While Mars is a two-month transit, and the Sun in Cancer will last for 30 days, the Moon will work its way through three zodiac signs. The Pisces Moon can add a dreamy element early in the week.

The Moon enters Taurus on the same day as Cancer season begins, June 20.
Although Mars in Virgo can be a positive transit, it will bring some challenges over the next several weeks, as it focuses the collective on perfection. Mars connects with Jupiter early on, making this a potent period for healing and self-discovery. We must fight for our dreams during this time and not be overly critical of the hard work we’ve done.
