Mars in the sign of Cancer

The overall influence of the red planet

The owners of Mars in Cancer avoid open conflicts and fights, knowingly feeling a losing position, but thanks to an innate understanding of this, they understand in advance that an explosion will soon burst out of a spark and often intuitively leave the dangerous place before the start of collisions, quarrels and physical fights.

They rarely voice their desires, fearing ridicule and devaluation of feelings, which they cannot calmly and adequately resist. To study the planet, it is necessary to clearly know the features of its impact on fate:

• the goal should always emotionally excite the native’s imagination, so that the interest to act decisively exceeds fears and doubts;
• willpower depends on mood swings and the state of the nervous system, but having fallen in love, they are ready to move mountains for the sake of a person dear to their heart or to attract the attention;
• sacredly observe family traditions and rituals, react painfully if, after marriage in a new family, they are forced to adopt other people’s customs and habits;
• to the last they hide discontent, irritation and resentment, which affects the state of the stomach and intestines;
• sexual potential is revealed only in complete trust in the partner with a sense of security and control over the situation;
• complexes are hidden under feigned bravado and a deliberate demonstration of behavior free from dogmas;
• weak, sick, helpless partners seem to them to be a suitable option in order to feel strong and needed, however, the carriers of Mars in Cancer really know how to give loved ones a feeling of desire and uniqueness;

Mars in feminine and masculine chart

The owner of the red planet in Cancer has been trying all his life to overcome congenital cowardice, choosing an emphatically male hobby – boxing, fishing, collecting weapons, car racing. However, on the inside, he is strongly focused on home life with his beloved woman and children.

He loves to cook gourmet dishes, come up with romantic surprises, perfectly understands female psychology and, if desired, quickly finds the key to the heart, if only he dares to use it. The fear of being rejected prompts him to jealously follow his beloved in order to prevent possible betrayal, and his infantilism of character – to transfer the blame for mistakes in relationships on her, which often puts a completely successful marriage at risk. A confident and calm Venus in Taurus, Capricorn or romantic Venus in Pisces suits the carrier of Mars in Cancer.

The expectation of a handsome prince, kind, sensitive and understanding, as if descended from the pages of romance novels, keeps the girl with Mars in Cancer from early marriage and prevents her from taking a sober look at real fans. She wants to meet a strong, muscular handsome man with a gentle, quivering heart, with which she can merge body and soul together. Since such specimens are rare, she is lonely for a long time, which has a bad effect on her character, provoking aggressiveness, tearfulness and absurdity. In this case, active engagement in creativity and sports helps. The best union awaits with a man with a similar position of Mars in Cancer, Libra or Taurus.

Important aspects with planets

Any connection of the red planet with the ruler of Cancer Moon strongly affects the character and fate of the native. Trine and sextile give the ability to manage strong psychic energy, direct feelings towards creation, strengthen attachment to mother and wife. At the same time, such people are bored to live without strong emotions, they themselves provoke scandals, are tormented by suspicions, so if one of the planets falls into the 4th sector of the horoscope,  they need not sit at home, but lead an active lifestyle.

The opposition of Mars and the Moon speaks of the complex and hot-tempered nature of the mother, which affected the psyche of such natives. They easily fall into anger and, without thinking, aggravate any disrespect for themselves, up to and including assault in the family. This situation is mitigated by positive aspects with Venus, Jupiter and Saturn.
