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 7th House | Nourishing Your Resonance
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.
With Cancer Season illuminating your seventh house of partnerships, relationships take center stage. Your disciplined nature often focuses on personal goals, but now, cooperation becomes essential. Assess the balance in your relationships—are they mutually supportive?
When it comes to trusting others and making decisions, resonance is your compass. It’s the quiet knowing that arises when reason and emotion harmonize—when your soul hums yes before the mind has sorted through its pros and cons. Let yourself move from this place of intuitive clarity. Keep it simple. Let emotional peace be your guide, and allow decisions to bloom from the soft soil of inner alignment.
The seventh house also governs beauty and aesthetics—how we create harmony around and between us. Invite in the nurturing design language of Cancer: soft colors, tender textures, gentle curves, and reflective surfaces that echo feeling. Surround yourself with comfort, and watch how it deepens the grace in your relationships.
On June 24th, the Sun and Jupiter meet in their radiant, annual conjunction—this time in Cancer, where Jupiter is exalted and brimming with emotional wisdom. As Jupiter begins a year-long journey through this soulful sign, your relational world is poised for expansion. Partnerships may blossom with new depth and meaning. You may attract fortuitous allies, find yourself in uplifting negotiations, or be supported by partners who are themselves growing in beautiful ways.
Let this season be an invitation to open wider—to love more deeply, to harmonize more intuitively, and to trust the sacred rhythm of connection. Let your soul lead, and allow deep commitments to expand in every direction.
The Cancer New Moon on June 25th is a powerful time to set intentions around forming or strengthening partnerships. Open communication and emotional availability can deepen bonds. Remember, vulnerability is a strength that fosters genuine connection.
The animating guide of The Season
Your Lunar Month | Bookended in Depth & Connection
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.
Let yourself be shaped by the lunar movements through your chart and your impressive character woven together through the rhythm of the moon phases
June 20–25
🌗 Last Quarter Moon → New Moon | Transformation & Sharing
The waning moon flows through your 3rd and 4th houses, urging you to soften into emotional dialogues and nourish your roots. You’re in a cycle of quiet transformation—one that asks you to share the story behind the story. Let your words become water, cleansing and connecting. What conversations feel overdue? What inherited narratives need rewriting? The vulnerability you show now becomes a gift for someone else.
June 25–July 2
🌑 New Moon → First Quarter Moon | Intention, Detachment & Rejuvenation
The Cancer New Moon rises in your 7th house, inviting intentions around relationship, reflection, and the sacred art of connection. This is a week to tend to your inner equilibrium by attuning to the bonds that nourish you. Set boundaries with grace. Call in care. Let your emotional intelligence guide you toward rejuvenation in the presence of others—whether that means leaning in or lovingly letting go.
July 2–July 10
🌓 First Quarter Moon → Full Moon | Initiation & Assertion
As the moon waxes through your 10th to 12th houses, you’re called into the world—your role, your voice, your spiritual commitments. This is a potent week to initiate with clarity and confidence. Show the world what care looks like when made visible. Your ambition may be soft-spoken, but it holds power. Lead with compassion. Carve out sacred time for solitude and prayer—your soul thrives in both visibility and retreat.
July 10–July 17
🌕 Full Moon → Last Quarter Moon | Maturity & Refinement
The Capricorn Full Moon shines in your 1st house, casting a radiant light on who you are becoming. You’ve grown. You’ve softened. You’ve deepened. This is a moment of recognition—for the ways you’ve matured, for the dignity you carry in silence, and for your capacity to remain rooted while still reaching. Let the light reflect how far you’ve come. Then pass it on, generously and with grace.
July 17–22
🌗 Last Quarter Moon → Season’s End | Transformation & Sharing (Again)
The season ends with the moon moving through your 2nd and 3rd houses once more. Now, the transformation has become something tangible—something you can name, write, express, or build upon. Share your wisdom in grounded ways. Anchor your emotions into routines, relationships, and rituals that feed your self-worth. Speak the quiet truths you’ve been gathering. Let your care be practical. Let your voice be legacy.
Your Ground and Materialization of the Season
Earth in The 1st House | Assertive Awareness
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.
With the Sun in Cancer highlighting your relationships and emotional reciprocity, Earth in your sign brings you back to center. This is your chance to ground in self-discipline, embodiment, and soul-aligned authority.
Feel the fertile ground of your focused assertiveness. Let this hold you now with soothing support. Embody your passionate responsibility as you open to your soul’s path and the processing required to receive and integrate your agenda so it can feel at home within you.
The July 10th Full Moon in your sign is a culmination of self-awareness—witness your own transformation and the steadiness of your becoming. 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, nurturing relationships and the roots of your foresightful directness into equal and opposite alignment.
Personal & Continuous aims
Your Radiant becoming
PHASE OF Capricorn’s YEARLY SEEDS | Informing & Deepening
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 seeds this year carry the essence of clearing out past structures and aspirations to make way for new ones aligned with passion. It’s a year to rediscover the kind of building you want to do in life—and to reconsider where your reach is meant to take you.
At the start of the season, your Capricorn yearly seeds of becoming are in a phase of learning, gathering information, and making new connections. It’s your time to follow the sweet nectar toward possibility. Don’t worry yet about whether any one thing will bear fruit. Right now, it’s about meandering and exploring the pathways your light might travel. Let your light stay free; don’t commit it to any one thing just yet.
Around June 30th, your light may crave retreat from the overwhelm of spinning options. It’s time to deepen your light inwardly—to tend to it, and to notice what nourishes and stabilizes it. With a little daydreaming, the mental tensions subside, and you begin to hear the dreams carried by your inner light. The right, soul-aligned path quietly reveals itself. Follow what feeds your heart.
Your Archetypal Journey
Saturn in the 4th houses | Karmic Foundations
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, Saturn, is the Father, the Executive, the Initiate, and the Architect.
Saturn: The Initiate/Your Ruler | Stage: The Seat of Authority | Sign: Aries | House: 4th | Pisces 3rd House-Themed Journey
Capricorn, you are no stranger to the weight of responsibility, but now the terrain shifts—the roots, not the peaks, are where your power lies.
Saturn sits in your Aries-ruled 4th house, a fiery hearth beneath your mountain shell, and you are being summoned to claim authority not through outward achievement, but through inner belonging.
This current phase—The Seat of Authority—asks:
Where does your sense of structure originate? And are your foundations your own, or inherited by default?
What was once seeded in your Pisces-ruled 3rd house—your imagination, your voice, your capacity to intuitively understand others—now becomes the well from which you must speak to your lineage, to your inner child, to your sense of emotional security.
This is not easy ground for you, mountain soul. Aries here may feel impulsive, even volatile—yet Saturn’s task is to discipline the fire, not extinguish it. The call is to forge a new foundation of self-trust: one that can house your emotions without collapse, one that defends your right to feel and belong.
You are now learning how to become the elder not just of systems, but of your selfhood—especially the self that lives behind closed doors.
Sacred tasks for this phase:
Redefine what “home” means on your terms.
Set boundaries where there was once only survival.
Lead your family (chosen or blood) by embodying emotional courage.
Speak your truth from a place that honors your softness.
Saturn is preparing you for a long reign—but not one rooted in performance. This is a reign built on the quiet, potent truth of who you are when no one’s watching.
🔱 The mountain rises higher when its base is whole. Let your foundation be forged in courage, not reaction; in depth, not distraction. This is where the soul of your authority begins.
