2026
January 2026 is by far the best month for single Cancers. Even if you’re coupled up, January brings a renewal of love — let yourself enjoy life. The energy of January will carry you through the first half of the year until Juno stations retrograde on August 11.
August, September, and October could all bring some challenging moments to your romantic life through a breakup, difficult conversations, or the return of past partners. Be sure that you don’t make any immediate decisions during this time and instead hold off until Venus and Mercury are direct on November 13 to decide what you want for yourself and the future of your relationship.
If you're single: 2026 starts off with a bang, Cancer. Through January, Mars, Sun, Venus, Juno, and Mercury are all in Capricorn, which is the ruler of your house of new love and dating. You will be the luckiest in love as you begin 2026. Remember that you will have to take a chance in love and be open to growing together as a couple.
With Juno retrograde later in the summer, you may change your mind about someone or get a nudge to return to a past partner. With very few challenging aspects in 2026, this should feel like a peaceful year, especially as Jupiter finishes its time in Cancer. Live life to the fullest and embrace every chance for love.
If you're in a relationship: Everything that happens does so for a reason, Cancer. While the first half of the year is relatively smooth, that doesn’t mean there will be a lack of action. Focus on building a relationship that fosters your independence and breaks the cycles of your past. Let yourself believe in love and focus on being soft. You don’t want a relationship where you will have to do it all, so learning to receive is essential.

There is a happy balance of independence and allowing yourself to be cared for in 2026. This will help you understand the difference between red flags you should probably walk away from and growing pains you’re meant to work through together.
