The warrior planet is not designed for fighting in sensitive Cancer. This sign is made for nurturing and caring, not war and conflict. This transit does encourage tender ways of addressing differences and more cautious approaches to initiating activities. However, it’s also associated with passive-aggressive behavior that masks real feelings of vulnerability. Whining around the edges of issues instead of addressing them directly can be disempowering and disingenuous.

New Moon Report for May 11 – Mars in Taurus

Mars in Taurus

Energetic Mars slows down in this fixed sign where it is more inclined to stay in place than to forge ahead. Asserting ourselves may be more difficult with the warrior planet in placid Taurus as overt expressions of anger tend to be repressed. Passive-aggressive behavior often occurs when we’re unable to be straightforward about our feelings. The positive side of this transit is consistency of effort that may not be exciting or creative, but provides a calming sense of continuity in times of radical change.
