Hey there, it’s Cancer season again! Happy Solar Return, Cancerian Rebels!
While many of us think of the crab zodiac sign when we hear the word "Cancer," the season also brings up memories and emotions for those affected by cancer in their lives. Whether you are a cancer survivor, caregiver, or simply dealing with the stress and anxiety that Cancer season can bring, we've got you covered with our Cancer Season Survival Guide. Keep reading for our tips on how to navigate the emotional rollercoaster during this time.
Buckle up for some emotional turbulence
Cancer Season is known for bringing emotional turbulence for some. Hopefully, the energy of Gemini Season will mentally prepare you to handle the emotional ups and downs that come with this season.
Cancerians embody the element of water along with Scorpio and Pisces, with their motto being "I FEEL". Cancers feel EVERYTHING. As you may know, Water represents emotions, holds memories, and has healing properties. Water signs are naturally intuitive and shape-shifting. Water is known to absorb energy from people, places, and things around them which can be extremely draining for water signs, especially Cancerians.
Cancerians are cardinal signs who are emotionally-driven leaders. They tend to push the emotional limits of leadership and communication. They are usually led to heart-centered careers in which they are able to help others. Water signs can sometimes lack direction, feel listless, or feel lost in decision-making areas as their moods can fluctuate often giving them the trait of also being moody leaders. However, as a Cardinal water sign, Cancerians don't hesitate when their mind is made up about doing something important to them; especially if it is dealing with the home or family. One thing about it, Cancerians are nobody's pushover. They tend to embody a wounded warrior spirit and will fight for what they feel is essential to their overall well-being.
In Astrology, Cancerians are ruled by the Moon and also rule the fourth house of Origins (Home, and Family). They tend to be introverted at times, loving the comforts of the familiar and a close circle of family and friends. With the Moon as their ruling planet, concerns tend to understand the emotions of others and feel everything empathically. Their challenge is to observe and not absorb too many emotions at once as this can cause low energy and bad health.
Cancer Season can be emotionally challenging, but with the right tools and support, it is possible to navigate the emotional rollercoaster. Remember to prioritize self-care, seek support, and seek professional help when needed.

Don’t forget to seek professional help if needed
Cancer Season can be a challenging time emotionally, and it's okay to ask for help. If you find that you are struggling to manage your emotions or are experiencing symptoms of depression or anxiety, seeking professional help is the best course of action.
Professional support can come in many forms, including alternative wellness, therapy or counseling, support groups, and even medication if needed. A mental health professional or alternative health professional can provide guidance on how to manage and cope, and help you develop a plan for self-care and emotional well-being.
Remember, seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. It takes courage to acknowledge when you need support, and taking steps to prioritize your mental health is essential for overall well-being.
