Consider this your fair warning: do not piss off Capricorn, Aries, Libra, and especially Cancer over the next six weeks. Mars, the planet of action and aggression, is moving into Cancer tomorrow and staying there until September 27th. And when Mars lands in this emotional water sign, the cardinal signs are going to feel it the most intensely.
Your villain mode is officially activated
If you're a cardinal sign, you're about to be fired up in a way you haven't been in a while. Your tolerance for anything that doesn't serve you is going to plummet. You might feel passionate and energetic, sure, but you're also going to get pissed off way more easily than usual. My advice? Take a breath before you go off on someone. Your emotions are going to feel stronger, and while that intensity isn't necessarily a bad thing, it does mean you need to be intentional about how you channel it.
Pay attention to what's triggering you now because it may reveal what you're no longer willing to tolerate.
We're all going to feel moodier
Even if you're not a cardinal sign, Mars in Cancer is going to affect everyone. We're all going to be a little moodier, a little more passive aggressive, and we're all going to need to feel emotionally aligned before we can take action. I can tell you this firsthand because I was born with Mars in Cancer, and let me tell you, the emotional intensity is real. Wherever Cancer falls in your chart, that's where you're going to feel amped up. Check the transit calendar in my AstroBella app and click on the 11th to see exactly where this is hitting your chart.
Take care of your nervous system
Because things are going to be hitting harder right now, it's really important to take care of yourself. This is an excellent time to meditate, spend time in nature, and practice breathing exercises. Your nervous system is going to need the support. And if you have a cardinal sign in your life? Tread lightly. Offer them massages, lots of massages. If they don't want to be touched, buy them a gift certificate because they're definitely going to need it. You've been warned. Good luck out there.
