Upcoming, the June solstice
Sun in Cancer, 2029
Sun enters Cancer on Thursday 21 June 2029, 01:48 UTC, which is in your time zone. It leaves for Leo on Sunday 22 July 2029, 12:42 UTC, after 31 days.
The June solstice of 2029 falls on 21 June at 01:48 UTC, the same moment the Sun leaves Gemini and enters Cancer. At the solstice the Sun reaches its northernmost point in the sky for the year, giving the longest day in the Northern Hemisphere and the shortest in the Southern. The Sun remains in Cancer, a cardinal water sign ruled by the Moon, for 31 days, until it enters Leo on 22 July 2029 at 12:42 UTC.
The tradition treats Cancer as the sign of home, family, memory and the care that keeps people fed and sheltered. With the Moon as ruler, astrologers read this season as one that brings feelings and private needs closer to the surface. A practical suggestion: spend some unhurried time on the space you live in, or with the people you count as home.
