Moon entered emotional security-loving Cancer at 1:04AM ET on Saturday, in case you hadn’t noticed. Cancer rules the Moon and its placement here suggests a weekend focus that may keep you close to home — or creating the feeling of home wherever you may be. Got a sudden urge to spend time in the kitchen? I know I did. Moon in Cancer may also suggest a need to connect with others on a emotional level — including your mother.

I’m not making a call on Sunday’s big game — though watching it should be a good time. There is no void of course Moon to twist efforts to move in a straight line, so upsets by underdogs are less likely to happen. Root for your home team, whichever one that may be.

One of the joys of Mars being retrograde is giving ourselves permission to slow down, especially after a turbo-charged month like January. I’m taking the day off from astrology today — see you in your emailbox on Monday morning.
