Mars in Cancer

31 August 1949, 02:00, Philadelphia, PA, USA

A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Richard 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 1st house

You are an impetuous, temperamental and fiery person who is mostly of good health and firm body constitution, but you can be prone to injuries, hits, fever, etc. Such position often indicates difficult birth or difficulties (health and other) in earliest childhood. You are ambitious, combatative and often intolerant, because of your intolerance you are sometimes unable to make compromises, but you are still very appreciated among other people, because of your life energy and dynamic personality. You are often involved in sports.

Mars in domicile

You are energetic, dynamic, impetuous and intensive, you have enormous physical energy. You are an athletic, dynamic person, always in motion, you quickly start working on planned things, you are extremely capable and endurable. You have a dominant nature, you are an authority, despite the fact that you make compromises with difficulty. If Mars is in bad aspect, you are usually irritable and pretty aggressive. But if it is situated well in personal horoscope, you are a person, who does your job well, are hearty and enthusiastic and always prepared for action.

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 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’.
