March 2023 has been a month of intense energy shifts with major transits: Saturn in Pisces, Pluto in Aquarius and now Mars rides into the emotional waters of Cancer, all in one month. Mars wreaked havoc for 7 months with its transit & retrograde in Gemini. We felt the sting of words & battle of wits, sometimes arguments escalating rather quickly to actual fights. That transit taught us how to use our words to make things easier rather than create conflicts that go out of our control within seconds. Skillful negotiations, small talks and witty conversations helped us renew our social meters.
With Mars now entering Cancer on March 25th, get ready to become a little mysterious & stingy with sharing your energy. Mood swings are a big take away of this transit, passive-aggression and even emotional outbursts may become rampant. It will be easy to lose your patience whenever you feel even a slight glitch in your control over your reality, emotional & financial stability. Your emotional balance will need a good dose of grounding. There may be a compulsion to hold onto people/places/things out of fear. Over protectiveness can turn into possessive streaks. A lot more sensitive to emotional disappointments.
It is important to notice any such excessive behavior before it starts to affect your health, since it is very likely that added stress and internal frustrations can make you sick & weaken your immune system a lot more easily than usual. It will be extra draining and an exhaustive period. So, self-care and a balanced diet with lots and lots of water (Spring x Summer in Northern Hemisphere) will be a must during this transit. Regular workouts, sports or physical activities can help you direct any internal buildup of Martian frustration into something productive, along with spiritual-based practices like yoga, qigong, meditation, etc. can bring a sense of peace & tranquility.
Patience and calmness won’t be readily available in your inventory especially when you encounter emotional situations or oppositions, so taking a moment to assess & recenter yourself before responding to anything & everything will be essential. Cancer doesn’t like too many changes in emotional relationships, but Mars here can become a lot more agitated & make impulsive mistakes that can rock the boat, hence adding to Cancer’s frustrations (see why Mars in Cancer is not an easy ride?!?).
Although, one thing Mars & Cancer can agree on is their protective & assertive nature, so you can expect to see yourself or your loved ones becoming more passionate in your relationships, building stronger emotional bonds. There may not be grand gestures of affection all the time (Mars in Cancer can be shy about these things sometimes 😌), but certainly unconditional love & care with a hint of possessiveness.
On the other hand, there may be tensions in your home situation, either with family members, about the home/property/land, etc. Relationship with your parents/family/kids may be tense with erratic emotions rising up & down. This is especially where your patience will be needed the most. Since, arguments can turn into fights and eventual burning down of bridges. Ego and power struggles can cause major regrets in the long run. Compassion and a little tact can save your bonds from unfortunate disappointments.
If you are in restrictive or controlling relationships, this transit can help you assert your authority and take back control over your life by breaking free from such connections. For the next two months (till May 20), in any situation, using soft power, a little compromise, kindness and may be harmless manipulation to slide over risky situations (Mars & Cancer after all) will be a game changer in handling this transit.
This Mars transit will bring a new approach to directing your productive energy by bringing a fiery new momentum. Your passionate nature can be increased especially while working on creating a stronger & more stable foundation in life, be it, emotional, familial and/or financial. You will be able to focus on building your finances and creating a more stable home-environment. Peace and harmony will be hard earned in your private life, but it will be well-worth it considering how this transit can revitalize your drive for life & bring back passion that is not just a raw sense of accomplishment but also of gratification. This spring is guaranteed to be full of fiery passion. 🔥
