Mars in Cancer

5 May 1989, 23:30, Tappahannock, VA, USA

A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Chris 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 7th house

In personal relationships, you are usually rather nonconformist and often even quarrelsome; you are basically looking for a partner that is at your level (but because such Mars position is actually often rather problematic when it comes to relationships, you are often found in the midst of tumultuous and temperamental love or/and partner relationship). In this sense, you actually have a pretty difficult character and are also attracted to a partner with such character. You are a dominant person, but you don't stand others being henpecked, so a relationship with you is (at least) interesting.

Mars opposition Uranus

You are fast and dynamic, very restless and impetuous, often literally charged with energy. You are passionate and impulsive, also jerky, unpredictable and moody. Your mood can change in a heartbeat, you often get upset and excited, angry and also quarrelsome, but your anger and excitement can quickly calm down. Because of all these characteristics, your cooperation with others can sometimes be problematic and people find you difficult, also eccentric, but because you are full of energy, they also find you interesting and attractive, so other people definitely notice you and those, who find your fiery and also rebellious nature attractive, follow and support you.

Mars opposition Ascendant

You are usually passionate and fiery, also fast and restless. You calm down with difficulty and are always in motion or involved with something. You are bored, when and if nothing is happening. You are not always patient and tolerant, also not tactful. You often have an unpredictable, reckless, impulsive character and react too quickly and too strongly, because you have difficulty restraining yourself and so you may also experience misunderstandings or disputes with others. Your extreme need for manifestation of power and energy, which is sometimes, unfortunately, also destructive, can originate from the earliest life period, when it perhaps developed in an environment which didn't influence you mildly and encouragingly, and perhaps you felt that you have to acquire everything with difficulty. You are interested in sport and can also be involved in it, but you have to be careful about injuries, since you may be prone to them.
