As Above, So Below My Standards

Cancer Season starts this week. Cancer is ruled by the moon, so nothing stays the same for long because the moon changes signs every 1-2 days. You may notice yourself responding to life through the body first, logic second. Jupiter is now in Cancer for the first time in 12 years. Jupiter amplifies everything, so expect emotional expansion in the house it touches.

Home is your body–your community—work, etc. How do you define home in these areas? This is the role of Cancer season.

Aries Rising 

Things might get loud at home. Something from your past might resurface to remind you what you’ve outgrown. You don’t have to make peace with it. Just stop letting it run the show. 

Do: Read How to Do Nothing by Jenny Odell.

Don’t:  Confuse self-reliance with never asking for comfort.

Taurus Rising 

Expect news that changes the direction of a project. This isn’t the time for half-said things. 

Do: Watch The Eternal Daughter (2022). Send the pitch.

Don’t: Speak in circles.

Gemini Rising 

Financial stability is on the rise. Expect a raise or promotion. 

Do: Read The Art of Possibility by Rosamund & Benjamin Zander.

Don’t: Say yes to what drains you just because it pays.

Cancer Rising 

This is your time to shine. Let people witness the new you. There’s a big shift around how you show up. 

Do: Get new headshots. Buy the outfit you’ve been saving for a better version of yourself. Listen to “Yes I’m Changing” by Tame Impala.

Don’t: Say sorry.

Leo Rising 

Expect something to fall away in private. A delay clears the path for something better next month. Doors will close but new ones always open. Dreams may be intense. Relax.

Do: Take a walk without your phone. Tie up loose ends.

Don’t: Panic if nothing’s “happening”. It is. You’re just not announcing it yet.

Virgo Rising 

You’re clocking the difference between being included and actually feeling connected. You might join something new or start craving a different kind of community. It’s less about who's around you and more about how they’re holding you.

Do: Read Big Friendship. Reconsider allegiances.

Don’t:  Keep showing up just because you always have.

Libra Rising 

You’re being seen. But do you feel seen? Your career is moving. A major recognition is likely.

Do: Read Trick Mirror by Jia Tolentino. Revisit your elevator pitch.

Don’t: Conflate validation with self-worth.

Scorpio Rising 

Travel may come up. Spiritual or academic paths are calling for your attention. 

Do: Write a list of things that make you feel wonder.

Don’t: Mistake emotional detachment for wisdom. Just because you’ve been disappointed doesn’t mean you’re done learning.

Sagittarius Rising 

Something you’ve been holding in will come to the surface whether you like it or not. This could show up through money talks or intimacy issues.

Do: Voice-note the conversation you’ve been avoiding.

Don’t: Use humor as a coping mechanism.

Capricorn Rising 

Someone from your past might show up and you’re gonna have to decide if they still fit. 

Do: Watch Past Lives. Say the truth even if it ends things.

Don’t: Go numb believing that feeling nothing equals maturity.

Aquarius Rising

A daily rhythm could start to feel unsustainable. What you do everyday is what you believe.

Do: Put on a lo-fi show for your cat when you leave the room.

Don’t:Push through just to keep being “useful.” You’re not a machine.

Pisces Rising 

A passion project is about to suddenly get real attention. You’re also either falling in love or trying really hard not to.

Do: Say yes to the person that feels fun even if it feels inconvenient.

Don’t: Throw the draft away.
