Daily Horoscope

Cancer ♋︎*

Sweet, precious Cancer! Today the Moon, your beloved ruling celestial body, is doing something deeply emotional, which means you are also doing something deeply emotional — specifically, feeling ALL the feelings about something that happened three years ago while pretending to be totally fine. Truly, your emotional memory is a wonder of the natural world. Scientists should study it.

The middle of the day brings some workplace or social tension that you will absolutely not address directly because that would involve confrontation, and confrontation is simply not on the menu. Instead, you will nurture your grievances lovingly, like little seedlings, watering them with sighs and meaningful glances. By 3pm, you'll have composed seventeen imaginary arguments in your head, each one more devastating than the last. You'll use none of them.

But here's the beautiful thing, Cancer — by evening, your enormous, ridiculous, wonderful heart wins the day. You'll do something genuinely kind and thoughtful for someone who needed it desperately, and you won't even make a big deal out of it. The stars are, frankly, a little emotional about it. They're trying to hold it together. They are not succeeding.

* Consult a licensed adult before acting on any of this.

† Past performance of the universe is no guarantee of future results.

Consult Another Fate

all twelve are equally binding, which is to say not at all
