Astro Tash: Cancer Season

“We’re all either getting a confidence boost or an ego check… maybe both”

Astro Tash is back in the hot (or cosy?!) seat this month for our Cancer season update!

Kicking off with the winter solstice on 21 June, there’s a busy few weeks ahead as the season of the crab takes flight; asking us to nurture ourselves and each other over a dinner party or a family get together.

A double whammy Mercury Retrograde in Cancer and Full Moon in Capricorn on 29 June might get messy, while Jupiter transiting Leo from 30 June gives us the courage to put our creative projects out into the world. Disclaimer: remember to put your efforts into the things you GENUINELY care about, or Jupiter might just blow up your ego on a public stage…

Astro track of the month: Asa Tate – Tropic of Cancer

Read on for the full Cancer season 2026 update!

21st June – marks the Winter solstice in the Southern Hemisphere, initiating us into Cancer season. Time to nurture ourselves, closest bonds and connections!

29th June – Mercury Retrograde in Cancer (until July 23rd) AND a Full Moon in Capricorn. Cancerian heart-stirrings and the fall out from past actions collide, which begs the question: which muffin is going to roll back around?

30th June – Jupiter enters Leo, offering us confidence and courage in abundance over the next 12-months!

3rd July – Mars Uranus conjunction in Gemini. Cue disruptions and glitches in tech & AI, hackers on the loose?

7th July – Neptune Retrograde in Aries/Pisces exposes delulus that might have developed since January ’26.

9th July – Venus in Virgo helps acts of service reign supreme in our closest relationships.

14th July – New Moon in Cancer. Time to plant new seeds from the realisations of Mercury Retrograde in Cancer and Full Moon in Capricorn.
