Aug 18, 2025 - Aug 24, 2025 - You’re usually comfortable staying inside your shell, Cancer, but thanks to Mercury in charming Leo right now, you’re glowing with confidence! Your confidence in communication spikes this week, so why not DM that cutie or start a flirty thread? You don’t have to be shy about expressing yourself or adding a playful twist to a planned date.
The new moon and sun move into earthy Virgo on Friday, bringing a major refresh moment in your love life. You’re way into intelligence, calmness, and quiet charm over drama, so start considering slow-paced coffee dates or long walks with someone who shares your taste in music or books. Someone who shows up crazy late isn’t worth your time.
Over the weekend, a sun-Uranus square takes you out of your comfort zone and gives you a cosmic jolt. You might be unexpectedly turned on by someone you initially put in the friend zone, or your plans could get changed in a way that leads to a much better match. You never know when and where serendipity will strike, so keep your options open.
