As the Wheel of the Year turns and incorporates the spectacular Summer Solstice, the Sun moves into the sign of Cancer at 04.32 (GMT) on Monday 21st June 2021. Cancer is ruled by Moon and their combined energies encourage us to know and understand ourselves so we can process and express our changing emotions.
What Does the Sun in Cancer Mean?
Every time the Sun changes sign by moving from one constellation to another, so does the energy available to us. Following on from the high flying and communicative energy of Gemini, we are now swimming with the generous and caring energy of Cancer.
The focus is on nurturing ourselves because Cancer is the Cardinal Water Sign. Water energy is flowing emotional energy connected to intuition, dreams and symbols, and Cancer explores the themes of family, ancestors, the home and nurturing. Cardinal energy is initiative energy that helps us begin new endeavours. It is a great time to start a new self-care ritual or a project at home.
The Benefits of Cancer Season
We can all benefit from the current energies at work in our lives regardless of when we were born, but for those with a birthday in Cancer season or if it's your Moon or rising sign, it is a particularly special and powerful time. Cancer people are sincere, gentle, loving, romantic, warm and nurturing. If you were born in the sign of Cancer it is your season for an upgrade and need to get to work defining your goals for the year ahead. Cancer season will help you to expand your natural gifts with grace if you take this opportunity.
It's time to:
Take to the Water - Cancer is a Water sign and we can benefit greatly from being around, in or doing anything connected with water at this time.
Nurture Ourselves - We all need more self-care and nurturing and Cancer energy is a master at helping us to do this.
Have Family Time - This energy is all about the family and home, so make it a priority time to spend precious time together. This also includes others that we regard as family.
Banish Insecurities - The symbol for Cancer is the crab which has an incredibly hard protective shell. Cancerian energy can be overly self-protective so it's a great time to ask ourselves where in our life we are coming from a place of fear or insecurity, where there could be more love. Using reflection we can then identify any barriers or blocks and then choose to remove them.
3 Crystals for support during Cancer Season
There are numerous crystals and minerals that we can choose to support us in tuning into the energy of Cancer. As always be guided in every moment for the best possible outcome. Here are my 3 favourites in 2021 for support during Cancer season and to help channel this wonderful energy.
Moonstone
Cancer is ruled by the Moon and Moonstone is the premier stone to use when working with the Moon.
Moonstone helps to amplify the nurturing and intuitive energies of Cancer while keeping the emotional state calm and flowing.
Ruby
Ruby is a stone of passion and life force energy that helps us to connect with our deepest desires. What Cancer energy is most passionate about is creating a warm and nurturing home environment where loved ones can be protected. Ruby provides the energy, confidence and grounding to do this successfully.
Carnelian
Carnelian is a stone that exudes the vitality and confidence to live life with passion and courage. It also sparks the insight and intuition that brings out the creative side of Cancer energy, helping to manifest dreams into reality.
We can use any of these stones in combination or on their own to help promote the energy of Cancer at this time. It is vital to use our guidance when choosing the best crystals for us as this allows us to get the most benefit from them.
With love and crystal blessings,
