The Season of the Crab (Cancer Season)

The Sun enters the sign of the healer, nurturer, and therapist.

Ruled by the Moon, the Great Mother this is a time to attune to your inner world and feel into what you need to nourish yourself.

Carving out alone time, getting cozy with a good book and your favorite drink, cooking your favorite comfort food, and having soulful talks with people you love and trust are all avenues through which restoration and healing can be found.

Cancer rules the fourth house (house of home, roots/family, inner self) and is a cardinal sign which means that creating a safe and comfortable space, internally and externally, is essential and a pathway to healing for the sign of the crab.

Cancer’s evolutionary goal is to feel life with an open heart, and opening your heart to life requires creating a haven within to allow for our innermost thoughts and feelings to flow through without judgement, just pure compassion.

Cancer (season) is here to teach us healing begins with feeling, and so creating an environment rooted in safety is what allows us to do so.

Cancer gifts us the wisdom that home or safety and comfort isn’t solely a physical location found outside of oneself. It’s also a feeling and presence that can be cultivated both within and in one’s environment among the people, spaces, and places one feels in resonance with.
