Cancer Horoscope Today - Mon, Feb 23, 2026

Today's Overview

Overall Rating:

9.2 /10

As the Moon, your celestial guardian, glides through the stabilizing sign of Taurus and forms a magnificent Sextile with both Venus and Jupiter, you find yourself wrapped in a rare cocoon of emotional security and expanding horizons. Today is less about the turbulent tides and more about the gentle swell of progress. With the Moon in its exaltation and the First Quarter phase pushing you toward decisive action, you have the emotional clarity to choose what truly nurtures your soul. While Jupiter's retrograde encourages a quiet, philosophical inward look, the cosmic alignment suggests that your intuition is your sharpest tool for navigating external challenges. Trust the 'gut feeling' that tells you when to lean in and when to hold back; the universe is conspiring to reward your patience and your protective nature today.
