June 20 (Summer Solstice) – July 22, 2025

Your sun sign is just one planet in your star soup. Curious about the rest? Contact me for a natal chart reading!

Every year Cancer season begins on the summer solstice. Can you feel it? Gemini’s wind giving way to Cancer’s sweet rain? Mercurial Gemini sinks below, the ocean rises.

Cancer is ruled by the moon. Every day the moon rises at a different time and place with a different shape and color. The crab, too, shifts from day to day, moment to moment.

Cancer nurtures all forms of life. She is tender, nostalgic, forever yearning for the sweetness of the past, of home and childhood.

Take a walk down memory lane. Revisit your roots. Cancer needs her family, or friends who feel like family. Home, roots, and family clarify like a compass.

The crab surrenders to the tides of her heart with total abandon. These tides are not always calm. Cancer absorbs everything around her until she is turbid, agitated, and irrational.

Recharge. Reset. Breathe.

You’ll know what to do.

June 22: Sun square Saturn in Aries. Escape plans are in order; life requires a new structure, a new source of security. The ones we have relied upon until now are no longer functional. Saturn’s logical, planning influence takes over and spurs us into action.

June 23: Sun square Neptune in Aries. Emotional overwhelm. Neptune dredges up toxicity and inner turmoil. Spend time in solitude – very important.

June 24: Sun conjunct Jupiter in Cancer. Gold star day. Everything flowing in healthy new emotional directions. New ideas and pathways surge in with the tide.
