Cupids golden arrows could pierce your cynical (yet secretly super-sentimental) heart this week, so get ready for a romantic revelation. Thought you were above those emotions? Guess again. On Tuesday, a solar eclipse in Scorpio energizes your amorous, glamorous fifth house. A new opening for love could come like a bolt from the blue. If youre already in a relationship, you could find yourself awash in feelings for the one youre with. These could span the range from awe to anger, but whatever youve bottled up will come rushing out, ready to be dealt with squarely once and for all. Sharing your true feelings, for better or for worse, is the only way a relationship can remain authentic. Stop being polite and start getting real. Theres nothing like a lovers quarrel to rev up the sparks, as long as you keep cruel and cutting words out of the equation. For some Crabs, this solar eclipse could herald a pregnancy, as the fifth house rules fertility. Even if no bun winds up in the oven, a magical child could arrive in your life, like a niece or nephew or friends kid who could use your special brand of caretaking. Tap into your nurturing nature and be the chicken soup to this childs soul. Are you ready for your shot at fame? The cameras may come a circling near Tuesdays eclipse, or an opportunity to present your ideas to a large audience. Dont let your shyness stand in the way of your carpe diem attitude. Focus on providing something meaningful for the world instead of worrying about what others will think of you. Theres one challenge being thrown in the mix, however: on Wednesday, Mercury retrograde slips back into Scorpio and your fifth house, moving in reverse through that part of your chart until resuming forward motion on November 26. Your communications with people could become heated and dramatic, so youll definitely have to choose your words carefully. Old flirtations may spark up again. It aint over till its over, Cancer, so if you feel like checking in with a lover from your past, dont be surprised. Just dont go poking around in those toxic dumping grounds. You dont need to swill from the same vial of poison if you already know it will be the death of your self-esteem. That said, if it was only a matter of bad timing that kept you apart, it could be worth it to check in again. But no need to recycle romances. On Saturday, lusty Mars moves into your seventh house of committed partnerships until December 25. Your magnetic appeal will draw many an admirer your way and youll find it easier to attract people who want to play for keeps. In your career, start working the buddy system more aggressively. A joint-venture or sharing of some aspect of your work could prove to be profitable now. Mars CAN aggravate issues in existing partnerships, so get ready to go toe-to-toe with someone who doesnt understand the meaning of playing fair. Youll find yourself in warrior stance more often than not; just dont underestimate your own firepower. These discussions are delicate and you dont want to burn any bridges by being too angry or aggro.

General Characteristics of Cancer

Sensitive Cancer is ruled by the ever-changing Moon, and your moods go through many cycles. You're intuitive and nurturing, even psychic. Pay attention to your dreams, especially near a Full Moon. You are sensitive and loyal, with a ready shoulder to cry on. Cancer loves to get domestic, serving your friends and family home-baked goodies and tea. When you get moody, you need to be comforted, or else just left alone. Like a crab, you can cling -- or pinch -- when you feel threatened or vulnerable. And thrifty Cancers can pinch pennies just as tightly. (Of course, you also love to spend! It's a mood thing.) To make life easier, surround yourself with comfort: a cozy sweater, a favorite book, trusted friends, and a stash of your favorite goodies. Cancers are close to their moms, so keep yours on speed-dial and call her when you're down. You may be an unofficial mom to everyone in your life, too. Taking care of kids, friends, and pets can keep your spirits high.
