Cancer Season Glamour Guide
Beloved Cancer season is all about comforting softness, simplicity and delicate, ethereal glamour. Think light and beachy vibes like linen pants, loose maxi dresses and beach-tossed hair.
Hello darling Cancer season! Ruled by the Moon, which has historically been associated with the Divine Feminine (feminine referring to receptive and nurturing energies, not gender) across many cultures, Cancer energy is gentle, compassionate, nurturing, empathetic, supportive, safe, and encourages self-care on both the physical and emotional levels.
The arrival of Cancer season in correspondence with the Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year, beautifully illustrates the cardinal aspect of Cancer energy because while it is soft and comforting, it is also determined and always moving forward and thus is the starter of a new season.
Governed by the element of water which rules the emotions and our hearts, this time of year comes with the strongest burst of emotional feeling. Symbolized by the crab, a creature that is hard on the outside and soft on the inside, this representation is also fitting because as a sign that rules over safety and the feeling of home, crabs literally take their homes (shells) with them wherever they go!
In the tarot, the sign of Cancer corresponds to The Chariot major arcana card. To be completely honest, this card association was one of the hardest ones for me to understand because it seemed so contradictory to Cancers energetic associations of empathy, emotional depth and security. However, once I understood its cardinal characteristics, everything clicked into place. Cancer energy is often associated with motherhood and the nurturing and supportive energy of the Divine Feminine but at the same time, there is no energy comparable to that of a mother exhibiting fierce protectiveness over her child. There are no lengths a mother would not go to to provide for and protect their child. With this in mind, Cancer, the crab and the Mother are both the Chariot itself, providing the vehicle and protection that is needed, as well as the Charioteer who is itching to move forward.
