Cancer Season | June 20 - July 22
The Wheel Turns: Welcome to Cancer Season
As the Wheel of the Year crests into the Summer Solstice, we’re not just shifting zodiac seasons—we’re entering a whole new quarter of the year. Summer arrives in the Northern Hemisphere under the quiet leadership of Cancer, a cardinal sign that initiates not with fire and force, but with feeling.
Each quarter of the year begins with a cardinal sign—signs with the sacred gift of beginning. And Cancer ushers us into this new chapter with intuition, emotion, and a longing for rootedness. Unlike Aries’ bold spark or Libra’s airy dialogue, Cancer’s initiation is fluid, quiet, and deep—pulling us into the watery realm of memory, belonging, and the soul’s true desires.
This is the season to turn inward. To tend the soft spaces within and listen. What is your inner landscape trying to tell you about what you truly want? What does alignment feel like—not just in your mind, but in your body, your dreams, your longings?
Where Gemini's previous season brought ideas, social movement, and a thousand crisscrossing possibilities, Cancer asks us to gently prune. Choose a direction. Nurture one or two of those seedling visions into something real, something soul-fed. Let this be the moment you begin to walk the path—not all paths, just your path.
Cancer Season is ruled by the feminine: by the archetypal mother, the nurturing protector, the builder of homes and safe harbors. It invites us to check in with our emotional foundations. How do you feel held in life? Where do you feel safe to rest, to be vulnerable, to soften? This season asks for boundaries—not as barriers, but as loving containers. Boundaries that honor your energy, your privacy, your people, and your peace.
It’s the perfect season for family picnics by the water, for slow mornings and shared meals with those who nourish your spirit. There’s a tenderness in the air. A softening. Notice who you gravitate toward. Is there safety in their presence? Let them feel yours, too.
And while community is a balm this season, so is solitude. Cancer rules the subconscious. This is a dreamy time for journaling, for long aimless daydreams, for fiction that transports you to inner worlds rich with meaning. The heat of the sun drives us inward—not in withdrawal, but in sacred retreat. Gemini’s high mental buzz gives way to a more graceful unwinding of the mind. Let your thoughts drift. Let your imagination wander.
Ruled by the Moon—our ever-shifting queen of tides and moods—Cancer Season is an emotional ebb and flow. Luna changes signs every 2.5 days, coloring the atmosphere with ever-shifting hues. One day, you may feel open-hearted and ready to pour your soul into the world. The next, you may crave silence and sanctuary. Trust the rhythm. Tend to both the internal and external sunburns—what’s been overexposed needs cool balm, not pressure to push through. Let yourself be visible when the mood calls, and tucked away when it doesn’t. Offer that same grace to others. We are all moving through tides.
Across the zodiac, the Earth in Capricorn stands in balance to the sun’s watery sway. This is the ground beneath your barefoot dreams. Let your career, your aspirations, your sense of responsibility offer quiet structure—like a trellis supporting a blooming vine. You don’t need to strive right now. Let the life you’ve built, and are building, hold you. Especially around the Capricorn Full Moon, notice where your longing for mastery and integrity intersects with your emotional needs.
Above all, ease up. Journey through this season with deep breath and long exhalation. Explore soul over speed, roots over reach, presence over performance.
See what you discover when you soften into the soulfulness of summer.How the Season Activates You
Your Dimensional Growth
Sun In The 10th House | Building with Imagination
As the Sun moves through the signs and houses, it shines a light on a dimension of you. This helps you to become well-rounded and develop holistically.
Cancer Season highlights your tenth house of career and public image. Your diplomatic nature often seeks balance, and now, you're called to align your professional life with your emotional needs. Consider how your aspirations reflect your soul’s calling. Leadership opportunities may arise—embrace them with gentle confidence.
The tenth house often carries the weight of structure and expectation—it’s where we strive, build, and define success. With Cancer here, your imagination may not feel free to drift aimlessly like it might for others. But this isn’t a limitation; it’s a gift. You have the rare ability to shape your visions into something tangible, nourishing, and lasting. Yours is the imagination that builds sanctuaries, that holds the world together with quiet care.
Let your focused creativity become a foundation of compassion. Let your ambition be rooted in heart-centered mastery—lead with care, build with love, and reach with soul.
On June 24th, the annual Sun-Jupiter conjunction lights up the sky, and this year it blesses the sign of Cancer. Jupiter, now exalted here for the year ahead, expands your capacity to dream and do—especially in ways that nurture others. This is a potent moment to imagine what you’re here to grow in the world: home, healing, food, women-centered wisdom, emotional safety, artistry with soul.
Reflect on the sign and house of your natal Moon for more clues about where your fertile vision longs to root itself. The world needs your kind of mastery—the kind that feeds hearts and builds fertile futures.
The Cancer New Moon on June 25th offers a chance to set career goals that resonate with your inner self. Strive for a harmonious blend between your public responsibilities and private desires.
The animating guide of The Season
Your Lunar Month | Bookends of power
Luna is the ruling body of the season, creating a seasonal ambiance of mood and imagination. She will touch every part of your chart as she ebbs and flows with gentle speed. Her reflective glow brings insights to all aspects of your life. Listen to her intuitive whispers as she helps you ground into deeper alignment from the inside out.
Flowing through the moon's phases and dancing through the houses of your chart, let each week guide you toward an ambiance of balance, beauty, and soulful clarity.
June 20–25
🌗 Last Quarter Moon → New Moon | Transformation & Sharing
The moon travels through your 8th house, awakening the need to transmute the repression of personal worth. Something loud wants to be released—perhaps an old story of what you "should" do or how you “should” show up. Let a primal scream free. Share your voice with vulnerable rawness. Let power infuse your gut’s knowings. What you offer the world becomes medicine when it’s rooted in your authentic values.
June 25–July 2
🌑 New Moon → First Quarter Moon | Intention, Detachment & Rejuvenation
The Cancer New Moon opens the sky in your 10th house of purpose and visibility. Take a step back to clarify the vision of who you’re becoming. What does soulful success look like to you now? Release outside expectations and center your emotional authority. Set intentions that feel nourishing, not performative. Rejuvenate in solitude or under moonlight—this is your reset, your realignment with what truly matters.
July 2–July 10
🌓 First Quarter Moon → Full Moon | Initiation & Assertion
The moon dances through your 1st, 2nd, and 3rd houses, bridging your passions with your private, inner world. This is your week to initiate from your core self. Assert your will into the world—but do it from a wellspring of intuitive clarity. Initiate with depth. Let your clarity move into action. Trust that even your quiet influence is shaping a new path.
July 10–July 17
🌕 Full Moon → Last Quarter Moon | Maturity & Refinement
The Capricorn Full Moon shines through your 4th house—your roots, your emotional home. This is a week of emotional refinement. Let your inner structures mature. What legacy of care are you cultivating? Where do you need stronger boundaries? Speak the truth of your heart, even if it trembles. Your softness is your strength. Rework foundations that no longer support your growth. Anchor into safety you create for yourself.
July 17–22
🌗 Last Quarter Moon → Season’s End | Transformation & Sharing (Again)
The moon moves through your 8th and 9th house once more, inviting a final act of alchemy. Share what you’ve learned through entanglements, truth, and perspective. Let your wisdom free—curious, intelligent, vivacious. Offer your wisdom through adventure and story. There’s a vision returning now, but it’s one hard-earned. Let an ending also be a beginning, ripe with color and clarity.
Your Ground and Materialization of the Season
Earth in the 4th House | unflappable roots
In tandem with dimensional growth in our solar season, Earth’s placement, directly opposite the Sun’s reach and exerting energy, shows the dimension of us that has become the fertile ground maturing underfoot. It’s normal to feel like our efforts in a solar season aren’t paying off, but they will, in time, when that sign becomes the Earth’s sign, the ground holding us, embodied and tangible. Look to the Earth sign to tend to what is maturing and growing in your roots and soul, that needs you to be receptive and caring.
While Cancer Season invites you to shine in the outer world, Earth in Capricorn tethers you to your inner sanctuary. Ground your ambitions in a place that feels emotionally safe.
Feel the fertile ground of your respectable roots. Let these hold you now with soothing support. Embody your caring focus as you open to your soul’s path and the processing required to receive and integrate your strict depths so they can feel at home within you.
The July 10th Full Moon may bring clarity around your foundations—how they’re shifting, and what care your lineage, body, and home require. The duality of our need to shine and become versus feel and receive arises at our full moons. It’s a time to bring your radiant, soulful aspirations and the roots of your solid care into equal and opposite alignment.
Personal & Continuous aims
Your Radiant becoming
PHASE OF Libra’s YEARLY SEEDS | Refinement & Harmonizing
Separate from the Sun shining a light on our different dimensions through the signs and houses, we have another solar journey—a spiral journey of Conscious Evolution and Radiant Becoming—the path of illumination. I track this journey from your sign’s new moon to its next new moon, with a formula that’s a bit my own.
Your yearly seeds have an essence of renewal. It’s a year of purging and reinventing your relational core—how you trust others, the kinds of partnering that feel right, what commitment and fairness mean to you, and finding new vitality in your aesthetic drive.
At the start of Cancer Season, you are in the process of putting your light into the world in service toward the communal good. It’s a time of feeling into what’s useful and not about your light and refining the way you grow to be more prioritized and pure. More rhythmic and organized.
Around July 1st, you start to feel the call back to yourself. What do you take with you? This brings a time to understand life in a way you are all too familiar with—resonance. Rather than making critical decisions right now aligned with pros and cons, it’s more about what feels right, despite appearances. This starts a process of unraveling as life mirrors unconscious patterns that need pruning. It’s all toward a beautiful harmonizing of your path. Lean into the tense discomfort and find peace on the other side.
Your Archetypal Journey
Venus in The 8th & 9th Houses | Intelligent Access
The planet that rules your sign gives you an archetype—a leading character flavor. This planet is a central part of how you show up and your personal agenda. We go on journeys in the skin of our archetypes, like leading characters in books and films. Your ruler, Venus, is the Heroine, the Reflective Lover, the Elegant Negotiator, and the Designer.
Venus: The Heroine/Your Ruler | Stage: Meeting the Faery Godmother | Signs: Taurus/Gemini | Houses: 8th/9th | Aries 7th house-Themed Journey
The Heroine’s Journey: Meeting the Faery Godmother
The Faery Godmother stage is when grace begins to gather around you. In dreams, in synchronicities, in gentle nudges from unexpected allies. She arrives not only to affirm your value, but to gift you with tools, insights, and initiations you need to carry forward on your path. For you, dear Libra, this is not just about feeling loved—it’s about learning to receive love in the deepest, most transformational way.
As Venus moves through your 8th house in Taurus, she whispers of alchemy and intimacy. This isn’t surface-level sweetness—this is beauty that breaks you open, that asks you to surrender. A lover’s touch that reawakens your trust. A moment of letting go that grants you more power than holding on ever could. The Faery Godmother here arrives in the shadows, in the undercurrents of your emotions, guiding you into deeper relationship with your own vulnerability. You are learning that softness is not weakness—it is the portal to your truest power.
And then, as Venus moves into your Gemini-ruled 9th house, her magic turns to wisdom. You are gifted with a widening vision—philosophies that soothe your soul, spiritual studies that stir forgotten truths, a hunger for meaning that feels oddly familiar. The Faery Godmother now appears as a teacher, a traveler, or a wild thought that sets your soul ablaze. She brings you a lantern, and asks you to step into the world with open eyes and open heart. Your path is expanding. Say yes to it.
But underneath it all, the Aries-ruled 7th house hums with origin. This is where the heroine’s journey began for you—in the mirror of another. A relationship may have ignited this quest. A conflict, a kiss, a calling toward a deeper union. You are being re-shaped by the sacred “other”—the soul who challenged you to remember who you are, who reflected your fire back to you.
Themes for this Venusian stage:
Receiving love as transformation, not transaction
Letting go in order to truly merge
Surrendering control to gain soulful power
Expanding into philosophies of love, pleasure, and spirit
Trusting intimacy as a form of growth and liberation
Letting meaningful relationships become teachers
You are not just finding beauty now—you are learning to trust it again, in all its wild, layered, erotic, and divine forms.
