Cancer – The focus this month is on your Twelfth House (Gemini) and Tenth House (Aries). There is a revolution taking place when you are alone which nobody except a therapist, psychic, rabbi, medium, nun, dream counsellor could appreciate. You may not have a confidante at all, Cancer. This is very much about your soul, spirit or psychology. A doctor may be involved (for example) although it is just as common to find a self-help book on your bedside table.
Uranus in Gemini is very new, very different and suggests quite radical changes on the inside in August 2025. Spiritual, psychic or psychological progress is guaranteed when Uranus moves through your chart as life will continually shift and change around you – creating the kind of forward momentum that makes it impossible for you to remain stuck where you were, Cancer.
This planet asks you to keep moving – usually because of larger global trends or major social changes which are happening around you. And if you stubbornly refuse? You will only be able to hang on to your old life for so long before you may find yourself either stranded, stuck and left behind – or even shocked by destiny which can no longer wait for you to move on. This may be the ‘religious’ wars taking place in Gaza or Ukraine which are turning some people off. It may be the arrival of psychedelics for depression. All of this is Twelfth House territory. How will you be affected?
Thanks to the North Node in Pisces and the end of Saturn and Neptune in Pisces, we are seeing new trends with religion, psychic life, hypnosis, meditation and anonymous online blogging. Again, all the Twelfth House concerns showing up on a YouTube channel near you. If enough other people also share your concerns, you may all find that you move forward together, breaking free of your old lives and forcing a massive chain reaction of change.
Cancer, what else is going on? Uranus in Gemini in your solar Twelfth may be matched by transits in Pisces in your natal Twelfth if you also have Pisces factors. If so, I would characterise 2024, 2025 and 2026 as three years of ‘Goodbye and Hello’ in terms of closing one chapter of your life and starting another.
It’s highly unusual to have both Saturn and Neptune transiting Aries and your Tenth House of success, ambition, position and mission. This classically manifests as a feeling of heavy restriction which you counter with escapism. The job that presses in or the course that locks you in with the resultant denial of the same and a plunge into sleep, drugs, alcohol or internet ‘vacationing’ from the real world. Just as common is a calling in life which bears very little resemblance to the everyday world (try being an influencer or an actor for a start). But for all its inherent escapism, it still surrounds you with walls, fences, gates and locks. Things come to a pretty pass in August 2025 because of outer planet aspects. So, Cancer, you have some decisions to make.
If you are accepting a new position, then you need to box clever. Carefully check the fine print on the contract and arm yourself with as many facts as you can – not only about your employers, but also about the state of your business/industry. You must now inform yourself, educate yourself and update yourself as much as you can about the work that you do or the position you’re about to take. If you don’t, you could be setting up some testing situations later.
The same advice applies to any new project, special work plan or new role you take up while this cycle operates. Knowledge is your greatest defence at this time. Whenever Saturn is in the Tenth House, you need to do your homework. The more you can live in the real world about the particular profession or position you’re choosing, the better off you will be.
Ask the sign just before yours about this cycle. They had it before you for around two years of their life. What happened? What did they learn? Gemini people (for example) may tell you about heavily demanding timetables or highly political situations at work which were impossible to escape. If you don’t work (you’re married to the breadwinner or you’re retired/jobless with quite a different set of ambitions and goals), then this general outcome as written above will affect your overall status and mission. So, you may be Prince William inheriting the throne.
As I’ve mentioned, the dual transit of Neptune and Saturn in the Tenth commonly results in ‘outlet’ existence with status, roles and goals that has nothing to do with the real world yet feels tightly constrained. The other classic outcome is an onerous career, course or unpaid work (being a carer, for example) and the resultant need to get out of it – literally, perhaps, in the sense that Australians describe drugs or alcohol as ‘getting out of it.’ However you are juggling this, there are answers in August 2025. This is all very new, so you need tactics and strategies.
