Mars enters Cancer

[25 MARCH 2023]

Another exciting ingress to round out March… Mars has been in the sign of Gemini since August of 2022- It’s usual 8ish week stay has turned into a whole ass journey as the planet of action moved through this sign.

The planet of action… Mars in his most simplest terms can describe what action we take and how we’re taking it. During his most recent journey, we’ve found ourselves more creatively innovative, enjoying more adaptability, and enjoying lots if intellectual stimulation. It’s likely you’ve been learning something, working on a creative skill, or re-working something of that nature…

The reason Mars was here for so long was because if it’s retrograde (hence the aforementioned “re”-working). When this planet retrograde, we take a closer look at how we’re exerting our energy.

And reason this retrograde was so colored with creative reformation was due to the influence of Gemini. Gemini is a Mercury-ruled Air sign: AKA we’ve been more focused on creative action specifically involving communication, our social lives, connection, and self-expression!

Now that it’s stay in Gemini is over, Mars will be back to it’s usual motion, which brings us to a few weeks where this creative action turns a bit more emotional and passionate. Mars in the sign of Cancer makes decisions based off its intuitive feelings and emotional needs.

Mars in the sign of Cancer is a placement that is highly attuned to its intuitive feelings and emotional needs. This placement can often lead to decisions being made based on a deep and profound understanding of one's innermost self, as well as an ability to see beyond the surface level of things. We may find ourselves feeling a heightened sense of empathy, and be able to connect with others on a deep emotional level. However, it’s important to note that this placement can also have its challenges, as individuals may struggle with feeling overly sensitive or over-reactive in certain situations. Mars in Cancer encourages us to trust our intuition, embrace our emotional truth, and embrace others in the same way, even when it may be difficult to do so.
