Career Horoscope for cancer

While this is likely to be a lucrative month, in both your two professional houses the message is the same and that message is slow and steady. As the dwarf planet Eris spends her first full month in retrograde motion in your career sector she is barely moving and as she will always spend the second half of each year in retrograde motion, this is something you intuitively sense. Eris has been here since 1926 and as you have never known life without her here, your sixth sense will be telling you that it is time to pull back. At the same time, while having the asteroid Juno in your work sector is a new experience, at a standstill ahead of her direct turn on 3rd August she is also calling for a slow and steady approach. Juno has been in retrograde motion since April, with the queen of commitment going back over old ground and standing back while Eris took career matters forward. Now they are swapping places, with Juno's direct turn a chance to look and start moving forward on the job front while career matters move into review mode. Yet whether it was Eris turning retrograde or Juno turning direct, both have had to slow down and this is where a call for a slow and steady approach comes in. Yet slow and steady does not mean you won't be feeling confident or that job and career matters aren't well supported. Until they left your income sector late last month, Venus and Mars formed a friendly aspect to both Eris and Juno and Mercury will do the same before leaving on 12th August and the Sun on 23rd August. This caps off several months of positive energy across the income, work and career fronts that will have a positive impact on the rest of this professional year. While the pace will eventually pick up on the job front in the closing months of the year, August is a month for making the most of a slower pace.
