Mars in Cancer

1 August 1936, 19:45, Oran, Algeria

A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Yves 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 trine Saturn

You are diligent, decisive, practical, organized and persistent, you have enormous strength and physical ability and good renewal ability. You tackle manifold businesses and projects, including heavy and strenuous work that demands good physical condition. You are methodical and have good strategic abilities, you like planning and often set high goals, which you often also fulfill, because they are clear and realistic and because you are also ambitious, motivated and also strong-willed. You have leadership abilities and others acknowledge this role to you and are also prepared to follow you, because they appreciate you, all in all, also because of the actual results you achieve.

Mars conjunction Pluto

You are a passionate person with enormous energy and strength, but you don't always succeed in accumulating and taking advantage of them, that is why it is very important for you that you find the appropriate way to release excessive energy. You can find this in sports which you are often involved in. You can even achieve good results in sport and other areas once you learn to control the 'lower passions', such as exaggerated reactions, being too impetuous and tendency to violence.

Mars inconjunct Ascendant

You are often in a sort of conflict with yourself and this often originates from a pattern from your early period of life, when you perhaps felt that you need to especially prove and validate yourself, because you perhaps lacked attention and validation or thought you weren't appreciated enough. So you can either engage in all possible areas to find confirmation or you withdraw to inactivity and laziness, if you give up because of disappointment.
