Home Is Where The Heat Is This Fall"},"content":{"rendered":"\n
Smokeshow Mars hunkers down in the sign of the domestic Crab on September 4. With hot-blooded Mars in homey Cancer until November 3, hibernation vibes blend with stress. Your Mars in Cancer horoscope can help you through cuffing season without turning into a #tradwife.<\/strong><\/h6>\n\n\n\n

Home is where the heat is when excitable (and agitator!) Mars<\/a> zooms into heartfelt Cancer for the next two months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reduce any rising tension under your roof by making sure everyone has enough space to do their thing. Declutter areas that may have become catch-alls while you were having fun this summer. Redecorate with simple touches any areas that appear unwelcoming after the piles are excavated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The red planet\u2019s motivational influence may even inspire you to start a home-based business or begin a fall fitness challenge you could do with family or roommates. (Who took the most steps a day or made the best GF pasta dish? Winner!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fall\u2019s back-to-school stress and busy activity schedules can fan flames of conflict. A dip in temperature (in some places) is a reminder that winter isn\u2019t that far off, and what feels cozy can quickly feel like cabin fever when hot-blooded Mars is in sensitive Cancer. Try to get out of the house whenever emotions start to amplify.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or channel that feisty energy into healthy outlets, like a thrice-weekly yoga practice or a painting class. You may need a break from roommates and relatives, who can try your patience during this Mars cycle. Channel any brewing frustration into a physical or creative outlet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Why the push-pull of Mars in Cancer, anyway?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There’s a fundamental mismatch between brash, outgoing Mars and nurturing, introverted Cancer. Mars is said to be \u201cin fall<\/a>\u201d in the sign of Cancer, meaning this is one of the more challenging signs for the red planet to be housed in. Warning: with aggro Mars in \u202fthis emo water sign<\/a> and house, you can be moodier than most, with a tendency to tear up at the drop of a dime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t get us wrong. Mars in Cancer likes it<\/em> when you hang out at home. But this action-star planet has zero tolerance for slothlike behavior. You may feel more like an HGTV star during this transit, ready to sledgehammer through drywall to create an open-concept kitchen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So that brings us to a huge caveat: Mars in any sign is rash<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There’s a reason people work with contractors on large-scale projects, so maybe put down the sledgehammer, k? Manageable DIY magic is more welcome now. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the emotional front, Mars in Cancer comes with a trigger alert and <\/em>a warning label. Sensitivities are heightened during this cycle. Which means that yes, you’ll probably take things that family and friends say very <\/em>personally. We recommend nursing wounds privately and with neutral third parties before <\/em>you reach out with a metaphoric crab claw and pinch back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mars in Cancer hot takes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Here are some quick ideas for things you can do to manage the energy of Mars in Cancer. Your sign\u2019s horoscope follows for specific advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do a space clearing. <\/strong>Channel nervous energy that Mars drives up into decluttering, decorating and deep cleaning. But don’t be too <\/em>fast to give away any prized possessions or family heirlooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let your body go with the flow. <\/strong>When cabin fever spikes tension with your housemates, get out in the fresh air for gentle exercise. Athletic Mars loves when you move your body and Cancer is a water sign<\/a>. While it may not be warm enough for a swim, think “yoga flow” or a bike ride around a lake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turn your kitchen table into a workspace. <\/strong>Enterprising Mars could spark the idea for a cottage industry (and maybe even a #cottagecore one). Don\u2019t be surprised if your home becomes a hub for entrepreneurial inspiration!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Listen to the birds and bees. <\/strong>Considering a move or trying to get pregnant? Family matters accelerate under the red planet\u2019s influence, so make sure you\u2019re ready before you start trying. Results could come faster than expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
