Cancer Weekly Horoscope

Week of May 20

Slowwwww down, Cancer. The sun decamps to Gemini, your dreamy, sleepy twelfth house from Monday the 20th until June 21, making this a time for rejuvenation, reflection and release. Your celebratory birth month begins four weeks from now, when the sun enters Cancer. Do you really want to drag last year's tired, worn baggage into your shiny new year? We didn't think so.

The only question you should be asking yourself this week is: Should it stay or should it go? For a sentimental soul like you, parting with old stuff, including the two-sizes-too-big dress that you wore the first time you had brunch with you-know-who, can be emotional. Yet your psychic space is cluttered by all these possessions. Let someone else put them to good use, Cancer. Some relationships may be transitioning out of your life, too...or at least to the back burner. When it comes to mourning and healing, don't hold back.

On the other hand, this fantasy-fueled month can do wonders for romance. If you have a willing and reliable partner, the two of you might set off on a fantastic voyage. Go scuba diving in the Great Barrier Reef, take an Italian cooking class for couples, or even don your salsa shoes for dance lessons. Single? You'll be drawn to the artsy types, so let yourself crush hard on the boy in the band. Caution: These affairs may not be reality-based, so don't try to turn the avowed bachelor into marriage material.

Over the next month, one way to constructively channel your supersized imagination is to give your inner artiste airtime. This creative action—painting, writing poems, Pinning pictures for your blog—will set the stage for catharsis.

Watch out for rising intensity on Tuesday, as an intense Pluto-Uranus square could bring a major clash with a co-worker or someone you do business with. So much for being on the same team! Worse yet, you may have formed alliances with other colleagues, creating an "us vs. them" vibe. Like a volcanic eruption, angry emotions could come spilling out. Instead of using your spot-on intuition to deliver barbs, curtail your tirades. There's nothing wrong with taking a five-minute break to collect your thoughts. If that fails, consider meditation to wade through thorny issues. The way you handle a dicey interaction will determine just how seamlessly it passes. Keep. Your. Cool.

Another way this tense Pluto-Uranus square might play out? You could get an earth-shattering wake-up call (from either within or without) to stop using your career to avoid your love life…or vice versa. If you're imbalanced—either focused on your bottom line to the exclusion of amour or obsessing over your sweetie to the detriment of your own ambitions—recalibrate. You CAN have the best of both worlds, Crab.

Once the dust settles, get set for some exciting news on the work front, on Saturday's lunar eclipse in Sagittarius. An unexpected five-star opportunity could crop up out of the blue. You may finally muster the courage to apply for THAT position or make some key changes to your work-flow processes, making more room for fiestas!

This potent eclipse may also bring a health check. Have you been ignoring all the things you know you SHOULD be doing to take care of yourself? Bring on the preventive medicine before you find yourself beset with glaring symptoms. Party a little less, and revamp your eating habits. Food is medicine, after all. Set up your annual checkup, and book appointments with healing practitioners. Fine-tuning with advice from the pros can keep your energy at optimum levels and your body running like a well-oiled machine.
