Cancer Season

From June 20 till July 22, the Sun will settle in Cancer, inviting us to immerse ourselves in an ocean of emotion and caring, strengthening the bonds of family and home. This is the time characterized by emotional depth, empathy and desire for comfort, coziness and security.

Ruled by the Moon, Cancer season emphasizes nurturing, protection, and profound connection to our roots. During this period, we're encouraged to prioritize self-care, introspection, and tending to the needs of our loved ones. While it celebrates emotional intimacy and domestic bliss, it may also evoke moodiness, clinginess, and a tendency to retreat into our shells when feeling vulnerable. Over the next four weeks, it's essential to honor our feelings, cultivate a sense of belonging, and create a space where we can find solace and comfort amidst life's ebb and flow.

• You are the most sensitive and emotional of all Cancers. Your feelings are easily hurt and you take things very personally. • You have a strong attachment to your family and childhood memories. You may have difficulty letting go of the past. • You are very intuitive and can often sense the moods and emotions of those around you. This can be both a gift and a challenge. • You are a natural nurturer and caretaker. You love making others feel safe and comfortable. • You are a homebody at heart and prefer the comfort and security of familiar surroundings. Example: imagine Sarah, a June 25th Cancer, cherishes sentimental moments, feeling hurt if friends overlook details about her life. Hosting cozy family gatherings, she cooks favorite dishes, reminiscing about the good old days.

• You are more balanced in your emotions compared to earlier degree Cancers. You can be sensitive one moment and tough the next. • You have a strong need for security and stability in your relationships. You may have trust issues from past experience. • You fiercely shield your loved ones and spare no effort in ensuring their safety and well-being. • You are a natural problem-solver and enjoy helping others find practical solutions to their challenges. • You are drawn to the arts and may have a talent for creative pursuits like writing, painting, or playing music. Example: imagine Michael, a July 6th Cancer, who designs cozy homes as a successful architect, and is known for his soft-hearted nature despite a tough exterior. He's also an avid painter able to find solace in serene landscapes.

• You exude confidence and sociability among Cancers, fearlessly tackling challenges with self-assurance. • You are very ambitious and driven. You set high goals for yourself and work hard to achieve them. • You are a natural leader and often find yourself in positions of authority. You have a knack for bringing people together. • You adapt well to different environments and are less tied to the past than other Cancers. • You have a great sense of humor and can lighten the mood even in the most serious situations. Example: imagine Olivia, born July 18th, leading a successful tech startup, known for bold ideas and team inspiration. A social butterfly, she hosts events at her chic downtown loft, balancing career, social life, volunteering, and family effortlessly. Do not consider these examples as the only possibilities. They illustrate how pure Cancer energies can manifest. Each of us has 10 planets in our natal chart, positioned in various signs of the Zodiac, with different aspects to each other. Countless expressions of Cancer influences exist.

To get a better feel for the energies of the Cancer season, we suggest that you read the following book and rewatch the movie: 📖 'The Secret Life of Bees' by Sue Monk Kidd. Set in South Carolina during the fight for civil rights era, this moving novel follows the journey of a young girl named Lily Owens as she escapes her troubled past and finds solace and belonging in the company of three beekeeping sisters. Through themes of sisterhood, resilience, and the search for maternal love, the story explores the transformative power of connection and the healing abilities of home, echoing Cancer's nurturing instincts and longing for emotional security. 🍿 'Julie & Julia', released in 2009, and directed by Nora Ephron. Seamlessly weaves together Cancer's energies of service work and caring, emotional experiences, family relationships, connection to tradition and history, and, of course, a passion for cooking. Julie Powell (Amy Adams), an aspiring writer working at a call center helping terrorist attack victims, decides to cook all 524 recipes from Julia Child's cookbook in a year, chronicling her journey in a blog. Meanwhile, the film depicts Julia Child's (Meryl Streep) culinary career beginning in 1940s Paris, supported by her diplomat husband Paul. The film celebrates caring, love for tradition, and the power of food to bring people together, making it a perfect choice for Cancer season. In this period, we wish you abundant positive emotions, along with the warmth of support from your loved ones, and of course, may you feel comfortable and cozy throughout.
