Welcome to ๐ Cancer Season ๐
So, we're about to wrap up Gemini season and dive headfirst into the cozy, watery depths of Cancer season. Gemini season has been all about exploration, curiosity, and socializing. With our minds buzzing like busy bees, we've been soaking up knowledge, connecting with friends, and maybe even feeling a bit scattered at times. The sun moves into Cancer on June 20th at 3:51pm CT and stays there until July 22nd.
But as we wave goodbye to the airy energy of Gemini, we're stepping into the warm embrace of Cancer season. Picture yourself curling up under a soft blanket with a cup of tea โ that's the vibe of Cancer season. It's all about nurturing ourselves and others, finding comfort in our cozy spaces, and tapping into our emotional depths.
With Cancer ruling the home and family, we might feel a stronger pull towards spending time with loved ones, creating a sense of security in our surroundings, and indulging in some serious self-care. Emotions may run a bit deeper during this time, so don't be surprised if you find yourself feeling more introspective or sentimental.
Plus, with the Sun moving into Cancer, we're also gearing up for the summer solstice, the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere. This is a time of abundance, growth, and basking in the sunshine (both literally and metaphorically). Soak up those rays!
Get ready to trade in your social butterfly wings for a cozy crab shell as we dive into Cancer season. Embrace the nurturing energy, cherish your loved ones, and remember to take care of yourself, inside and out. Here's to a season filled with love, warmth, and plenty of cozy vibes.

โ First, the Sun is in Cancer...
The sun moves into Cancer on June 20th at 3:51pm CT and stays there until July 22nd. Cancer season ushers in a nurturing and emotionally rich atmosphere, inviting us to explore our feelings, strengthen our bonds, and create a sense of security and belonging. Governed by the nurturing crab, Cancer encourages us to prioritize self-care, family connections, and emotional well-being.
You can expect:
Emotional Sensitivity: Cancer is a water sign known for its deep emotional sensitivity and intuition. During Cancer season, you may find yourself more attuned to your feelings and those of others. It's a time for introspection, emotional healing, and expressing vulnerability.
Family and Home Focus: With its strong ties to the home and family, Cancer season highlights domestic matters and personal relationships. You may feel drawn to spend more time with loved ones, create a cozy sanctuary, make home updates to better represent your inner world, or reflect on your roots and heritage.
Nurturing Energy: Like a protective mother, Cancer nurtures and cares for those around it. This season encourages acts of kindness, compassion, and support for others. Pay attention to your instincts and how you can offer comfort and reassurance to those in need.
Intuitive Insights: Cancer's intuitive nature can lead to profound insights and inner wisdom. Trust your gut feelings and inner guidance during this time, as they may provide valuable information on personal matters and decision-making.
Emotional Boundaries: While Cancer is deeply empathetic, it's essential to maintain healthy emotional boundaries. Be mindful of taking on too much emotional baggage from others or neglecting your own needs in favor of caretaking. Self-care practices are crucial for maintaining emotional balance.
