These 4 Zodiac Signs Will Thrive During Cancer Season

It’s summer, friends, and you know what that means—Cancer season is here!

On June 21st, Cancer season officially begins, signaling a time of intuition, sensitivity, and empathy until July 22. June 21st also marks the summer solstice (the longest day of the year and our initiation into summer), so there is much to celebrate.

Cancer is a sign most known for being sentimental, emotional, and deeply intuitive. This season can often stir up unresolved emotions, usher in waves of nostalgia, and leave our hearts on our sleeves. It can also encourage us to reflect more on our close relationships.

Speaking of reflection, Cancer season has plenty of it. With Jupiter and Pluto already in retrograde (and Neptune set to join at the end of June), there will be plenty of opportunities to reassess certain areas of our lives.

While all of the signs will have their personal experience with Cancer season, four zodiac signs will benefit the most. Check out the signs below (Sun and Rising!) to see which zodiac signs have the potential to thrive this Cancer season.

Cancer

Happy Birthday, Cancer! With the Sun in your sign, you feel empowered to be yourself. This may come with a desire to slow down and reflect (with Saturn, Pluto, and Neptune all in retrograde throughout most of your season), but this doesn’t spell doom and gloom. In fact, it could mean the opposite. This is a time to sit with your emotions and determine how you want to present yourself to those around you.

This season sets the stage for you to pay attention to your needs as much as you do to others’. You may feel things pretty intensely (but when isn’t that true, right?). By the season’s end, you’ll better grasp what you need in your relationships, including the one with yourself. 

Capricorn

This season is big for your relationships, Capricorn. While you may feel the urge to slow down in certain areas, this season still holds promise in navigating connections. With a New Moon in Cancer and a Full Moon in your sign occurring this season, it’s a great time to set intentions surrounding your personal relationships.

Cancer season may make you feel nostalgic, but it’s for a purpose—to help you remember that not everything in the past is terrible (even if you must move on from it). Ultimately, you’ll find the words to say what must be said — to either strengthen your bonds or walk away from those that might hold you back.

Libra

Cancer season is shining a spotlight on your career, Libra. As the Sun (and later Mercury) work through your 10th House of Career and Public Image, you may experience more attention in your work life than usual, which may feel intimidating. However, the reality is that you’re more prepared for it than you realize.

Don’t be afraid to step into new roles and responsibilities (just be careful not to be taken advantage of—sentimental Cancer still knows how to hold its strength). Though retrogrades may appear in other areas, remember that you don’t have to take on everything at once. You can pace yourself. You do your best work that way.

Pisces

With Cancer season showing up in your 5th House of Romance and Creativity, there is plenty of inspiration making its way to you. This season will ask you to slow down and reflect on certain areas (like your friendships and local community). However, the Sun and Mercury in Cancer will remind you that how you show love is valuable and worth reminiscing over. Just be sure to keep yourself in check, especially if past flames are in the mix.
