As we keep Gemini in our rearview mirror, we focus ahead on summer, the solstice, and Cancer season (my personal sign). And, as resident astrology advisor Lisa Greenfield has assured me, even with Saturn going retrograde, us Cancers will get LOTS of intuitive support. So, with the spiritual help of Lisa, we've broken down items that can help guide you through Cancer season, according to your zodiac sign.
Because the month head promises significant upheavals, according to Lisa. Adding, "For some in earthquake zones, this could be literal, while for others, the shifts will be powerful but internal. Mars moves over the Medusa point and is opposite Antares. If you're not fluent in astrology, let me explain: we all have the potential to lose our cool. It might be from feeling outraged over perceived injustices, reacting to someone invading your space, or blindly pursuing something with reckless abandon. At some point, we all lose it."
But, have no fear, as this month also "offers a chance to reshape these dynamics and learn better how to avoid unnecessary power struggles," Lisa explains. "Saturn goes retrograde for several months in Pisces dialing up the need for better emotional expression. The reason for this? To give us better relationships!"
Cancer is the sign that embodies a nurturing energy, so Lisa advises giving our anger some love and transforming it into something more constructive. "When applied wisely, anger consolidates our boundaries, signaling to others how to approach respectfully rather than intrusively. However, anger is not meant to storm into another's space to take what we want. To manage anger effectively, it helps to first understand it. Suppressing anger in one place can cause it to erupt elsewhere," Greenfield notes.
Try This
Especially this month, Lisa recommends dedicating 10 minutes at a time to letting your anger surface, "Ten minutes is roughly the time it takes for our emotional molecules to circulate through our nervous system. So, you are invited to find a timer and a safe way to express your anger, such as beating the dust out of a couch or throwing ice cubes at a wall (with no messy cleanup)."
Lisa points out, "When you acknowledge and own your feelings, you gain command over your responses. You can feel the emotion without causing major disruptions for yourself and others. It also helps maintain composure if someone else loses their head around you. The goal is to handle your feelings maturely, avoiding reactions that scorch the earth and leave you with very few options," adding, "Healthy anger deepens our best connections or separates us from the unhealthy in safe ways. Who doesn't want a summer of better love, right?"
Now it's time to get astrological.
Cancer (June 21 - July 22)
When it comes to Cancers, Greenfield reports, "It's essential to give your emotions a makeover this month, especially by creating a safe space to feel and express your anger. Nature can be particularly soothing and helpful for you. Spending quality time near water is highly beneficial, with extra points if you can be where there are waves or free-flowing water. Clean out old wounds to help limit conflict. Let the moving water remind you to flow. Flushing out pockets of long unexpressed emotions helps you identify current feelings from previous wounds.
"When you couldn't or didn't speak up in the past, those emotions built up over time. This might cause you to demand a $100 fine for a $10 crime against you now. So, speak up on your behalf about old crimes in neutral space. Purge them for yourself, put it in your journal, or tell a trusted friend. Release stuck pain and let it flow by - stop bottling it up. All of your relationships improve beautifully when you clean out the gunk. Now you can match your emotions more authentically to this moment, and that builds trust! That's a sweet spot for all your relationships, too!"
This adorable little pouch comes with everything a Cancer needs, including hand selected crystals like desert rose for abundance, prehnite for unconditional love (so important for caregiving Cancers), and more, plus a dainty bracelet. And, best of all, Moon & Stone's crystals are ethically sourced, bought directly from miners, so they're already channeling good vibes.
Since spending time near water is so important for Cancers this month (we are water signs, after all), this water feature is great to have around. There's a pump that easily moves the water and keeps it algae-free, and it's compact enough to fit on any tabletop. Allow the moving water against the rocks to calm and soothe you until it's Leo season.
Leo (July 23 - August 22)
Time to be patient. Lisa reports, "For you, brave Lion, change unfolds over months, not weeks, this year. You've outgrown your old ways of expressing your influence and haven't yet settled into your new talents and gifts. This month, your mind keeps trying to bring you back to what worked for you in the past. When it fails to deliver the expected results, you might find yourself roaring! This is just a learning curve, and it's normal. It is also a chance for you to learn how to better apply and express your anger. When done well, it consolidates you and helps bolster your courage to try something new.
"The old way is to blame and shame either yourself or those around you. Remember, doing it this way won't get you what you want. Better to understand what used to make you feel powerful. How much of that was inherited messages. See what's happening as proof you've outgrown those limits. Right now you want to be your own best audience. Then you can release resentment over disappointing outcomes and those who don't play well with you. Unwelcome results become an invitation to create something even better and, dare I say, bigger than you originally planned. Your resilience in the face of obstacles is undeniable. All your relationships improve as you become a stronger, steadier version of what they love most - which is you!"
Featuring 60 prints (4x6 inches) and 10 waterproof stickers, this wall collage kit is full of vintage florals, butterflies, celestial art, frogs, fairies, and more for brave Lions this month. It can be used for decoration, mood boards, or just trying to visualize something new. Reviewers rave about the quality of these cards and they also come in cottagecore and graphic boho prints.
Virgo (August 23 - September 22)
Lisa breaks it down for the Virgos: "With things in flux and changing this month, you stand out at overcoming difficulties and lending a hand to those who feel stuck. You can enjoy the little day-to-day victories as you stay present in the moment, feel what comes up, express yourself appropriately to the situation, and model how it is done. It's a good feeling to know that whatever emotions arise, you have your feet on solid ground to deal with them.
"The one thing to watch is that pesky perfectionist mind of yours. Criticism, even when you are right, sees things in black and white, good and bad. Massage that approach so you see what else is possible instead of what's wrong. Then what doesn't work is just a starting point. What can be improved is then a destination. Serve it up for yourself and others as a shared journey to a better place, not judgment on where you begin now. When you do that, others follow your lead and appreciate good direction. It's a great way to get around angry outbursts!"
What better way to keep Virgos grounded this month than with a pair of minimalist shoes? They have a wide toe box for extra comfort, a knitted upper for breathability, and the flexible, barely-there sole will make it feel like you're walking barefoot.
Libra (September 23 - October 22)
Lisa advises that, "Balanced giving and receiving are vital this month, Librans. Whether you are over-functioning or under-functioning, adjustments are required. Because you tend to avoid conflict, it can be uncomfortable to speak your truth or hear others out. But you gain real ground toward stronger relationships of all kinds when you do. Now that's an incentive to step out of your comfort zone, right?
"Because misplaced anger is an issue this month, be sure to include your feelings and join others in sharing real emotions. No watching from the sidelines with your intellect in the driver's seat. Instead, help create a safe space to speak what you feel from a neutral place. You can ask questions and help clarify what is actually going on as a natural moderator. Investigate what irritates you, too. Injustice needs to be met with justice, and you help make that happen, one good conversation at a time. It becomes a sorting process to help organize messy emotions without being too fussy. Just bring yourself to the conversation and it's already more attractive."
To help with organizing messy emotions this month, why not invest in these drawer organizers? The set comes with 25 pieces in 4 different sizes, and you can use them in your desk, bedroom, bathroom, or anywhere you want some order. They also come in green, clear, white, and black colorways.
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)
When it comes to Scorpios, Lisa says, "You are better at sussing out people's underground emotional storms than most. What's most needed this month is your ability to reparent the deep wounds inside of you around anger and boundaries. Those places where you felt unseen and unsupported in your younger years require your attention over the next few weeks. Your system is likely hyper-vigilant, which ensured survival but keeps people at a safe distance. The person who's trust you need most is your own. Not to sniff out more danger (which you instinctively do) but to sit with your younger self that felt alone.
"Why not find a picture of yourself at the age when you felt most unsafe and on guard? Put it in a place of honor at home and give it a nod throughout the day. It's as if you sent your adult self back to keep you company when no one else did. This creates a powerful shift towards allowing yourself to get closer to others without feeling too vulnerable. Because you've got your own back and physically remind yourself of that each time you give that picture a nod, it brings light to those dark corners in your memory and helps set you free of unnecessary caution. You can make yourself safe enough to connect even more with those you love."
Lighten your dark corners with this this interactive journal of exploration. It guides you through the hidden aspects of your psyche so you can confront and embrace your shadow self, get "unstuck," and embrace clarity in your life.
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 19)
"Ouch, Archers," Greenfield begins, "ego inflation this month will cost you more than you gain. Here's the thing: ego helps hold us together when we are in unfamiliar territory and not sure of ourselves. So it has a job to do. Just don't give it too much unchecked power. This is a month where conflict is easily provoked. It's too easy to justify bad behavior, and right now, that's going to mean you lose more than you benefit. Who wants that? So when you find yourself in peacock mode, step back. Slip into comfy shoes, not runners, so you don't sprint past those dismissed insecurities. You won't need arrogance, because you've got skills. Portable skills at that.
"So, do a quick checklist of what you've already handled that prepared you for new terrain. Take a good long look at the landscape before you—no action yet. When you do that, you head off unnecessary battles with someone you might offend without even realizing it. Hint: that person you're flirting with may not be available…are you? You don't need a new conquest to prove you're adorable. When you take stock of what you already have that's worth admiration, you swap ego for confidence. That's a good trade, anytime and anywhere."
Slip into these comfy, casual shoes, Archers, after all they have a contoured sole with great arch support. They're a steal at this price, and look more expensive than they are. The faux leather straps are adjustable, the cork footbed is flexible, and you can grab them in 12 colors.
Capricorn (December 20 - January 19)
Capricorns, Lisa reports that "This month, you get ahead when you are willing to give up what doesn't serve the current situation. Watch out for attachment to roles or positions for security. Remember, the position doesn't define you; you define any position! Your head can jump in front of what your heart says to feel more secure in any dispute, but the goal is less about winning than it is about discovery. By letting another have their day, you discover what evolves beyond your carefully carved-out position. Hint: there are good things waiting.
"You've gotten so comfortable with the current status quo that you may not have noticed you've got more to offer than that comfortably familiar position. So, no need to go ballistic on someone who challenges your norm. They may well turn out to be the jailer come to open the prison doors. Pop the lock that keeps you in a safe space without blowing the roof off in the process. Let those emotions help you suss out the new shape for those big feelings and emerge from the old outlines. The success you discover will outshine anything you've already done when you do."
Break free of your "safe space" with this lock and key necklace. It's made of stainless steel with a thick, 24-inch chain, and the removable key opens the heart pendant. Snag it in a variety of shapes, colors, and sizes.
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)
Lisa points out, "You water bearers are known to keep your cool while those around you lose theirs. This month, you can put that to good advantage by cutting through emotional fog to help identify underlying conflicts. You're in the process of shedding your old life, and the new one hasn't emerged completely yet, making this month feel a bit turbulent both inside and out. Like the butterfly's struggle to emerge from its cocoon, this process builds strength so it can fly. Similarly, disputes this month can help you grow strong and lift off.
"Work seems to have a bit less tension than the personal arena, but the key to resolving disputes is to ask yourself: who do you want to be in this conflict? If there is a winner and loser in that picture in your head, stop. That's a teeter-totter that goes nowhere. Learning is a snap for you this month. So study the difference between the fighting style that evolved over time and what you'd rather have now. There are ways to disagree that can benefit everyone. Now that's a bonanza when you muscle up on that skill. Why not leave the ups and downs of winners and losers and move over to the endless abundance where everyone wins? You're actually a natural at it when you try."
To help you "shed" that which you don't need, Lisa recommends a lint remover. Backed by 93,000 5-star reviews, this popular option works effectively on cotton and synthetic fibers, to wool and more delicate materials. It runs on 2 AA batteries (not included), and features 3 shaving heights, 2 speeds, and 3 shaving hole sizes for different types of fabric and lint sizes.
Pisces (February 19 - March 20)
Greenfield reports, "Saturn is retrograde and works in your favor, helping you feel the depth of your emotions and speak your truth. You have an ambivalent approach to anger, no surprise for a water creature. The astrology this month helps you recognize your strength in conflict. There may be back-and-forth with coworkers, helping you straighten your back, speak your truth, and trust that you can deliver unpleasant truths better than most. Saturn sits with your Sun and gives you the structure to have those hard conversations. This will continue for a few months, so you get time to practice. No need for perfectionism to spoil the party. Imperfect is beautiful!
"Personal relationships especially benefit from those deeper conversations, especially as you keep that motto in mind: Imperfect is beautiful! These relationships are the canvas for your view of things, see any emotion as part of a stunning landscape. Who would have thought that big feelings could create such an enchanting scene? They can when you turn your attention to it. If it helps, put together a soundtrack to express all that comes up for you. Those sensitive ears of yours love an inspiring track to adjust by, right? After all, your life is the movie and you are its Star!"
Pump up your most inspiring track, Pisces, with this retro bluetooth speaker. Measuring only 2.8 x 4.3 x 2 inches, it's tiny, but mighty, and you can connect it to your phone for 6 hours of playtime.
Aries (March 21 - April 18)
Greenfield explains, "With the planets moving through Cancer to your fiery Sun, you may find yourself treading on others' tender toes this month. Even if you do it innocently, it still hurts. So your choice this month is to take responsibility for the effect you have on outcomes or face an uphill battle when others yell "ouch." It doesn't make you a bad person. You are quick to flare up and quick to move on, but others are not. The Universe asks you to include a little more consideration for your impact as you operate, especially this month.
"Learning requires effort these next few weeks, so you have to choose to apply yourself. Tact and patience go a long way to ease tensions and conflict. So does a little forethought. You are so good in action, but now you need to focus on more prep time to make what you offer more engaging for others. When you decide to invest effort, the results are much more appealing! Even short strategic pauses go a long way toward making you feel better, do better, and get better results. Doesn't that sound more fun than cleaning up debris from unintended damage you may have caused? Besides, once you've done that, you are bound to help open up new adventures for all those around you. You're a born instigator. This is just an adjustment to make sure you keep the best people along for the ride."
Clean up any excess debris in your life with the Shark WANDVAC. I've raved about this cordless handheld vacuum before. It only weighs 1.4 pounds, plus it's sleek, powerful, and the charging station makes it easy to pick up quick messes on the fly.
Taurus (April 19 - May 20)
According to Lisa, "Of all the signs, you have the easiest time slipping back into old habits this month, Bulls. It's tempting to do what you've always done, especially in times of change. It can also sidestep the conflict brewing this month. Yet those intersections of change can only be delayed, not denied. The more you dig into safe space, the more pressure is required to get you out of the status quo. It's no fun to have to apply yourself when it's summertime and people are out playing. Yet when you do, the payoff is substantial. Let that be a tempting incentive to do some work on yourself.
"Keep in mind that the cost goes up the more you refuse to take on the challenges to try new things or old things in a new way. Try this: make a game out of taking the right risks. Use your body to help decide what is a match for you and what isn't. A yes vote feels relaxed, open, and leaning forward. A no or not yet vote is more closed, tightened, or leaning back. Undecided is a neutral posture that doesn't lean in any direction. If that doesn't work, try playful methods to seek guidance, and pay attention to how your body responds. It's not a life strategy, but it does build body wisdom to help you show up for any difficult conversations feeling better about yourself."
With a near-perfect 4.9-star rating from over 21,000 Amazon reviewers, this tarot deck is a popular option.The imagery on the cards are beautiful and modern with the contexts updated, and include a mix of tarot and witchcraft. One reviewer raved, "I love these cards. I love how they are updated into today Generation, but still kept the essence of the traditional tarot."
Gemini (May 21 - June 20)
Get ready, Gemini. Lisa reports, "With Jupiter in your sign, you're experiencing an abundance of just about everything. This is fantastic when it aligns with your preferences. However, when it brings forth something less favorable, it can be challenging, wouldn't you agree? When it comes to conflicts, expressing your thoughts comes naturally to you, more so than to most people. Yet, navigating emotions poses a greater challenge. You have a knack for verbalizing and mediating conflicts, yet emotions often demand attention. External circumstances might prod you to confront these emotions head-on. Once surfaced, you have the opportunity to engage with them on your terms. How you interpret and utilize this emotional information is entirely up to you.
"Think of it as managing a dashboard: anger signals boundary-setting, sadness reflects a sense of loss, and resentment often indicates unfulfilled desires mirrored in others' actions. It's time to actively participate. These feelings carry valuable insights and serve a purpose in your journey. Consider aligning your outward expression with your inner landscape; perhaps adjusting your wardrobe to match your moods. Refresh your closet or add new pieces and make a statement to the world—you can wear your emotions as boldly as your attire!"
