The Sun entered Cancer on June 20, where it will stay for a solid month before exiting on July 21. Cancer is one of the most sentimental and emotional signs of the zodiac. Cancer is known for nurturing strong bonds with friends and family and how much love and care they put into their personal relationships. You may notice yourself feeling a little extra sappy-or maybe even clingy!-this month, so here are a few tips to make the most of the Sun in Cancer:
- Spend quality time with friends and family!
Honestly, we should be doing this all the time! But when the Sun is in Cancer, you might want to plan something special to bring everyone together and prioritize the special people in your life. This is a good excuse to plan a family reunion, take your parents out to dinner, or call up an old friend.
- Say “I love you” to anyone who might need to hear it.
Now is the time to let everyone know how much you care about them. If you’ve been toying with the idea of saying those three little words to a new romantic interest, now might be a good opportunity!
- Stay close to home.
When the Sun is in Cancer, it’s best to avoid planning long trips that will take you away from home and the people you love. You may end up missing them more than you bargained for, which could have a negative impact on your trip.
- Stay comfy and treat yourself.
Wanna stay in your pajamas until noon? Go ahead and be lazy. Wanna take long bubble baths after long days at work? Stock up on bath bombs. Wanna indulge in a box of chocolates and a pint of ice cream? Well, why not? Cancer is a comfort creature, so feel free to indulge.
- Spoil your pets.
Spending lots of time with your family should totally include your four-legged friends. Take your dog for long walks and toss them an extra treat after. Buy your cat lots of catnip and let them curl up next to you in bed. Animals need lots of love, so while the Sun is in Cancer, don’t feel guilty about spoiling them a little bit!
- Watch for mood swings.
The emotions that the Sun in Cancer brings can be beautiful-you may feel overwhelming love, compassion, and empathy for those around you. You may feel more connected to people you thought you were losing touch with. But these highs can be countered with difficult lows, so if you’re feeling rejected or left out, don’t be afraid to let it out and cry-just know how much the people around you truly love you.
- Make special plans with your significant other.
There’s no better time for an extra romantic date night. Stock up on your favorite wine, make a reservation at a fancy restaurant you’ve always wanted to try, get all dressed up, and let the sparks fly!
