Cancer season marks the most welcome astronomical high point of the year: the summer solstice. On this, the longest day of the year, the sun is at its zenith in the sky. Around June 21 each year, the sun reaches the astrological 0 degree mark of Cancer, heralding the first official day of summer.
Cancerians, thanks to that extra light, ‘Shining happy people’ Cancer has a full moon-like energy, where the temperamental moon rules, not the sun. Cancer has a full moon-like energy, where the sun shines the moon at its brightest and whitest. Because Cancer is also a cardinal sign, they are natural born leaders and can be surprisingly bossy. Cardinal Cancers are queen bees, matriarchs, and full moons on steroids, so to speak. The bright sun may be jolly, but it can also flare up.
The Meaning of Cancer Season
But what does Cancer season mean in general, and how can we best navigate Cancer energy? I scoured the internet for opinions on Cancer season, and most of the responses were along the lines of “get cozy,” “cuddle,” and “put family first.” I agree that it’s a great time to go to the beach with your family and give each other lots of cuddles.
