Cancer Cancer
February 12 ~ February 26
It may be mid- Feb already, but until Mars stations direct again in your sign Cancer on Sunday, Feb. 23, you may be feeling a bit in limbo-land, waiting for 2025 to still to kick in. January all on its own was one ‘helluva year’, and it may have had you feeling as if you were swinging by the tail of the dragon up until the Chinese New Year/New Moon in Aquarius on Wednesday, Jan. 29. Welcome Wood Snake. What the year ahead promises is renewal on the heels of metamorphoses, Scorpio style, as in shedding the old skins to make room for a rebirth. It will be transformative. So, what do you want? What desires are you energizing? With Mars transiting through your sign, it can embolden you to take risks and to make brave strides on the evolutionary swim. But the yang energy of Mars is inverted due to its retrograde, which is keeping the task on travel on the inner landscapes instead. You will not have to look or feel too far to view the peak of the growth curve at play. In fact, you are very likely still bathing in some of those teachings as we speak. Loving Venus just entered Aries on Tuesday, Feb. 4, and will have a longer stay because it’s her turn for a retrograde cycle, March 1 ~ April 12. Typically, Venus takes four-to-five weeks to venture through a sign, but you are likely already feeling her slow-down and she will not clear the shadow of the retrograde until mid-May, so a solid three months at bay. This lines up nicely with Mars not clearing his shadow from the retrograde until May 1. With all that said, rushing into anything is ill-advised. Feel it through. Return to old projects and spend more meaningful moments to deepen and strengthen your loving connections. Mercury enters fellow water sign Pisces on V day, Friday, Feb. 14, and will form an elevating trine to Mars on the very day Mars stations direct in your sign on Feb. 23. Take note, this represents a benchmark in time, and symbolizes leveling up emotionally, soulfully and spiritually. What does it look like for you to evolve, Cancer? What result would make your heart proud? The Gods are sure to shower you with celestial gifts for all of the emotional grunt work you’ve been doing. The timeless prize will be well worth its weight in gold, and then some. Finish strong and the heavens will be singing your praises.
There is no better feeling than that!
