Cancer season is here. This cardinal water sign is represented by a crab, and “cancer” is the Latin word for crab. From June 21 to July 22, the sun will be in Cancer. According to Astro Poets, Cancers love to comfort others and seek comfort themselves. They are supportive and in touch with their feelings. Nostalgic and nurturing, Cancers are protective, which makes them great to have in your circle.
Albuquerque has plenty to do and see to help a Cancer get even more in touch with their emotions. Here’s a Cancer’s guide to Albuquerque.
What to Do
Take a Cancer to the Albuquerque Museum to tap into their sense of nostalgia. With exhibitions like “The Other Route 66” celebrating 100 years of the Mother Road, the museum is an ideal place for residents and visitors alike to get a deeper understanding of Albuquerque.
Let a Cancer nurture their creative side with an artistic class. Fiber Arts on 4th has numerous classes on weaving, spinning, knitting and more. The Groove Artspace specializes in art classes like mosaics and painting. To create your own pottery, head to Creativity Warehouse.
Where to Eat

A Cancer will love some Southern comfort food from Frank’s Famous Chicken and Waffles. Order some candied yams, fried okra or smoked turkey greens on the side to complete your meal. If a big slice of pizza is your idea of comfort food, stop at JC’s New York Pizza Department, Dion's or Seemo’s Slices to fulfill your pizza craving.
For an early morning beverage, take a Cancer to Café Es Amor. Each cup is made with love and pays homage to Mexican culture. If a Cancer is looking for a place to imbibe, head to Town and Ranch. The tasting room has a throwback speakeasy-style vibe complete with delectable cocktails featuring Los Poblanos lavender gin.

A Cancer can tap into nostalgia and history at Hotel Parq Central. Celebrating 100 years since it was originally built as The Santa Fe Railway Hospital for the Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe Railway, Hotel Parq Central is a cozy stay along Route 66. Go up to the roof to enjoy Apothecary Lounge, a sleek bar with vintage apothecary bottles and a beautiful view of the city.
For a more tucked-away stay, book one of the casitas at Casas de Sueños Old Town Historic Inn. Built more than 80 years ago, these cozy adobe rooms feature hot tubs and fireplaces. Eat a full American breakfast in the garden. Walking around the property, you’ll discover hidden courtyards and patios to relax in.
