The voyage of Mars through Cancer gives us the opportunity to blend the fiery planet’s initiative with Cancerian concerns for preservation. We’ll want to spend this time carefully building things that honor and acknowledge our connection to the past and to family values. Our urge to move forward during this time doesn’t cut us off from familiar patterns, but includes them, to make for a more gentle and comfortable step into the future.
It’s true that Mars is toned down when it moves through sensitive Cancer, but that doesn’t mean we won’t get anything done. If we learn how to work with the Mars-in-Cancer energy, a great deal can be accomplished. Digging into domestic tasks is one of the best ways to use this transit. Mars in Cancer is a great opportunity to get out your hammer and nails so you can start (or finish) a home improvement project.
You may also feel a greater need to fight for the rights of a family member or a domestic situation during this time. Even though Mars in Cancer prefers using its energy to nurture, it will ultimately do whatever it takes to defend what and whom it cares about. As a result, you may notice that an intensely protective instinct takes over your actions when Mars and Cancer sync up.
The problem with Mars’ transit though cautious Cancer is that rather than taking a direct approach to going after what we want, we take a more passive one. If we don’t feel emotionally connected to something, it’s unlikely we’ll take action. Unfortunately, the action we do take is usually ruled by the heart, and may be more reactive and oversensitive than purposeful.
"Cancer, prepare for a cosmic crab-walk! The stars whisper 'sideways is the new forward' and your moon's in retrograde. Hold onto your shells!"

The Waning Crescent moon is currently 25.6 days old. The next new moon is at 18:23:21, 8 Apr 2024. The next full moon is at 23:51:09, 23 Apr 2024.
Hey there, my lovably crustacean Cancerians! The stars are telling me to deliver your cosmic memo, so buckle up, put on your favourite tie-dye shirt and let's rocket into the celestial realm faster than a photon escaping a black hole.
Now, your ever-faithful moon is currently in its Waning Crescent phase, about as thin as my patience with flat-earthers. At 25.6 days old, it's practically a millennial in moon years. Don't worry though, it's not experiencing a quarter-life crisis just yet - no existential dread or sudden need to backpack around Mars.
But this does mean that you, dear Cancer, may feel a bit like you're in the twilight zone. Everything seems slightly off-kilter, like when you remember Pluto isn't technically a planet anymore. (I'm still not over it, by the way. #JusticeForPluto)
As for the next full moon, it's due on 23rd April 2024 at precisely 23:51:09. Mark your calendars, set your sundials, or if you're really fancy, program your quantum computers. This full moon promises an emotional high tide, so prepare yourself for some serious feels. Don't be surprised if you find yourself tearing up at an episode of Star Trek. (Spock's farewell gets me every time, too.)
So, what's the good news? Well, this waning phase is a great time for introspection. You might want to hunker down in your shell and ponder the mysteries of the universe. Like, why does toast always fall butter-side down? Or, why don't we have a base 12 number system? It'd make astrology calculations so much easier!
Remember, your mood may ebb and flow like the tides of the cosmic ocean, but I promise you, it's all part of the beautiful cosmic ballet. So, grab your telescope, don your favourite lab coat, and dance like no one's observing.
Until next time, keep reaching for the stars and remember #TheMoonIsNotAFlatDisk.
#Cancer
