Your year for clarity, healing and heart decisions
2026 will be emotional - but not overwhelming, rather clarifying. You find out who you really are, what you need and what you no longer support. At the end of the year, you'll stand tall: braver, clearer - and freer than ever before.
WHAT YOU GET
From the first day of the new year, Jupiter takes care of you. It is in your zodiac sign and ensures that life is soft, accommodating and benevolent. Jupiter knows love - the right and harmonious kind. Mercury, the planet of the year, also looks after you and makes sure you have nice encounters.
WHAT YOU LOSE
Saturn plays boss and watchdog in one. You mustn't do anything wrong and if you do, you have to make sure that everything is put right. Neptune, on the other hand, demands that you make no mistakes. You must be careful in 2026 - it is especially forbidden to hide behind a mask that you are not.
LOVE AND SEX
Until June 10, Jupiter is in your sign and Saturn shakes you out of a square position. This means that you will experience everything that the repertoire of love has to offer: Heartfelt moments, wild sex, drama, jealousy, disappointment, euphoria - and it's all very close together too. Why this bath of emotions? Saturn wants you to be clear about what you really want. At the end of this testing time - and this applies to couples and soloists alike - you will know what you really need, how capable you are of compromise and therefore of having a relationship, and who will win the race. From the second half of July, you can confidently walk down the aisle with whoever is (still) by your side. Please enter the second half of the year knowing that the stars will leave you alone and that you are entitled to a fulfilling love life.
CAREER AND MONEY
Tough but hearty! You'll have to work hard for the first six months, but you'll also receive very direct and extremely positive feedback, which will inspire you. Because as long as you are given the feeling that you are needed or even irreplaceable, you are prepared to give your all and, if necessary, double your efforts. You also have a very specific goal that you won't let out of your sight! From September onwards, a new situation arises: someone finds your upward striving anything but good and fights for the same position as you. Panic? Not at all! In your case, too, the saying that competition stimulates business proves to be true. Under pressure, you become even better and win the race.
💶 Financial tip for Cancer 2026
"Your gut feeling is your best advisor, even when it comes to money."
You are highly motivated in the first half of the year - use this for professional clarity, e.g. by attending a training interview, upgrading your role or applying for a job. Competition may arise in the fall - stay calm, keep at it. Tip: Keep an income and expenditure diary - it gives you control and security. Please only consider major investments from October onwards.
HEALTH
As long as Saturn is in opposition to your sign, you will automatically do everything right, be disciplined and sometimes really strict with yourself. A few hard nights are followed by asceticism, sumptuous meals are followed by a diet. Things get dicey when Jupiter disappears from your sign (early June) and you are anything but careful with your body. Very important: outdoor endurance sports - this is a real miracle cure for you!
YOU AND YOUR PARTNER
In April, Aries will tempt you to go on an adventure and more. Taurus promises sensuality squared - but wait until April. That's when love is at its peak. You tend to overlook Gemini - until June. Then it can no longer be ignored. The absolute favorite and hottest marriage candidate from April onwards is a Cancer. There's a bang with Leo - not out of love, but out of anger. There are three high seasons with a Virgo: in January, April and September. Libra will make advances to you in June and the second half of September - with success. Your top lover when it comes to sex is Scorpio. Sagittarius brings light into the gray season: your favorite in November. Capricorn swings at your level - in April, May and September. The restlessness of Aquarius has a deterrent effect. The Pisces is incredibly vital and sexy all year round: go for it!
IF YOU ARE YOUNGER THAN 25
You probably live in a family, have children and are fulfilled. If not, you need to get a move on. That doesn't mean that you're lacking anything without a family. But if you decide against it, you need something of equal value, such as a job that fulfills you.
IF YOU ARE OVER 50
Don't let Saturn drive you crazy. As a Cancer, you are a soul person. This means that you are determined and guided from within. Success, money and prestige are nice, but inner peace is more important.
IF YOU ARE LONELY
You are actually not. Even if you have no partner and no friends, the moon is still there for you; it is very close, even if it is far up in the sky. You can be absolutely certain: Your moon knows what you need.

💬 Mini mantra for Cancer 2026
"I deserve love that strengthens me - not love that weakens me."
Use it in moments of insecurity or when you feel you're bending too much.
🧠 Tip for mental health 2026
"Being tender and staying strong - it's possible."
As a Cancer, you have a sensitive inner life - and you will be tested in 2026. To avoid tipping over, you need mental stabilizers: fixed daily structure, soothing routines (e.g. warm evening rituals, journaling, grounding through nature). And: talk about your feelings - especially if you think you should keep quiet.
