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 of little creatures 🙂 Less a leader and more of an eater . A security seeker. Mars rules war and what do we want in a warrior? Someone who doesn’t feel like fighting? 😉
I found this great book the other day in my collection that I’d forgotten about, Sexuality In The Horoscope and one of the articles has a great list (you know I love my lists) of the higher/lower sides of the planetary energies.
This is the Mars list, notice the progression here:
Leadership
Strengthens
Activates
Instigates
Energizes
Desires
Competes
Angers
Attacks
This list reminded me of a relationship I had once with a Mars in Capricorn. Did we strengthen each other? Sometimes. Did we attack each other? Sometimes.
Worthwhile for you to find the Capricorn house in your chart. Mars enters Capricorn tonight and sextiles Neptune (a protective, compassionate aspect) and then later this month, Mars squares Uranus, sextiles Saturn, conjuncts Pluto. Mars in Capricorn will be a busy busy Mars for us.
Will you lead? Or will you attack?

I am working on my Readings page, trying to explain better what I *do* here. Take a look!

Aliza, Mars appears to be in the 10th house on top of my True Node – can u tell me what that means? Is it a kick start in life purpose?
I have Mars in Cancer and this may explain why today I was trying to figure out in therapy how I can be both competitive but also will NEVER step on another person to get something I want. I couldn’t make sense of the contradiction, but I think Mars in Cancer says a lot about it. The conversation was mostly about work, work relationships and hierarchies – and my Mars is 10th house. It’s not a great placement in a traditional work environment, I have no conception or respect for an emphasis on hierarchy as I treat people as human beings first and foremost, I don’t put people in boxes and often forget this is very important for others.
This is why Mars in Cancer is amazing 🙂 because we don’t step on others 🙂 Not very Marsy though…. Mars in 10th House is interesting… could bring difficulties but may push you to… ACHIEVE !!!!!
My ascendant is Cappy so that means it is in my first house, right?
(I really need to step it up a notch in my understanding of astrology.)
I feel fiestier and stronger. I wonder if there is a correlation?
Also–more serious.
Have a great weekend Aliza!
12th and/or 1st… depending on the degree of your ASC… Feeling feisty and strong sounds like a 1st H Mars transit to me!
I have Capricorn 4th house & currently Mars is sitting on my IC, Pluto is transiting this house as well. I don’t always use the higher side of Mars as I can go from 0 to bitch in nothing flat. This feels like it ties into Gemini eclipse since it conjuncts my natal Mars.
I need to avoide the fight or be f-ing prepared for one. Yea! Just in time for Thanksgiving
Ooooh could be a power struggle at home. Or home renovation!
What’s interesting is I can feel a fever blister starting & the last time I had one was when my daughter’s Pastor was extremely rude to me at church & I lost my voice the next day. I think I’m being reminded to “watch my mouth” so I do think this requires more digging for understanding.
Lots of projects to complete at home. I think I’ve found a contractor, it’s a woman so I’m kind of excited, we’re meeting after Thanksgiving.
THANK YOU FOR THESE POSTS!!! A head’s up is always great, I just have to be calm & not worry so but I do NOT want to be blindsided & it feels pending.
This is a mostly random response, but I’ve recently given up caffeine. This is Day Three. I have Virgo Rising AND Virgo Moon AND Virgo South Node I didn’t realize/remember how anxious/worrying I was UNTIL I gave up caffeine. Truth is I don’t need it. I am my own motor 🙂 I may return to it again someday but it’s been an interesting experiment so far…
I too have Mars in Cancer. We had puppies last night and while most of the pups weighed between 8-10 oz, one little girl was barely 4oz. I stayed up all night making sure she was nursing and keeping up with her litter. So far, so good. Taking care of little things and pulling for the underdog. 🙂
So true. Usually I’m a big defender of my Mars in Cancer 😉 This post was more teasing.
