Cancer | Shells, Secrets, & Soul-Searching Seas.

2026-02-18| Dearest Cancer,

Wednesday finds us at a delightfully curious intersection, doesn’t it? It’s a day for shedding a little quiet introspection and letting yourself be gently nudged towards… well, a little bit of everything. The stars are whispering, “Expand your orbit, dear one!” and frankly, they’re usually right.

This week’s solar shift is really awakening that expansive ninth house within you – the part of you that loves travel, new ideas, and, let’s be honest, a good story. You might find yourself unexpectedly craving a change of scenery, and resist that urge at your peril! Don't necessarily need a plane ticket, though. A long walk in a new part of town, a visit to a museum with exhibits that make you ponder the universe, or even just rearranging your furniture to create a fresh, invigorating space can do wonders.

Now, I know some of you Cancers tend to hold onto worries like precious seashells – lovely, but perhaps a little heavy to carry around. And today, the cosmos is gently reminding you that dwelling on past missteps isn’t going to change them. It’s okay to have learned from them, absolutely! But let them go, darling. Recognize your unique brilliance, your particular set of talents. You're not repeating a script; you're crafting a beautiful, slightly quirky story all your own.

There’s a sweet opportunity for connection here too – particularly with someone who sees the world a little differently. Don’t shy away from that ‘different’ – it’s where the magic often hides. And speaking of magic, pay attention to the practical side of things, too. The stars are giving a boost to the fields of medicine and the law; perhaps a course you’ve been considering, or a conversation you’ve been putting off, could offer a surprising turning point.

Don’t let Wednesday become just another day blending into the background. Be bold! Be curious! Embrace the chance to learn, to explore, to connect. This is a chance to remind yourself that you're a swirling vortex of potential, and you’re delightfully capable of charting your own course. Remember, this too shall pass, as all cycles do. Just keep swimming, sweet one.
