Mars moves into the sign of Cancer, a Cardinal, water sign today, April 23, 2021. It remains in Cancer until June 12, 2021, and does not move into retrograde during this time span.
Mars is
about drive and push and often speaks of ambition and energy in life. In challenging aspect, Mars has been proven
to be the instigator of aggressive action.
Sometimes Mars equates with accidents and even violence but nearly
always promotes activity.
Mars in
positive aspect can reach towards achievement and can move ahead in quite a
bold and impressive spur. Its energies
push you to stand up for what you believe in and for the rights of others as
well as your own rights and promotes growth through hard work and a strong push
to achieve.
Regardless
of the aspect with Mars, you can always use its energies in a positive way, if
you direct these energies constructively.
It is about focus and determination but this is what the lessons focus
on.
The
influences also depend on the aspects Mars make while moving through the sign
of Cancer and its house placement, but this often speaks to energy directed
towards family and nurturing. Mars in
its natal placement (in your personal chart) must also be clearly analyzed to
get the full picture of what Mars means specifically for you. Cancer is associated with protection and
caring for others and especially your personal family. Cancer is the mother of the Zodiac and if the
kids are in trouble, you know that Mom will be there for them. The Moon of course which is ruled by Cancer
often denotes the mother in Astrology.
The transit
of Mars is often used as a timer and Mars moves rapidly through the
zodiac. Its influence can be felt up to
5 degrees approaching and dissipates at 2 degrees after separation. A three- or four-day period will be when
Mars’ energies are at their peak.
On its own,
Mars might have little influence, but to set off other transits, it often
stimulates activity. Much depends on the
other transits in place, how they are placed in the natal chart and the aspects
they are making. A clear and concise
delineation is always required to get the full influence at any given time.
Sometimes
people become worried when Mars is in play, but as mentioned, other factors
must correlate with what is taking hold in life. However, Mars is the significator of action
and should not be ignored.
