Daily Horoscope for Cancer Summary

The current transit is one that distorts and clouds our direction. We've been dealing with this to a great extent thus far through the Uranus-Node-Venus T-Square (which is getting closer to fading, but still kicking around for the time being). That's been going on for like a month now, so you're probably used to most of the aspects of that.

However, today we also have the Sun afflicted by Mars and Neptune. "The end we seek is not the end we hoped for." In our minds, we might lack a clear beacon of what it is we want. We might know kind of what it entails, but we don't really know the details through and through. Compounding things is the fact that the less we really know about what it is we want, the more likely we're going to cling to certain shreds of the dream. In interpersonal relationships, this is when we become smitten with one aspect of a person, ignoring all of the other flaws that make it less than a viable relationships once the vision fades and you embrace the reality. In more goal-oriented types of situations, this is where you might seek aspects of an achievement, like glory, renown, power, but underestimate the work it takes to get there, or realize once you have gotten there that it didn't bring you the happiness you thought would reside there.

All of this is undertaken with a ton of input. You're going to have a lot of thoughts to digest, and a lot of information coming in (much of which will be crap and unfounded, since Mercury retro). Every new thought, and every new experience adds more to what you have to process mentally. This leads to the biggest problem today, where you can be wrought with indecision and a lack of direction. In trying to pick a perfect path, so many people pick no path at all.

Remember that sometimes, taking a step back is better than taking no step at all. So if you're trying to get closer to your goals today, you might need to fail some, or aim somewhere off target. This isn't energy hardwired for experiencing success. This is very much energy that builds us up to be successful though. It's the skills you learn now, the things you figure out not to do, the dreams you can destroy because they weren't viable that help you reclaim a path, and ultimately get you closer to where you can walk along a straighter line towards achieving something you desire. Every misstep makes you stronger if you're willing to learn from it, so listen to what the universe is telling you today. Best of luck.

The Daily Horoscope for Cancer

At times this energy lends itself to something of a patronizing attitude, and that's something you'll need to be aware of. You might be treating certain experiences or people as something to judge, rather than accepting them on even terms. That's not to say you might not have your own criticisms, but unless you're an expert on a particular subject, you'll have this tendency to overvalue your own opinion. When it comes to your higher thoughts and knowledge, you might have to approach such things with a more humble attitude.
