Are you ready to get this party started? The summer solstice coincides with the sun entering Cancer on Friday, June 20, 2025, at 10:42 p.m. ET. Cancer season marks the beginning of everyone's favorite season. What makes this time so special is the underlying lunar influence. The sun will answer to the moon, Cancer's planetary ruler. Luna's subconscious influences Cancer season to be more sensitive. You will feel deeply attuned to the world around you. Nothing is too small, as your emotions and intuition will play a significant role throughout Cancer season. Honor your feelings as they come up, since Cancer season promises to be a sentimental period.
Don't overthink it, as Jupiter in Cancer motivates Mars in Virgo on June 22. Having a meticulous plan is preferred, but not necessarily. You have enough information to move forward with your goals, ambitions, or desires. As long as you are flexible and hopeful, the rest will fall into place as you advance. However, you should anticipate some backlash from authority figures and rule-bound structures since the sun in Cancer will be at odds with taskmaster Saturn in Aries. The blockages could temporarily hinder your progress, but this won't stop you. Nothing can deter you if you're confident and brave.
Is this what you want to do? You might feel momentarily unsure of your next steps, as Neptune in Aries disarms the sun in Cancer on June 23. Self-doubt will creep in, causing you to second-guess your intentions and goals. There might also be uncertainty surrounding self-led projects, asserting yourself, and determining if someone is angry with you. Don't give these worries too much life.
Any lingering insecurities, doubts, and more will be washed away, as Jupiter in Cancer becomes one with the sun in Cancer on June 24. This cosmic energy is known as a Jupiter cazimi, which is a highly auspicious transit. You will feel more certain of your path, especially if there is a direct sign or omen that confirms what you already intuited. Stop worrying; you're right where you need to be.
An auspicious new beginning will unfold when the new moon in Cancer rises on June 25, 2025, at 6:31 a.m. ET, which will occur at 4 degrees. New moons are a special portal for setting intentions. Anything you desire could materialize throughout the new six-month cycle. Serendipitous opportunities will happen, because the new moon in Cancer will be in cahoots with exalted Jupiter. Use this energy wisely to manifest significant changes in your home and family.
Oh, the drama! Every interaction, thought, and comment will have a larger-than-life personality when Mercury enters Leo on June 26. You'll want to scream, 'That's my opinion!' in almost every conversation you have. But Mercury in Leo isn't always fussy. The cosmic messenger can also be intellectually generous, charming, and expressive. Speaking up from the heart will be easier, as Mercury in Leo gives you the courage to say what's on your mind. However, this could also lead to drama, so be careful.
Fateful opportunities around how you handle your relationships will also arise, as Venus in Taurus meets with the North Node of Fate and the South Node of Karma on June 26. You could return to your old habits and ways or choose something new. Leaving your old ways behind won't be stressful, since trying something new will be easier than you think. You might realize that you were ready for a change of pace all along.
Multiple eye-opening conversations and revelations will shock you, as Mercury in Leo meets Saturn in Aries, Neptune in Aries, and Pluto retrograde in Aquarius from June 27 to June 29. These back-to-back transits will have your head spinning. You won't know what to make heads or tails with the information coming to light just yet. Don't worry. Everything coming up now will make more sense over the next few weeks, as the pre-shadow phase for the next Mercury retrograde goes into effect on June 30. Give it some time; all the moving parts will come together in the end.
Mark July 4 in your calendar, because this is one of the biggest days in Cancer season. To start, Neptune will station retrograde in Aries, which will occur at 1 degree. Generally speaking, Neptune retrograde is often a time of clarity. Neptune's fog recedes during retrograde, leaving nothing but the reality of your situation in its wake. You won't be easily confused, disarmed, or unaware during Neptune retrograde. In this case, you will receive more clarity surrounding Aries' themes, such as rage, motivation, ambition, leadership, and libido. Neptune retrograde in Aries may help you understand where you draw your life force from and what ultimately fuels your inner fire.
Next, love and money will take an unexpected turn, as Venus in Taurus meshes with Uranus in Taurus. Usually, Taurus prefers stability, security, and comfort above all else. However, this Venus-Uranus conjunction will inspire change to achieve your desires. You might have to do something big to experience love, feel financially secure, and achieve a lush lifestyle. Be open to making an out-of-character decision since it might lead to what you desire most.
Shortly after the Venus-Uranus conjunction, the goddess of love, money, and beauty will enter Gemini. The ingress won't feel as abrupt, since Venus will still be riding the high of unexpected changes and redirections from the conjunction. Venus in Gemini actually thrives in this somewhat chaotic space. Handling multiple relationships, financial opportunities, and other decisions won't be as jarring. If something unexpectedly ended earlier today, Venus in Gemini will open several new doors for you. Just slow down and breathe to avoid mentally crashing out from how much you're juggling.
Another historic cosmic event will take place on July 7, as Uranus enters Gemini for the first time since 1949. What can you expect from this cosmic energy despite never likely living through it before? Uranus rules over liberation, authenticity, breakthroughs, progressiveness, and chaos. Gemini is associated with communication, duality, adaptability, education, immediate community, and travel. When this planet and this zodiac sign meet, Uranus in Gemini sparks a revolution around how we think, speak, and relate to one another. While this could be great for seeing both sides of the story, Uranus in Gemini could also cause a split down the middle if we cannot learn to talk things out.
Moving forward will never be so easy, as a six-month cycle concludes during the full moon in Capricorn on July 10, 2025, at 4:36 p.m. ET, which will occur at 18 degrees. Full moons represent the end of your hard work, manifestations, and intentions. As this full moon rises, you might feel emotionally dulled. The moon is exiled in Capricorn, implying emotional strength and intuition are considerably weakened. But this isn't a bad thing. You can walk away from the lunar cycle without feeling overwhelmed by what did or didn't happen throughout it.
Do what you feel is right, as the sun in Cancer aspects the North Node of Fate and the South Node of Karma on July 11. Anxiety might initially tamper with your self-assurance. Letting waves of worries wash over you is easier than blindly trusting your intuition, and yet, you won't want to give in to your anxiety. Make a conscious effort to trust that you know what's right for you and your spiritual journey. A hopeful outlook will reinforce what you already know to be true.
Roll it back, as Saturn stations retrograde in Aries on July 13, which will occur at 1 degree. Saturn retrograde usually rescinds power from boundaries, restrictions, authoritative figures, and structures. There will be fewer blockages holding you back from doing whatever you want, but there won't be fewer karmic lessons to learn. Saturn retrograde in Aries will still bestow lessons surrounding assertiveness, ambition, courage, selfishness, and libido. You may be tasked with the opportunity to reconfigure how you advance. It might be time to appreciate the patience and persistence it takes to move forward. Perhaps you need to rise above and assume a leadership role if someone's abusing power. Either way, Saturn retrograde in Aries is your time to break down before building back up.
Chaos will ensue following Mercury retrograde in Leo beginning on July 18, which will occur at 15 degrees. As expected, there will be issues surrounding communication, travel, and technology. But given the current political climate, this Mercury retrograde promises more drama than we can afford. There will be more ego clashes leading to unforgettable showdowns between public figures. Unexplainable technological and travel issues will stem from pride, bravado, and hubris. Aside from this drama, there could be a chance to hear from an old ex or to be the ex that returns during Mercury retrograde. Regardless, tread lightly over the next few weeks.
Cancer season starts on June 20 at 10:42 p.m. ET, launching the summer solstice.
The lover planets–Mars and Venus–will quarrel with the North Node of Fate and the South Node of Karma from July 20 to July 21. You may not know what you want to do with one of your relationships. It might concern a romantic, professional, platonic, or familial partnership. On the one hand, you may want to move forward with your life. On the other hand, you might be unsure how to let this other party know if your actions will impact your relationship. Unfortunately, a tough decision will be made. Will you pick the relationship, or will you pick your destiny?
Although Cancer season ends on July 22, the melodrama will continue well into the next zodiacal season when the sun enters Leo at 9:29 a.m. ET. Brace yourself. Leo season will get off to a rocky start, but thankfully, the cosmic temperament will even throughout midsummer.
