June 21 is the day we say goodbye to spring and hello to summer. We’ll be celebrating the sun’s planetary ingress into the zodiac sign Cancer. For the next month, the weather won’t be the only thing rising — our hearts will be full of love. Our emotions and innermost sentiments are evolving and maturing from June 21 to July 22, as we bring it back to our familial bonds and roots. Throughout the next few weeks, we will find many ways to embrace and honor our closet connections by giving lots of tenderness and kindness to those we care about.

As the first water sign of the zodiac, Cancers (aka the crab) are known to be the nurturers, caregivers, and bosses of astrology. They can give their all to others by extending an open ear and shoulder to cry on, as well as hustling hard to make money. This Cancer season, nothing will stand in our way of attaining greatness. Like the waves of the ocean, we’ll continue to ebb and flow with the changes that come our way: we are resilient beings.
Since their planetary ruler is the moon, Cancers are extremely protective of their brood — even going as far as pinching others in an effort to not let go of those they adore and to hold on to them. That’s the love language we’ll all be exhibiting. Rather than breaking up or moving on, we are going to give relationships the chance to flourish by being close and protective of loved ones. The past is important and plays an important role in where we are headed — so call your family and close friends to reminisce. Share some laughs and memories with your nearest and dearest. Or, plan a party to reconnect with friends that you’ve lost touch with.
Crabs walk side-to-side and never in a forward march, which means that the way we choose to do things at this time may not be logical or make any rational sense. This is why crabs are super imaginative and inventive. They are always thinking about original ways to deepen their gifts — we can do the same in our lives, too, if we take a note from the crustacean. Doing activities and projects that display our personal aesthetic at our own pace is essential. Our endeavors will have a creative stamp like none other because our intuition is going to take charge and push our artistry to new heights.

Cancer Season 2023 is going to bring transformation on many levels that are an important part of our evolution and destiny. Therefore, it’s necessary to see where the tides of change take us. Our sense of security might be tested — but we don’t have to give up anything that’s important to us — we just have to evolve the relationship we have with people and possessions.
