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:

Best things to focus on in your business during Cancer Season:

Cancer Season invites a pause—a sacred moment to come home to your business.
Take a little time out to reconnect with your intuition, refill your creative well, and realign with the goals you seeded, grounded, and shared over the past three months.

Use this season to check in with the foundations of your business:

• Do they feel strong, stable, and supportive?
• Or is it time to fortify, rework, or lovingly tend to the structures beneath your success?

This is your mid-year reset—a chance to nurture your business from the roots up.

Personal Planets in Cancer:

Mercury – 9th-26th June 2025

Mercury will only spend a short time in Cancer during Cancer season and brings a sentimental, sensitive, and intuitive approach to communications.

The best way to harness Mercury’s energy in Cancer is to tune into your feelings but allow them to settle before communicating them; otherwise, you may find yourself being overly emotional in the moment.

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.

Ways to harness Mercury in Cancer

• Make decisions with both your head and your heart. Your intuition will be heightened, allowing you to understand and respond to your clients’ and team’s unspoken needs and feelings. Consider the emotional impact on all stakeholders and strive for solutions that honor everyone’s well-being.
• Practice active listening with empathy. Show your clients and colleagues that you genuinely hear and value their perspectives.
• Craft your messages with a personal touch. Let your authenticity shine through, whether it’s emails, social media posts, or marketing materials. Share stories and insights that resonate on an emotional level.
• Create a supportive and nurturing communication environment. Encourage open and honest dialogue within your team and with your clients.

In my business chart, Cancer spans most of the 11th house—governing goals, legacy, and community—and also rules the 12th house, the realm of rest, retreat, and hidden gifts.

Cancer Season is therefore a powerful time for me to deepen connection with my community, nurture long-term visions, and honour the sacred balance between visibility and restoration.

It’s often a potent window for pausing, especially in late July and early August, to replenish and realign behind the scenes.
