What Each Cancer Placement Needs To Hear For Cancer Season, According To Tarot

Our tarot reader reveals what each Cancer placement needs to hear for this Cancer Season.

Sun in Cancer: Nine of Cups. 

Being able to share what you enjoy with those you love is part of your love language, and for those you love you’ve developed a sixth sense that alerts you to their needs. 

Also known as the wish fulfillment card, the Nine of Cups indicates you are feeling fulfilled and like you are in your abundance era. The one drawback to this highly positive card is that you may hold back on feelings of complete satisfaction until you are able to share that bounty with others. What you really need to understand is that you are allowed to hold joy, even if it’s just for yourself. It’s ok if you want to enjoy the moments where your dreams come true.

Moon in Cancer: King of Pentacles, Reversed

You’re deeply empathetic and enjoy creating bonds with others by nurturing them and helping to create a general sense of security and stability. 

The King of Pentacles reversed hints that you’re feeling blocked or incapable of creating that sense of security and stability in a material sense. A sense of security isn’t just gained through material things, it’s also a state of mind. Don’t get too caught up in just the one realm, and instead consider how you can cultivate that mindset. Understand that you have the capacity and talent to manifest anything you want, if you can get out of your own way.

Ascendant / Rising Sign in Cancer: Nine of Swords, Reversed

Your love language is steeped in your ability to sympathize with and observe those you care about. You know their comfort media and how they take their coffee. You find their foibles endearing and know their favorite colors. Your attentiveness to their needs and preferences is near-divine. 

The Nine of Swords, Reversed shows that you may have been dealing with a spate of depression recently, and as you emerge from that time you’re reassessing some of the fears you had constructed. Swords are about the mind, and in this case, you are recovering from the mind turned against itself. This is an important time of soul-searching and truth-seeking. Be selective as to which thoughts you invite into your new mindset. 

Mercury in Cancer: Wheel of Fortune

Attuned to others, your communication is fueled by compassion and starts from your heart, which means you are easily able to connect with people’s emotions when communicating.

The Wheel of Fortune is a way to be reminded that there are moments where fate is going to guide us, and when those moments come the changes can be sudden. While it may feel like you can just leave things up to luck, it’s important that you know that good luck is the most useful when it coincides with hard work and preparation.

Venus in Cancer: Eight of Wands

Caring and careful, you are supportive of your partner in every way you can be (and you are always on the lookout for new ways!). You spend a lot of your time trying to be tuned into their needs so you can delight in their response when you can meet them. Responsive and caring, the only issue with this placement is a tendency to veer into the overprotective, and assume everything is a threat to your relationship. 

The Eight of Wands is a card of a lot of energy, and indicates that things aren’t just moving – they’re moving at an extremely rapid pace. Things are moving so quickly this card has come to be associated with air travel. What areas of your life would this kind of energy be the most successful?

Mars in Cancer: King of Cups, Reversed

You may have issues in asserting yourself, and may also not be able to express your anger until it’s overflowing. You understand what it takes to soothe a psyche, be mindful that you aren’t repressing some of your darker feelings, only allowing them to fester. 

The King of Cup, Reversed means the message that you really need to hear is going to address the importance of your own emotional health. While you have no problems in looking after others and allowing yourself to ‘wait until things improve,’ in doing so you’re actually cutting people off from the beautiful truth of who you are. Reconsider what you are repressing, and give yourself permission to release the feelings that no longer serve you.

Jupiter in Cancer: Eight of Pentacles, Reversed

You have a lot of compassion, and your optimism can be both infectious and powerful. This combination can mean that people are drawn to you. Be careful of how much you take on.

Burn out is very real, and the Eight of Pentacles is a sign that you’re probably working far too hard. The thing that makes you so lovable is who you are, not what you can do for people. Take a step back and reconsider how you are spending your time, and see if you can align your time spent with what you most value.

Saturn in Cancer: Six of Cups

Saturn is ‘in detriment’ when it’s in Cancer which is an uncomfortable sign for the planet so concerned with boundaries to be. You may feel as though you’re oscillating between emotional overload or an emotional wasteland. Be as generous with yourself as you would be with others. 

The Six of Cups appears as a reminder to you that you should treasure and value the past. If you’ve had trouble reconciling some of your past with the you that you want to be. Who you were helped to build who you are, and will have a say in who you will become. Treasuring the lessons you learned from the past doesn’t require that you mentally live there.

Chiron in Cancer: The Hermit

The feelings evoked from your prior experiences have become your most prized teachers. Your early life may have been marked with neglect or even abuse, but you’ve used those wounds to cultivate a substantial amount of empathy and compassion. 

The Hermit tells us when we need to spend some time away from others. There are some thoughts that can only be had in solitude, and some feelings should only be processed there as well. It’s not selfish for you to take time to yourself to do the big work you feel you need to do. 

Uranus in Cancer: The Magician, Reversed

There’s a high likelihood you’re the black sheep in your family, as Uranus is a planet of change of upheaval, and Cancer is focused on family and tradition. You enjoy challenging conventions on a variety of topics, and do so in such a way that you’re as inclusive and compassionate as possible to all of those around you. 

The Magician, Reversed is an indicator that you may be feeling some issues around manifesting what you want to see in the world. There’s a misalignment of resources or maybe in the way you are spending your energy. You may feel indecisive, and that lack of confidence makes creating what you want impossible. What you need to hear, more than anything, is that right here and right now, you are enough. 

Neptune in Cancer: Six of Swords, Reversed

Neptune was last in Cancer in 2015, but this placement means there’s a likelihood of a high amount of compassion, empathy, intuition, and possibly other psychic abilities as well. 

The Six of Swords, Reversed that was drawn for them is a card of transition, of learning how to let go and move forward to the next phase. 

Pluto in Cancer: King of Swords, Reversed

Between 1915 and 1938, Pluto was in Cancer. People (or other entites!) with this placement can wrestle with deep feelings of insecurity, and sometimes literally have mental issues and blocks about food security (and other forms of nourishment). The transformations people with these placements have undergone had the capability of leading them towards deep compassion or aloofness. The King of Swords, reversed is an indication that all is not what they think it is.
