TRANSITING MERCURY AND MARS IN CANCER


Although Mercury and Mars both move quite rapidly through the zodiac, since we are currently in the sign of Cancer, we wanted to touch on this conjunction particularly for those individuals with their Sun in Cancer.  This Conjunction began on June 23, 2017 and will be completed on July 6, 2017. 

The energies are very powerful from June 27 to June 30, 2017, when the planets form a tight conjunction between 14-19 degrees of Cancer.  Those that have their natal Sun conjunct these degrees and even those with a rising sign of Cancer near these degrees will be affected by the energies associated with transiting Mercury and Mars.

Mercury does little on its own, but with the energies of Mars, it has become activated.  Mars as well as the Sun often initiate action and can be used as timers in Astrology (along with Uranus).  Both the Sun and Mars are currently in the sign of Cancer as we write this post, indicating activities related to family along with activity on the home front.  Sometimes changes stemming from the family can be quite impulsive and even aggressive in action (Mars influence), coming out of nowhere and acting on a compulsion to move forward in a certain direction.

Mercury is the planet of the mind and is related to making plans, deciding on actions to take and influencing the potential for the signing of documents or implementing decision making.  Mars will have a tendency to make you push ahead in these avenues and decide on a course of action that you may have been putting off for some time now.  Since the Sun is involved, this could include life objectives and moving towards goals of significance.

If the Ascendant is involved some people move forward with plans of engagement, decide on a house to buy or refurnish, set plans in motion with respect to family planning or to buy items or sign documents of importance.  These actions often have effects that are far reaching and will change people’s lives significantly.  In most cases, these plans set in motion during this time are worth pursuing, but it is important to have a look at the rest of the chart to make sure it agrees with this potential.

If this conjunction affects the midheaven especially by conjunction, trine and sextile, these actions may involve your occupation, your status in life and may even affect your public reputation, often in a productive manner. 

If challenged by a square or opposition aspect, you may have to watch how you handle these energies and ensure that you do not jump into something that might not work out for you over the long haul.

Mars can act on its own, at times, and your input may not be required.  The best results, however, usually come when you use your own initiative to utilize the energies at hand.  Use these energies at your disposal to your advantage and insure that you take into consideration the effects your actions may have on your family and the home environment in the long haul.  Much may be at stake but the energies are set in motion for you to take advantage of them in a positive manner.
