Cancer season, cancer season, cancer season. We finally linked up again. If you haven’t heard the news, the sun is officially visiting the zodiac sign of compassionate Cancer until July 22.
And I’m not trying to be dramatic, but this cancer season is bringing with it some unprecedented shifts.
These shifts are directly linked to learning to regulate emotions and overcome fear during moments of discomfort and transition.
So, open up and get cozy with this new reality you’re building.
It’s worth it.
What is Cancer Season?
First things first, I want to explain what I mean when I say “cancer season” because I know I say it a lot.
Cancer season is an astrology terminology, which means the sun is making its annual tour through the fourth zodiac sign of Cancer.
Cancer is a cardinal water sign known in astrology for being sensual, intuitive, nurturing, empathetic, and ambitious. Cancer energy reminds us to pour into ourselves and our inner circle to preserve our legacy and prevent burnout.
Keep in mind that cancer season occurs only once a year, so it is helpful to know how it presents opportunities and challenges for your sign.
When is Cancer Season?
The dates for cancer season fluctuate every year. This year, it started on June 20, 2024 (the same day as the summer solstice for northern hemisphere folks).
Cancer season this year ends on July 22, 2024.

The general vibe for cancer season is to focus on pampering yourself, following your spirit, creating more harmony within your living space, freeing stuck emotions, strengthening family dynamics, eating yummy food, catching up on rest, resetting for the second half of the year, etc.
