Mars in Cancer

1 June 1974, 09:39, Ottawa, Canada

A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Alanis as “you”.

Mars is a planet of physical energy and action. It rules the Aries sign and traditionally (before Pluto was discovered) also Scorpio. Mars is also one of the personal planets, because on average it stays in one sign for less than 2 months and therefore has an important influence on our personality.

In personal horoscope, Mars is connected to action, energy, competitiveness, hot-bloodedness and impetuousness. The position of Mars tells us in what way and in what form you express your activity. Mars also indicates your ambitions and the work you do, which is connected to these ambitions.

Mars in Cancer

All your actions depend on emotions and on how you feel at that particular moment. You enjoy working in peace and quiet, you definitely have a hobby in life that relaxes you and it is probably connected to beautiful things or art. In peace and quiet you create, carve, paint, collect antiques, you work from the background. At first glance, you may not radiate a lot of physical power, but are overcome with exceptional passion when you relax and feel at home (you are almost certainly a good lover), you are also a very persistent and reliable person – but everything depends on how you feel.

Mars in 12th house

You are a sensitive person who is usually very interested in fellow man, his motives, desires and goals and you also understand other people very well – that is why you are successful as explorer and detective, in social work and medicine, also in veterinary medicine. You also have a lot of sense and understanding for those who are in some way handicapped (mentally or physically) or those who give in to fate. You have exceptional inner strength and great influence on others, but you are not very open and you often hide something.

Mars as rising planet

Because Mars is found eastern in your personal horoscope, you are dynamic and have exceptional strength and outstanding physical endurance. You are combative and impetuous and you usually fulfill what you set to do. Because you have so much energy, it is basically essential to direct you towards sport and similar activities already in childhood; but because of your restless energy, you are prone to injuries, also to headaches and high temperature. Perhaps your mother had a hard delivery with you or there were some health issues in pregnancy or during or after delivery; but because you are a born warrior with exceptional life energy and will, you always manage to have enough energy for self-renewal; it is only important that you beneficially direct and use excessive energy.

Mars square Uranus

On the inside, you are very restless, passionate, impulsive, energetic and fast, also impatient, you are prone to being irritable and you quickly get agitated, especially if things happen too slowly or not the way you imagine. You are something special, original, unpredictable and you can change course or object of interest and action at any moment. Because of your self-will and impatience you often find yourself in arguments with others.

Mars square MC

You are energetic, fiery, combative and competitive, you often have an enterprising and ambitious character and you invest a lot into success and career, but you often prevent success for yourself or waste a good opportunity, because you are not prepared to adapt and make compromises. You don't have a very considerate nature, often you are even very rough, therefore your cooperation with others is often difficult or not as successful, as it could have been.
