Cancer Season
The Start of the Fourth Astrological Sign
When Does the Cancer Zodiac Begin?
The Sun's journey through the zodiac marks the transition of seasons and energies. The sign of Cancer, symbolized by the Crab, begins its reign when the Sun enters its celestial domain. This period is characterized by a shift in focus towards home, emotion, intuition, and nurturing.
Cancer is the first Water sign of the zodiac cycle, initiating a phase of deep feeling and sensitivity. Its beginning is a time to turn inward, protect what we cherish, and connect with our foundational roots.
