Welcome to Cancer Season
Welcome to Cancer season everyone!
What a great way to kick off the summer with the first water sign of the zodiac! We are already a week into the season and already feeling all the feels. Cancer’s themselves are deeply in tune with their emotions, sensitive, loyal, and imaginative beings. With the symbol of the crab, it is typical for Cancer signs/placements to have a tough, hard exterior in order to protect themselves. They tend to withdraw inward, finding comfort in their own realm. Then, they are soft and kind hearted on the inside once they let you in. As well as being nicknamed the Moonchild, Cancer’s are also known to be The Cosmic Mother’s since they are naturally gifted with the ability to nurture themselves and others. A large part of Cancer energy is being a natural healer to the world. No wonder Moonstone is one of Cancer’s birthstones. Moonstone is a crystal all about inner clarity, and periodic change. It provides calmness and encourages us to welcome new beginnings. We love wearing our Moonstone bracelets connecting us to our feminine energy. Perfect for this Cancer season!
Cancer energy is strong right now, especially since the New Moon entered Cancer the other night. We are in a Cancer double whammy! Very fitting for the Moonchild sign. The moon is what rules our moods, emotions, and feelings. With the moon in Cancer, you may feel like retreating internally and feel a bit more sensitive. It is important to embrace all of these feelings and honor what you need. This New Moon is a great time for self reflection and to be honest about what is truly beneficial for your wellbeing. To let go of all that isn’t serving you and fully embrace all the uplifting and supportive energy in your life.
There is a substantial amount of distress happening in our world right now. It is troubling and unsettling. A great deal of people are feeling anxious, hopeless, violated, even hatred. It is easy to feel all of these emotions but it's crucial to not hold onto them. Holding these emotions inside the body can be destructive. As hard as it is, they must be let go and in its place, try to hold feelings of love and compassion. For yourself and the world. If you’re seeking a little extra sunshine during these unfortunate times, try picking up the crystal Citrine. It is known as the happy stone! It emulates the sun's bright and vibrant energy. Try keeping this crystal around to add extra joyfulness and sparkle to your days. Not only can Citrine be the light at the end of the tunnel, but the light that is guiding us through every step of the way.
Cancer season is a time for you to allow yourself to feel anything and everything. Allowing yourself to truly feel and process your emotions is just the beginning of your healing journey. You can utilize this time to retreat back and look inward to process and heal. To really take advantage of this moment to nurture and care for yourself. So, spend a day doing nothing and let that be ok. Cry for an hour, or two, or all day, seriously whatever you need. Tap into the Cancer energy and spend a day surrounded by water. The feelings can be overwhelming so, take the time to journal about them or meditate. Consider having a Clear Quartz with you while you’re doing these things. We purposefully put Clear Quartz in every product we make at TINY BANDIT from Crystal Candles to our Crystal Ritual Oils. Clear Quartz is the master healer, it encourages clarity and increased energy while drawing away negative energy. The world needs you right now more than ever, but you must take care of yourself first. So, use this time to do a little reset, check in with yourself, then come back stronger and better than ever.
With love and gratitude,
