Cancer career horoscope — 2027

Work runs through a slower current for much of the year, with Saturn planted in Aries and your tenth house of career and reputation asking for patience over speed, especially once it turns retrograde on August 9 and revisits a project or a superior's expectations you thought were settled. Early on, Sun and Mercury opposing your sign from Capricorn and your seventh house through January 13 and January 20 respectively put collaborations and contracts under direct scrutiny; read the fine print before you agree to anything binding. Mars in Virgo, sextile your sign from the third house of communication, makes it easier to negotiate or pitch even while retrograde until April 1, so use conversation rather than force to move things along. Jupiter's retrograde in Leo keeps ambitions quietly under review through your second house of resources rather than pushing for a big leap, but once it turns direct on April 13 and later enters Virgo and your third house on July 26, ideas you've been sitting on finally find an audience, good timing for a proposal, a pitch, or a return to writing. Treat the first half of the year as preparation and let August's Saturn retrograde be a chance to fix something rather than a setback.
