Unfortunately, Mars in the zodiac sign next to yours for the next 8 ½ weeks is going to feel like an invisible gremlin is spending your money. We all go through times when more money is going out than is coming in. The natural response is to budget, but not even the most flexible budget can restrain Mars when it's traveling through Cancer. The best advice is to keep tabs on purchases, negotiate the best deals you can, and DON'T take your frustration out on people you've hired, commissioned, or financially support. It's not their fault money's burning a hole in your pocket – it's Mars's.
