June 21st 2024 – July 22nd 2024
The start of Cancer season aligns with the Summer Solstice-Summer is officially here! With the hard shell of the crab, Cancer natives find their roots in home, memory, and emotions. As a water sign, Cancer natives have an affinity for nurturance, protection, and leadership; melding people into family units just as water represents the moistening and cohering principle that binds and connects all forms of nature. Always ready to host, and set a table, they are good at reading the emotional tone in a room because of their protective instinct to side-step and observe situations before opening up completely.
Give the Cancer in your life gifts to suit their intuitive, nurturing, and protective energy!
