Read your horoscope for the Sun in Cancer
Emotional EQ season
As the Sun moves into Cancer from June 21st until July 22nd, a beam of light illuminates our deepest feelings and inner child wish lists. So go ahead and buy those streamers for your bike or bring back the butterfly clips of your youth. Cancer is ruled by the ever-changing Moon, and our emotions are held in this sign’s tide pool for our examination. We’re not afraid to act on them either during the Sun’s plunge through Cancer. From reparenting your inner emo kid to bringing gluten free cookies to the staff meeting, the ways that you give and receive care will be the focus of this season.
Cancer’s superpower is its intuition: the ability to read the subtle undercurrents in any room, conversation, or text message. Go ahead and put out your feelers into every situation and let your gut have the final say. Cancer is the sign that asks, “no, but how are you, really?” — piercing through idle chit-chat and superficial facades to get to the emotional truth. During Cancer season, acts such as being moved to tears by a perfume commercial or reading your bestie’s emotional status by three milliseconds of body language are par for the course. Just don’t leave your extra sensitive beloveds on read, whatever you do.
Again, but with feeling
The Full Moon in Capricorn on July 3rd brings its radiant light to areas of your life where more structure is needed. It unveils the boundaries that can support our sense of safety. Like the coral reefs that provide shelter for endless fish and organisms, this lunation shines a light on the containers that will hold the tender explorations of this season. Whether it’s the safe harbor of a trusty journal, a therapist’s couch, or a daily roster of somatic practices to regulate your nervous system — be your own compassionate caregiver.
Two weeks later, the New Moon in Cancer on July 17th encourages you to plant the seeds of your passion projects, self-care practices, and initiatives of community care. Make sure that your heart is in everything that you launch at this time. Writing a list of intentions and noticing how you feel as you speak them aloud will help you hone in on the winners.
If some of your deeper needs have been neglected in the carousel of life recently, be proactive in tending to them in the coming weeks. It can be easy to get lost as you support loved ones through their kitchen sink dramas, but your own TLC should always be your first port of call. Or at least give yourself permission to send your supportive audio memos from the cocoon of your fluffiest duvet.
