Tuesday Tea: Cancer Season

Get ready to cry, cuddle, and cling — because Cancer Season is officially upon us!

From June 21 to July 22, the zodiac takes a deep dive into emotional waters. Ruled by the Moon, Cancers are intuitive, sensitive, and fiercely protective. But don’t get it twisted — this sign isn’t just about tears and feelings. There’s more to a Cancer than meets the eye (or tear duct).

Whether you’re a Cancer, dating one, friends with one, or simply trying to survive this watery emotional wave, here’s a quick crash course in Cancer energy and what to watch out for.

🦀 Common Traits of a Cancer

1. Emotional AF (but in a good way)

Cancers feel. Everything. Deeply.

They absorb emotions like sponges — theirs, yours, even the barista’s at Starbucks.

It makes them incredibly empathetic and nurturing. But when they’re hurt? Oh honey, you’ll know. Cancers don’t just cry in the rain — they’ll build a playlist, write a poem, and cry in the bathtub while thinking about childhood memories.

2. Loyal to the Bone

One of the most loyal signs in the zodiac. When a Cancer loves you, they love HARD. Whether as a partner or a friend, they’ll ride or die… and then still check on you three years after your breakup.

But cross them? Good luck getting back in. These crabs know how to shut down and retreat into their shell faster than you can say “It wasn’t that deep.”

3. Homebodies With a Creative Streak

Cancers are the ultimate nesters. Home is where their heart is — and where they recharge. Think cozy nights in, cooking something emotional, and watching sad movies “just because.”

But don’t sleep on their creativity! Most Cancers are quietly brilliant — painters, poets, designers, dreamers. Their emotions become art.

🚩 What to Watch Out For

Every sign has its shadows, and Cancers aren’t exempt. Here’s what to be aware of when dealing with one:

1. Moody Much?

They’re ruled by the Moon — and just like the Moon, their mood changes phases hourly. One minute they’re baking you cookies, the next they’re ghosting you because of something you said in 2019.

2. Passive-Aggressive Tendencies

Cancers hate confrontation. So instead of telling you what’s wrong, they’ll… sulk. Or give one-word answers. Or post a vague Insta story and hope you "get it."

Just ask. They’ll cry, but at least you’ll get the truth.

3. Overprotective (To a Fault)

Their love language is protection. But sometimes, that turns into control or emotional manipulation — especially when they feel unsafe. They don’t mean to be overbearing… they’re just scared of losing what they love.

How to Survive (and Thrive) in Cancer Season

Allow space for feelings — yours and others.

Don’t suppress emotions — journal, cry, create.

Prioritize your home and comfort — clean your space, light a candle, cook a nostalgic meal.

Check on your Cancer friends — they're probably checking on you too… silently.

In Conclusion…

Cancer Season is like a warm hug — soft, safe, sentimental — but also a little chaotic when emotions spill over. It’s a time for healing, reflecting, and connecting with what matters most: love, home, and heart.

So if you're feeling a little extra mushy lately? Blame the Moon. 🌕
