JULY 2019 Horoscope
Do you trust your instincts?
Cancer season from June 22nd-July 22nd activates our primal subconscious and tests how well we can take care of ourselves. Cancer is the fourth station in the sky, following Gemini in the zodiac calendar; Cancer closes out the season of spring when new life emerged and heralds the season of summer where life becomes established.
It is the time in nature when life forms which left the nest in spring realize they are out there on their own and they must make their own security, and represents for each of us our inborn ability for self-preservation. Cancer season amplifies the instincts that ensure our survival needs get met, that we are safely protected from distress, and that we’re aware of what’s happening with those in our surroundings.
If you reflect on the biggest mistakes in life, many of them happen when you’re not paying attention to your real feelings—or worse, when you’re trying to override your gut responses. Most people describe this sense of inner knowing as ‘intuition’, ‘having a feeling’, ‘following a hunch’, or ‘listening to that little voice inside’. It’s this part of ourselves that seems beyond rational thought, yet is often strikingly accurate. The planetary arrangements during Cancer season highlight the areas of your life where you may need to listen to your intuition and provide a bit more care.
