How To Care in Cancer Season- July 2025 Newsletter

What does care look like to you? How do you incorporate it into your daily life? For yourself and for those you love.

Care can show up in many different ways. It can be setting boundaries to protect your own needs and energy. It can be saying no to commitments that feel overwhelming. And it can be advocating for those you love to take a break and rest. 

This happened to me recently when me and my partner Max were talking about what to do over the weekend. 

My mind was full of to-dos- things to do for my business, cleaning up around our house, adding more and more to the list. 

But my body was tired, and Max could see that. 

After debating why I should keep going he said, “Isn’t it Cancer season, meaning self-care? Maybe that means taking care of your body right now.”

And he was right. Cancer season is all about care and nurturance, tuning in to your feelings. 

Ruled by the Moon, Cancer is an extremely sensitive sign to what you are feeling, and to other’s feelings as well.

Imbalanced Cancer energy can take that to extreme levels, with being so sensitive to what anyone says or does that they read into everything and can take it personally. 

But if you can find a balance of this energy this season, it can be an incredible gift. Intuitive insight to what you and those around you need. Caring for those who need help, and bringing compassion into the world which we so desperately need right now. 

This energy was especially highlighted on June 24th when Jupiter and the Sun came together in Cancer, and on June 25th when there was a New Moon in Cancer, expanding and highlighting these Cancerian themes.

Both of these transits are exuberant signatures. Full of new beginnings, an expansion of faith and trust. And an extra boost of compassion, care, and nurturing for those around us and ourselves. 

This energy may not feel relevant in the world right now-there are many powers that are trying to take this away from us (which is so bizarre since Trump has three planets in Cancer, more on that in another newsletter), but that is why it is more important than ever to give this energy to ourselves and others during this time. 

There is little that we can do to control what unhappy people do at the top, but we can control how we are in our own surroundings and how we treat the people in our lives and those who show up in it. 

May this Cancer season be one of peace, compassion, and care.
