Cancer (May 21 — June 20) and The Chariot

Today, Monday, June 21, 2021, marks the sun’s entrance into Cancer season. Cancer, represented by The Chariot card in the tarot deck, challenges us to triumph over limiting forces, to follow the heart, and asks us to strive for our ideals. It urges us to understand that satisfaction lives as much (if not more) in the process as it exists in the outcome. Remember to assert yourself, be bold, and use your inherent willpower and strength to move you to your next destination. Cancer is a water sign and represented by the suit of Cups in the Tarot. Cups rule the realm of feeling and ask us to both examine and lead with the heart. Cancer and The Chariot support our efforts to take life by the reigns and push forward.

Here are affirmations/mantras to guide each Zodiac sign while the sun is in Cancer.

Affirmations

Aries (March 21 — April 19)

I am a complete being, allowed to feel a broad spectrum of emotions. I am worthy of support. I use my passions and innovation to serve myself and the world around me. I allow myself space and time to process the world and learn at my pace. Let this Cancer season bring me peace and understanding. Wrap me in the benevolent arms of healing. Let me seek community and connection. Bless me with the tools to learn what I need to feel comfortable and at ease with my deepest self. Let me see the strength in my vulnerability. My clarity of vision and strength of character are required if this world is to be at its best. I am a crucial component in my liberation and the liberation of others.

Taurus (April 20 — May 20)

I am a valuable comrade. I am worthy of taking chances and getting out of my comfort zone. I will use my endurance and indomitable spirit to release myself from the shackles of injustice. My keen sense of beauty makes the world more hospitable and inviting. I am a forcefield of dependability who works tirelessly in honor of my vision. Let me harness my sensual energy and lead liberation with the power of physical connection. I intrinsically understand the mind-body connection. When I live in my truth, my efforts are contagious. Like wild clover, I grow wherever planted, spreading fertile hope across the landscape.

Gemini (May 21 — June 20)

I will allow joyousness to envelop me. My humor and ability to learn are contagious. When it comes to ideas and thoughts, my bucket runneth over. Intuitive intercommunication is my modus operandi. I intrinsically understand the world around me and am blessed with the words to communicate that understanding. I will use my loquacious nature to defend the voiceless. I will use my eternal-childlike exuberance to smash the patriarchal institutions that silence the powerless. My word is power. I practice conscientiousness to wield my weapons stealthily. When I speak, the world listens.

Cancer (June 21 — July 22)

I am not a victim. Filled with vast power, in this season of Cancer, I am exalted! I am nested and invested in my family and home. When I look inward and honor my sensitivity, I invite a world of possibility. The love I feel is uncompromising and incomparable. When I let my feelings course through me, I become activated. When I offer my exceptional care, I work in honor of our mutual liberation from an emotionless existence. I intuitively understand that integrating the depth of human sensitivity into our day-to-day lives is a foundational key to building a society of intention and care.

Leo (July 23 — August 22)

I am so strong, and I add a creative panache everywhere I grace with my presence. I work in honor of liberation by harnessing the powers of attraction. I can envision my place and my worth in this world. By living in my dharma, I inspire those around me to move to action and celebrate themselves. I use my empowered perspective to liberate myself and others from the oppressive forces that leave us void of flair and magic. Let this Cancer season fill my bucket with connection and joyful experience. Let its energy encourage me to navigate my emotions with tender patience and offer that same grace to those around me.

Virgo (August 23 — September 22)

I am more than enough. I influence the world around me when I navigate my life in alignment with my values. I am the unsung hero, who works not for recognition, but because I have identified a need. I am the single, diminutive ripple that makes tidal waves with my quiet influence. I understand the balance of the universe; the infinitive yin and yang. Let me invite the emotional, nurturing powers of Cancer to wash over me. Let me feel without analyzing the emotions coming through me. When I care for myself the way I care for others, I am in deep alignment with the world around me. The accountable, quiet love that surges through me is the thread to our quilted, collective revolution.

Libra (September 23 — October 22)

My outlook and ability to evaluate the world and the people around me is my superhero strength. I am a natural justice seeker. I affect the world by reminding those around me of the beauty that lies in the balance. When I harness my objectivity, I operate in the spirit of liberation. I value beauty and harmony and incorporate them into my way of being. Let me utilize the emotional tenderness of Cancer to benefit myself and those around me. While allowing myself a subjective place in my life, may I remain objective and confidently aligned with the truth and order of nature.

Scorpio (October 23 — November 21)

May Cancer season help me to access my deepest emotions. My ability to breathe in suffocating depths makes me unique and powerful. I go deep, harnessing water’s darkness, and I commune with the strangest of creatures. Let me allow light where the Cimmerian shade encapsulates. When I honor the depths of others and protect my inherent magical qualities, I can inspire those around me to touch the inaccessible parts of themselves. I am a tornado of redemption. When I temper my shadows with compassion, I actively liberate myself and others from the fear of staring human fragility in the eye. Harnessing the power in my emotions allows me to affect those around me and inspire monumental change.

Sagittarius (November 22 — December 21)

I use my philosophical nature to navigate my life. My restless spirit allows me to harness the fires of my passions and find a deeper meaning to the world around me. Motivated by a sense of freedom, I deliver hope and courage to those around me by never settling. The flames of my passions make me determined and thoughtful. I use my access to freedom to create a path for all. May this Cancer season allow me to accept and deliver kindness in my journey for liberation.

Capricorn (December 22 — January 19)

I am allowed to embrace being in the moment. I do not have to conquer emotions; I can let them move through me. While I am gifted in the pursuit of progress, I will equip myself with Cancer’s demands to slow down and observe without the need for meddling. My worth is inherent whether I am adding checkmarks to my internal to-do list or not. When I slow down and live life on life’s terms, I can achieve more than the confines of checklists allow. Liberation occurs when I operate from a place of intentionality and kindness to myself.

Aquarius (January 20 — February 18)

I will let sensitivity and receptivity blend with my keen perception and brazen individuality to render myself unstoppable. I will use my intelligence and knack for seeing people and strategize around our mutual liberation from the shackles of normalcy. In the spirit of Cancer, I will show my reserved tender side. I will bear water, embracing folks’ tender spots and soothing their strangeness out from the prisons of society’s perception. When I combine my quick mind with my heart open, I instigate revolution. Allow me to welcome kindness and soothe my inner cynic.

Pisces (February 19 — March 20)

I am an ethereal being who can use my inherent wisdom and supernatural talents to heal the masses. When I am willing to be wholly present, I radiate the best of what it is to be human. I have compassion for all beings and set out to share it with those who are forgotten and neglected. Cancer, be with me! Allow me the ability to fight back when I feel too vulnerable. Bless me with the courage to swim in the currents of my infinite life force. Let me feel confident in the notion that I am as deserving of compassion as those around me. Let me soothe my pain with kindness so that I can use my power to quiet the pain of those around me.
