Some good advice, thanks, Mark. I do have your chart but had forgotten that you have Mars in Cancer too.

 

I did "lash out" defensively in anger just after the Mars station in December, so I understand what you mean when you say:

 

"So, be stronger Janna. Do what you think is right. Just know too, that in the first, even being debilitated, there is a tendency to as you said, lash out, so don't do that either!"

 

And I agree that it is important (and very, very tricky) to try to come from a place of my own truth without being too confrontational. ("Tricky, really, how to stand up, more, but NOT be too Marish! at the same time").I've found these type of 'tricky' situation in my chart, as well as many others.So, they're tricky, because sometimes we need to simultaneously, stand up in some way,but at the same moment, NOT! So, I learned how to stand up for myself, but not be so Marish. For example, in that Mars of mine, I am supposed to stand up for myself! But, my Mars, is also, NOT supposed to be in the 10th house. In other words, I also learned to completely NOT flow through the Mars, so much! Instead, my chart, helped me get in touch with the deeper truth that there are much more positive ways in which I can flow with the 10th house

of public and career.I learned that the deeper, more positive energy in my 10th was that very sweet, nourishing and loving, motherly Cancer energy. You too will benefit by getting more in-touch with that. In other words, your Mars/Cancer transtit there is just a fiery, phenomenal reality.Soon, it'll be gone and you'll wonder where it went! hehe For me, I've had to learn to always, stop flowing through that Mars.Which was tricky too, because mars is so well suited to be in the 10th. But, the more I learned to flow more, through my Mars, the more positive responses I got back from life.Sure, I use my good Mars energy to be dynamic, enthuiastic, and even crusading orienting,but for me, personally, that Cancer side is much more positive! I spoke my piece with poison in true Ashlesha-Bharani fashion, then withdrew in my

Cancerian shell for a month (where I remain, slightly uneasy but at least secure, peering out of my shell from time to time to see if it is clear to venture out!). Well, here's another good example. Getting swooped up to speak with 'poison' is not obviously the best way. And, as a result, you felt, naturally to retreat for a month. So, oncewe learn to speak our truth and stand our ground, then, we won't have to lash out.And this is where I wonder if I will remain at least until Mars turns direct (at 6* conjunct my SUN) on March 10. But it seems that my strategy is to try to strengthen my position during this retrograde, as you suggest, so that I can take right(eous) action to defend my cause in the spring (and hopefully find a better housing situation when Mars enters Leo. It is becoming a very long transit of Mars in Cancer. This relatively, yes, very long Mars/Cancer transit is ideal for working on our Mars's!I would think this might be affecting your career similarly in some way, especially with the retrograde? Actually, my career has never been more positive and expanding. I don't feel the debilitating influences much any more, thank God! I remember what Yogananda said one time when asked about how to deal with so-called debilitating times or circumstances.He said: "Find me the worst day in my up-coming year's chart, and I! will accomlpishanything on that day!"I just love that expression. That's become my motto, that indeed, anything and everythingis possible, all the time.but, of course, learning to listen to Saturn, will help us know when and where we need torest and go more slowly! too.

Like you, I also have a waning (small) moon (but also somewhat Marish in Aries), so unfortunately I am often thrown off-balance by some of these major transits; but I am reading your transits commentaries even more closely these days, and find some insights that correlate with my experiences of the transits. More to reflect upon today and the weekend with (as it turns out) the first quarter Aries Moon coinciding with my lunar return too).

Once we recognize that these Transits are always going to be there to help us, as Prasadsaid, to self-improve than we can take more great advantage from them.But, yes, having your Moon in Aries, will incline you to be more Marish too. I have anotherdear friend who has her Mars in Cancer with Moon in Aries too, and she has learned a lotthis last year how to be both, more self-assertive, (due to Mars/Cancer) and yet, not soMarish due to a naturally inclined Marish Moon in Aries!Jai Guru!Mark

I vacillate between intense anger over my domestic situation (a house share with very incompatible energy) and despondence because I do not know how to change it and wonder if it has to continue through the transit of Mars in Cancer (it has intensified in acrimony since the Mars Rx station); as a result I am bitter and impatient most of the time. I think, like Prasad, Mars is yogakaraka in my chart too (natally in H2, 25*), so it is frustrating to feel "held back" by this weakened Mars warrior.

I am in JU ME JU dasa, but I don't think that TR Jupiter in House 8 is helping me at this time (although I am also not sure). But since we are both experiencing the transits in the same houses, it may be advantageous to exchange notes:
