Mars in Cancer

2 August 2011
Mars moves into Cancer overnight tonight at 2:22 am (pacific daylight time).
Mars is aggressive, masculine energy. Cancer is an introverted, feminine sign. The gumption of Mars can sometimes be drowned out by the water of Cancer. Likewise, the moodiness of Cancer can sometimes be exacerbated by the assertiveness of Mars.
But the two do have a thing or two in common: Cancer wants to protect and defend - and Mars can provide the energy to give that protection. Cancer is patriotic - and Mars rules over soldiers and all the armed forces.
Mars in Cancer is a good time for all of us to put more energy into taking care of and protecting the people we love.
Wherever Mars is travelling through your chart at any given time is a good place to focus your energy for very productive results. Look to the House where Cancer falls in your chart to see where you can put your focus between now and late September, when Mars will move into Leo.
Just don’t get too defensive,
