mars shifted back into cancer on January 6th, and will remain retrograde through February, 24th, 2025. Mars will move back into Leo on April 17th, 2025 at 8:21 pm PST // 11:21 pm EST. Mars finds more structure in the fire signs, but in Cancer, it can struggle to operate optimally due to Cancer being governed by the Moon, which is the quickest transiting body in the sky, passing through each sign in roughly 2.5 days time. This may have us feeling more emotionally reactive, sensitive, defensive, and quick to attack, which may mean that emotional conversations will be something to tread mindfully into. However, this can be a favorable time to re-invest in the basic foundations of your life and well being, reviewing your eating habits, water intake, sleep schedule, and movement routines. This may also be a time in which we're coming back to emotional decisions that we considered making in late October-November, but perhaps avoided going through on due to not wanting to hurt others' feelings or because we ourselves felt too comfortable to change things. These decisions may involve things that feel quite comfortable or safe, but are perhaps not contributing to our nourishment in a deeper way. This is a time for us to prioritize intuitive decision making and to override any emotions that may be trying to sway us in a different direction. Consider what your intuition has been guiding you to move forward on, even if it may not feel emotionally satisfactory for all parties. We cannot hold others' hands through this energy, we must parent ourselves through our emotions and choose what is best for our well being, even if that leaves others feeling dissatisfied.
