I mean: use it. Productively, okay? Think about this now. When Mars in Cancer comes to oppose Pluto and square Uranus and square Saturn, you may feel, um, tense. You may have moments of…EMOTIONAL INTENSITY and okay I’ve got Mercury in Cancer (which transiting Saturn is approaching, by square) and I’m struggling to express myself today but what I’m trying to say is: use the energy inside you, building inside you. Figure this out now.Think about it.
I wrote the above paragraph this morning and now I’m home and I’ve washed off the day (my euphemism for taking a shower) and I’m feeling it and I think to myself: Self? Should I find someone to put up a speedbag for me because I’m gonna need an opening for this energy and what’s gonna come charging out is raw and real and I have no clue when my boyfriend is coming to town and what the FUCK AM I GONNA DO WITH THIS ACHE? That’s what my natal Mars in Cancer said to me as I felt transiting Mars enter Cancer and move towards the outer planets.
Here’s some advice for working with this energy: if you have a lover, keep them busy during August because Mars in Cancer has emotional responses to everything and better let it play out in the bedroom and not while you’re driving to work. Make sense? Mars Saturn is frustration. Mars Pluto is violence. Mars Uranus is explosive. Not saying you’ll have this stuff in any outward manifestation but that this energy will be IN THE AIR and likely inside you. Own the gunk inside you and you minimize the chance that it will become a Golem.
Also, Mercury is retrograde so misunderstandings, fights, are more than possible. In Leo? Pride will get in the way. Try not to beat up pride, okay?
Since we’re already talking about Mars and Pluto let me tell you a story. Ideally (and I’m a Venus square Neptune girl) my lover is obsessed with *%#@&^* me. Anything short of painful passion isn’t enough. And I don’t mean psychopathology. What I’m talking about is in the MoonPluto realms of normalcy 🙂 And these transits kick up all these feelings, which are so physical. It’s never about orgasm because it’s never about relief. It’s about the moment when, the moment when, the moment when…
You know, I tried to write about this in the most recent full-length play that I was working on: the moment when. And everybody, I think, has a different “moment when.”
My point is… find the spot where this Mars transit will take root for you and… pull up a chair. Or run for your life. 😉
I hope these stories aren’t alienating to readers. I feel like I have to tell them. It’s a compulsion (Pluto) to share (Moon) my feelings (Moon) with the masses (Moon). This blog isn’t an anti-blog. I mean, I’m not political here. I’m not going to share my views or talk about yours. But this blog is anti-loneliness. Anti-isolation.
So. Get out your chart and your coffee and your donut and… you know the drill says Mars 🙂 Lay down your burdens, your weary power tools 😉 Lay them down.

Yes, lllejosefina!
MP it’s not us, it’s them. 🙂
I agree. Ten years ago I decided “the hell with this” and stopped dating. Never looked back.
We’ve made it too easy and now they’ve run amuck.
Saturn in Libra…let’s get with the program!
I’m replying to my own comment.
It’s not that simple…us vs them.
We have done the best we can, given our circumstances. Our cultures, which we help create, are already heading where they are going when we get there. We move along trying to make our lives livable/productive/happy but if the opportunity for it isn’t there, we adapt in whatever way we can to get as close to what we are trying to do.
I don’t know. Sounds like I’m armchair philosophizing again. It seems that whatever I try to say, the opposite is also true.
“It seems that whatever I try to say, the opposite is also true.”
I know the feeling!
Love the movie comments…”don’t burn down the farm” and of course the hilarious Woody Allen not knowing he was happy.
I’m one of those celibate (damn spell check changed “celibate” to “delegate”… glad I caught that one…) Scorpio types too. So looks like I’d best get some major yardwork done these days…
Anita, I hear you! let’s stick together on this.
Celibate.. sigh. Yardwork sounds like an excellent idea. I feel bad for women, I really do. I don’t mean to sound anti-male but the women I meet, mostly, are so deep, so on the ball and the men? It’s just getting worse and worse. They are just “not present” but again this is likely the result of my crappy Venus who I’m drawing in. Sorry! That sounds so negative!!
Saturn you say, oh, that old guy. Squaring my natal Saturn in cancer 18º, and trining my ascendant 16º aquarius.
Reading you makes me realize -once more- that I need some Virgo in my chart (but not at late degrees, as I have a Pisces Moon. Saturn through Virgo got me exahusted)
A little Virgo goes a long way 🙂 Make a list of things to do and voila! Virgo!
Great advice! I actually gave the same one to my mother that is having a hard time with the sky configuration at the moment, with her Sun at 9ºCancer and Mars 5º LIbra cought in the Cardinal cross …
I’ll stick to lists from now on, we’ll talk about this issue in a few months time and I’ll tell you the results 🙂
Venus at 1º Scorpio, and that’s all for early degrees. I seem to be a mid-late degree person if that exists 😉
great movie indeed.
I’d say yer in pretty good shape. Of course we still have Saturn in the mid-degrees so check yrself for his route but yes I’d say (sleepily) that your early degrees in Scorp are a good thing for this Cancer/Cap action…
My sun is at 3º Scorpio, so this Pluto and Mars transit, though they are opposing each other, they are in good aspect to my Sun, aren’t them?
Yesterday I watched “Hanna and her sisters” (you posting it’s picture and reminded me of it) and was listening to Woody Allen saying something like:
_I was happy this morning and now this
_You wer feeling misserable this morning
_No, I was happy, but I didn’t know it
So, that’s pretty much what I am starting to think, that maybe this is my happy time and I am not realizing. Go figure.
Yes, in nice aspect to your Sun. Look for any planet you have at those early-ish degrees and see what the aspect is. Go around the chart…
It’s one of my favorite movies 🙂 Maybe my favorite
Yeah. And don’t burn down the farm. I love that movie.
🙂 Good morning opal (or evening? who knows lol)
I get it. To %#@* someone is to feel/ache/bond/melt/meld. Anything less than that I cannot be bothered. That’s why recreational one of encounters have never been an option. That’s why only a meaningful relationship or one with obvious potential can ever do.
Is it akin to Sacrament for us? I wonder…
That’s why self imposed celibacy works for Moon/Plutos and/or Scorps.
Sacrament absolutely. And esp so if your chart is filled with the Neptune-Venus stuff…..
