Her Stars: Dating Tea for Cancers

Welcome back to Her Stars, the weekly column that dares to answer all of your questions about astrology, romance, and general advice! This week we’ll be covering which Gordon Ramsay meme you are if you’re a Capricorn, if this is the right time to re-brand yourself, and dating tea for Cancers. As always, if you want to be featured next week, then click here!

It’s summer and I’ve been thinking about re-branding myself and changing before the new school year, thoughts? – Anon

First, I love this question. I personally love to rebrand myself when I see a lifestyle I want or when I’m feeling stuck or stagnant. Cancer season just started this week, so it’s the perfect time to rebrand yourself. Many of us are currently in the process of changing the way we think to better ourselves in terms of money or creativity, and others are in the process of changing the way they think to better their relationships with others.

If you think about it, half the year has gone by. What have you learned? What have you gained? These are the questions you should think about and evaluate how you want the rest of the year to go. It’s natural that right around this time we think about everything that’s happened and reflect on our experience. It also happens to be the Year of the Pig, so this is a big year for abundance and wealth. If you’ve been thinking about changing your lifestyle or way of thinking to secure the bag, do it! I know I personally am going through this right now as I approach my senior year in college and thinking about my future career. So don’t worry, you’re not the only one going through it. Write your thoughts and experiences down and think about them and go from there. Take it step by step! You can do it!

No holds barred, let’s do this. For one, you happen to be a homebody. You really appreciate your space since you feel everything around you very deeply. This means only a select few are really close to you. Many Cancers happen to be processing trauma or emotions, which causes many of them to be unavailable despite wanting romance anywhere they can get it. This also causes a lot of problem in relationships, as many of you will dive into relationships thinking you’re ready and hurting the other person since you really weren’t ready.

If you’re a Cancer and have not processed and developed yourself past having mood swings and crying all the time, perhaps being alone might be the best thing for you right now. Many Cancers cause their partners to be emotionally exhausted from having to deal with their emotional mood swings all the time and having to just accept things for the way they are. However, this is not because Cancers are horrible or anything. Remove any preconceived notions about them. It’s simply because Cancers have a good heart and are very patient. They have a high tolerance level and this is usually what causes them to guilt trip their partners if something doesn’t go their way immediately. In other words, to the Cancers that do this, stop being a brat. Obviously, this isn’t for all Cancers, as each person is different and individualized. This may be applicable for those with a Cancer Moon or rising as well. If you want more specific advice on Cancers, send me more questions!

Capricorns are the goats of the zodiacs! They’re smart, hard-working, and occasionally a bit of a jerk. You guys are the girl bosses of the zodiac. If there’s anyone who can get the job done and be a leader, it’s Capricorns! Gordon Ramsay is very Capricorn. He’s a leader in the food industry, very smart and well-versed, and also kind of mean to other adults.

With Cancer season in full swing, it’s time to take some time aside and spend it drinking tea and reflecting! Tune in next week to see how eclipses will affect us all. Click here if you want to submit a question or you can DM @/_catherinele_ on Instagram.
