This blog describes the effects of Mars transiting through the sign Cancer.
On September 29th, Mars the planet of action and initiative, entered the sign Cancer. Mars is all about courage and fearless pioneering. Cancer is a sign concerned with security, safety and emotion. Mars wants thrills while Cancer seeks protection. Do you see the trouble inherent in this combination already?
There will be some intense emotional wars happening for us during this transit, that's for sure. Mars will be in Cancer for an unusually long time since Mars is due to turn retrograde in November. I'll explain the effect of that in another blog but for now it's good enough to be aware of the hypersensitivity in the atmosphere thanks to Mars in Cancer. We are all a bit more touchy than usual.
The great news is that this is a fabulous time for creative endeavors to meet up with your ambition. You will have unlimited energy to tap into your sensitivity in order to make things happen.
Mars in Cancer also suggests a strong nurturing drive will become more dominating over the next several weeks. Whatever house Cancer falls in your chart is the area of your life you naturally nurture the most. Mars in this house only adds energy to the mix.
If you have any planets in the cardinal signs at about 8-12 degrees, or if you are ruled by Mars, you will feel a strong energy pull by the time Mars goes retrograde on November 15th. Now is the time to push ahead in any business endeavors or action oriented plans. Remember, the key to using astrology well is understanding cycles and knowing how to apply these cycles to your life for the best possible outcome in life.
