Cancer season begins June 20 and brings up the traits of this sensitive, intuitive zodiac sign.
Cancerians love to love, are very nurturing, and are often used as a confidant, if not therapist, by those that know them. They will keep your secrets and tell you what you need to hear in the moment to feel better. They get people. They instinctively know your vulnerabilities and strengths.
Use this season to do some of your own Cancer-inspired self healing. Understand where you’re tender or sore, mentally, physically or emotionally. Find the root cause. Analyse your situation and figure out ways to release what you hold or what has scarred you. Find ways to move on.
This is emotional intelligence, this is personal growth. Be like Cancer, and let the tarot guide you towards your own self healing plan.
Aries
March 21 to April 20
Tarot card for Aries for Cancer season: Three of Cups
Meaning: Dilute the pain with joy! Flush out the negative with a surge of (forced initially) positive energy! You are a great ‘good time’ person, you love to have fun, you are naturally exuberant. Your best ‘medicine’ in life is to make yourself laugh, seek the lighter side of life, be busy and active and joyful, take pleasure wherever you find it.
Make this season a celebration of all that you enjoy and you will naturally slough away the sore spots and refocus on why life is so very, very worth living to the max!

Taurus
April 21 to May 21
Tarot card for Taurus for Cancer season: Eight of Swords
Meaning: The Eight of Swords hints you are your own worst enemy and foe ATM. Does it feel like that? Maybe not, because you’ve been at this game a while and have crafted many mental constructs about how it’s other people who have hurt you, put you here, made it impossible, created problems etc.
You have focused on the external (that you can’t change) vs the internal (that you can). However, when you can’t change circumstances, your best bet is to change yourself, and that’s the task in hand this Cancer season. See the ways you self-sabotage, and simply stop doing it.

Gemini
May 22 to June 21
Tarot card for Gemini for Cancer season: The Hermit
Meaning: Gemini, you are entering a powerful phase (from now until October) of self discovery and enlightenment, almost like you’re studying yourself. Perhaps begin writing a journal or a life story – getting our narratives in order is a major part of understanding our lives, our nature our flaws and strengths… and understanding what we want from the life we have yet to live.
The Hermit shows this is a solo mission, a private and personal undertaking. Get ready to look in the mirror and know yourself even better. It will lead to revelation and change.

Cancer
June 22 to July 23
Tarot card for Cancer for Cancer season: Two of Coins
Meaning: You are the perfect crab (your astrological symbol) – soft and vulnerable inside covered by a hard shell. And sometimes your crusty shell can block things getting in that would benefit you, it’s a kind of stubbornness and inertia where your protectionism takes over.
The Two of Coins asks you to let a flood of new energy, thinking, possibility, and ideas inside. Stop blocking, stop protecting, stop defending. You are missing out on stuff that will help you in life. You have a shrewd enough intuition to sort the wheat from the chaff anyway. Open up more.

Leo
July 24 to August 23
Tarot card for Leo for Cancer season: Seven of Cups
Meaning: Your self confidence has taken a hit when it comes to your creativity and imagination. Someone knocked an idea of yours and it has made you question the power of your mind and ability to come up with solutions, plans, and schemes. Leo, don’t doubt it! Don’t let this criticism in.
The Seven of Cups asks you to go on an artistic and imaginative jaunt this Cancer season – take a painting class, write a poem, visit some beautiful places, learn to sew… do something to get those juices flowing again. Your mind is a powerful tool.

Virgo
August 24 to September 23
Tarot card for Virgo for Cancer season: Queen of Coins
Meaning: Get practical about things in your realm which aren’t quite right or firing on all cylinders. Don’t ask for rescue, or wait and see, or expect someone else to sort it out. Step up and take ownership for correcting the mistakes and repairing the damage.
You will feel amazing and empowered for doing so and you will have sorted the issues out – win/win. The areas of work, health, home and money should fall under this review – the fundamentals of life, the things that make you feel secure (or not).

Libra
September 24 to October 23
Tarot card for Libra for Cancer season: Seven of Coins
Meaning: Accept that you are going through some changes, evolutionary and steady, but changes nonetheless. You need space, quiet, thinking time. You need patience and compassion. And that includes from yourself! Change is hard and unsettling, even when it’s for our own good (as this is).
You are ready to start adjusting and adapting, letting things go in order to make room for new endeavours or activities. It will all turn out great but this bit is difficult for you. Acknowledge that and create a safe place to think, ruminate, and plan.

Scorpio
October 24 to November 22
Tarot card for Scorpio for Cancer season: Seven of Swords
Meaning: You are nursing a personal wound, an injustice, betrayal, or cruelty inflicted by another. It burns! Scorpio, you are vengeful and you are riled and that’s a dangerous combination. My advice? Don’t get mad, get even. And getting even is never bettered than by your own success and achievement.
Use this pain as fuel to propel you forwards to your best ever chapter. Show them what they’re missing out on. Prove you were better all along. I know it might sound petty but, boy, does this kind of fuel help you move mountains!

Sagittarius
November 23 to December 21
Tarot card for Sagittarius for Cancer season: Eight of Wands
Meaning: The Eight of Wands shows you need to heal from a phase of being overly busy, in demand, put upon, and generally in the grip of FOMO. You are close to burnout. Physical rest is very important right now. I don’t care what you think is at risk… it will all still be there waiting for you when you return, rested and rejuvenated.
You can’t pour from an empty jug. Find ways to sleep well, get away from the bustle, make space and time to relax, and regain your vigour. Take better physical care of yourself.

Capricorn
December 22 to January 21
Tarot card for Capricorn for Cancer season: Queen of Swords
Meaning: People don’t realise how sensitive you are to criticism (even perceived criticism). The Queen of Swords shows you have been at the rough end of someone’s tongue recently and their words (or maybe even their lack of attention and words) cut you deeply.
Take it seriously but not personally. When people criticise, much of it will be their own projection of the situation. And projection is as much about their feelings as the truth of what happened. Unpick the valid parts from the emotion. Take a life lesson, do whatever you feel you ought to make amends, and move on. Let this go.

Aquarius
January 22 to February 19
Tarot card for Aquarius for Cancer season: The Chariot
Meaning: You are an independent free spirit and part of your necessary ‘mental health maintenance’ is to feel free and unencumbered and ideally able to travel, roam, explore. Your are overdue a phase of this!
Do what you can to get away, find a space to explore, have an adventure, seek a new territory, travel a different route, take outings, take a break. You are good at recharging and recalibrating when you travel, it reboots the factory settings, and you return a refreshed person. Do it now.

Pisces
February 20 to March 20
Tarot card for Pisces for Cancer season: Six of Swords
Meaning: Pisces, your greatest healing action right now is to quit, exit, leave, withdraw or move on from something that you know is already over (you’re just spinning the wheel).
This is the right time to make this important and necessary move. You fear it will be sad or difficult but it won’t because the ending is inevitable and everyone feels it too. Let yourself off this hook. Release this pressure valve. Say what you feel. Make the change. Look ahead. Heal and renew.
