Mars in Cancer

11 March 1978, 12:30, Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire

A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Didier 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 2nd house

You are a very diligent, hard-working and determined person. You direct an enormous amount of your time and energy into work and into acquiring material goods. But it is harder for you to maintain what you have gained (especially if you have some bad aspects). Because of this you often have problems with digestion and similar problems; you keep worrying whether things could be done more quickly or better. You often work in sport or in the army. You have a lot of sense of animals and animal training, that is why you may work in veterinary science and similar areas.

Mars trine Uranus

You are dynamic, flexible, agile, moveable and fast, you are always planning something and looking into the future. You are interested in technics, novelties and progress, are curious, original and inventive. Your ways and approaches are innovative and creative, sometimes you are a true inventor. You can work in areas which not many people find appealing or you do something others find unusual or in some way special. You have an open and audacious spirit, others often find you exciting and attractive, that is why you are usually popular and have numerous acquaintances and friendships in versatile circles. You are naturally intelligent, extremely responsive and inventive, you usually have good coordination and sense of space.

Mars inconjunct Neptune

You are sensitive and emotional and you often try to suppress or at least hide this, so you wouldn't seem too soft, so you are often in conflict with yourself and you run away to your dream world and/or in laziness. All your actions depend on how you feel and you often work intensely at the last minute.

Mars square Pluto

You have enormous energy potential and have to actually try to keep it under control. You have a passionate, impulsive, fiery, impetuous and explosive character and such are also your reactions. You are often in conflict, because you are impatient, often tactless and intolerant. You quickly get agitated, argue often, sometimes you can even be violent. You have trouble holding back your physical and other appetites and sometimes have to pull all the stops to keep balance between what is possible and real and between what you want.

Mars trine MC

You are usually decisive, energetic, enterprising and hard-working, with healthy ambitions and the ability to reach actual results and success. You have good strategic abilities, are methodical, persistent and strong-willed, and you are also to some extent understanding of others. You value honor, so you can work well with people, although you are combative and competitive and have leadership aspirations. You are interested in ‘male’ areas, such as traffic and sport, which you are perhaps also involved in, you also have a good nose for business and a good feeling of taking the right actions at the right moment. You know many and often also the ‘right people’.
