Mars, the planet of passion, aggression and strength moves into timid Cancer on September 05, where it will stay until November 03.
Mars is in fall in Cancer, meaning this is the second weakest position for Martian energy: all the attributes of fiery Mars are subdued during this transit. Still, that doesn’t mean that we can take action, pursue our goals or even get into fights during this time — it just means that aggression and assertiveness will often be masked by politeness and silence.
But there’s also a more positive way to view this transit: Cancer is loyal and protective, especially when it comes to family members, small children and animals, so this transit will give you the extra oomph you may need in order to go to bat for your loved ones.
Read on to find out how Mars in Cancer will affect your life.
Aries
You’re being pointed toward the direction of home. Pick your battles with family carefully. Break only what can’t be fixed.
Taurus
You may not be able to say what you mean during this time. If you can’t be diplomatic, stay silent.
Gemini
Spending more money than you need to is a real possibility right now. Try to not let it bother you.
Cancer
Everyone is not out to get you, although it might feel like that. Keep your guard up, if you must.
Leo
Past conflicts may resurface or suddenly be rehashed. While overwhelming, it’s the only way to truly resolve them for good.
Virgo
Not everyone within your friend group has your best interests at heart. Try to discern the truth from the pretense.
Libra
Conflicts at work may upset you, but if you’re to achieve your goals you can’t be best friends with everyone.
Scorpio
You may need to disrupt your studies or cancel travel. It will be for the best in the long run.
Sagittarius
Be extra careful when it comes to money arrangements and contracts this time. Read everything thrice. Don’t be so trusting.
Capricorn
Some tension and passive aggressive remarks between you and your significant other may be inevitable. Try to see their side.
Aquarius
Your health takes center stage. Be extra careful when taking up new sports activities, and focus on nutrition and hydration.
Pisces
A recent crush may disappoint you. An art project may fall through. Not a very fun era, but it’ll pass.
