Hello everyone,
The fourth astrological season of the year has arrived already. How can that be? I know we are a week in already but there has been a lot happening for me this week. Its the anniversary of my brother’s passing - i also recieved the news that my beloved dog, my wee sidekick, has cancer so i am absolutely broken hearted 
.
Anyway, Cancer season is now underway, and is likely to bring heightened sensitivity to your emotions, introspection, the need to nurture, and an emphasis on home and connection to family. As the Sun moves through the sign of the Crab, it also may also influence our physical bodies.
As always, please remember that the information below is for educational purposes only and should not be used for self-diagnosis, treatment, or to replace the advice of a medical professional.
Qualities of the Signs
Cancer Season: Cold and Wet
Cancer is a Water sign, giving it cold and wet qualities. These are receptive, intuitive and inward-moving traits. After the buzzy, fast-paced energy of Gemini season, Cancer invites us to slow down, feel deeply, and tend to our emotional and physical comfort. It’s a season of physicial, emotional and spiritual nourishment, but be aware that emotional intensity can also show physically through fatigue, fluid retention, or sensiti ity in your digestive system.
Cancer rules the chest, breasts, stomach, and digestive fluids, so this season may draw attention to emotional eating, stomach upsets, or the need for security and comfort through the body.
Seasonal Effects on Your Sign
FIRE Signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius)
Aries – Head, brain, face
Cancer season may feel like an emotional speed bump for you. You are used to the fast lane, and this slowing down can bring frustration, which may trigger headaches or tension in the face and jaw. Try facial massage or mindful breathing to ease the pace.
Leo – Heart, spine, upper back
This water season may stir deep feelings or memories, which could weigh on the heart or cause emotional tightness in the back. Stretching and creative expression such as writing, art or music may offer emotional release.
Sagittarius – Hips, thighs, liver
You may crave freedom, but Cancer’s inward pull might feel confining. This could show up as restlessness or liver imbalance, especially if over indulging in comfort foods. Balance adventure with dome quiet time, and support your liver health with bitter greens and plenty of water to flush it out.
EARTH Signs (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn)
Taurus – Neck, throat, thyroid, voice
Cancer complements your steady nature, inviting cozy routines and soulful rest. You may feel a lump-in-the-throat emotion more strongly this season. Singing, humming, or vocal expression may help soothe and release this.
Virgo – Digestive system, intestines
Cancer season highlights your gut-brain connection. Emotional sensitivity can lead to stomach cramps, IBS flare-ups, or nausea. Gentle eating, warm foods, and digestive herbs like ginger or chamomile are your friends this seas9n.
Capricorn – Bones, knees, joints, teeth
This season may bring emotional vulnerability that you’re not used to showing. Suppressed emotion can show as tension in the joints or stiffness. Allow yourself moments of softness, and do grounding physical routines like slow yoga or gardening.
AIR Signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius)
Gemini – Lungs, shoulders, arms, hands
After your fast-paced season, Cancer asks you to slow down and reflect. Emotional exhaustion or shallow breathing may occur if you resist rest. Breathing practices and gentle self-touch, like hand massages, can help soothe and relax your restless body (and mind).
Libra – Kidneys, lower back, skin
The emotional waves of Cancer season may feel intense and destabilising to your need for balance. You might experience water retention or skin breakouts. Support kidney function with cooling teas like dandelion or hibiscus, and prioritise rest and relaxation.
Aquarius – Ankles, circulation, nervous system
This season’s softness may feel sluggish or overly emotional for you. That discomfort might bring anxiety or insomnia. Try cooling baths, feet-up-the-wall poses, and routines that blend logic with emotion, like expressive journaling.
WATER Signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces)
Cancer – Chest, breasts, stomach
This is your season! While you may feel deeply aligned, you’re also more prone to emotion. Stomach upsets, emotional eating, or breath tightness are possible. Embrace self-nourishment through warm meals, hugs, naps, and time near water.
Scorpio – Reproductive organs, elimination system
The emotional pull of Cancer can stir subconscious feelings. This can be intense but also healing. You might experience digestive elimination changes or sleep disturbances. Detox baths, nighttime journaling, and boundary-setting are useful.
Pisces – Feet, lymphatic system, fluid balance
You’re naturally attuned to Cancer’s energy, but emotional overwhelm may bring fatigue or fluid imbalance. Rest is essential. Think warm foot soaks, slow movements, and compassionate self-talk.
Cancer Season Remedies & Suggestions
Because Cancer is Cold and Wet, it brings reflection, emotional depth, and softness, but also potential for physical stagnation or emotional overload. Here are a few tips for getting through the seas9n:
Warm the core: Drink herbal teas like ginger, fennel, or cinnamon to warm the stomach and aid digestion.
Nurture the breath and belly through breathwork that expands the diaphragm. Also eat warm, nourishing meals.
Process your emotions through journaling, quiet conversations, or time in nature to help regulate moods.
Spend time by water or take warm baths, but avoid staying emotionally submerged. Cry if you need to, but also laugh, move, and stay engaged.
Cancer season asks us to feel deeply, connect authentically, and protect our emotional energy. It’s a time to be gentle with ourselves and others, and to prioritise true nourishment of body, mind, and soul.
Blessed Be,
Alan
