Cosmic Compass: Cancer Season 2025
A Guide to Tending to What Truly Matters
Cancer season feels like coming home after a long, exhausting trip with your favorite people, plopping onto the couch in your matching bougie sweatsuit, wrapping yourself in your coziest blanket, turning on your comfort TV show and tuning out the noise of the world.
It’s a season of soft landings.
A time to come home to yourself.
To soak up the creature comforts.
To remember what really matters.
Officially kicking off on June 21st, 2025, Cancer season is here—and as your friendly solar witch, I’m here to break it down in everyday magic terms…the kind you can soak in and snuggle up with.
Whether you’re a Cancer or not, you’re soaking in these waters too. Because astrology is a living energy. It weaves into all of us. Even when we’re not paying attention, these cycles tug at our emotions, our memories, our roots. And Cancer energy? She’s all about the feels.
She’s the timeless masterpiece. The art museums. The vintage photo album. The handwritten recipe card. The one who will fight for the people she loves. Who creates safety through softness. Who holds on tight to what matters most.
This season asks:
What are you willing to protect?
What are you ready to feel?
How can you create a home within yourself that you always want to return to?
After the fast-talking, fast-moving chaos of Gemini season that has us all ready to take a nap and turn on DND, Cancer season calls us inward. She hands us warm cookies and a blanket and says: “Slow down. You’re safe here.”
She reminds us to check in on our people, our emotions, our foundations. To tend to our hearts and remember the sacredness of home whatever that means to you.
So if you’ve been feeling all over the place lately… you’re right on time.
This is your invitation to feel it all. To nourish. To tend. To come back to yourself.
This season feels like:
like the hug you didn’t know you needed.
like crying in the car and somehow feeling better after.
like rereading your favorite book from childhood.
like softening in places you forgot were tense.
It’s slipping under the covers when you’re just cold enough and doing that happy shaky-feet thing because you are cozy AF.
It’s giving your bestie the biggest hug because they’re having a hard day and warming them up with your love.
It’s coming home after the longest day, taking off your jeans, and feeling safe and sound again.
It’s watching your favorite comfort TV show (How I Met Your Mother, if you’re me) and letting nostalgia wrap around you like a blanket.
It’s reading the back of your cereal box to do the puzzles.
It’s finding something from your childhood and opening it up—remembering who you’ve always been.
It’s looking through family photo albums and seeing your grandparents when they were your age.
It’s cooking the recipe your mom used to make, and tasting love in every bite.
It’s sending a handwritten card to your bestie just because.
It’s calling a friend to check in and ending the conversation feeling more human again.
It’s printing out photos of your favorite memories and hanging them up so your space feels like home.
It smells like fresh rain on warm pavement.
It tastes like homemade cookies and salty tears.
It sounds like a slow playlist, a screen door closing, and a quiet heartbeat.
It moves like water swirling, still, or crashing, depending on the day.
What to focus on this season:
Create your sacred space
Cancer season invites you to make your home feel like a place you can return to and exhale. This might mean cozying up your physical space: clearing out clutter, lighting softer lamps, making your office feel more you. Maybe it’s finally printing and hanging those wedding photos, or setting up a little corner for journaling or meditation.
But “home” isn’t just your house. It can also be your business, your website, your creative world, your inner mind. Cancer energy reminds you that your online presence can feel sacred too, a reflection of your heart. A space where others feel seen, safe, and connected.
Try this:
Choose one space, digital or physical and do one small thing to make it feel more nurturing and more you.
Take a chill pill (and I mean that lovingly)
What if instead of going full speed ahead, you just cancel some plans? Like is your calendar stacked to the brim with plans this summer because gemini season had you feeling fomo about doing ALL the things? It’s okay to cancel plans, to say no to something because maybe you were too excited at first but deep down you feel a little exhausted by it all. Grab a glass of water, take a chill pill and cancel some plans. You can’t pour into these things from an empty cup.
Try this:
Schedule nothing for one day and see how it feels. Like literally have a day on your calendar with nothing on it and just do what feels good.
Nurture yourself + your people
What is nurturing yourself or others mean? This could mean deciding to spend an hour making a delicious dinner for you and your partner. Maybe you do it together. This could mean turning off your phone and alll the outside noise and that little box of doom you spend countless hours on and going for a walk in nature. This could mean you write some handwritten notes to your besties just because. How can you fill your own cup first, and then nurture the relationships that matter to you most?
Try this:
Send a friend a simple check in text, a phone call, or invite some friends over for a home cooked meal.
Follow what feels good
Term coined from yoga with adrienne ;) but Cancer season is alll about FEELING and instead of thinking with your mind and overthinking every single little step in your brain, what if you decided to just do what felt good in the moment? In your business this could be saying fuck it to the logical decision and doing what feels good and fun and warms your heart. Following where your heart wants you to go instead of being rational.
Try this:
Say no when it drains you. Say yes when it fills you up. Journal on what would you do if you followed what your heart wants, if you ignored all rational thinking and decided to do what feels the best?
Where Cancer season is showing up for you
Your Rising Sign (Ascendant) shows where this energy is activating in your real, lived life. This is the house of your chart that Cancer is lighting up—your focus area, your seasonal theme, your invitation for nurturing.
If you’ve only ever read your Sun sign (the one you know from magazines), you’ll feel the vibes.
But when you read your Rising sign, you’ll understand how and where this energy is actually unfolding.
Your Rising sign sets the starting point of your chart—it literally maps out your life’s seasons and chapters. That’s why forecasts based on your Rising sign feel so personal and real.

Cancer Season Scopes by Rising Sign:
Aries Rising:
Home, family, emotional safety
This season your energy and focus will be on your home and family and being safe in your own heart and mind. You may benefit from doing some internal work, therapy, or addressing some of the stories your family may have passed down that you no longer want to align with or hold onto. You also might be tending to your home, making it more cozy, peaceful, or sacred for you. This might mean improving your space or even thinking about moving into a new one that is more suitable for the version of you right now. A big home improvement is something that is on your mind! Take this season as an opportunity to make your space feel good.
Taurus Rising:
Communication, ideas, your neighborhood
Your mental energy is coming into focus right now. Cancer season is the best time for you to come up with new ideas. Make sure you have your voice memos or journal with you, because this season you’ll be a communication queen. You may start writing more, start a podcast, or join some community events IRL. This season is a perfect time for you to express yourself and get in tune with yourself. Because Cancer rules your house of communication, a lovely idea is for you to handwrite a letter to a friend or even send a voice note of encouragement.
Gemini Rising:
Money, self-worth, resources
It’s time to nurture your money and really reflect on what you value, what is most important to you, and to give your time and energy to the things you truly care about. Cancer season reminds you that you are worth nourishing, nurturing, and tending to. The best way to make money is to find the value and self-worth within. To really trust yourself and make sure you have faith in your abilities. A great practice for you now is to start a money care ritual. Go on a date with your finances and light a candle, drink some cozy green tea, and take a look at your finances and where your money is coming from.
Cancer Rising:
Identity, expression, reinvention (it’s your season, baby!)
Cancer season for you is a big time of year. You are really focused on your appearance, your self, your vitality. This month calls you forward to nurture your vibes. Care for your hair, take some new brand photos, maybe shop for something that reminds you of what you loved when you were younger. Maybe you had a pair of flare jeans in high school that made you feel like a badass, go get yourself a pair now to really remind yourself of who you are. Your health, your energy, your vibes are high right now. Continue to care for yourself and fill up your own cup.
Leo Rising:
Rest, dreams, behind-the-scenes healing
Cancelled plans? Probably a good idea. It’s been a little difficult of a year and right now tending to your rest, putting that phone on DND, and reassessing your relationship with your scrolling habit is something to really consider. It’s good for you to plant some seeds. Where do you want to go next? What have you learned this last year? You are at the end of a cycle and prepping for your big beautiful comeback come Leo season…but for now, spiritual growth, tending to the inner you, healing, and transformation are big themes. Make space in your schedule and be a little selfish right now. Meditate in the bath, start a new breathwork practice, and let your mind rest. It’s time to care for your spirit.
Virgo Rising:
Community, collaborations, collective energy
Right now it’s a PERFECT time for you to think about how you can care for your community. What do they need right now? And how can you use your gifts to nurture the collective? It’s a very sociable time for you, even though it’s Cancer season and the vibes tend to be more homey, you are feeling like being in your community and making an impact toward the collective. Ask yourself, what can I give that everyone else seems like they need right now? Or how can you bring people together and nurture them? Anything community or collaboration right now is your sacred space.
Libra Rising:
Career, visibility, your role in the world
Cancer season is shining a light on your career, public presence, and long-term vision. You may feel clarity around your next steps or a strong desire to make your work more meaningful and fulfilling. This is a beautiful time to launch something new or refine your direction. Your business or work doesn’t have to drain you, it can nourish you too. If things have felt off, take time this season to realign with your purpose and the legacy you’re here to leave.
Scorpio Rising:
Travel, teaching, perspective shifts
You’re feeling lighter this month, finally. If Gemini season had you in the depths, Cancer season is the breath of fresh air you needed. Your mind is expanding and your emotions are catching up. Whether it’s travel, learning, or spiritual exploration, you're being invited to see things from a wider lens. Book the trip, sign up for the course, or simply give yourself permission to dream bigger. New perspectives bring emotional clarity and creative renewal.
Sagittarius Rising:
Intimacy, trust, energy exchanges
This time of year for you—your emotions are often heightened, and right now you may be feeling ALL of the feels. Things might be intense. Your feelings and emotions in matters of money, fears, insecurities, intimacy, or death may rise to the surface. This isn’t to scare you or make you feel disempowered—it’s to remind you that when we face these fears head-on, they often become less and less powerful. Right now is a perfect time to tend to and nurture your emotional world. My favorite tool? EFT—Emotional Freedom Techniques—and I actually have some free tappings for you here → [Click Here]
Capricorn Rising:
Relationships, partnerships, 1:1 dynamics
It’s time to tend to your relationships—and this includes all kinds. Partnerships, business connections, 1:1 clients, best friends. Cancer season is asking you to be tender with others and to invest your time, heart, and energy into these 1:1 dynamics. Maybe in business you offer some 1:1 services, or maybe you focus on your personal relationships and make your people feel loved and cared for just because. You may also be very aware of yourself through the lens of others right now. We often seek relationships to reflect the parts of ourselves we’re trying to find or become. It’s a good time to nurture connection of all kinds.
Aquarius Rising:
Routines, health, your daily rhythms
You may be very focused right now on tending to your health, your routines, and your day-to-day life. Cancer season is the time to start that new yoga practice, tend to your health and book those doctor appointments you’ve been avoiding, or consider how you can create more peace in your everyday rituals. Nurturing your wellness and work habits will greatly benefit you right now. It's time to make peace with your calendar and prioritize habits that feel nurturing not just efficient. Think sustainable, slow, and nourishing.
Pisces Rising:
Creativity, joy, romance, self-expression
Right now your mind is focused on one big question—how can I nurture my creativity and have more fun? Cancer season is the best time for you to use your intuitive, creative nature to flow and make art. Tend to your inner child. Think about how you can feel more joy, peace, and freedom in how you express yourself. It’s a good time to think back on the creative things you loved as a child and do them again. Make friendship bracelets or those weird lizard bead keychains from the 90s. Nostalgia and fueling your inner child is the answer to your joy right now.
Final thoughts:
Cancer season is an invitation to nurture yourself first.
You can’t pour from an empty cup.
You can’t be everything to everyone if you’ve forgotten yourself.
You can’t do all the things if you’re running on fumes.
This season is about honoring your feelings, protecting your peace, and creating a space, inside your mind, heart, and soul or in your environment where you can come home to yourself.
I’ll meet you there… somewhere between the couch cushions and Mom’s fresh baked cookies.
