Cancer season begins with a quiet week. Sunday is the summer solstice and longest day of the year, and the sun slips out of Gemini and into the crab’s nautical abode.
In Cancer, the sun is at the whim of the moon. The moon shifts signs faster than any other celestial body and so there is a natural emotional turbulence to Cancer season. The steady solar focus takes cues for a month from the lunar forces—embodiment, intuition, biological cycles. New and full moons also have more of an effect during Cancer season, so pay special attention to the Capricorn full moon on June 29 and the Cancer new moon on July 14.
Mercury is also in Cancer, slowing down in preparation for next week’s retrograde, so expect mercurial topics to slow as well. These might include returning texts, making plans, communicating effectively and technology working as intended.
Thursday sees a supportive connection between Venus in Leo and Saturn in Aries. These two in fire signs move passionately forward together, forcing topics through any mercurial standstills. This is a true make-it-happen alignment that gives you the impetus to make significant progress before things slow down next week.
