A Note on Zodiac Timing
In tropical astrology, which is widely used in Western horoscopes, the Sun's entry into Cancer is based on the solstice point and remains relatively consistent from year to year. The exact transition moment can vary by a day, which is why consulting a current astrological calendar is recommended for precise timing.
The Cancer season invites us all to turn inward, cherish our loved ones, and listen to the gentle guidance of our intuition.
