Welcome Cancer Season
Welcome Cancer Season
Hey, there Magical Beings!!
Welcome to Cancer Season, the first introduction to the water signs in the astrological year.
I like to refer to the Sign of Cancer as the Mommy of the zodiac because she comes in with this gentle reassurance that lets us know all will be well, as long as we don’t let our emotions get the best of us and continue to follow through with the goals we set out at the beginning of Aries Season.
Cancer Season also kicks off our summer months. The time of year, when we can start to see just how these goals are starting to manifest! In the wheel of the year, this time of year is also known as the Mother phase.
When we look around us everything is lush and pregnant with possibilities. So it’s an important time to really be paying attention to what we are nurturing in our lives.
Make sure to take some time this week to reground into your intentions, refresh or perhaps create an altar and of course, get into this watery element by connecting with water some way.
If you want to go deeper, you can pull out some Tarot, get connected with Selkies or Mermain energy, sit with some water lilies or hang out with some crystal babies.
Of course if you feel you need a guiding hand to help you with any of this That Witch Karena can help. Book in for A Tarot or Musing Session to get you clear-headed this Cancer Season.

Working With Tarot This Season
When working with Tarot this season its important to remember that Cancer Babies are ruled by the Moon. So naturally when deciding which cards to highlight for Cancer season we need to bring out The Moon Card. I have really fallen in love with “This Might Hurt” Tarot deck by Isabella Rotman. Its holds the mystical & intuitive artwork that Pamela Coleman Smith put into the OG RWS decks, while bringing in the intersectionality we all crave. If you are looking for a deck that captures essence of real life and its ups and downs, as well as the diverse world we live in, this may be your deck.
The other card whom we can’t go without this cancer season is The Queen of Cups. Said to be the most intuitive queen of the whole lot of them in the Tarot world. She will surely blow you away with the way she seamlessly picks up on your emotions and effortlessly brings them to a place of alchemy for you.
A balanced version of The Queen of Cups is much like the Moon card that illuminates our shadow side, and asks us to bring them to the light, its important for all of us to remember this season that we only truly hold the emotions that are ours to hold.
Its ok to want to help someone through a hard time, but make sure you do so with boundaries so you don’t get sucked into someone else vortex, and are left feeling like you don’t know which way is up or down. AKA the shadow side of the Queen of Cups is that she will often loose herself in others, and need to completely detach in order to discover her true essence again. Emotional Boundaries are the name of the game this season.
To help you tap into this energy give this Tarot/Journal prompts a try
How can I embody my “shadow” emotions this season. for example Anger, Sorrow, Shame. For some folks this could be joy
What does my inner Queen of Cups want me to know
What journey can I look forward to as I tap into my inner moon
Connecting To Selkie Energy
Selkies are known to be some of the most beautiful creatures in and around the seas.
This season tap into your inner selkie and lure your partners in by stepping out of your comfort zone.
Send the flirty text.
Make a playlist that reminds you of your manifestations and play it to attract its energy.
Draw, Paint or Wrote poetry
Speak your truth and see who comes around. This is a great way to see who is here for your emotional boundaries and who isn.t
Crystal Power
Celestite is the crystal form of the Selkie to me. The first time I saw her she called me in, and I knew it didn’t matter how much she was, I needed her.
This crystal is great to work with if you are looking to connect deeper to your third ey, bring more harmony into your life and radiates good fortune.
To attune or use its energy, sit with it hands, or lap. Meditate with some ocean noises in the background and allow this crystal to take you away. It will show you where you need to enter the caves of your heart so you can align with your deepest desires.
To carry its essence with you throughout the day use the affirmations
“I walk with faith & harmony to align to my highest good”
I hope this little snapshot into cancer season and how it can help you align and nurture your intentions helps you along your witching journey.
Be well Witches
