Today's Horoscope

If you are particularly close to members of your family or those people in your immediate vicinity such as a friendly neighbour, time spent with them can be richly rewarding. But there is a proviso and that is that there could be a hiccup about who is to meet where and at what time. Best to double check the arrangements so that nothing goes awry.

Tomorrow's Horoscope

Whatever hopes and dreams you have, you are spending more time at home than usual. This could be down to a number of factors – but at the heart of it all is that dreaded word ‘responsibility’. You seem to be the one who has to pick up the pieces and keep everything running. You might have to deal with more obstacles than usual – but you will win in the end.

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 cancer 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 and have cancer horoscopes. 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.

In mythology Cancer is often associated with the Greek myth of the Lernaean Hydra, one of The Twelve Labours of Herakles and the mythical figure of Perseus, from the Greek myth of Medusa.[citation needed] Cancer is also associated with the Greco-Roman goddesses Selene/Luna and sometimes Artemis/Diana and Hecate/Trivia.[citation needed] The astrological symbol for Cancer is said to represent the claws of the crab, or else breasts, to symbolise motherhood and the link with the moon which can influence cancer horoscopes.

Astrologers are in broad agreement that a person born under the sign of Cancer share the following characteristics: tenacious, retentive; resourceful; very defensive; home-loving; loyal; intuitive; generous; conservative; motional; loving; shrewd; sensitive; protective; cautious; purposeful; wise; easily flattered. The same person, however, is prone to being: changeable or moody; hyper-sensitive; touchy; clingy and unable to let go; devious; dominating; insecure; coldness; madness; overcritical; harsh; depressive; deceitful; lacking in stability; manipulative. All of these characteristics influence cancer horoscopes.

Astrology - Cancer Horoscopes

Astrology is a group of beliefs about how the position of the planets impact on what we get up to on earth and how we are as people. A common assumption is that how the planets are placed can explain past, present and future events.

Most astrologers these days don't try to predict the future but instead look to the skies to reflect trends and developments. You'll probably be most familiar with Western and Chinese astrology; the first focuses on the casting of an astrological chart for an event based on the position of the Sun, Moon and planets, while Chinese astrology is all about the celestial equator. However, both have 12 signs and accordingly dictate who you are, what you're about and cancer horoscopes. It's different to astronomy which is the study of objects and phenomena beyond the Earth's atmosphere although the two disciplines used to be confused.
