Mars Thinks You Should Be the Star of Your Own Show

There’s a lot happening in the sky today — some of it conflicting and yet all of it positive. Overnight, the moon moved into its natural home of intuitive Cancer, setting up a few days of chill vibes. Then the moon forms a trine with Jupiter in Pisces, doubling down on all that dreamy watery energy. But then the energy shifts as Mars slides into Leo, ushering in six weeks of forward momentum and passion.

The Moon Moves Into Cancer at 3:22 AM

While we were sleeping, the moon moved into its native sign of watery Cancer, and things probably started to feel very chill. A Cancer moon is a whole vibe—deeply emotional, intuitive, and protective. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself needing to slow down and withdraw. A Cancer moon can turn us all into homebodies. We want to surround ourselves with things we love, and we want to nurture the people we love.

You could say Cancer is the ultimate hostess—in that lush, comfy, ethereal vibe sort of way. This is unlike Leo, who would be jealous to hear anyone else being referred to as the hostess with the mostest. Leo goes all out with the drama and the wow factor. Cancer just wants you to sink into your surroundings and turn inward to explore and nurture your own soul.

The next days will be filled with sensitivity and empathy, and you might not feel up to a whole lot of forward momentum or corporate ladder climbing. So, consider it a respite to gather your strength before Leo comes roaring through.

The Moon Is Trine Jupiter at 7:33 AM

This morning, the moon in Cancer forms a watery trine with Jupiter in Pisces, and it puts us in a pleasant, lighthearted state of mind. It’s an ideal time to share your emotions with others. Your relationships will benefit from openness and honesty.

You’re in a generous mood and feeling very sociable. This transit can bring about social success and material gain.

Mars Moves Into Leo at 9:16 AM

Later this morning, Mars — the planet of action, drive, and motivation — moves into Leo, the consummate star of the show. This comes after a period of time when Mars’ fire was tempered in the sign of Cancer — one of its least favorite places to reside.

With Mars in bold Leo, you can expect your overall energy to pick up the pace a bit. This goes for your personal life — including your libido — and your professional life. You’re not afraid to go after exactly what you want, and you could accomplish big things over the next six weeks.

Just make sure you’re not 100% focused on yourself. Other people have feelings too.
