in 2021. You’re learning who and what you can count on, financially and emotionally.

The year is strong for learning about and attending to your inner needs and resources more diligently. While you’re phasing into a more outgoing period when Jupiter harmonizes with your sign, the year holds remarkable opportunities to improve, prepare, straighten out, and discover, especially in the worlds of intimacy, personal growth, and finances. Financial help or advice, dealings, and support can be in stronger focus.

The year can be favorable to work through tax or debt issues, gain support or backing for financial initiatives, or combine resources/talents with a partner. Lifestyle changes, living more joyfully, or committing to taking better care of health can be in focus.

There is a contrast between the serious, profound, and intense energy related to your intimate world in 2021 and experimental, rebellious, freedom-loving themes in your social life. Your relationships with different people can be markedly different.

On career or public fronts, you’re learning to live your truth, striving toward more authentic life path goals or career paths, and being honest with yourself.

This Year in Love: Cancer

2021 Love Horoscope for Cancer

The year seems more about what’s no longer happening in your chart than what’s new, dear Cancer. Saturn has phased out of your partnership sector in 2021, and this takes off some of the direct pressure on you to manage your close relationships, for one. Jupiter has left your partnership sector, and eclipses are no longer happening in your sign. Overall, relationship headlines are not as dramatic in 2021.

Jupiter in your intimacy sector much of the year (until May 13th, and then from July 28-December 28) can work magic on your intimate and sexual relationships. Sexual opportunities are likely to abound, or your focus on one partner becomes more expansive, warm, and intimate. However, Saturn is here too, so it’s temperate, moderate energy rather than a wildly expansive one.

Uranus in your social sector (until 2026!) points to lively, unusual, and exciting friendships continuing from last year. It can also indicate disruptions and unreliability in your social life, as well as off-and-on affinities. Interestingly, Uranus is one of two rulers of your intimacy sector, and with it spending several years in your friendship/networking sector, for some Cancers, there can be significant intimate connections with friends or friends of friends.

There is a contrast happening between the serious, profound, and intense energy related to your intimate world, and experimental, rebellious, freedom-loving themes in your social life. Essentially, you’re likely to notice markedly different energy in your life with different relationships this year.

Power struggles and conflicts in close partnerships are not entirely a thing of the past since Pluto will still spend more time in your partnership sector (it’s a long-term guest here), but Saturn has moved on and eclipses have left your sign for a while, so life is less intense. Ideally, you have a deeper understanding of your needs. You can be especially…cont’d

Special note concerning Covid-19

Special note:

Astrological transits continue in their cyclical ways no matter the current situation. They should always be adapted to what’s going on in your life in sensible ways. This applies at all times, but is particularly relevant now during this health crisis. During the very vital quarantines, if the planetary transits are suggesting it’s a great time to socialize, for example, it makes sense to adapt this to online socializing. Let’s be safe and protect one another through social distancing, if possible. Much love, Annie (March 18, 2020)

My heart goes out to all those experiencing difficulty. Love, Annie (April 1, 2020)

Here’s to a happy and successful day!

Note: Read the sections for both your Sun Sign and Ascendant for a better picture of what lies ahead for the day. For example, if you are a Cancer with a Virgo Ascendant, read the forecast for both Cancer and Virgo.
