Cancer season starts June 21, time for the moon-ruled crabs of the zodiac to party and revel in their natural cosmic element (and enjoy their birthday).
Time for the rest of us to enjoy the positive Cancer-y vibes this season amplifies – self care, healing, nurturing, intuitive feeling and decision-making, relationship building, connection and intimacy.
Cancers are intensely emotionally intelligent, they know themselves well, and they take good care of themselves. Copy this trait and bring self care and healing to the top of your agenda.
Let the tarot give you a nudge as to what your self care and nurturing priority has to be right now!

Tarot card for Aries for Cancer season: Eight of Swords
Meaning: The Eight of Swords shows you that you are your own worst enemy and the good news here is that this means you can correct that, yourself, off your own bat.
Look at the ways you talk negatively to yourself, repeat bad patterns or habits even when you know the end result will hurt you, or continue to follow paths of least resistance out of laziness or pure inertia.
Spot your own self sabotage, call it out, talk about it, make a plan to replace and substitute these behaviours with better ones. Be your own best friend!

Tarot card for Taurus for Cancer season: Queen of Coins
Meaning: Give your diet and exercise regimes and habits a little makeover this Cancer season. Your health and wellbeing is so dependent on what fuel you give your body and how much, or often, you move it.
The Queen of Coins is a practical go-getter, she advises you to set a goal, and create a plan to achieve it. Don’t bother with things you know you don’t enjoy or won’t stick to.
Make small tweaks, growing changes, easy swaps, add pleasant activities you find fun. Take charge and take control and feel good about your body.

Gemini

Tarot card for Gemini for Cancer season: Seven of Wands
Meaning: You need an ally, a competitor, a person who pushes you on a bit and makes you do the right thing for yourself… when your inner ‘naughty twin’ has other ideas!
The Americans might call it an ‘accountability coach’, and maybe that’s a bit formal but you need an ally to help you do what’s right your mind, body and spirit right now.
The Seven of Wands sees you battling some unhealthy habits or patterns, you can only do so much alone, you need support and help and someone to care about it.

Tarot card for Cancer for Cancer season: Queen of Cups
Meaning: What a surprise! It’s your season and you receive the tarot’s self care Queen herself, the Queen of Cups.
Cancer, go full on in your quest to pamper, indulge, take good care of, and nurture yourself and your wellbeing. Eat well, drink plenty, rest up, seek relaxation, be inspired, educate yourself, surround yourself with kind people, be good to others, take time off, go to bed early, watch the dawn, play with animals, write letters, dance often, play your best tunes.
Make every day a pleasing one. Look for ways to take care of yourself in every hour of every day. Put your needs first. Use this Cancer season to restore your spirits.

Tarot card for Leo for Cancer season: Six of Cups
Meaning: Self care comes in the form of returning to your childhood passions and affections – be they people, places, play, hobbies, talents, or interests.
As adults, we often find ourselves winding our way back to our younger (authentic?) self. Do that this Cancer season.
The Six of Cups is an invitation to Memory Lane, a positive one, a time to reinstate things you miss and ideas that still have relevance and power in the present day. Let your inner child out to play.

Tarot card for Virgo for Cancer season: Six of Swords
Meaning: You need to get that Six of Swords chopper and cut away some dead wood and dead weight. You have carried on helping, serving, doing, and committing in places that you needn’t.
People take you for granted. People can do stuff themselves but are letting you carry on delivering. You don’t need to do it and, in fact, you shouldn’t.
Your greatest self care priority this Cancer season is to refocus and cut back on the stuff that you can ditch, delegate or delay. Let others do their share!

Tarot card for Libra for Cancer season: Seven of Swords
Meaning: The Seven of Swords always hints at shady people, unwholesome activity, secrets, general skullduggery.
Libra, remove yourself from any circles, situations, entanglements, or deals that don’t feel quite right. Your instincts are correct and are trying to steer you away from trouble in the future.
Your self care priority this Cancer season is to surround yourself with those you trust, invest in things you believe in and know well, and always do the right thing. Sleep comes easy with a clear conscience.

Tarot card for Scorpio for Cancer season: The Hermit
Meaning: You are a solo player. You enjoy your own company. You take refuge in retreat. You don’t need other people like other people do!
The Hermit gives you full permission to withdraw to your private kingdom and invest your powers and energy into something personal, complex, fascinating, and enlightening.
You want to learn, expand, explore, and be educated in something inspiring. You want to do this by yourself. You want to prove something. Go do it.

Tarot card for Sagittarius for Cancer season: Judgment
Meaning: This Cancer season, you are going to receive a genuine wake-up call when it comes to seeing yourself as you truly are.
Judgment is a honest mirror. Judgment lets you step away from comparison, envy, and point-scoring with others. Judgment celebrates who you are, fully and all the way through to the bottom.
You are unique, special, different, a one off. Be yourself. Appreciate your talents and strengths. Work with what you’ve got. Stop looking over there to fixate on what they are doing, doesn’t matter, it’s all about you.

Surgically remove things from your life that hurt you. Withdraw from shadow. Retreat from battles. Relinquish failed ambitions. Release toxic relationships. Clear the decks of the sources of pain. You have endured so much for so long. Enough!

Tarot card for Aquarius for Cancer season: Ten of Coins
Meaning: Put your efforts into the long game, into the long run, into the far-off future that you’re working so hard on building. Don’t sweat the small stuff, don’t whittle over details, don’t let yourself get too embroiled in momentary squabbles and stresses.
The Ten of Coins shows you will fare better and feel stronger when you only invest precious time and energy in the things you’re building for the future, in the things that are here to stay. Let the petty stuff go altogether, it will take care of itself!

Tarot card for Pisces for Cancer season: Temperance
Meaning: Relax, surrender, focus on less action and more reflection. Temperance shows you’re seeking balance and moderation, hoping to find your feet again after a change or period of flux.
Get grounded. Things have changed and you’re just mentally and emotionally ‘catching up’. It’s okay, give yourself space and time to do so.
You will feel more settled and secure when you accept how everything is now. There’s a time for action and change, but this is not it. Just rebalance.
