Cancer Season is rapidly approaching, and it will coincide with the Summer Solstice on June 21st. This will make it a truly unique cosmic event.
The zodiac calendar makes sense in some ways. We float into hectic Gemini season, where our social calendars are full to overflowing, just as we might be feeling a little isolated at the tail end of chill Taurus season. Then comes sentimental, intuitive Cancer season, when we can actually deepen some of the connections we spent the previous month reigniting or creating.
Cancer, the cardinal water sign, is all about getting in touch with your emotions and bonding with those closest to you. It is ruled by the moon, which serves as the emotional compass of astrology. It’s no surprise that this is a time when we’re especially focused on spending time with loved ones, whether we’re going deep during summery getaways or watching a glistening fireworks display.
You may be more of a homebody while the sun is in Cancer — emotional, wistful, and nurturing. Whether you stay in or go out, this is a time of year that has the potential to truly bring us closer to our loved ones, as well as help you tune into your own emotions (a key trait of Cancer sun signs everywhere). Here’s everything you need to know about the 2023 Cancer season.
When Is Cancer Season?
Cancer season begins on June 21 and ends on July 22, 2023, when the sun enters Leo. Cancer, the fourth sign of the zodiac and ruler of the fourth house of home, can bring your attention back to your roots and inner life. With the sun shining brightly and temperatures rising, beach days and summer travel may be in full swing, but we may be happiest when we can spend quality time nesting with the people we love and who love us.
Cancer Season: What to Expect in 2023
With Saturn retrograde in Taurus beginning on June 17, this Cancer season 2023 could be challenging and even disorienting. Saturn is a planet of boundaries, limitations, and commitment, and when it goes retrograde, it asks you to look inward and rethink — and rework — some of your core beliefs in life. During Cancer Awareness Month, this may suggest being honest with yourself about the types of friendships you value or the type of friend you are to your loved ones.
It’s a season that will undoubtedly provide numerous opportunities for growth and bonding with the special people in your life. Here’s what each zodiac sign can expect.
Aries (March 20-April 19)
You’re usually all about going on a whim, hitting the road, getting in some intense workout, or signing up for a half-marathon with friends. However, Aries, the sun is in your fourth house of home life this Cancer season, which can bring out your inner couch potato. Yes, truly. You should stick to binge-watching your new streaming obsession with your SO or loved ones, and perhaps even plan a staycation.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Cancer season is all about gathering information for you, Taurus, because the sun will be transiting your third house of communication. Even if you aren’t actively seeking information, you will be spending more time than usual with friends and colleagues. Furthermore, you can anticipate engaging in highly animated conversations that may lead to creative, collaborative ideas and projects.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Because the sun is in your second house of income during Cancer season, your attention is drawn to your bank account. You’ll feel confident taking on new money-making opportunities, advancing your current game plan, and possibly even going to bat for a raise or more responsibility.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Cancer, welcome to your season! With the sun transiting your first house of self, you may be ready to make major power moves to further your long-term goals. Because your personal brand will be at the forefront of your mind, you may feel empowered to take steps to improve your self-presentation, such as refreshing your wardrobe with a personal styling session or experimenting with a new skin care routine.
Leo (July 23-August 22)
Though you’re usually very active, this could be a low-key season for you, Leo, because the sun, which rules your sign, is transiting through your 12th house of spirituality. Planets pass through this zone on their way to your ascendant/rising sign and first house of self, so it’s like being backstage before the big show. It’s time to reflect on yourself and figure out what you want to accomplish when it’s your turn to shine.
Virgo (August 23-September 22)
Prepare to become more social, Virgo. Although Gemini season has you focused on your professional goals, Cancer season may turn a solo or one-on-one endeavor into a group effort. This is due to the sun’s transit through your 11th house of friendship and networking, which increases your desire — and ability — to collaborate with others to complete projects close to your heart.
Libra (September 23-October 22)
Because your 10th house of career is activated now, Cancer season can amp up the intensity of your ambition, Libra. If you’ve been wanting to take on a more senior role, pitch an exciting client, or schedule a meeting with a higher-up to discuss your long-term vision, these four weeks could be a great time to do so. It’s finally time to assert your authority.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21)
Cancer season is all about breaking out of your routine, which can be exciting but also terrifying for a creature of habit like you. During this time, the sun moves through your ninth house of adventure and higher learning, which may lead to you venturing into uncharted territory, whether through an online class or a long-distance trip. In either case, you’ll have the assurance to make the experience truly rewarding.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21)
As a free-spirited adventurer, you’d rather act than drown in your emotions, especially your deepest ones. However, Cancer season will make it difficult for you to do so because the sun is transiting your eighth house of emotional bonds. This is the time to connect on a more personal level with your partner or loved ones.
Capricorn (December 22-January 19)
Because the sun is moving through your seventh house of partnership, Cancer season shines a spotlight on your key one-on-one relationships, whether romantic, platonic, or professional. Whether you and your partner are working toward a common goal or planning a business proposal with a colleague, working as a pair will give you more confidence and self-assurance.
Aquarius (January 20-February 18)
Keeping up your daily hustle and crossing off all your must-dos (like dentist appointments) and wants-to-dos (like that new yoga class) may feel less stressful now, thanks to the sun transiting your sixth house of wellness and daily routine, Aquarius. You’ll be more focused and determined to achieve schedule balance.
Pisces (February 19-March 20)
Because the sun is in your fifth house of romance, play, and creativity, Cancer season can be one of the most heartfelt and creative times of the year for you, Pisces. The more deeply felt emotions you can express through your favorite artistic outlet or heartfelt texts to your best friends, the lighter, airier, and more connected you’ll feel.
