Running from June 21 to July 22, Cancer season is all about connecting with people you love (awww), while also dreaming about the things you want out of life. Here’s what else you can expect this season, according to Donna Page, a certified astrologer.

What does Cancer season mean for your sign?
Cancer is a water sign, which means it's fluid and constantly moving (like, ya know, water), Page explains. During Cancer season, you’re more likely to waver between what’s happening in reality and what’s going down in your imagination. Basically, it's prime time for some emotional flip-flopping. (Fun!)
First, the good stuff: Cancer season has a heavy focus on surrounding yourself with loved ones. "It’s super strong for wanting to connect with friends and family," Page says. Suddenly, you might have a craving for an old-school trip to the lake with your fam or a special night with just the girls. Whatever it is, spending time with the people you love will help you feel blissed-out and recharge your batteries.
Still, since this is an emotional time, some pretty intense stuff can follow those warm and fuzzy feels. "There’s a big dream energy that’s very powerful," Page explains. "You’ll have a deep desire to have the ideal life. You’ll want more opportunities and wonder why they’re not there." That can make you feel frustrated AF when everything you've dreamed up doesn't just magically happen.
Unfortunately, Page says this can seep into all areas of your life—relationships, career, living situation, etc. "Sometimes it can stir up resentment, jealousy, or frustration that it’s taking effort or work to get what you want," she cautions. (Deep breaths, y'all.)
These feelings shower down for everyone, but Page says Cancer, Gemini, and Capricorn will feel this season the strongest.
How will Cancer season affect the rest of your year?
It kinda depends on how you react to the urges you have during Cancer season. More than anything else, it's an awesome time to tighten your bonds with the people you love and wrap yourself in all the warm-fuzzy feelings that come with that.
But if you get bogged down with focusing on what you don’t have in life, you could end up phoning it in at work or picking fights with your S.O.—and that won't lead to anything good.
Instead, try channeling that frustration into motivation (think Elle Woods' study montage in Legally Blonde), like looking for a new job or talking with your partner about what’s **actually** pissing you off. By putting in the #werk, you can actually come out the other side a better, more fulfilled person. Or, at least, that’s the goal. Why not go for it with everything ya got?
What’s the next zodiac season?
Next up is Leo season, which kicks off on July 23. That can make you feel fiery, and more than a few diva moments might crop up. Until then, spend some time revelling in the QT spent with your family and friends.
