You are in a sociable mood and ready to network with new connections. Enjoy participation in groups or clubs. Your charm will be on full display. Make sure you save time and energy to attend to matters at home though. A parent or sibling may need your attention or comfort right now. Bitter memories are dispelled by pleasant recollections and a general feeling of well being in the air. Social and financial security are important to you now. Surprises may be in store, perhaps an inheritance. Responsibilities to a father figure come into the picture now. If you feel emotionally drained, take time to gather strength.

Who’s the boss of you, Cancer? If you’ve been giving someone else too much authority, you can reclaim your crown (and your time) over the next few weeks. Mercury turns retrograde on Saturday, backing through Aries and your goal-setting tenth house until March 29, then slipping into Pisces and your worldly, outspoken ninth house until turning direct on April 7. While it’s great to take command of your destiny, be careful not to lock horns with people who are actually your allies. Any attempts to buck the system may put your position on the rocks. If you’re at the top of the food chain, err on the side of kindness and clarity to keep your team in line. A heavy hand won’t get you as far as a few words of encouragement. On Sunday, take an honest assessment: Have you been a little harsh with your people, Cancer? Someone who’s been on the receiving end of your tough love could return the favor, but before you get defensive, hear them out. What feels like an attack at first may turn out to be wise counsel. Look for the lesson in this experience. Did you hurt someone’s feelings by being too stringent? If that’s the case, you may want to apologize for a rare moment of insensitivity.
