On June 21, The Summer Solstice marks the beginning of Cancer Season 2022. Cancer season starts on the summer solstice, the day when the sun is at its highest and most patent stage—illuminating the core issues of the zodiac sign of cancer.
Cancer is ruled by the moon, representing instincts and protection. It governs the
physical rhythms, such as the oceans and autonomic processes in the body; it represents the female aspect: the mother and the Goddess. The moon also represents the Yin, the feminine, the dark aspect of consciousness. And as the sun represents the Yang, aspect, the light, the father, and the ego, from tomorrow, after the solstice goes back to its weaker stage, it represents a time where the ego is giving place for the more all-loving heart energy.
Together with the other planetary alignments, like Jupiter and Saturn, it presents a time for
self-reflection regarding the female, the mother, nurturing capacity, nurturing our inner light, and the light we want to shine in the world. It allows us to check in and see where we are still hiding within our shells and are not stepping out in the light.
The summer solstice energy encourages us not to give up on our dreams but to keep going,
and we will reach our goals. It is auspicious time we are entering where we can expect gifts,
positive messages, and positive outcomes.
We can expect to be very emotional during this time, but if we stay focused, positive, and
grateful, we can manifest beautiful things.
