♋︎ Cancer horoscope, May 2028
Friends and the future (until 20 May)
A month for friends and plans. Shared projects get going, and the future feels more open. Say yes when you are invited.
Retreat and quiet (from 21 May)
In these weeks you need more rest than usual. Withdrawing is not standing still but getting ready. Get enough sleep and let old things fade away.
Venus, Mars and Mercury
- Venus works quietly in these weeks. A gentle fondness still needs time before it shows.
- Mars brings momentum to groups and projects in these weeks. Not everyone wants to go as fast as you.
- Mercury makes you thoughtful in these weeks. Write down what goes through your mind.
Mercury retrograde, 21 May to 14 June 2028: Mercury is retrograde in the house of retreat: a good time for thinking and tidying up.
Venus retrograde, 11 May to 23 June 2028: Venus is retrograde in the house of retreat. Feelings you have not looked at for a long time come up. You give them time.
New moon and full moon
- Full moon, 8 May, 19:48 UTC, in Scorpio · Joy, children and play: in love it becomes clear what is real. Feelings want to be shown.
- New moon, 24 May, 08:16 UTC, in Gemini · Retreat and quiet: A quiet new start. A good moment to pause and put things in order.
Your days
Good days: Mon 8, Tue 9, Wed 17, Thu 18, Fri 26, Sat 27, Sun 28
Days with a headwind: Sat 6, Sun 7, Fri 12, Sat 13, Fri 19, Sat 20, Sun 21
Good days: the Moon is in your sign's element. Headwind: it is square or opposite your sign.
Love and relationships
Days for love: Mon 8, Tue 9, Fri 12, Sat 13
The Moon is then in your house of love or of partnership.
The dates are computed: when a planet changes sign, and where the new and full moons fall. The readings follow tradition and are not a promise. The areas follow the solar houses of your sign.
