As the cosmic currents shift and the sun enters the nurturing waters of Cancer, we find ourselves enveloped in a tide of sensitivity, intuition, and emotional depth. Cancer season spans from approximately June 21st to July 22nd. As the fourth sign of the zodiac, it is ruled by the moon which governs the ebb and flow of emotions, intuition, and subconscious tendencies. The moon cycle invites us to journey inward, reconnecting with our roots and embracing the nurturing embrace of home and family. Represented by the Crab, Cancer embodies the protective instinct, the gentle ebb and flow of the tides, and the profound bond of love and loyalty.
The Symbolism of the Crab in the Zodiac:
The Crab serves as the symbol for Cancer due to its protective shell and its association with the element of water, which mirrors Cancer's intuitive and emotional nature. The Crab's ability to navigate both land and sea reflects Cancer's adaptability and resilience in navigating the ebbs and flows of life.
In mythology, the Crab is often linked to the story of Hercules and the Twelve Labors, where it plays a pivotal role in the battle between Hercules and the Hydra. The Crab's tenacity and willingness to stand its ground, even against a formidable opponent, echo Cancer's fierce loyalty and protective instincts when it comes to defending those they hold dear.
How Cancer Season Nurtures Us:
Ruled by the Moon, Cancer season is a time of deep emotional introspection, nurturing, and connection with our inner selves and loved ones. The gentle influence of Cancer encourages us to prioritize self-care, seek comfort in familiar surroundings, and strengthen bonds with family and close friends. Should you be a moon aficionado, we invite you to be mesmerized by its beauty in a Mova Globe for meditation and ambiance.
