Cancer Season June 2024 Astrology

The days are long and hot and the nights are cool and short. Yes, it’s finally summer! The Sun enters Cancer on June 20 this year, which is also the summer solstice. After a thrilling, fast-paced Gemini season, it’s time to retreat and recharge your batteries. Water signs Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces are thriving the most right now, while cardinal signs Aries, Libra, and Capricorn, may start off this Cancer season feeling a bit crabby. (Get it?)

No matter your own zodiac sign, Cancer season’s influence causes you to feel deeply. Happiness, sadness, anger, excitement—all emotions, easy or tough, are more intense right now. Your moods are flowing in and out, always moving, like the ocean tide. On one hand, this allows you to feel more romance, experience more meaningful relationships, connect with your emotions, and become more familiar with your inner self. But on the other hand, this heightened sensitivity means that a small argument or pissed-off moment can easily become a big fight. Seeing something that reminds you of someone you’re not friends with anymore, or an old family member who passed away, may cause you to feel immense sadness. My advice: Try to turn these “tough” emotions into something more productive. Anger can become motivation to stand up for yourself. Nostalgia can help you focus on positive memories from the past.

Think of the movie Inside Out—all of the little feelings-people living in your head have really loud voices right now. Don’t ignore them! Let yourself feel what you feel, and then let your emotions motivate you to make changes in your life. However, this isn’t the best time for going out, making new friends, or initiating new projects. You’re feeling much more introverted now, and you’re a total homebody. This is a better time to focus on the people you have history with. Connect with your family—family of origin or chosen family—and work on strengthening those relationships this Cancer season. Good luck and happy summer!

This Cancer season, you’re turning into a big softie. As an earth sign, you're not exactly used to dealing with your feelings, but it's happening more easily now. This is a seamless process of opening up and expressing your emotions. If you’re feeling strongly about something, you’re able to start a conversation about it without hesitation. You’re more receptive to others' thoughts, ideas, and feelings, and this can be a time of immense learning—learning more about your own inner self, while also experiencing a stronger sense of understanding how other people feel.

Gemini

Your birthday party is over and now it’s time to get serious. You spent the past month meeting new people, going to new places, and trying new things, and now you’re being urged to sit and think about which of these things actually have a chance at staying in your life. Which people or experiences truly matter to you, and how can you invite them to be a further part of your life? Commitment is scary, but think of all the great things you can experience by keeping these wonderful new things around for a while. PS: Your job is also becoming a bigger focus of your life right now, so expect a higher workload to come in soon.

Happy birthday! The world is your oyster right now, and you’re fully in control. Think of what you’re passionate about. If it’s a relationship, now’s the time to focus on making it stronger and more secure. If it’s a job, this is the perfect time to give it your best shot and start working towards a promotion. If it’s a personal interest, this is when you can throw yourself into it and begin to truly master your craft. What do you want out of life, Cancer? Figure it out, then go out and get it!

HBD, Cancer!

Leo

You’re in full retreat mode right now, and the next month finds you experiencing a ton of alone time. New connections aren’t coming your way, and you shouldn’t expect many professional opportunities, either. This is a time to stop, take a breather, and look at your journey so far. There are people and things that don’t really have a place in your life anymore, and that’s becoming blatantly clear. Cut out the crappy people and dead-end projects. It can be tough, but you’ll want to be baggage-free once Leo season comes around, right?

Virgo

You are fully embracing your role as the “mom friend” this Cancer season. You’re spending tons of time with your crew and having a splendid time with them. If you’re making any new connections, you should treat them just as kindly because you’re more able to make friends in high places right now. It's who you know, not what you know, amirite? Your calendar is full and you’re staying busy, but you’re almost always doing something with a friend, so you're enjoying it!

All eyes are on you! Cancer season tends to give people a quieter, more passive vibe, but you need to take this month as a chance to break out of your shell and show off a little. There are projects or jobs that you’re very invested in, and now’s the time to bring it to completion. Put your best foot forward, perform well, and do your best to deliver flawless results. The better you do now, the better your rewards will be. This could easily be the month you get a promotion, a bonus, or some major positive recognition.

Sagittarius

Cancer season is thrusting you deep into your feelings. You value your independence more than anything, but you’re facing the reality that you do, in fact, have deep connections that influence your life. Money, relationships, and other forces outside of your control—time, death, etc.—are becoming a bigger focus now. You’re realizing that you’re not quite as independent as you think. This month, assess those things. How can you make it so they have a positive influence on your life? With money, now’s the time to think about saving, not spending. With relationships, you may feel the urge to break up, but this is a great time to become closer. Make peace with your feelings, even the ones you don’t really like. It’s a lot, I know, but this is a necessary time of introspection and self-reflection.

Capricorn

Cancer is your opposite sign. It occupies your chart’s 7th House, which governs relationships. That means that Cancer season = cuffing season for your sign. The next month finds you focusing on all your “B” relationships—your bestie, your boo, business partners, and people you have beef with. How do these relationships make you feel? How can you maximize on the positives and find solutions to the negatives? This is a time to establish new partnerships and stabilize your already-existing relationships. Take on the world with a “partner in crime,” whether that’s a friend or a lover.

Gone are the days of lazing around the house, keeping dishes in the sink for weeks at a time, and being late to everything! Set healthy habits now, and they promise to stick around for a long time.

This next month finds you, like every other sign, feeling more emotional. However, your sign is pretty lucky. Cancer season activates your chart’s zone of romance, sex, and fun, so this is a time of finding love, having a blast in bed, and experiencing all kinds of excitement! You’re also experiencing a stronger sense of creativity, and getting in touch with and healing ~your inner child~. This is a great opportunity to find love—for yourself and others—and figure out how to keep it in your life for a long time.
