Health & Wellness
Remember, Cancer, while having the moon as your ruling planetary body means that you're creative as hell and highly emotionally intelligent, there are a few downsides. One is that even though eclipses are stressful for everyone, the lunar variety affects you more than others. The first of the year comes on Monday, March 25. Put on some loungewear, eat some delicious food, and avoid the drama by saying in. Another comes later in the year on Tuesday, September 1, and we prescribe the same prescription of as much sleep and self-care as you can manage.
When lovely Venus sashays into your sign, Cancer, on Monday, June 17, prepare to feel extra pretty.
