Mars in Cancer

10 December 1960, 18:45, Belfast, United Kingdom

A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Kenneth 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 12th house

You are a sensitive person who is usually very interested in fellow man, his motives, desires and goals and you also understand other people very well – that is why you are successful as explorer and detective, in social work and medicine, also in veterinary medicine. You also have a lot of sense and understanding for those who are in some way handicapped (mentally or physically) or those who give in to fate. You have exceptional inner strength and great influence on others, but you are not very open and you often hide something.

Mars as rising planet

Because Mars is found eastern in your personal horoscope, you are dynamic and have exceptional strength and outstanding physical endurance. You are combative and impetuous and you usually fulfill what you set to do. Because you have so much energy, it is basically essential to direct you towards sport and similar activities already in childhood; but because of your restless energy, you are prone to injuries, also to headaches and high temperature. Perhaps your mother had a hard delivery with you or there were some health issues in pregnancy or during or after delivery; but because you are a born warrior with exceptional life energy and will, you always manage to have enough energy for self-renewal; it is only important that you beneficially direct and use excessive energy.

Mars opposition Jupiter

You have a lot of energy and enormous physical strength, which you don't always control well. You like exaggerating, you have strong emotions and reactions, you are passionate and often too dramatic. You have impetuous and explosive, eager and insatiable character. You expect and demand too much from yourself and others, but mostly you don't have the right and calm approach, so you are often in conflict with yourself and the outer world. You like speed, you are interested in sport and also danger, you are quickly drawn to paths which can prove to be thoughtless. Your inner dissatisfaction can originate from early life period, which perhaps wasn't the calmest and you also have this pattern later in life.

Mars opposition Saturn

You are extremely strong, energetic, decisive, ambitious and enterprising and often strive to achieve success, reputation, power and material safety at any rate. You mostly trust your own ways and methods and expect that others will also follow and consider them, although ideas of others may be better and/or more easily realizable with given possibilities. You have a combative and relentless nature, but you don't always have the right ways and don't understand other people's views, you are also not very compassionate, so your cooperation with others is often difficult. Your desire and need for power and success can originate from earliest life period, when perhaps you could in no way get or felt that you can't get validation.

Mars trine Neptune

You are usually pleasant, agreeable, emotional and sensitive, have vivid imagination and strong intuition, which you successfully use in everyday life. You have an agile, dynamic and moveable character, your movement is fluent and coordinated. You usually have good concentration and good sense of rhythm. You are often involved in music or sports, especially such that emphasize elegant movement. You have an artistic and very creative and original nature. Others usually find you attractive and often also mysterious, because you don't like being in the forefront and are sometimes somewhat reserved and shy, although you are rarely unnoticed.
