As the sun approaches Cancer, you may notice an emotional and energetic shift that feels quite different from its preceding season, Gemini. While Gemini season is all about cerebral activity and exploration, Cancer season brings a ton of emotional energy. Cancer season begins on June 21 and continues to July 22. Get ready to feel, because emotional Cancer energy is all around.
Your Emotions May Be Supercharged
Cancer is a water sign, which packs a ton of emotional energy. You may have heard that Cancers can be quite emotional, but even the least emotional of all zodiac signs will notice shifts in emotional energy during Cancer season. So even if you're an unemotional air sign, chances are that during Cancer season, your feelings will be on high alert. When emotions arise, sit with them, greet them with curiosity, and allow yourself to feel without wallowing.
You'll Feel More Reflective
Cancer's ruling planet is the Moon, which brings lots of reflective energy. So, during Cancer season, you may be more likely to reflect on issues that you need to resolve. This is a great time to do shadow work and explore buried issues, as the energy of the season supports your ability to do so now.
You May Notice You're More Intuitive
Another aspect of the Moon's influence during Cancer season is heightened intuition. Pay attention to your hunches and try to act on them. You are more intuitive than you believe, and Cancer season is a great time to discover what your intuition looks and feels like so you can trust it more moving forward.

Home & Hearth Come to the Forefront
With all the stirring up of emotions, your family relationships are thrust into the spotlight. It's time to mend any broken relationships or at least reach out and attempt to reconcile those emotional connections. Cancer season also places emphasis on your home life. If things aren't how you want them to be, now is the season to make the necessary changes, so your home is a retreat that nurtures you and your family.
You'll Be Feeling Extra Creative
If you've been longing for some more creativity in your life, Cancer season is a great time to engage in a new creative pursuit. Creativity and self-expression allow you to explore your inner depths through activities like art, writing, movement, music, or any other form of creativity that appeals to you.
Your Empathy Will Be at an All-Time High
Cancers are highly empathetic, and when the sun is in Cancer, no zodiac sign is exempt from feeling empathy for others. You may find yourself more in tune with other people or much more upset by someone else's difficulties or overjoyed by their successes than you normally would be, thanks to the influence of Cancer this month.
It's a Great Time to Overcome Obstacles
The cardinal nature of Cancer season means you're filled with strong initiating energy that gives you the wherewithal to face life's obstacles. You'll have plenty of opportunities to do that this month, as the obstacles you need to overcome will make themselves known. Lean into the strong cardinal energy and solve some issues that've been bugging you for a long time. Now is absolutely the time to do it.
You May Feel Oddly Nostalgic
Even if you're the least sentimental person on the planet, during Cancer season, nostalgia rears its bittersweet head. It's a great opportunity to appreciate all that you've had, reconnect with relationships you've let fall by the wayside, and look back at where you came from to get to where you are now.

Take Some Time for Self-Nurturing
Cancer energy is always deeply nurturing energy, and what better place to direct that energy than towards yourself? Engage in self-care activities, get lots of rest, write your feelings in a journal, and just care for yourself deeply. If you do, you can emerge from Cancer season in a better emotional state than you've noticed in a long time.
The Opportunities of Cancer Season
While the Cancer season gives you strong emotions, it also offers a slowing down from the hyperactivity of the Gemini season. This respite and inner perspective can help you find kinder, gentler ways to care for yourself.
