What is Cancer Energy?
Cancers are a Water sign, which is deeply emotional, spiritual, creative, and intuitive. This sign is ruled by the Moon, the planet that connects to our emotional center. Cancers, therefore, are moved by their emotions rather than logic – they follow their heart in nearly all matters of life.
This emotional energy can sometimes become imbalanced, causing moodiness or sensitivity that may lead to conflict. That’s why it’s so important to try to maintain emotional, mental, and physical balance during Cancer season – if we let these emotions take over, we may become overwhelmed.
Some positive Cancer traits include:
- Loyalty
- Intuition
- Empathy
- Compassion
- Creativity
- Protection of those they love
However, like any sign in the zodiac, there are also negative traits associated with this sign, including being overly sensitive, moody, and even vindictive.
Working with positive affirmations that specifically connect to Cancer’s healing energy will help you make the most of this season, whether you are a Cancer or not.
10 Healing Affirmations for Cancer Season
1. “The World Benefits When I Am Part of It.”
Cancer energy can encourage us to stay at home and retreat into our own world.
Think about Cancer’s symbol, the crab, and the safety of its shell. When you remind yourself that the world needs you and your energy, it becomes easier to put yourself out there and share your ideas with others.
Repeat this affirmation on days when it feels hard to leave the safety of your nest.
2. ”My Emotions Make Me Stronger.”
Cancer season can feel overwhelming with emotions, especially if you happen to be an Earth sign or an Air sign – two elements that prefer logic and rational thought over intuition and feelings. By using this affirmation, you’ll begin to realize that your emotions are here to guide you, not hold you back.
Repeat this phrase to yourself when you feel sensitive or thrown off by overwhelming emotions.
3. “I Follow My Intuition & Trust Where It Leads Me.”
One of the most beneficial aspects of Cancer season is the increase in intuition. However, many people are disconnected from their intuition, unsure of when to follow it.
If you begin using this affirmation each day, you will develop a deep sense of trust in yourself and your instincts.
