Madam Kighal's Astrology

It's warming up, and we're not just talking about the weather. The Sun moves into cozy Cancer on June 21, 2015, which also marks the Summer Solstice. And all that sentimental sunshine should warm our hearts for the next month, too!

Life is sweet while the Sun is in Cancer, the zodiac sign closely associated with home, family and feelings. Cancer is a deeply sensitive and emotional sign, ruled by the Moon, so we're likely to feel more caring (and cared for) during this time.

Those born from June 18-24 were born on the Gemini-Cancer cusp, and those born from about July 19-24 were born on the Cancer-Leo cusp. Being born on the cusp simply means that you were born during the transition time between two zodiac signs, so you retain some qualities from each sign.

Celebrate by making the most of life during

Sun in Cancer

What to do:

Cancer loves nesting, so spend more time with family and close friends this month. Cook dinner together, do crafts or cuddle up on the couch with a good movie.

What to say:

"I love you" sounds sweetest while the Sun is shining in Cancer and tender feelings are felt universally. If you've been waiting to say it, say it now!

Where to go:

Nowhere. Cancer craves security, so stick close to home and enjoy summertime in your own backyard. Even better, host a big barbecue to make your friends and family feel loved.

What to wear:

Jammies! Cancer loves getting cozy. OK, but if you must get dressed, choose Cancer colors white or yellow, and decorate yourself with the Crab's signature pearls or silver jewelry.

What to buy:

A kitten! The Sun moves into Cancer during June, which is National Cat Month, and Cancer is the most nurturing sign. Adopt a sweet little kitty and feel the love of being a pet parent.

What to watch out for:

Mood swings. Cancer is an emotional sign, so while there are many highs this month, you might also be extra sensitive, which can bring on a bad mood fast. This is why it's even wiser to stay home and cuddle up with your closest peeps while the Sun is in Cancer.

What to look forward to:

Intimacy. Sun in Cancer is a beautiful, tender and sentimental time to enjoy with all your heart. Feel the feelings and love the love, it only gets this sweet once a year!

WEEKLY FORECAST

Monday, June 22: Jupiter trine Uranus

On Monday Jupiter, the planet of gifts and expansion, will be at a gorgeous trine to Uranus, the planet of sudden change. Since Jupiter is linking up in such a happy way to Uranus you can anticipate a positive boost of luck in your life. Whatever the details of your personal situation are, this lucky break will appear to come out of nowhere and in an instant. Savor it!

Tuesday, June 23: Mercury square Neptune

On Tuesday, it'll be one of those days when you might want to pretend you have laryngitis. Mercury will be square Neptune, confusing thoughts and prompting you to fumble a lot more with your words. Since your mind may be cloudier than usual, it's not recommended that you sign contracts or make a vital decision on this day. Mercury connected to Neptune is far better suited for activities that require your imagination -- or to simply check out in fantasyland.

Wednesday, June 24: Mars enters Cancer

On Wednesday Mars will enter Cancer, the sign of home and hearth. Mars is the planet of war and assertive drive, and now he'll be in a watery, emotional sign he's not exactly comfy in. The good news of Mars in Cancer is that you'll feel motivated to connect more with your clan and to work on any home-related repairs. The not-so-good news is that your fighting instinct won't have a direct route, and as a result passive-aggressive behavior might run rampant. Do your best to keep it in check and if you see it from others, call them out on it.
