After an exciting Gemini season, Cancer is here to remind us to nurture ourselves.
Mercury enters Cancer, June 18
The planet of thought and communication had an easy, natural time while in Gemini, promoting connections and logical thought. In dreamy, emotional Cancer though, where it will remain until July 2, Mercury takes on a new aspect: that of connecting and giving voice to our innermost emotions. This is a time to lead with empathy and open our hearts in order to communicate.
Venus enters Cancer, June 18
On the same day as Mercury enters Cancer, Venus, the planet of love and beauty, joins him there. Venus in Cancer brings heavy Water energy, forcing us to go deep into our heartspace and cultivate and nourish existing connections — most importantly with ourselves, our inner child, and our soul family. This may not be the easiest time to flirt and meet new people, but it’s an important time to grow and heal, learning what you need from love and relationships.
Sun enters Cancer, June 21
The trio of planets entering Cancer this week is concluded with the Sun, on June 21. Sun’s entrance in Cancer, immediately followed by a Full Moon in Capricorn the next day, is teaching us to let go of all the things we can’t control, relax, and take the time we need to figure out how we feel about certain things and people. A time of introspection and emotional awareness is here.
