Time to stock up on sunscreen (and tissues). 😊
I hope you finished your spring cleaning because summer is here and things are getting started with a bang.
While the last few months have been eventful to say the least, things don’t really get wild until the sun enters the cardinal water sign of Cancer on June 21. This season, as the first water sign of the zodiac, is all about reconnecting you with the emotional needs you’ve had since birth. And, despite how fleeting it may be, you will actively seek comfort, stability, and security in your endeavors this season. So, if the versatile energy of Gemini season has you feeling distracted and overstimulated, don’t worry — your summer solstice 2023 horoscope is directing you toward your most pressing desires just in time for hot girl summer.
Cancer season, as the moon-ruled sign of the zodiac, is a time to not only connect with your feelings, but also to consider what you need to feel content and at home. Because the moon is the goddess of the sky, her primary role is to shed light on the aspects of ourselves that are often overlooked or neglected. Although stereotypes of this sign emphasize its weepy, sentimental side, this season is more about tuning in to what you need to feel safe — and what those around you need, too. On June 21, when the sun exits the chatty, multifaceted sign of Gemini, everyone will be called to redirect their attention to the areas of their lives that require the most care, comfort, and protection. While this may not sound exciting, the cardinal energy of Cancer is intensely focused on action, but these pursuits will be fueled primarily by your ever-changing wants and needs.
When Is The Summer Solstice?
The sun will enter Cancer at 10:54 a.m. EST on June 21, officially beginning the summer solstice. In astrology, each of the four cardinal signs marks the beginning of a new season (Aries marks the spring equinox, Cancer marks the summer solstice, Libra marks the fall equinox, and Capricorn marks the winter solstice). The sun is at its highest point in the sky at this time of year, resulting in longer days and shorter nights. Because solstice energy is associated with initiation, action, and pursuit, you’ll feel compelled to get things moving during this season, particularly in the Cancer-house of your birth chart.
Here’s how every zodiac sign will be affected by the summer solstice:
Aries Zodiac Signs (March 21-April 19)
The sun will enter your fourth house of home and family on June 21, illuminating your desire for familiarity and comfort in your natural environment. Although this season contradicts your independent and assertive personality, it is an excellent time to recharge your batteries behind closed doors. Consider what you require to feel most at ease at home this month, Aries. It could be as simple as spending time with a relative or choosing home-cooked meals over takeout. Anything that allows you to tap into the support that your environment has to offer.
Taurus Zodiac Signs (April 20-May 20)
This month, as the summer solstice approaches, you’ll seek emotional fulfillment through your surroundings, interests, and studies. Taurus, this is a good time to lean into places and people who make you feel at ease. Visit your favorite local coffee shop, attend a community event, or re-read your favorite novel. Anything that brings you closer to familiar places or things that make you feel safe and prepared.
Gemini Zodiac Signs (May 21-June 21)
On June 21, the sun will enter Cancer, highlighting your desire for comfort and security in your money and resources. This is an excellent time to prioritize valuables that have sentimental value or provide emotional satisfaction. It’s also a good time to watch your spending, Gemini, because some of the purchases you make now may be motivated by fleeting emotions. However, as long as you’re not overly emotional, the majority of what you get now should bring nothing but warm, fuzzy feelings.
Cancer Zodiac Signs (June 22-July 22)
Cancer, it’s your season, which means you’ll feel more like yourself than ever. This month, as the sun moves through your first house, your need for emotional security and comfort will be highlighted.

They’ll be stronger than ever, believe me.
Leo Zodiac Signs (July 23-August 22)
On June 21, the sun (your astrological ruler) enters Cancer, emphasizing your desire to nurture yourself and your inner light behind closed doors.

This season, you’ll seek more emotional fulfillment through your friends and community, encouraging you to embrace your mom-friend tendencies. Although you will find fulfillment in this role, it is critical that you do not place so much emphasis on the needs of others that you neglect your own. Others may be calling on you more than usual this month, so set boundaries if necessary.
Libra Zodiac Signs (September 22-October 23)
As the sun moves through your 10th house during the summer solstice, your career and professional life will take center stage.

Sagittarius Zodiac Signs (November 22-December 21)
This month, as the summer solstice occurs, you will be called to support and nurture others. This season emphasizes the ways you require reciprocation and mutual effort as someone who is always eager to be generous to your loved ones.

Capricorn Zodiac Signs (December 22-January 19)
As the summer solstice approaches, you’ll be reflecting on your need for emotional support in your relationships. You’re hesitant to express your emotions outwardly as the disciplined, refined sign of the zodiac, but this season invites you to be vulnerable with those around you. Put your trust in a romantic partner or spend time with a sympathetic friend. Your relationships should provide you with a safe haven.
Aquarius Zodiac Signs (January 20-February 18)
