Today's Horoscope for Cancer

February 8, 2026
You feel more lackadaisical now, less focused on mundane tasks, and possibly less energetic as well. Your imagination and fantasy life is very active and you can dream up some very creative ideas. Negatively, you tend to dissipate your energy or to avoid the real world. Don't let annoying disagreements get your goat -- put your patience hat on and do your best to act like a saint. It's something to shoot for, anyway.
