Cancer Season 2022 By: Erin The Urban Mermaid
June 22, 2022And so the journey of the Zodiac unfolds… We started in fiery Aries, moved into our bodies with Taurus, then shifted to our minds with Gemini and now, we go to the depths of our emotions with Cancer season.
Cancer season begins at some point during the day on June 21, 2022, also opening the Summer Solstice portal, and will be here until around July 22, 2022.
What can we expect during this watery, feely time…
Cancer, ruled by the Moon, is the 4th sign of the Zodiac. A Cardinal Water sign, Cancer leads with their emotions, they are the empath of the Zodiac. Together Cancer and the Moon rule the 4th house, the “House of Family”.
Cancer is the Mother of the Zodiac, the nurturer, the domestic diva, housewife and Goddess and of course, the Mama Bear of the Divine Feminines. She is at her best in her home which is her castle.
Most of us know Cancer as the crab, this is because the project a tough exterior but are soft deep within. They are also known to side step, much like a crab, when it comes to confrontation and accountability rather than face things head on.
Cancer is deep and reflective, they often revisit memories, the good and the bad, over and over again, being very nostalgic and melancholy. Learning to master the emotions and allow them to ebb and flow like the tides which are in sync with the Moon, is part of their life’s purpose.
Cancer is warm, empathetic, intuitive, can really read a crowd, sensitive, a secret community leader and motherly. But when out of alignment Cancer can let their emotions consume and drown them, be catty and mean, stuck in the past, lack self-accountability or responsibility, moody and cranky.
Will Cancer season have us coming out of our shells?
Learning to master and navigate our emotions will be a running theme for the next 30 days. How can we embody and own them, and elevate our emotional maturity, without allowing them to take us over?
- A skilled crab can face these uncertain waters!
- Living from our heart means now is time to focus on self-forgiveness, doing shadow work around the emotions we have trouble processing and understanding our vulnerability is our strength.
- It is also a wonderful time to focus on making our houses into homes and our homes into our castles. Our spaces should be honored as sacred, we have to treat them that way! You may find yourself in your kitchen a bit more, making homemade meals, hanging up photos of people you love and times you enjoyed with them and creating an all-around feeling of comfort and warmth.
When it comes to Cancer- MOTHER is on the menu. This can show up in several ways.
- How can you Mother yourself?
- What are the Mother wounds you need to work through?
- Where or how can you be a better Mother?
The subject of family also arises.
- Spend quality time with your family, repair old falling outs.
It is also a great time to work with your ancestors and connect to them as the Moon, which rules Cancer, is representative of our ancestral roots.
The shadows of Cancer can seem a bit heavier than other seasons.
- Number one: don’t be a moody B! If we allow Cancer season to do so, it can easily have us let our emotions get the best of us – or worse -other’s emotions get to us because we take them on much easier during this time.
- Discern your own emotions and feelings from others. We do not want to drown!
Also, Cancer is the homebody and it’s nice to spend time at home, but let’s not turn into shut-ins! Get out and get your dose of vitamin D!
And finally, while revisiting old memories has its time and place, do not find yourself so stuck in the past you can’t be present or dream of the future.
Trust how you feel above all this Cancer season, FireandLux Fam!
