Cancer Season 2024 Cosmic Style Guide
Embody the zodiac's moonchild archetype and embrace your tidal strength
Welcome to your Cosmic Style Guide for Cancer Season!
No matter where Cancer lands in your chart (or the planets you may or may not have there) when the sun is here, you have the opportunity to work with its magic in your own unique way.
Let’s dive into Cancer Season!
Cancer is the first Water sign of the zodiac. As a cardinal (initiatory) sign, Cancer begins a new season (summer in the Northern Hemisphere and winter in the Southern) and is connected to the ways we feel our inner tides and how they motivate us to take action in the world.

In contrast to the previous sign of Gemini, Cancer is ready to commit, get cozy, and get real about our vulnerabilities.
Gemini taught us to take our curiosity seriously and in Cancer, if we can start to explore our inner waves and rip tides with a playful interest (rather than denial, annoyance, or frustration), we can create the secure environment we crave — internally and externally
🦀 Represented by the crab, Cancer carries their home with them wherever they go. They only break out the pincers in service of protecting a soft and sweet inner world.
Cancer season is a great time to reparent yourself. Give yourself the kind of exquisite care and nourishment that creates the capacity to give the same to others.
In Moon-ruled Cancer, we’re asked to engage our bodies, our natural cycles, and our inner most needs and wants.
This nurturing archetype knows that providing care in a sustainable way requires sustenance and substantial support.
Cancer Season To Dos:
Listen to your body. Let yourself feel the spectrum of emotions and sensations that move through you on a daily (or even hourly) basis.
Embrace your emotional intelligence. We’ve all got it. This connective water sign can put the spotlight on how it shows up for us.
Hot tip: Look up the house that Cancer occupies in your chart to see one of the main areas of life your emotional intelligence comes through.Notice your cycles. While the moods of Cancer can seemingly come out of nowhere, they’re actually quite cyclical and we can notice them on the horizon via circumstances, events, and/or bodily signals. These cycles are necessary and never a problem when we embrace them.
Feel your feelings. Emotions are energy in motion. Move them through your body and move on.
Create sanctuaries within your home or living space. Arrange and fortify cushy places to land and recharge.
Create space for intuition to come through. Via rituals, routines, and spaces (see above).
Cancer Season Astro Overview:
Sun in Cancer from June 20-July 22, 2024
June 21: Full Moon in Capricorn (Part One) at 1° - This echos back to the first new moon of the year on 1/11. Reflect on what’s grown and come to fruition since then and what’s yet to develop. Use the powers of Capricorn to make a plan, set up necessary structures and containers, and take charge of your growth and happiness.
June 29: Saturn Stations Retrograde at 19° of Pisces - The planet of boundaries, restriction, and hard work is doubling down on difficulties to help us learn and grow — especially in the realms of our spiritually, connectivity, and artistic expression.
July 2: Mercury moves into Leo - Add some extra flair, drama, and excitement to your communications and mental frameworks. Make it fun, make it playful, make it creative.
July 5: New Moon in Cancer at 14° - Come home to yourself. Take some time to reflect on how you can renew your commitment to your softness. Where do you want to make a shift in the way you engage with your feelings, intuition, and self-care?
July 11: Venus enters Leo - She’s giving disco flair, rom com main character, fabulous, glamorous, expressive energy. This is a great time to reflect on and reclaim your Venus retrograde story from last summer.
July 21: Full Moon in Capricorn (Part Deux!) at 29° - We don’t usually get two full moons in the same sign, so this is an extra special dose of Cap energy that says: Be your own zaddy. Take responsibility. Take care of yourself. Take care of your people and commitments. Be generous with your conscientiousness and strength.
