Mars Transits Cancer Astrological Forecast
Mars Transits Cancer – A long and “hot” summer

I was out of the country in December 2012 so it took a few days before I read the horror that occurred up in Sandy Hook. I sat with tears in the airport reading the unbelievable story. Since then, public shootings have become the countries new “norm” often on a weekly basis. A numbing affect has happened since then or a desensitization. There will always be troubled and ill people in society but with guns so easy to obtain in the US the resulting violence has reached a deafening and atrocious pitch. Powerful NRA lobbyists and sophisticated “advertising” techniques that corporations and special interest groups have long employed get the results they pay handsomely for.

Cancer is the United States sun sign and Mars (guns/anger/war) will up heat up the debate through it’s transit of Cancer. Eros the asteroid of passion will be transiting with Mars upping the passion of the debate. Pluto will be opposing the asteroid Psyche in the US chart over the next 2 years. Will we move into nurturing (Cancer) or be subsumed by the power and money of the Corporation/NRA? July will be heating up the dynamics. How bad will do things have to get before change is made? Or none at all broadening even further the simmering energies.

In Cancer, Mars asserts himself sensitively, shyly, indirectly, persistently, intuitively and sympathetically. There is a need to feel connected with one’s roots and traditions in order to clarify and understand one’s direction in life. Moodiness, self-protection, vulnerabilities, unconscious fears can color one’s perceptions now. Physical and sexual energy is stimulated by feeling cared for and protected.
