Have you ever heard people refer to “Cancer Season” but not been sure what it means?
Well, Cancer season starts when the sun moves into Cancer and a number of other personal planets join it during the month-long transit of the sun through Cancer.
Cancer is a water sign and brings a nurturing and sensitive energy but it can also be over-protective, defensive, and passive-aggressive.
Dates:
June 21st-July 22nd
Ruled by:
The Moon
Ruling house:
4th – Home & Family
Best things to focus on during Cancer Season:
Take a little time out to tune into your intuition, fill up your cup, and make sure you are aligned to the goals you set, earthed, and communicated over the last 3 months.
Personal Planets in Cancer:
Mercury -18th June- 2nd July 2024
Mercury has moved into Cancer and brings a sentimental, sensitive, and intuitive approach to communications.

It’s a great time to connect with clients, especially if you are a coach or other nurturing professional, as you can harness an intuitive, sincere and nurturing communication style.
