I have always loved health and fitness, but when coupled with a low self-esteem, I tended to lean into extremes to get my body “perfect.” I worked out 3 hours a day at a minimum. I counted every calorie that both entered and left my body. I severely restricted myself from anything that I deemed “unhealthy.” I villainized food. I craved validation from others. My mental health was deteriorating. I was constantly angry. I lived in fear. Refused to go out to eat because I couldn’t track every calorie. It was a rough life that I lived for many, many years. I should’ve known better as a personal trainer, but that was difficult when my mind was flooded with hatred for my own body and ran on crippling anxiety. 
One day in 2018, my body decided enough was enough and gave out on me. I developed an incurable pancreatic condition due to my unhealthy lifestyle. I was forced to stop working out. I couldn’t work. I became severely chronically ill. My relationships failed all around me, and all I could talk about was how much I hated my body. I gained 40+ lbs from the PCOS that I didn’t know that I had since puberty (that’s for another story—stay tuned for more on this). 
Spring of 2020, I slipped back into my old ways and slimmed down quickly. I still didn’t think that I was skinny enough. Was still hating my body, and needed validation from others. 
In the spring and summer of 2021, my body gave out again, and I was forced to stop working for a second time. The difference this time was that I was determined to heal my mental health, and that, my friends, was one of the few successes of this time. 
In February 2022, I had my first endometriosis surgery and shortly after recovery my body gained weight rapidly. From the middle of April of 2022 to the start of August I gained well over 50 lbs. PCOS was running my life, and I didn’t know how to find time to take a breath and heal—until now. 
🌙 I put my knowledge of over a decade in holistic health/medical astrology/TCM practices to the test. 
🌙 I found the supplements and nutrients that my body needed. 
🌙 I worked on my mental health. I started to heal my autonomic nervous system. 
🌙 I began to heal my relationship with myself BEFORE I even focused on losing weight to get TRULY healthy. 
Here I am now at roughly 230 lbs (approximately 80 lb weight gain), but ready to make a final change for the better. 
👉🏼 Follow me along on doing this the right way this time while incorporating a more authentic and holistic lifestyle. I will go into my metaphysical and holistic lifestyle journey soon!

Mars has moved into Cancer after being in Gemini for about eight months. What a ride it has been! Although Mars doesn’t work well in Cancer, it’ll be a much needed change for everyone!

Mars in Cancer doesn’t make fast moves. Your emotions can fall into the aggressive/forceful/overly touchy/over emotional side of things. If you lean into the strengths of this placement (there aren’t as many since Mars is in fall in Cancer) you can have some new blessings come your way!

Try to not be wishy-washy and don’t make decisions from your emotions. Take a breather and ground yourself a lot more during this time. Rest and don’t push yourself. This is a good placement for putting drive behind the Cancer house in your chart. For example, I have Cancer in the 3rd house. This is a good time for communication, working in my local community, learning new things etc.
