Mars in Cancer

30 October 1945, 12:51, New York City, NY, USA

A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Henry 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 6th house

You commit to your work conscientiously and with devotion, you always set exacting goals and also try to realize them. You direct all your energy mostly to work and consequently, to validation of your own worth. That is why you are a demanding person, to others and perhaps even more to yourself and because of this, you have problems with your digestion and similar issues. You give your best in every project. Because you have a perfectionist nature and want to get everything done (and also in time), you always behave very quickly and nervously and that is why you often experience injuries, hits, high fever, etc.

Mars conjunction Saturn

You are usually a very decisive, ambitious and enterprising person who is always planning something. You have good strategic abilities with clearly defined goals, also will, persistency and patience to reach them. You have good sense of organization, a methodical and practical, yet also a very disciplined character. You have an enormous amount of physical energy and ability of incredible exertion, but you find it more difficult to relax, when it comes to in rest and/or pleasures.

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.

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’.
