Tomorrow, June 21st, is both the Summer Solstice and the first day of this year's Cancer Season. While Cancer's predecessor, Gemini, invites fun and airy energy during its time of the year, this upcoming season focuses on our emotions and serves as a time of reflection. Lasting from June 21st to July 22nd, Cancer season will be a gentle reminder to slow things down, relax, and take time for yourself. Belonging to the 4th house, this time of the year is also useful to center others, by dedicating quality time with them or strengthening these relationships in general.
In order to balance the more tumultuous emotions that may come up this month, Amethyst can serve as an emotional stabilizer in your life. The high frequencies of this stone will soothe your nerves and help you remain calm.
Since self reflection is common during Cancer season, emotional and mental healing will be essential. Moss Agate can help you during this healing journey, by opening you up to inner trauma and guiding you through the mending process.
While Moss Agate aids emotional blockages, Rose Quartz reminds you of the love you need to give to yourself and receive from others. Any emotional turmoil that you may be dealing with this season can be remedied by Rose Quartz providing you with strong, loving energy.
The season of the Crab is a time to spend with friends and family while we slow down and enjoy what's in front of us. Unakite reminds us of the importance of these relationships, while also promoting compromise and communication.
As we attempt to foster new relationships and bond with loved ones, maintaining clear communication with others is essential. It is equally important to understand our own desires and needs during this time. Lapis Lazuli is a great stone to give us both of these properties, so we can move smoothly with other all Cancer season.
Just like crystals, herbs have the ability to bring in specific intentions. Using them in a tea, bath mixture, spell jar, smoke mix, or other rituals can be a great way to bring in the herb's natural properties.
Lemongrass is a great herb for facilitating communication between you and your subconscious. This allows you to better understand yourself, and gives you the confidence to voice your needs to others.
When struggling with self-worth, Rosehip can enhance the love of the self. This herb is great for self-care by allowing you to better appreciate yourself and bringing in self-love.
In order to deepen feelings of relaxation during this month, Lavender is the perfect herb to use in your rituals, baths, and especially teas. Lavender will help soothe the nerves, help you sleep, and allow you to embrace slowing down.
