Indy’s August/September Guidance

Mars in Cancer Is Bringing Our Mother Wounds to the Surface

From August 11 through September 28, Mars is moving through Cancer.

Mars = action, anger, conflict, passion and protection. Cancer = our emotions, family, home, childhood, mothers, women, and emotional memory. When Mars enters Cancer, our emotions have a stronger influence over our actions.

This can be a time when we notice ourselves reacting more emotionally than usual, especially when it comes to family, relationships and domestic situations. Our families may have more emotional influence over us, whether we are fighting for them, fighting about them or fighting with them. The same goes for our relationships and home life, where issues around safety, comfort, boundaries and emotional security can become much more important. Because Cancer is also connected to feminine energy, we may see this show up surrounding mothers, women, femininity, and our emotions.

Mars does not particularly like being in the sign of Cancer. Mars prefers signs like Aries and Capricorn, where its energy has more direction, structure and freedom to take straightforward action. In Cancer, Mars is considered to be in its fall, which means it has a harder time operating in the way it naturally prefers. Cancer is ruled by the Moon, and the Moon is cyclical, constantly changing and connected to our emotions and hormonal rhythms. Because of this, Mars in Cancer can have an unsteady pace, with periods of intense action followed by withdrawal, hesitation or emotional overwhelm. Mars wants to know where it is going, while Cancer moves according to how it feels.

Cancer also represents our emotional memory. You may forget exactly what somebody said or did, but you usually do not forget how they made you feel. Mars can bring heat back into those memories. Old resentment, trauma and experiences we thought we were over can suddenly become triggering again.

This does not have to be a bad thing. Anger is an informative emotion. It can show us where a line was crossed, where a boundary was missing and what we still need to heal. Sometimes something has to be triggered again before we realize it is still affecting us.

Mars in Cancer and the Mother Wound

One of the biggest things I expect Mars in Cancer to bring to the surface is the mother wound. Our mother is often our first teacher when it comes to our emotional relationship with ourselves and other people. Through that relationship, we begin learning how to feel, regulate ourselves, express emotions, receive comfort and understand whether our emotional needs are safe to have.

Mother wounds do not always come from obviously traumatic relationships either. You can have a loving mother and still realize there were certain things you needed from her that you did not receive. Mars in Cancer can make those missing pieces much easier to recognize. For daughters especially, this can also bring up anger we have been taught to feel guilty for having.

And the mother wound is only the beginning. Our mothers are also often our first introduction to womanhood itself, which means the mother wound can eventually become a feminine wound. Mars in Cancer can expose our relationship with femininity, female anger, sister wounds, competition and jealousy between women, old female friendship wounds and the ways our experiences with women continue to affect us today.
