Mars in Cancer is bringing heated emotions to the surface, and as they oppose each other we are coming to a final confrontation with deep powerful emotions. Avoid power struggles, let go of obsessions and try to flow with this energy in the “present” as much as possible. “Getting back to the pot of gold — the Sun and Venus in Leo are asking us to focus on the love and opportunities in the “now.” Change is inevitable, if we can let go of past hurt, resentment and pain we can begin to recognize the more golden reality staring us in the face. Leo rules the 5th house, and this is the energy calls for spontaneity, courage, creativity and the ability to be vulnerable enough to acknowledge one’s hearts desires. “To understand Leo’s energy it would help to remember, the Sun continues to shine on all creation (without expectation of anything in return) even behind the darkest clouds. It is us who need patience for the storm to pass, and have faith that the Sun will come out and shine again.
