Be sure to share the Cancer astrostyle guide with your friends!

Cancer Season runs between June 21st and July 22nd, when the Sun appears directly over the Tropic of Cancer at June’s Solstice. This is the height of Summer, and so we’re invited to take shelter from the heat of the day. Disappear into shady caves and safe harbours, coming out only once the Sun has faded. Here we can dip our toes in the lapping ocean, cooling down by the light of the mysterious moon… Interestingly, almost all crabs are nocturnal, meaning they’re awake at night. Likewise, Cancer feel their way, making sense of subtle outlines, attuned to the dark…

They can be a shoulder to cry on

Like a port in a storm, Cancer can be a sanctuary away from the harshness of the world, with people born during this month bringing comfort and security. These are often caring, motherly types – the bosom of the family, the beating heart of the community, with embracing arms and the warmest hugs on offer. They’re usually ready with genuinely good advice, tea and sympathy (and, are almost guaranteed to have tissues handy for any tears). The nurturers, providers and protectors, you might find them in occupations reflecting their caretaking tendencies. They are the natural-born chefs, hoteliers, innkeepers and bakers, the childminders, doulas, midwives and counsellors, or you might see them working in human resources, someone to turn to in an emotional crisis.

Their kindness is sincere

Ariana Grande, Liv Tyler and Selena Gomez are quintessential Cancers exuding sweetness, all with significant philanthropic achievements that show how much they care, while the late Lady Diana was the beloved ‘people’s princess’, known for her compassionate touch. Remember that each Zodiac Sign resonates with a celestial body, and Cancer is intrinsically linked to the Moon. Fittingly, there is a correlation between the archetypal Moon Goddesses of Roman myth, and the names of iconic Cancerians: Diana, a huntress of the night, and Selene, the personification of the Moon…

They fluctuate, moment to moment

The key thing to realise about your Cancerian friend is that their nature is changeable. Just as Luna waxes and wanes along with the tides, so too does their temperament. Ideally, they’re in touch with their feelings and boast remarkable intuition, possessing ways to read the room with a ‘vibe check’. Or, their sensitivity can overwhelm like a powerful undertow, washing over them and others – yet it can be mastered. Lana Del Rey has a command over her sultry, emotive style, using a melancholy tone to best effect. Try to surf the waves or indulge in ‘Summertime Sadness’, an anthem to get in flow…

Cancer Astrostyle: Can be rebellious

Cancer’s are susceptible to mood swings on par with an adolescent going through growing pains. However, they can embrace their inner teen rebel and make it look good – no matter their age! Debbie Harry, Courtney Love and Tracey Emin veer towards this punk spirit, while Lindsay Lohan, Solange Knowles and Pamela Anderson have found their own way with style. They stay true to their instincts, rather than play to public perception.

Their exterior can be impenetrable

Despite being deeply reassuring to others, it can be difficult getting a Crab to open up about themselves. Shy at first, scoping out their environment from the side-lines before they come out of their shell, they can be super low key – H.E.R. [Gabriella Wilson] initially kept her identity under wraps, and still favours a low profile, letting her musical talent speak for itself. Represented by a crustacean of the sea with armour, note the tough impression made by the Cancer person, and their softer side. Meryl Streep is the cutthroat villain in The Devil Wears Prada, yet plays to the characters vulnerability. Anjelica Huston is the stern, aloof matriarch Morticia Addams, who is also a loving and devoted mother… It can take time to gain their trust, so be patient.
