Astrologers Explain How To Navigate Emotionally Charged Cancer Season

Cancer season is a time to nourish ourselves, and that can be accomplished by connecting to the food we put in our bodies. During this solar season, our palates may veer more toward rich and hearty decadence than plant-based diets. Since Cancer is one of the zodiac signs associated with family, connect to your heritage or get a taste of other cultures through the cuisine of the lineage.

Pick up a cookbook (and watch YouTube vids) like Lazarus Lynch’s Son of a Southern Chef. A “love letter” to his father’s culinary artistry has Cancer season written all over it. (Pass the Brown Stew Chicken and Lemon Pound Cake, please.) Or binge-watch multiple seasons of No Reservations, as a tribute to late Cancerian food and wine connoisseur Anthony Bourdain.

The caveat? Self-soothing Cancer can awaken an urge to emotionally eat since food is one of our culture’s most widely accepted forms of comfort. During Cancer season 2021, slow down and indulge mindfully. Taking part in preparing a meal at least partly from scratch instead of throwing down ready-made meals while you zone out at your desk. Up your Crab cache by inviting friends over for intimate dinner parties. Turn on some pretentious but fun Paris Cafe station on Pandora, pour wine, and prep a meal together as you laugh, talk, and bond.
