General
August 2023 is a month where you should trust your inner voice.
A favorable month for self-reflection, family, relationships, abilities and finances. This month, Cancer will receive useful information during conversations and business correspondence that will help you move forward at the right time.
Don’t worry, even during Mercury retrograde. It will be all right.
Love and Relationships
Due to the influence of Jupiter in Taurus, everything is going well, but slower than you would like.
Retrograde Pluto in Capricorn in the House of Relationships shows Cancer what’s really important. Dedication and trust.
Your partner is willing to take initiatives, but that can turn out to be surprising.
Retrograde Venus in Leo makes Cancer extra charming and super-attractive, but there is also self-doubt. Cancer is now much more selective when it comes to a partner, you want the best and don’t settle for less. In the steady relationship it is good to talk to each other about the future, such as a pregnancy! Single Cancer can be surprised this month, because someone in your area makes a lot of effort to seduce you! Take the time to think before making a decision.
Family and Home

Mars travels through Libra from August 28 to October 12, 2023, which is a favorable and energetic period to do fun things with your family such as vacation, days out or a reunion, family gathering or event. Cancer, with the energy of Mars, is more defensive, protective and assertive when it comes to your private life.
Career
With the North Node in Aries in the Tenth House of Career, the time has come to take your stage, Cancer. With a view to your career, you are busy broadening your horizons, promoting yourself with a presentation or you are busy with a study, a business-oriented course or retraining course.
Retrograde Chiron in the 10th House of Career and Reputation is the cause of fear of failure due to insecurities rooted in your childhood. This inner insecurity is holding you back from leading a new project or taking on more responsibility in your career.
August 2023 is a favorable month for business travel and study.
Especially the Cancer who works in the technical, creative or medical world can make progress this month.
The Full Moon in Pisces of August 31, 2023 could be a game-changer.
The Full Moon is like a spotlight that shows you what is or isn’t true and who or what not to trust. If you have any doubts about travel, study, legal conflicts or spirituality, be wary of a decision, think twice first, because it’s all about details.
Finance
The Full Moon in Aquarius of August 1, 2023 falls into your House of Shared Finances, death and rebirth.
