Mars X Cancer 2021 By: Erin The Urban Mermaid
April 30, 2021Another day, another planetary transit- am I right FireandLux fam? This time around we have our action planet, Mars, leaving fast paced Gemini and stationing in nurturing Cancer. In a nutshell, our emotions will dictate our actions! Mars will stay in Cancer from April 23 until June 11th.
Cancer, who is ruled by the Moon, is the Mother of the Zodiac. She is a domestic diva who lives to nurture and care for her family and thrives at home. Like the tides, her emotions ebb and flow, and like the crab, Cancer’s symbol, you are likely to find her side stepping her way away from confrontation. Which is quite contrary to the quick, sparky, in your face energy Mars brings. Also like the crab, she has a tough exterior but is a softy on the inside. While home is her domain, people often sleep on her secret super power: she is a conscious community leader and her intuition is on point!
She is a major empath who picks up on everything! Her shadow is her ever changing moods, extreme sensitivity and always being on the defense.
This position will have us in our feelings and acting on them. You see, Mars is our decision maker, our masculine energy and Cancer is more passive, intuitive and motherly. This can cause a bit of a conundrum. For this transit, I am feeling a very strong mama bear energy, protective of one’s family, feelings and home, overall moodiness, emotional blow-up as passions and emotions intertwine.
There is also a lot of homebody energy. This is a great time to make some home improvements; maybe it’s doing some purging around your home, redecorating, or a major deep cleaning. It is a time to be making our nest into our castle. Confronting our emotions whether we like it or not will also be a major theme. So get ready to be challenged!
Cancer is also very nostalgic. She likes to attach herself to past memories whether they are good and bad. This is a good time to be doing inner child work. Going back to your past, forgiving yourself, showing that little kid some compassion and nurturing them the way they should have been the first time around. Then don’t forget to give your present self some love too! You’re doing great at managing some really heavy things 🙂
While this transit might seem to be challenging us, deep down we know it is our mirror and we are meant to learn a lesson or resolve a karmic debt so we can ascend on our journey.
