Cancer Season 🦀 Summer Solstice 2024

June 20 (Summer Solstice) – July 22, 2024

Your sun sign is just one planet in your star soup. Curious about the rest? Contact me for a natal chart reading!

Every year Cancer season begins on the summer solstice. Can you feel it? Gemini’s wind giving way to Cancer’s sweet rain? Mercurial Gemini sinks below, the ocean rises.

Cancer is ruled by the moon. Every day the moon rises at a different time and place with a different shape and color. The crab, too, shifts from day to day, moment to moment.

Cancer nurtures all forms of life. She is tender, nostalgic, forever yearning for the sweetness of the past, of home and childhood.

Take a walk down memory lane. Revisit your roots. Cancer needs her family, or friends who feel like family. Home, roots, and family clarify like a compass.

The crab must surrender to the tides of her heart with total abandon. These tides are not always calm. Cancer absorbs everything around her until she is turbid, agitated, and irrational.

Recharge. Reset. Breathe.

You’ll know what to do.

This year the summer solstice comes just two hours after a last-minute square between the Sun in Gemini and Neptune in Pisces. I almost drowned in the Gulf of México during this square last year. It is extremely powerful. Vices and water swirl together into a cosmic whirlpool. Endings and beginnings blur into one.
