Facing the past to move forward

Cosmic Catalogue

We’ve finally arrived at the point on the astrological timeline many would prefer to avoid: Mars retrograde in Cancer.

 Not unlike any other astrological occurrence, you can choose to meet this head-on and remain open to the learning opportunity it provides. Another option is to whine and moan about it and eventually complain that nothing has improved for you.

 You see, if you don’t face your stuff, you’ll continue to stuff your face! The question begs, what are you stuffing your face with? Trapped emotions from the past? Fear of moving forward because of the emotions you attach to certain situations? 

 Do you run, avoid, and deny? Are you distracted? Social media? Meaningless relationships? Alcohol? Food? Gaming? Netflix? Pleasures of the flesh? Everyone has some of these to a point, but the next few months invite you to cut, sever, burn, or separate from the repetitive emotional loops that keep you from having what you really want. 

 The gift of Mars retrograde in Cancer is that when you take the charge out of a situation, then you can be in charge. Again, if you are stuffing your face, you need to face your stuff. Do the work now. You won’t regret it!
