Cancer Season and How It Affects the Zodiac

It’s Cancer season, which means the Mercury retrograde has come to an end, as has eclipse season, but the summer solstice is right around the corner (if not already arrived!). As the Cancer season date is upon us, we welcome significant energy shifts, which can affect all our day-to-day lives. 

In this blog, we will detail how the Cancer season will affect the signs of the Zodiac, with important observations to help you through the summer season.

Cancer season dates: When does it begin, and when does it end? 

In 2022, Cancer season begins on June 21st and runs right the way through July until the 22nd. During this time, Cancer energies will be heightened, especially when it comes to emotions, intuition, recognising energies, and manifestation. 

Like every water sign, Cancer traits are typically emotion-oriented. As Cancer is ruled by the Moon and is the cardinal water sign, it is often regarded as the most sensitive sign of all the water signs - or, indeed, of all the Zodiac signs. 

So, without further ado, let’s take a look at the Cancer season horoscope for all the basic Sun signs - but don’t forget to check your Moon and Ascendant astrological sign too, or get in touch with Psychic Sofa for a full, detailed psychic reading.

How does Cancer season affect the Zodiac signs? 

Aries (March 21 - April 19) 

For Aries, the Sun is in the 4th house of home life - so the vibe this season will be one of relaxation and laziness. It is also the season of diagnosis, allowing you time to figure out what you want from life. 

From July, the ruling planet of Mars - the action planet but also the planet of aggression - will be more focused on money-making schemes, whilst the Moon and Jupiter will bring good luck. 

Taurus (April 20 - May 20) 

The Sun will be in the 3rd house of communication for Taurus, inspiring you to be more creative, collaborative, and innovative. Like Aries, Mars will bring energy and productivity to the table, especially when focused on one-to-one relationships. 

On July 19th, when Mercury enters Leo, this will allow you to reflect on your life and provide emotional nourishment. Trust your intuition, and don’t be afraid to let go. 

Gemini (May 21 - June 20)  

As the Sun moves through the 2nd house of income, Geminis will experience new confidence in money-making endeavours. Take time to find out what you want, how you can achieve it, and then go for it! 

In particular, Venus will appear in the sign, making you more persuasive than ever before - so take a chance. In particular, your beauty, physical body, and charm will be magnetising to a whole new level around July 13th. 

Cancer (June 21 - July 22) 

It’s birthday season for Cancer, and with it comes the Sun’s placement in the 1st house of self. You will benefit from confidence, clarity, and empowerment. This makes it an amazing time to make power moves towards your life goals. 

With the New Moon on June 28th, Cancer will also undergo a cosmic reset, aligning your astrological energy. 

Leo (July 23 - August 22) 

With the sun in the 12th house of spirituality, action-oriented Leos will have more emotional energy, providing ample time for self-reflection, hitting the books, understanding your personal goals, and embracing emotions. 

Venus will also be in the eleventh house - the house of friendship - helping your social and personal life to thrive. 

Virgo (August 23 - September 22) 

For Virgo, the Sun will be in the 11th house of friendship, and Mercury moves through the 11th house of communication. This allows you to better make friends and work collaboratively, creating meaningful connections with your comfortable energy. 

Libra (September 23 - October 22) 

Libras will enjoy an intensity of ambition due to the Sun in the 10th house. With Venus also in the 9th house of adventure, it is a beneficial time to take risks and try new things. New work opportunities will arise with the New Moon of June 28th - don’t be afraid to reinvent yourself or your career. 

Scorpio (October 23 - November 21) 

With the Sun in the ninth house - the house of adventure - Scorpios, though typically creatures of habit, will be driven to leave their comfort zone. Mars will travel across the seventh house - the house of partnership - which will also inspire you to dream big with a loved one. 

You will also inspire to make these dreams a reality, as Scorpio is ruled by Pluto - the planet of power.  

Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) 

Sagittarians will find their Sun in the 8th house of emotional bonds, and Jupiter in the 5th house of romance. This will cause more affection in relationships with romantic partners; however, this will inevitably war with your free-spirited nature, so be gentle with yourself.

Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) 

For Capricorns, it's time to spend quality time in one-on-one relationships, revelling in the emotional energy and collaboration. On July 2nd, Mercury will be in the sixth house of routine, in harmony with Saturn, indicating promising plans are ahead. With the New Moon on June 28th, it's also the perfect time to take risks to reignite the spark in your relationship, or to find someone new. 

Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) 

The last of the air signs, Aquarius, will enjoy wellness and routine during the summer season, due to the Sun being in the sixth house. Venus will arrive in the 5th house for romance, allowing you to have more fun with loved ones - especially as Mercury enters Leo, strengthening one-on-one relationships. 

Pisces (February 19 - March 20) 

With the Sun in the fifth house of romance and creativity, Pisces will be drawn towards artistic outlets, have more heartfelt conversations, and be more emotion-oriented. From July 17th, Venus’ positioning will increase confidence in your romantic feelings, making for some memorable romantic experiences, an active sex life, and lots of flirtation.
