It’s Cancer Season: Here’s Your July Home Horoscope

Slip into your seashelled sanctuaries, star-kissed space holders. This month in the cosmos finds us craving deep emotional retreat, and learning how to live with our longings, even when they can’t immediately manifest in the external world.

The Sun spends most of the month in feel-it-to-heal-it Cancer, and the sign of the crab asks us to tuck into our secret shelters and childhood hideaways, to protect our tenderness, and to lean into our loony inner lifeworlds. With pleasure planet Venus shifting from glitter kitten Leo into the intricate integrity of witchy Virgo, and powerhouse Mars stationing retrograde, we’re slowing our roll, recalibrating, and learning to value just “being” as much as “doing.”

This combo signals prime terrarium building on a spatial front. Treat your home like a precious biodome, and let it be an extension of whatever feelings are swirling inside of you right now.
