Mars in Cancer

8 August 1949, 12:47, Modesto, CA, USA

A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Keith 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.

You are a passionate and demanding person with strong desires and needs. You don't like things being done half-way, that is why you are responsible and reliable in business, and fiery and committed on the emotional or personal level. Emotionally, you also do things ultimately, because you (usually) have a possessive and jealous nature and you want to be the one pulling all the strings and want to dominate. In partner relationships, you are often difficult and demanding, but your emotions are fiery and deep and you usually love with commitment and from the heart.

Mars square Neptune

You are emotional, sensitive and have strong intuition, but it is often not of much help to you; whether you don't follow it or you place too much importance on different possible perspectives, which are often only your mind constructs and fantasies or even your escape from reality and this actually distances you from the right path. You indulge in daydreaming and sometimes you spend too much time and attention daydreaming, so you are caught in a vicious circle of inactivity and stressful and depressive emotions.

Mars trine Ascendant

You are capable, decisive, dynamic, vital, fast and energetic, you are always active and in motion. You are practical, resourceful and also creative. You love speed, movement and travelling.
