DO: Welcome New Beginnings

Cancer season kicks off during the summer solstice, aka the first day of summer. The seasonal shift is a fresh start, so it's a great time to leave behind things that don't serve you — think old habits or relationships — to make room for new things.

DON’T: Let Your Emotions Control You

While being in tune with your emotions is brave, it's pretty typical to get choked up easily during Cancer season. Be mindful of how you respond to your feelings and others' — avoid letting sensitive emotions call the shots.

Cancer is all about family and the home. Get into the Cancer spirit and focus on bringing more beauty and comfort to your sanctuary. Whether you rearrange your space or visit an antique shop, it's a great time to honor your home by giving it extra TLC.

DON’T: Be Stubborn

Expect some resistance and a bit of stubbornness when Mars, the planet governing passion and impulses, enters stable Taurus on July 4. The headstrong bull is known for being unwavering to a fault, so be considerate of making compromises and keeping an open mind.

DO: Listen To Your Intuition

It's not unusual to notice your borderline psychic abilities during Cancer season, so be sure to keep an open mind when it comes to the feelings you get — good or bad — when around others. Keep a record of the synchronicities and trust your instincts.

DON’T: Get Sucked Into Fantasy

Neptune, the planet of dreams and illusions, goes retrograde on June 28, urging us to indulge in far-off reveries. Ground yourself in nature if you find yourself chronically daydreaming.

DO: Lead With Empathy

Cancers are cardinal water signs who are all about taking action and leading the pack. When it comes to being in charge of projects at work or organizing a summer bonfire, it's important to practice compassion and connect with others on an emotional level.
