Daily Horoscope for Cancer Summary

Mars will move into Gemini on August 20, 2022, at 4:03 a.m. EST so we will see an obvious transition from slow-moving Taurus. When Mars was in Taurus, it was like it was in battery-saving, low-power mode. Now that Mars has entered Gemini, we can expect him to pick up a lot more speed and energy.

Mars is fire and action and what drives us and propels us forward. Our collective will and energy, pointing to how we defend ourselves and how we fight. With Gemini being a Mercury-ruled sign, pay attention to what is being said in public, as in the media. On a personal level, the messages we send to each other can be more passionate and direct. Mars in Gemini 2022 can help us develop our hobbies, and interests, try new things or experiment with new technologies.

Mars in a Mercury-ruled sign can have us on our toes. Mercury can be a bit of a trickster, so it would be best to prepare for either charm or cunning in communication. Just look atwhat happened during the last Mercury retrograde, a time infamous for miscommunication! We could get more of that. While that can show up as precise and eloquent speech, possibly even steamy texts or bedroom talk, that clever use of words can also create anxious and monotonous thoughts and even deceitful uses of language to trick or manipulate someone. Be on guard for that.

While Mars typically spends about 45 days in a zodiac sign, this transit will be an unusually long stay for Mars as there is a Mars retrograde, that begins on October 30, 2022, and lasts until January 12, 2023. Mars will not enter the next sign of Cancer until March 25, 2023. A long collective lesson we will have in our Gemini house and the clues about what your Mars retrograde story will be, start now. Pay close attention to any conversations you have, events that take place, people you meet, or messages you receive as they will very likely re-appear and be even more important once fall comes.

The Daily Horoscope for Cancer

To keep this fast-paced energy from reaching a frenetic or frenzied pace, this is a good time to start a self-care practice like mindful meditation. This transit can cause information and sensory overload for you and making time for rest, relaxation, and recuperation will be important to keeping anxious thoughts from overwhelming you. Sitting with your thoughts and feelings will help you better understand where or who they are coming from. Establish boundaries, so you do not take on the negative thoughts of others.

Today's Astrology Quote of the Day:
Failure or success seem to have been allotted to men by their stars...
But they retain the power of wriggling, of fighting with their star or against it, and in the whole universe the only really interesting movement is this wriggle...
~ E.M. Forster

Daily Tao

Pursue knowledge, daily gain
Pursue Tao, daily loss

Loss and more loss
Until one reaches unattached action
With unattached action, there is nothing one cannot do

Take the world by constantly applying non-interference
The one who interferes is not qualified to take the world
