Welcome to the tidal pools and emotional tethers of Cancer season, my babies.
What will happen, with the sun swimming in the murky waters of the cardinal crab? Two signs will float where others flail. They will swim where others sink.
Is your sign about to thrive?
CANCER (June 21 – July 22)
What a time to be alive, Cancer. Your solar return is triple stacked with the sun in Cancer flanked by Mercury, the planet of communion, and Venus, the planet of attraction.
This planetary energy suggests there has never been a better time to fully express (Mercury) and wholly invest (Venus) in what lights you the f–k up (sun).
As cardinal water, you are more in tune with your needs than most, but the ebb and flow of your own volatile emotions can cloud your clarity.
Fear not; this season, your trajectory is supported by the laws of attraction and the gods of communication. You are poised to know both what you need and what you cannot abide by — and self-assured enough to speak to both.
A pair of Capricorn moons ushering in and closing out Cancer season shine a double dose of light upon your seventh house of partnerships, setting the stage for you to cue the Steve Winwood and call in the “Higher Love” you’ve been wishing/hunting/yearning/spell casting for.
Can dig.
SCORPIO (October 23 – November 21)
For Scorpios, particularly Scorpio risings, Cancer season is a real boon. The crab rules the scorpion’s ninth house of expansion, education, and adventure. Newness is the name of the game here, folks and the time is nigh to take a trip, literal, metaphorical, or psychedelic. And get wet while you’re at it. As we wade through the tides of a fellow water sign, you are strongly encouraged to submerge in local lakes, streams, oceans, and bathtubs.
The ninth house is concerned with perspective and exploration, and a Scorpio’s favorite after-school activity is digging deep. So how about you exhume some truths or perceived truths about yourself in the weeks ahead? Treat your own heart as an archeological excavation.
Where and when do you let critique disable creativity? Stop killing things before they have a chance to become something worthwhile. What do you need? Where were those needs born? Reciprocity is a divine rhythm; give yourself permission to give and to get.
