Cancer August 2011: "For Cancer 1st and 2nd decans, MARS conjunct your Sun in August gives a tremendous increase in ego drive, a strong urge to get what you want regardless of what other people may think. You are much more self assertive than usual and this could cause arguments or conflict with others because of your desire to win at all costs. You can achieve a lot with this energy if you channel it constructively. Physical activity is especially favored so competing hard to win in team or individual contests is ideal to express this fiery energy.
Winning in any area of life, achieving your goals will go well so long as you remember you do not have to destroy others off the sporting field. A good example of this is with physical love relationships, sex is a great way to express this energy as your sex drive is heightened, and this can be most rewarding for both of you so long as that aggression in channeled into passion. For 1st decan this is from August 3 to 18, for 2nd decan from August 19 to 31.
