The honest horoscope
Cancer horoscope for May 2027
Cancer, May is mostly supportive, and more of it is about friends and hopes than anything else. Until 20 May the Sun is supportive for friends and hopes, and so are the new Moon on 6 May and Venus from 15 May. The month’s main date is 29 May, when Mercury moves into Cancer itself — Mercury is talking, writing, deals and the fine print. From 15 May Mars is neutral for talk and short trips. On 20 May the full Moon is supportive for play and romance. All month Saturn is tense for career and standing.
