Overview

The main reading

Dear Cancer, you may be feeling a little overwhelmed by your commitments today. As the Moon enters Sagittarius, you'll want to strike a balance between work and home. You may desire to go on a long road trip, but Astroyogi astrologers predict that job obligation will tie you down. You'll have to strike a balance between all of these factors. You won't be able to please everyone, but you should be able to make some progress on all fronts. According to Cancer daily horoscope , wearing burgundy red can bring good fortune, as will time between 10 am and 11 am.

Love

Romance and relationships

Today if you have been experiencing some discord in the home you will find that the conflict comes to some resolution. This will be a relief to everyone in the home, not just you. Do try to maintain the peace in your household and discuss controversial matters behind closed doors. Protect the children from any anger or resentment in the home.

Career

Work and ambition

If you recently sat for a civil service exam, you may find that today is the day you receive good news. You have been patiently but anxiously awaiting the results and today you should get the response you were hoping for. All the best!

Finance

Money and resources

Today you can feel free to buy that one special thing that you`ve had your eye on but have been resisting to buy. Go ahead; you will be glad you did. That doesn`t mean that others will think you should have bought it, but if you do not have buyer`s remorse, then you will be fine!

Health

Body and energy

Today you will find that your friends and family are your best allies in terms of keeping your health on track through a healthy and active lifestyle. Perhaps you will start walking or running together, or play squash together at the local fitness centre. Either way you`ll have some partners in this quest and battle for fitness so you won`t have to walk this road alone.
