All Signs:
As the Sun journeys through the nurturing waters of Cancer, it brings with it a gentle, kind energy that encourages us to slow down and tune in to our inner world. Home and family matters come to the forefront and the need for security increases. Pay attention to the feelings that arise because they can act as guides to what needs attention and healing. Consider what makes your home feel like a sanctuary — is it the presence of loved ones, the way you’ve decorated your space or the routines and rituals that bring you comfort? Focus on creating a home environment where you can relax and rejuvenate. The Full Moon in Capricorn on July 21 brings a swell of energy and heightened emotions urging us to find a balance between personal needs and professional responsibilities. This is an opportunity to ground ourselves, reassess our goals, and focus on realistic expectations.
