Daily Horoscope

Cancer ♋︎*

Sweet Cancer! Today the moon, your ruling luminary, is feeling all the feelings — and since you're emotionally tethered to it like a cosmic umbilical cord, so are you. You may cry at a commercial, a song, or literally just a pigeon looking a little lonely. This is not a weakness; this is your superpower, even if it makes ordering at restaurants take twenty minutes because the menu is 'just so beautiful.'

On the home front, you're in full nesting mode today. You'll rearrange furniture, make a soup from scratch, and text seventeen family members to check if they're okay — all before noon. Someone may call you clingy, and you'll hold that comment close to your heart and analyze it for the next six to eight business years. The stars say: let it go. The stars also know you won't.

By tonight, you'll build the coziest fort of emotions known to humankind and retreat into your shell, which is fair and valid. The cosmos remind you that not everyone who doesn't text back immediately has abandoned you forever. Sometimes people are just in the shower, Cancer. It's okay. You are loved, you are cherished, and the stars are giving you the biggest imaginary hug right now.
