3 Zodiacs That Need To Slow Down As Mars Enters Cancer (9/4)

When Mars, the planet of motivation and self-assertion, enters sentimental Cancer, collective productivity levels divert. While we feel helpful regarding domestic, family, and relationship matters, the typical daily grind is more difficult to maintain. From September 4 to November 4, 2024, Mars transits Cancer. We must honor our emotional needs, framing our routines and responsibilities around our sensitive capacity.

A few zodiac signs, in particular, require extra caution and to slow their roll. These star signs will find that the universe asks them to change their approach to completing tasks. They must listen to their intuition to meet their goals under this Cancer Mars transit. Their timing will rely on more subtle emotional cues than traditional attitudes about proactiveness being objective.

Read on for your zodiac sign. You may want to consider your Sun, Moon, and Rising signs if you know your “big three.”

Aries

As Mars enters Cancer, your psychological sector is disrupted, Aries. It’s okay to take your time during this transit. While you don’t need to totally shut down your daily life, try your best to keep your obligations at a minimum. Say no when your agenda is already full. Exerting too much of yourself will backfire. During this transit, the ideal is to channel your energy into developing deeper self-awareness, relationship growth, and making your home feel like your safe space.

Taurus

Your communication will lean into more direct, assertive tendencies as Mars transits Cancer. There will be empowerment that follows. However, there’s an easy opportunity for others to hear your words as aggressive, combative, or invalidating. Think before you vocalize your thoughts. Consider who you’re talking to, how they’ll take it, and if it’s the right audience for the sentiment. This transit is an excellent time to move slower, allowing your restless mind to settle. Refrain from entertaining every thought that passes by. Practice deliberate discernment.

Leo

During this Cancer Mars transit, your subconscious will feel quite tender. It’s time to process your emotions. Being constantly on the go and concerned about your next big move is only part of success. The other equally essential element of life is knowing when to rest and recover. As unresolved past emotions arise to be processed, hold space with yourself. Don’t rush your healing process. You cannot even if you tried. Avoiding your feelings will only lead to self-sabotaging patterns, creating a bigger mess externally. Resolve the internal battle instead.
