Cancer — Saturday 15 August 2026

You've been a very good friend to someone for a very long time, and you have not received equivalent goods in return. You know this the way you know your own postcode: without having to think about it, just there, filed permanently. *Mars* in your sign is bringing this to the surface today, not in a way that makes you say anything, but in a way that makes you notice, sharply, who texts first. Who remembers. Who makes the plan and who turns up to the plan someone else assembled entirely. You've been mentally recategorising a friendship for a few weeks now, and Saturday has given you the unstructured hours in which this sort of reckoning really gets its boots on. *Mercury* conjunct *Jupiter* in Leo suggests the other person is having a very nice time right now. Quite possibly telling someone else a story that's a little bit yours. The uncomfortable calculation you're doing isn't cruel. It's accurate. You've always been better at this than anyone gives you credit for, which is itself data. You'll probably make the tea again. But you've noticed.
