Your Cancer Season Horoscope: Enjoying the Simple Life

On June 21, the summer solstice—the longest, lightest day of the year—and Cancer season come to play. This is a time of abundant sunshine and hours spent poolside or oceanside (perhaps sipping one of our amazing summer solstice cocktails), rooting for our favorite baseball team, soaking up temperate breezes and rosy sunsets well into the evening, or enjoying family or friends’ company on vacation or close to home. It makes sense that a season marked by joyful time with loved ones, an urge to spend time close to the nearest body of water, and perhaps a sense of sentimentality also occurs at the same time the sun moves through this heartfelt sign.

When Are Cancer Season Dates?

From June 21 to July 22, the sun moves through the cardinal water sign Cancer, ruler of the fourth house and the realm of all things domestic—home, family, real estate—and your emotional roots.

What Are Typical Cancer Characteristics and How Do They Affect Cancer Season?

While Cancers are known for their sensitive and compassionate nature, they also tend to have an artistic side to them. As the cardinal one of the water group, they can be go-getters with colorful imaginations who frequently dream up artistic, big picture ideas. Although Cancers have a tendency to wear their hearts on their sleeves, they can also get crabby, and when this happens, they’ll shy away from socializing and go “into their shell” in order to process their deepest emotions.  They’re naturally funny, their sense of humor a perfect blend of goofy, offbeat, and witty, and they tend to be observational comedians who make on-point, entertaining commentary on real life situations.

Cancer is ruled by the moon—which oversees all things related to emotions, intuition, instincts, and sense of safety. So there’s no question why Cancer season has a super emotional undertone to it. These energies tend to promote bond-building with relatives, heartwarming romance, time spent close to home, and the ability to find humor in everyday life.

Sentimental and sweet, it’s unsurprising that Cancer season brings to mind summer love, snuggling under a full moon, and enjoying the simple, beautiful pleasures of life and relationships. That said, Cancer season can light up your desire to express yourself creatively and romantically.

Here’s what each sign should focus on this season to have a downright magical start to the summer. (Be sure to read your rising sign, too!)
