10 (plus one) ways to make the most of Cancer season 🦀💗


Hi, Reader —

I just landed home earlier this week from vibrant, alive London – a quickie trip to visit a dear friend and take part in a workshop that’s been calling my whole being forward. I left right after our Cancer New Moon meditation, which felt like such a potent doorway into this season.

Summer is a fire season — full, fast, expressive. This year, I’m choosing to meet it differently. Slower. More internal. A little more breath between things. So if you’re craving more depth and less noise, here are a few invitations to help you align with this Cancer season’s wisdom, just ahead of the full moon coming later this week (join me for practice!).

Here are my Top 10 (plus one) Cancer Season Tips:

1. Start by coming home to yourself.​
Cancer reminds us that “home” is not a location — it’s a felt sense. A frequency. Take a few minutes today to ask yourself: What helps me feel at home in myself? Then do more of that.

2. Prioritize comfort and care.​
Get cozy, get soft. Wrap yourself in something that makes you feel safe. This is not a season for punishment — it’s a season for nourishment.

3. Make your space feel like a sanctuary.​
Declutter, rearrange, light a candle. Shift the energy. Let your outer space support your inner space.

4. Check in with what you’re holding.​
Summer can pile on the invitations, the responsibilities, the everything. Pause and notice: What am I carrying? Are those things nourishing, or are they weighing you down?

5. Honor your capacity.​
Even when everyone else is going full tilt. You are allowed to rest. You are allowed to change your mind. You are allowed to do less.

6. Let your feelings move.​
This is water season. Emotion season. If something wants to rise, let it. Journal, cry, go for a walk, dance it out. The only way out is through. Gently.

7. Tend to the people who matter most.​
Cancer is the sign of family, however you define it. Reach out to someone in your innermost circle. Say the true thing. Share your presence.

8. Protect what you love.​
This season isn’t just about feeling — it’s about acting on love. Boundaries are one way we care. So is saying no, turning your phone off, or keeping something sacred just for you.

9. Speak from the heart.​
Say how you actually feel. Not what you should say. Cancer values honesty — even if it’s tender, even if it’s messy.

10. Reflect on your path.​
We’re halfway through the year. Look back with compassion. What’s changed? What’s bloomed? What’s quietly asking to be released? What comes next?

Bonus tip!

Here’s something wild: there’s no air in summer. That’s literal if you consider how stifling the heat can get; it’s also astrological, as Astro Auntie reminds us. Cancer is water. Leo is fire. Virgo is earth. There is no air sign this season, and that has real meaning. Breath becomes the remedy. Breath is perspective and spirit. Use it to ask: does this really matter? Let it bring you back to centre. To clarity. To your yes — and your no.

Keep breathing through this season to create more space and more natural pause within the fire of summer. If you’re wanting more ways to stay connected to what’s essential this season, choose your adventure:

🌝 The full Capricorn moon comes along this week, and my 90 minute lunar magic practice happens online Wednesday at 19h00 – join me for some movement, mantra and more.

🌞 The Imprint for summer is still waiting for you: a full season’s worth of on-demand meditation, mantra, and breath that you can return to anytime, to keep summer airy and light — not burnt out.

I’ll see you in an upcoming practice!

Big, big Cancer season love,
xxoo

PS: remember — Every full moon, like this one, we take time for a longer 90-minute workshop-style practice, with more movement and breath work, and priced accordingly. Every new moon, the start of the cycle, is a free hour-long gathering of meditation, mantra, journaling and sharing – next one is coming up for Leo season on Wednesday July 23. Lunar Magic is one of my favourite rhythms of the month — the gentle seed at new moon, the big crescendo at full.

Hey there, Reader — Endings can be hard. Admittedly, I’m not very good at them! And, I’ve learned that to make room for new growth, we have to let go. It’s a part of life. This seasonal shift – summer into fall – always stirs something deep. Sadness as the play of summer gives way to routine…Nostalgia, perhaps, or longing for your “back-to-” moment. And at the same time, relief at the return of structure, cooler air, and the crisp clarity of something new. We must first honour the endings, to...

Hiiii there, Reader — Perhaps you noticed that The Imprint is back for fall! If it’s been a while, and you’re curious about this upcoming session, I invite you to join me in person (for those of you in Montreal) at Morpho Bleu on Saturday, September 13 at 10:30am. We’ll have a wonderful session together to learn how to start a simple meditation practice. For those of you who can’t make it to that gathering, I know you might still be wondering: → What exactly is The Imprint? → How do I make...

Hi, Reader — First week of September is here – I just got back from vacation, the kids are back in school, and holy heck – this season is already in full swing! 🍎✏️ How has your week kicked off? Wednesday’s Full Moon Eclipse practice was such a gift. Were you there? We explored what it means to become crystal clear – about what we’re ready to release, and about the kind of presence we want to embody. Whether live or on the replay, every time we step into practice we add something positive to...
