Tomorrow's Horoscope

Your Mercury return comes to an end today with Mercury, planet of communication, getting ready to leave your sign tomorrow. This is a day for having talks and opening the communication lines, especially those with yourself. Find at least some time in the day when you can sit down quietly and get your head around things, in your own way and in your own time. You'll find it a lot easier to ask for what you want if you know what that is.

Today's Horoscope

Don't be afraid if you suddenly start to spit the dummy, with your competitive spirit springing into action when you least expected it to. You've gone from accepting a situation or something the way it is, to a screeching stop, as you realise 'hang on a minute, I have a choice'. It's about time you woke up to just how many choices and options you have and then when it comes to determining where to from here, you get to call the shots.

About Cancer Horoscopes

Cancer is the fourth astrological sign in the Zodiac, originating from the constellation of Cancer. In western astrology, this sign is no longer aligned with the constellation as a result of the precession of the equinoxes. In astrology, Cancer is considered a feminine or negative sign, meaning it is more introverted influencing their daily horoscopes. It is considered a water sign, and is one of four cardinal signs. Cancer is ruled by the Moon. Being the fourth sign in the zodiac, Cancer has been associated with the astrological 4th house. The Indian equivalent of Cancer is Karka; the Chinese equivalent is thought to be the sincere, sympathetic Sheep, whose lunar month is 7 July - 7 August.

Individuals born when the Sun was in this sign are considered Cancer individuals. Under the tropical zodiac, the Sun is in Cancer roughly from June 22 to July 22 and under the sidereal zodiac, it is currently roughly from July 21 to August 15. The corresponding month in the Babylonian calendar is Arax Du'uzu, dedicated to Adar.

About Marjorie Orr

majorie o A top international astrologer with 25 years experience and a following all over the globe, Marjorie brings the perfect mix of the mystic and the hugely practical to Kooma:
"When I gave up my television career to become a full time astrologer, what was intriguing were the number of people coming for consultations with a genuine interest in astrology, who were embarrassed to admit it publicly. More people believe in the influence of the stars than in any of the world's four main religions, yet few feel confident enough to say so. My fervent wish over the years has been to overcome that credibility gap - and help even the sceptics grasp that astrology is a highly useful tool, providing information on personality and life events, not easily available elsewhere. The fact that science cannot explain astrology is not a good enough reason for saying it does not exist."
