Regarding monthly horoscope forecasts for August 2018, that is all for Cancer. You may also read our 2018 Cancer Yearly Horoscope Predictions to refer the overall scheme of astrological influences.
 

Notes:

• All predictions are based on the assumption that you are born with Sun in Cancer. Since, the positions of the other planets in your Natal Chart are not considered, we expect the predictions above to be approximation, rather than accurate. Based on the other planets, there may be some minor variations, suppression or even elevation of certain trends. More accurate predictions may be interpreted only with personalized Natal Charts.
• Please also remember that many trends of one week tend to slip into another (next week) like "dye, that bleeds" - especially for those born later in the decans. This is because the planets stay in the same combination of positions for a period of time, and thus, so does the emotions at play.
