Cancer Season 2025 begins on the June 20 Solstice, a time when the veil is thin and we can tap into the healing powers of mother nature with greater ease.
The Solstice also brings either the longest or shortest day of the year. For those experiencing the longest day of the year, we are being encouraged to shine outward, and put our ideas and visions out into the world. For those experiencing the shortest day of the year, we are being encouraged to shine within and pay closer attention to our internal world and our dreaming state.
The Solstice is also our reminder that we are half way through the calendar year and at a turning point where we can take a new direction if we choose to. Set intentions under the Solstice about how you would like the remainder of 2025 to go. Set intentions for more peace, more love, more gratitude, and more of whatever you are looking for in your life moving forward.
It is never too late to start moving in the direction that you desire. It’s never too late to share with the Universe what you need or what you would like.
While the Solstice is a powerful time for setting intentions, it is also a great time to sit out in nature and soak up the healing vibrations of the energy grid. Allow yourself to feel more connected and more attuned to the wonderful world around you.
Cancer Season 2025
Under the 2025 June Solstice, we have a configuration of three power planets- Saturn, Jupiter, and Neptune. This configuration of planets creates a powerful manifestation portal!
Neptune helps us to dream, Saturn helps us to bring those dreams into reality, and Jupiter acts as a magnifier, helping to enhance and speed up our manifestation wishes!
This configuration will be with us all through Cancer Season but will peak under the energies of the Solstice.
Use this planetary portal to your advantage by focusing on what you wish to attract, putting your wishes out to the Universe, and dreaming big! It is also helpful to remove any blocks, fears, or restrictions you may be inadvertently putting on yourself.
Cancer Season officially comes to an end on July 22nd, as the Sun enters Leo.
Working with the Energies of Cancer Season
To work best with the energies of Cancer Season, it helps to understand the messaging behind the crab. Most people think that Cancer is sensitive, moody, and like the crab, wants to be in its shell. But there is actually so much more to this little creature, and so much more to this zodiac sign!
The story behind the Cancer Crab is actually a surprising one. The Crab was actually a protector of other ocean life and would use its hard shell and fearless, caring nature to look out for those around it. While protecting a fellow sea creature, the Crab was crushed to death. To honor the Crab for its bravery and loyalty, its crushed pieces were scattered into the sky, forming the many twinkling stars of the Cancer constellation.
Whenever we look up to the constellation of Cancer, or we enter Cancer Season, it is our reminder that we, too, hold that fearless nature. That we too can stand up for those that we love, and that we too, hold the same bravery and strength in our hearts.
The Crab is not the largest, biggest, or most dangerous creature in the sea. It is not really an animal that we think of when we hear the words protector, and yet, despite its outward appearance, the Cancer Crab was all of those things.
If you are feeling small, unworthy, or unfit to handle something that is unfolding in your life, Cancer Season is your time to shake off your fears and insecurities and connect with the power of your heart.
The crab gets its strength and its fierceness not from its physical body, not from its knowledge, but from its heart.
As our heart expands, as we connect with the love that we are, and the love that surrounds us, we too are able to find our courage, our compassion, and our strength. We, too, can stand up for ourselves, for our loved ones, and for the life that we desire.
