It’s time to settle down my friends! The scattered Gemini energy is dissipating, and a slower moving love-front is heading right in. That would be the loving and nurturing energy of the Cardinal sign of the Water Signs, Cancer.

Mercury has already entered Cancer, so you have probably already experienced a lovely, nurturing tone arriving in your communication and travel sector. On June 21, the glorious Sun shines its love and light in Cancer, and this is going to breathe love and light into your summer lovin’. Whether you are looking for a summer romance or not, the Sun in Cancer can help you to feeeeeel the love, all summer long. Let’s talk about how to do just that!

Sun in Cancer – A Walk Down Nostalgia Lane

The themes of the Sun in Cancer are very loving. The zodiac sign of Cancer also rules the 4th house in the astrological houses. The 4th house is the house of roots and foundations. If you have been following your Daily Horoscopes, then you will see when the daily transits are impacting your house of roots and foundations. Every single day, at least 1 zodiac sign is feeling energy in their 4th house, this is Water Sign Cancer energy. It’s all about the love, family, and the place you call home.

When the Sun enters Cancer at this time of year, this is the luminary body of the Sun showering glow and light onto your 4th house: your actual house, your home, and the people you call home. These can be the people that are in your home, or just your people. It could be today’s people, or you may see themes of your people arise from hundreds of years ago. These are your roots. These are your foundations in this lifetime.

This is why we call this your house of roots and foundations. Expect “your people” and the place or thing you call home to be a huge part of your life over the next few weeks. Gone is the quick and chatty and sociable energy of Gemini. Now it’s time to remember who you are, and how you can use those roots to impact the world and attract summer love. If you want summer lovin’, that is exactly how you are going to get it when the Sun is in Cancer.

Nostalgia and walking down those memory lanes, as far back as you can walk, will help you to attract what you need when it comes to summer love. That’s true if you want a new relationship or just want to improve the ones you already have. Summer love doesn’t have to be romantic. But it can be pretty incredible if you embody Cancer love.

Think of the energy of Princess Diana when you think of the energy you want to put in the world. She had her Sun in Cancer. Robin Williams also did. They have both now crossed over and gone to a new home, but their Cancerian energy and love are what everybody still talks about when remembering their time on Earth.

3 Ways to Attract Summer Lovin’ With the Cancer Sun

If you follow our horoscopes, then you know that we are always saying love and be loved. This is especially true with the Sun in Cancer. Channel the softness of Princess Diana, who lived and died for her family. Embody the goofy and nutty spirit of Robin Williams, who left this world in sadness, so he could make the entire world laugh.

Here are 3 ways to use nostalgia and the spirit of love to give and get that summer love while the Sun is in Cancer.

Call your friends over. The older the friend, the better. By older, we don’t mean age-wise. If you are blessed enough to have friends from high school, college, or even nursery school, invite them over. The more the merrier. Just that 1 friend and a bottle of wine with some good home-cooked food is precisely what Sun in Cancer is all about. Get your glow of nostalgia and memories on, and your love too shall multiply.
Give support, get support. Supporting other humans is how love grows. Whether we are listening to a friend share a problem or difficult time in their life, helping them pick up groceries when their kids are sick, or just giving them a hand when they need it, giving support helps you to attract support. It’s all about that chain of random acts of kindness and karma.
Love is the fuel of the Law of Attraction, and the centerpiece of everything Cancer does. Even if Cancer is a little crabby about helping sometimes, they won’t be able to sleep at night if they say no to someone. Use the love woven in your nostalgic threads that connect you to the people you care about during this time. It will come naturally with the Sun in Cancer. Again, give love to get love.
Talk is deep. Cancerians can start talking to you about something as simple as how you take your coffee, and minutes later you’ll be pondering the mysteries of life. It happens naturally. Cancer is like their Water sign mate Scorpio that way. Scorpio finds hidden meanings and depth in everything. Don’t shy away from these conversations, no matter what zodiac sign you are.

Pearls of wisdom and love are coming to the surface that the Universe wants you to have and share. Air signs like focusing on the facts, but the facts are not the most important thing right now. That doesn’t mean they aren’t important at all, but right now, love is the priority. You aren’t going to attract summer love by having a debate about truth and fiction. The Air signs may argue this, but you aren’t smarter than love this time.

Concluding thoughts….

No matter what zodiac sign that you are, giving love helps you to attract love when the Sun is in Cancer. Be nurturing. Remember your roots. Embrace and share nostalgia. Talk is deep. Be love to get love. When you do, you launch a chain reaction of love that will last all summer long, and beyond. If you need a little extra help, use the loving healing crystals of amethyst or rose quartz to help you feel the love.
