Mars in Cancer

17 July 1934, 11:30, Saint John, Canada

A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Donald 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 10th house

You know exactly that you want and also, how to achieve it (as fast as you can, because you aren't very patient). You are extremely combatative and ambitious, you spend most of your time and energy achieving success in public life, politics, sports, etc. You are dynamic and impetuous, also aggressive and dominant with great power or influence on others, that is why you have very good leadership and organizational skills and although you are not very tactful or diplomatic, other people appreciate and like you because of your outstanding life strength which you radiate.

Mars trine Saturn

You are diligent, decisive, practical, organized and persistent, you have enormous strength and physical ability and good renewal ability. You tackle manifold businesses and projects, including heavy and strenuous work that demands good physical condition. You are methodical and have good strategic abilities, you like planning and often set high goals, which you often also fulfill, because they are clear and realistic and because you are also ambitious, motivated and also strong-willed. You have leadership abilities and others acknowledge this role to you and are also prepared to follow you, because they appreciate you, all in all, also because of the actual results you achieve.

Mars sextile Uranus

You have a dynamic and flexible, sociable and playful nature and open spirit. You have fresh approaches and enough charm to awake interest and affection in other people. You are interested in novelties and technical things and often have a talent to work in these areas.

Mars square Ascendant

You are energetic and have enormous physical abilities, but you don't always organize them best and you either waste your energy or you don't have enough of it. You are extremely motivated, competitive and combative, also (self)destructive, that is why you are prone to injuries. If things aren't happening fast enough or as you imagine them to, you try to speed them up, sometimes with inconsideration and even violence, so your relationships with others aren't easy. These characteristics of yours can be the consequence of feeling unaccepted and of lacking attention in early period of life (and you perhaps feel that you always have to prove yourself).

Mars conjunction MC

You are usually an ambitious, decisive and firm person with clear goals; you know exactly what you want and you also always find a way to achieve it. You are determined and combative, usually nothing is too hard for you, you have no problem doing hard work and experiencing physical strains on the path towards reaching your goals. You don't feel good when things stand still, you don't like inactivity and laziness, you expect and demand a lot from others and from yourself. You often have leadership desires, ambitions and abilities and you try to be your own master, because you don't feel well in humble and/or subordinate role.
