Cancer Season features the summer solstice, which must be the most welcomed astronomical high-point of the year. The Sun is at its zenith in the sky on this longest day of the year. Every year at around June 21, the Sun hits the astrological point of 0º Cancer, signalling the first official day of Summer.
With all that extra light, Cancerians should carry a ton of ‘shiny happy people’ energy around with them. But do they…? After all, the moody Moon rules Cancer, not the Sun! Cancer has a full moon type of energy where the Sun illuminates the Moon to its brightest and whitest. Cancer is also a cardinal sign, so it is a natural leader and surprising bossy. Cardinal Cancer is the Queen Bee and matriarch, a full moon on steroids if you like. The bright Sun may be cheerful, but it can also burn!
Cancer Season Meaning
But what does Cancer season mean in general, and how can we work best with the Cancerian energy? I scooted around the internet to look at what the consensus was about Cancer season. Most of it was all ‘get cosy’, ‘snuggle up’ and ‘put family first. Yes, I would agree this is an excellent time to go to the seaside with the family and give each other a ton of cuddles.
