Cancer Horoscope Today
Today the Moon sits in Ashwini nakshatra (Aries), and your lord Moon anchors today's transit reading.
Moon in your 8th house with retrograde Rahu stirs hidden emotional currents today, while Mars and Jupiter in your 1st house give you the inner fire to face uncomfortable truths.
By life area
Love · Relationships
Venus in your 4th house softens the home atmosphere, yet Moon in the 8th with Rahu can bring an unspoken tension between you and your partner today.
Career · Work
Sun and Mercury together in your 3rd house sharpen your communication at work, but Saturn retrograde in your 9th may delay recognition from a senior or mentor.
Money
Ketu retrograde in your 2nd house of wealth still clouds clarity on a savings decision, so avoid any major financial commitment driven by today's restless 8th-house Moon.
Health
Mars in your 1st house gives physical drive, but Moon in the 8th with Rahu can drain your mental energy quickly, so pace yourself and stay hydrated.
