The fourth part of this 12-post series exploring the energy of each zodiac sign is dedicated to Cancer . Beyond the popular astrology that associates signs with personality, we'll delve into their most essential meaning: their archetypal nature, their symbols, their characteristics, and their manifestation in the human experience on both a personal and collective level. What is a Zodiac Sign? Before talking about Cancer itself, it's important to clarify the following: when we talk about signs, most people assume we're referring to the personality of those whose Sun is in that sign. In reality, this is a vast oversimplification... read more

Amid the unstable and challenging astrological climate of 2025, Jupiter's transit through Cancer can easily be considered the most auspicious. This is because in Cancer, Jupiter is in its sign of exaltation. Furthermore, Jupiter itself is the planet that governs opportunity, abundance, expansion, and the ability to materialize what we could be. In traditional astrology, exaltation is a category that falls within the so-called essential dignities . Exaltation specifically indicates that the planet is not “at home” (as is the case when it is in domicile), but it is accorded honors. In other words, one could say that it is... read more

( Download the calendar with all the transits that appear in this entry, at this link .) June marks a change of pace compared to previous months. March, April, and May were among the most destabilizing periods of the year, with a general climate of tension, fragmentation, and uncertainty that was expressed both collectively and personally. June doesn't completely eliminate that atmosphere—the global context remains volatile and conflicts are far from resolved—but the difference is that on a personal level, there is beginning to be room to stabilize. The reason for this advantage is none other than the entry of... read more

(Download this month's transit calendar at this link.) We've already realized: the world is changing at a speed we can barely process. Everything is moving, everything is transforming, everything seems to crumble and rebuild in a matter of moments. The feeling of instability is no longer something external, but something that seeps into our everyday perception. What is more real, what we feel or what we see outside? Do we cling to what the information circulating tells us, or are we guided by what our intuition tells us? February's astrological climate strikes a similar note. There's a tension between tangible... read more

The world is going through a period of deep upheaval, marked by climatic phenomena (such as the California fires and severe storms in Buenos Aires) and widespread discontent and crises that have destabilized governments in multiple regions. In Syria , the fall of the Bashar al-Assad regime at the hands of the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham militia has generated regional uncertainty. In the United Kingdom , Keir Starmer’s government is facing a serious political crisis, with criticism for its management and a lack of internal cohesion in the Labour Party.

( Download this month's transit calendar at this link .) We are entering a crucial stage of transformation. This is a month that marks the beginning of a new world , a time when the seeds already planted begin to germinate, and the changes we've long sensed begin to manifest. However, this new beginning brings with it a mix of emotions: hope for what is emerging, but also a certain nostalgia and grief for what we are leaving behind. This month's Moonstice brings to the surface latent emotions that need to be released, creating a sense of ambivalence . There's... read more

We have several months ahead of us with a rather turbulent astrological climate and many changes worldwide. Within this context, it could be said that Mars retrograde marks the beginning of these somewhat crazy months. This retrograde —which will begin on December 6, 2024, and end on February 23, 2025, and in which Mars will retrograde from 6°10' Leo to 17°0' Cancer— represents a key moment to stop, reflect, and readjust our actions. Let's face it: this is an uncomfortable retrograde. Mars is the planet that retrogrades the least frequently—about 70 to 80 days every two years. We're not usually... read more
