William Shatner’s birth chart
Mars in Cancer
22 March 1931, 04:00, Montreal, Canada
A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to William 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 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 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’.
