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 8th House | Deepening your Allure
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 delves into your eighth house of intimacy, shared resources, and transformation. Your adventurous spirit is now called inward, exploring the depths of emotional bonds and shared growth. Financial collaborations or inheritances may come into focus—approach them with transparency.
This is your most powerful season to deepen into yourself—to work with the hidden layers of your psyche and unearth the unconscious threads that quietly shape your life. Let Cancer’s emotional tides guide you inward, toward the alluring mysteries that live beneath the surface. This is where transformation begins. By facing the shadows—old traumas, buried emotions, subtle power dynamics—you create space for healing and reclaim your life-force.
With Cancer in your 8th house, blocks around family, vulnerability, or imagination may rise, not to hold you back, but to be seen and softened. These same waters that once carried pain now offer your greatest empowerment. Let your emotions be your guides, your intuition your anchor, and your imagination the bridge to rebirth.
On June 24th, the radiant Sun meets Jupiter—now exalted in Cancer—for their annual conjunction, casting light on this deep house of regeneration. Jupiter’s journey through Cancer for the next year brings powerful opportunities to expand your soulful resilience, emotional wealth, and inner strength. This is a fortuitous time to clear emotional debts and welcome spiritual abundance.
Whether it’s through intimate partnerships, shared resources, or the reclamation of your personal magic, let this season initiate you into deeper self-trust and transformative connection. Invite in an expansive wave of shared power, and let it infuse you with soulful magnetism and imaginative grace.
The Cancer New Moon on June 25th encourages you to set intentions around entangled trust and vulnerability. Embrace the process of letting go to make space for renewal. Deep connections can lead to profound empowerment.

June 20–25
🌗 Last Quarter Moon → New Moon | Transformation & Sharing
As the moon wanes through your 5th and 6th houses, you’re called inward toward the center of your heart. Old leadership potential, creative callings left dormant, and emotions waiting to be felt may rise like embers for release. Let your vulnerability spill into safe spaces. Share what’s real. The act of expression transforms you—through art, through affection, through simply admitting what’s tender. Create something that lets others feel seen.
June 25–July 2
🌑 New Moon → First Quarter Moon | Intention, Detachment & Rejuvenation
The New Moon in Cancer blooms in your 8th house, the realm of soul-merging, sacred contracts, and emotional truth. This is a fertile time to set intentions around intimacy and empowerment. Detach from drama that drains. Reclaim your energy through conscious boundaries and soulful ritual. You are shedding a layer to renew your light—trust the process and let your emotional world realign from the inside out.
July 2–July 10
🌓 First Quarter Moon → Full Moon | Initiation & Assertion
With the moon rising through your 11th and 12th houses, you’re being pulled toward the collective and the cosmic. Initiate dreams that go beyond the personal—what visions do you hold for the world? Where can you show up with care and conviction for your greater community? Your spiritual insights are potent right now. Start something visionary. Even one small act can ripple through many hearts.
July 10–July 17
🌕 Full Moon → Last Quarter Moon | Maturity & Refinement
The Capricorn Full Moon glows in your 2nd house, asking you to mature in how you care for your resources—money, time, talents, and emotional currency. This is a week to refine your worth, to name what you truly value, and to lovingly release old habits of overgiving or undercharging. Step into a new rhythm of grounded generosity. Your fire needs fuel to keep burning—invest in yourself.
July 17–22
🌗 Last Quarter Moon → Season’s End | Transformation & Sharing (Again)
The moon journeys through your 5th house again as the season closes. It’s time to share the lessons you’ve lived—through leadership adn creativity. Ground your fire. Let it warm your circle and your fans. Talk to your heart. Speak sweetly to your inner child. What once felt mysterious now becomes a part of your story, woven into your wisdom.
Your Ground and Materialization of the Season
Earth in the 2nd House | Charismatic self-worth
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.
Cancer Season nudges you toward emotional vulnerability, shared intimacy, and deep connection. But Earth in Capricorn calls you to anchor in your self-worth and financial footing. What practical care ensures your freedom?
Feel the fertile ground of your voice and embodiment. Let these hold you now with soothing support. Embody your sensual, material focus as you open to your soul’s path and the processing required to receive and integrate your integral worth so it can feel at home within you.
At the July 10th Full Moon, honor the ways you’ve become a steward of your resources—with integrity and trust in slow growth. 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 investigations and the roots of your responsible values into equal and opposite alignment.
Personal & Continuous aims
Your Radiant becoming
PHASE OF Sagittarius’ YEARLY SEEDS | Imagining & Shining
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 are about returning to your core self with fresh perspective, vision that lights you up, and a reboot in how you are pushing your boundaries.
At the start of Cancer Season, your yearly Sagittarius seeds are in your inner world, finding soul alignment. This may require that you prune some of the possibilities you’ve recently thought about. Let all of the information drop away and see what feels good to your light rather than what you think your light should be. Find the fertile ground that holds your becoming.
Around June 30th you will start to feel more courageous with your expansive heart and light. You could feel some friendly competition or a need to defend your light’s presence, but the challenge is one that will help you see your victorious will. Let yourself shine and have fun while doing it, no matter the response.
Your Archetypal Journey
Jupiter in the 8th houses | overcoming insecurities
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, Jupiter, is the Sage, the Mentor, the Pilgrim, and the Seeker.
Jupiter: The Sage/Your Ruler | Stage: Test of Faith | Sign: Cancer | House: 8th | Gemini 7th House-Themed Journey
Theme: Trust, Transformation, and Relational Alchemy
Your current journey began in the eyes of another.
Earlier this year, Jupiter lit a match in your 7th house of relationships, not just to warm your heart, but to reflect your truth. That Gemini-ruled space brought mirrors—intimate, challenging, dazzling—and through them, you glimpsed parts of yourself you hadn’t seen clearly before. Conversations sparked. Choices emerged. Soul contracts were felt, revised, rewritten.
And now, Sagittarius, the mirror has gone translucent. Jupiter has descended into the Cancer-ruled waters of your 8th house, and what was once visible must now be felt. This is your Test of Faith—not only in others, but in the transformational power of emotional intimacy.
This leg of the journey is tender. It may ask you to let go of control, to sit in the mystery of love that deepens through vulnerability. It may confront you with themes of shared resources, deep commitment, trust, grief, or legacy. Jupiter in Cancer doesn’t simply want you to bond—it wants you to belong, soul-deep.
But first: the unraveling.
You’re being asked to release what you thought relationships were supposed to be. The ideas seeded in Gemini—sparkling, changeable, sometimes surface-level—now deepen into emotional truth. This is about trusting that the real work of love lives in the spaces beneath words.
And you, the archer, are learning to aim with your heart wide open—even when there is no visible target. To let others in, not just through intellect, but through shared healing. Through grief held together. Through magic made in mutual vulnerability.
Soulful Invitations:
What hidden belief about intimacy, trust, or commitment is ready to be released?
Where have I been protecting myself instead of opening to shared transformation?
What kind of love feels spiritually expansive, not just emotionally safe?
You are not losing yourself, Sagittarius. You are discovering how much more of you there is to love—and be loved by. Let this be your alchemy.
