With Cancer season in progress, we might find ourselves channelling the energies of this sensitive and compassionate sign. Tatler’s astrologer Casey Chan explains what it means for each star sign
Following last week’s solstice that marked the beginning of Cancer season, Mercury will also make its way into the sensitive and compassionate sign on June 27. During this time, even the logical side of us begins to slow down and melt into deep quality of nurturing and care. We could find ourselves drawn to giving and receiving more love, especially in the way we communicate. Closer to the weekend, this energy amplifies when Sun and Mercury meet. As the two personal planets make a trine to Saturn in Pisces, the planets are interacting beautifully in the same element of water. Here, we are invited to trust the process of life with our whole being. It is the nature of our minds to want to know and understand, however we are reminded that if we plan life down to every detail, there is no space for miracles to happen. Instead, try tuning into the subtle energies and follow the breadcrumbs of what feels most nourishing. This is also a good time to assess where in our lives are we doing too much, where there may be an imbalance of giving and receiving.
Neptune, our planet of dreams and spirituality, goes retrograde on July 1. During this time, the veils of illusions are lifted, and we could find ourselves confronted by hard truths and reality checks. As Neptune is also the planet of illusions and deceits, hidden secrets may be revealed now. If things feel foggy, spend more time connecting with your own intuition.
