Cancer Season Wallpaper
The artistic depiction of Cancer season comes from one of my favorite multidisciplinary artists right now, Marius Troy. Aetheria, is a clear depiction of the divine mother, sacred cosmology, and is absolutely breathtaking. His work leaves you feeling expanded, in wonderment, and intimately connected to the etheric realm.
Mother has arrived, and I am only half way referencing my return to my wallpaper series. Today marks our first step into the deeply intuitive emotional waters of Cancer, our cosmic Mother. Arriving at Cancer season this year feels like the collapse into your mother’s lap after getting your ass kicked at school. Gemini season this year was marked by profoundly disturbing events on the global scale that have us aching for the medicinal power of a mother’s love. This, is a near guarantee as we are now in the early days of Jupiter’s year long transit in Cancer, boosting the collective bosom. No joke, the vision I received when I leaned into Jupiter in Cancer energy was giant, life-giving breasts. What I wasn’t expecting was to see that visibly manifest in my own body. But that’s neither here nor there.
As we walk into this new season, here is how we can work with this Cancerian energy:
Self-Reflective Prompts
What parts of myself need the most tender care right now? How can I tend to those wounded places?
When do I feel most at home in my own skin? What environments or relationships create that sense of belonging?
What family patterns (biological or chosen) am I ready to heal or transform?
How do I currently give and receive emotional nourishment? Where might I be over-giving or under-receiving?
What memories or ancestral wisdom want to emerge and guide me during this season?
Nurturing Rituals
Create a "comfort altar" with photos of loved ones, soft textures, and items that make you feel held
Practice intuitive cooking - let your body guide you toward foods that feel nourishing rather than following strict plans
Take ritual baths with moon water, sea salt, or milk to honor Cancer's connection to water and the feminine
Write letters to your inner child, offering the words of comfort and encouragement you needed then
Moon gazing or moonlight walks to connect with Cancer's ruling luminary
Daily Practices
Morning check-ins: "How is my emotional weather today?" before diving into tasks
Boundary rituals: visualizing a protective shell around your energy when needed
Evening gratitude for the ways you were cared for (by others or yourself) that day
Honoring your moods without judgment - letting yourself feel deeply without rushing to "fix" emotions
All this to be said, this is going to be a deeply emotional season that asks us to lean in. To soften to our tenderness, and allow their wisdom to inform our path forward. i love you, and I’ll see you back here soon.
