Mars Enters Cancer -April 23rd-June 11th-

Mars the planet that oversees desire and drive moves from fun loving, and exhilarating Gemini into free flowing and energetically sensitive Cancer from today until June 11th .
To understand what this means, one must first understand the archetype and symbolism behind the astrological sign of Cancer.
Cancers are a water sign. They are emotionally intuitive and expressive! While others may see this as a weakness, their sensitivity is actually their strength.

They are unwilling to put themselves or push themselves through what others will. What this means is that they are also more willing to let go of the places and people that do not serve their highest selves. They know they do not have to tolerate or stay by people or places who make them feel that their sensitivity or feelings are something to be ashamed about or pushed away. They actually cannot tolerate it, it is who they are and as such, Cancers must create and make spaces for things and people that celebrate them rather than condemn them for who they are!

With that, this means with Mars in Cancer, you may find yourself more firm in your feelings and channeling greater ferocity in protecting that precious inner child within. By tapping into these shadows and feelings, you allow yourself the opportunity to bring brighter clarity and light into your life, what you like and don't like, what you need or don't need, where you should stay and where you should let go. By having the bravery to explore these dark and often sensitive spaces, you will have better clarity on how to best integrate the lessons learned and exposed to you into our present timeline.

On the shadow side, it is important to note that although it is important to feel your feels, it is also important to hold yourself accountable and to not project onto others from a place of pain. We too have our own egos and past traumas or biases that we can project onto a situation! As such, it is important to be able to ground yourself enough to separate the two. Figure out what is important for you to feel and what is important for you to express. As you work on doing this, remember to speak words with love and to not stab anyone with words full of feelings. And, if you ever find yourself struggling to get your point across without being passive aggressive or tearing the other person down, remove yourself from the situation and then come back. You will thank yourself for saving you+ the other person from a lot of things that you actually did not mean to say (and trust me, I know because I am a cancer moon myself). Realize however strong or valid your feelings are, feelings are not concrete, and are fluid and can shift and change constantly, so act accordingly: with compassion, patience and/or space + loads of love! By doing so, you allow yourself the ability to both feel your feels then make a decision from a clear space that best feels most aligned to your energy now.

"What lies behind you and what lies in front of you, pales in comparison to what lies inside of you."
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Much love + many blessings always!
