*+-I was listening to a podcast just now (I have a couple favorites) and the host was saying “self help” but what I heard was “self hate” and I thought this was funny, and this morning I exercised first thing, and there was a moment when a part of my […]
Mars in Cancer
72 posts
*+-How to let it go and move on? That’s my question tonight as I contemplate leaving a relationship and realizing that Pluto is about to make (I think) it’s LAST pass to my Mars. Pluto has been opposing my Mars for YEARS, the last of three Pluto transits to my […]
*+-In astrology, the sign of Cancer is associated with home (among other things). Mercury enters Cancer today. Mars is already in Cancer. The Moon will be in Cancer for a couple days this week, and about a month from now we will experience the first of the summer eclipses, this […]
*+-Let’s talk about Cancer Season. I have my Sun, Mercury, and Mars there. And that stellium squares my Jupiter. That’s a lot of moon. Jupiter EXPANDS what it touches. I’m far from unbiased. I have a blind spot. Unlikely I can see Cancer Season clearly and what we need to […]
*+-The first in a series of posts about sex. The secret ingredient to sex is love. I am quoting a line from Lars von Trier‘s movie Nymphomania. But it’s different for everyone. There are people who… have sex and it functions as a reset button, a cup of coffee. They […]
*+-Giving someone a share of your burden is a mental thing. And I don’t mean “crazy” mental thing. I do mean… it’s something you think about, when you’re in relationship (with lovers OR friends) that you… don’t have to hold on so damn tightly (Four of Pentacles) to whatever you […]
*+-Mars is still in Cancer. I have Mars in Cancer in my natal. Sex (Mars) to me is the most personal (Cancer) thing in the world. Mars rules my 8th House. The 8th House rules sex. It is PERSONAL. Private. There are worlds between my actual sexual experience and what/how […]
*+-My boyfriend has gone out to get himself a snack and I have separation anxiety. I can’t remember the last time I had something that I didn’t want to lose. I have my Sun, Mercury, and Mars in Cancer. Vulnerable. Cancer Season is over but Mars is in Cancer and […]
*+-Last night I felt my name. Aliza. Happy. Mars is opposing Pluto right now. Mars is your rage. Pluto? Devastation, desolation. Death and rebirth. Mars is sex. Mars is the hero. Mars is YOU. This aspect will be exact tomorrow so keep a cool head. Cancer to Capricorn. Mars in […]
*+-Busy day for me and I am taking a blog break! We are coming off a brutal (by my standards) heatwave in the Big City. Right now, amazing, I am sitting here with just my fan and am okay. Twenty degrees cooler than yesterday: BETTER. (Late breaking news flash: turned […]
*+-Two things going on: 1. the class that Matthew and I will be doing on VENUS & MARS, including individual looks at your own Venus and Mars situations and how we can help your love life! Monday start date! Please visit THIS LINK HERE and THIS LINK for info 2. a new summer special […]
*+-All or nothing all or nothing all or nothing. One thing I love about Virgos: they want to DO BETTER. This can morph into a bottomless pit of self-loathing, yes, but once they get that out of their system (due to transits or other calamity), they rise. I have […]
*+-Do not underestimate Cancer’s extreme need, Cancer’s requirement to feel safe, before getting anything done — and this can mean work, sex, love, any challenge, ANYTHING. Even going to the store. Simple things. A mood swing can send Cancer back to bed. And I am thinking of Cancer Sun or […]
*+-This blog post is for JJ, my Facebook buddy (she reminded me to write it!) and for anyone else thinking about these issues. Yesterday I was saying that I wanted to write about intimacy and the sacredness of sex and… I’m not sure where to start. So I’ll talk about […]
*+-Moon is in Virgo all day and not ALL Virgos (Sun or Moon) are health obsessed (i.e. health nuts) but I would say that they know their own bodies as well (if not better) than the doctors and healers diagnosing them thus… if you have a Virgo client, TRUST their perceptions. […]
*+-Better to be angry than sad is what I’m thinking on the subway ride home. Sadness has its place, yes. But there’s this one variety of it… it sucks you dry, no blood left to boil all that potential anger in and make your meal. I had a moment today. […]
*+-Mars in Cancer is a protector — of the weak, of the vulnerable – but also wants a protector. Mars in Cancer likely cries as she/he protects. Not very Marsy, is it? It’s not easy for Mars in Cancer to stand up for him or herself. It’s somewhat easier to […]
*+-One of those nights in the Big City. I had run my errands. I had had dinner. I’d been craving pizza. Even though I had to pee and public bathrooms in NYC are scarce (unless you are near a Starbucks which is usually most of the time) and I had […]
*+-Dear Reader, All the faith it took to get you where you are today. Remember it was only last year how scared you were. It was a leap of faith, wasn’t it? Leap: a forceful jump or quick movement. An abrupt change or transition. You did it. Mazel Tov 🙂 […]
*+-I wanted to do a Tarot post this morning, a love forecast for the weekend, but maybe later. One of my cats is resting on my Tarot deck 🙂 and I have Mars in Cancer. I don’t want to disturb him. Mars in Cancer nurtures and protects and takes care […]
*+-I could hear a child being beaten as I walked home tonight. The slightly cooler weather makes for open windows. At first I wasn’t sure if what I heard was what I heard. The sound of the child and what sounded like a whip. You know that sound. It was […]
A few thoughts on reader questions and yes I am keeping the querents anonymous… *** So and so was wondering about Saturn transiting one’s 1st house and I can tell you this: The 1st astrologer I ever went to told me this transit meant I was “back in charge.” Saturn […]
*+-Usually I like to keep my desk tidy. It’s where I work and write and since some of the keys on my netbook broke, I have a new keyboard that plugs in — which makes sitting on the futon and typing, for example, more challenging. Lately my desk is what […]
*+-(Read Part 1 here) Some habits, some patterns, seem impossible to change, fix, defeat. This is about my Mars (desire) in Cancer (security, food) square Jupiter (excess, optimism). It’s not that I binge eat although if you give me a decent-sized portion of food, I will likely finish it. It’s […]
