Mars in Cancer (General)

When Mars is in Cancer people are more apt to act on their feelings.  Since Cancer is aligned with the fourth house in the natural chart it can mean rebellion against your parents (the mother particularly, or mother figures), and accidents at home are more likely, as is a sense of cabin fever.

Transit Aspects

• Mars Opposite MC (Applying) - This aspect put a strain on your public and professional areas of your life making it hard to climb the ladder of success or to get along with your boss, superiors, or mentors. Acting impulsively can not only be seen as ineffective now, but it can also put your career in jeopardy.
• Mars Trine Jupiter (Separating) - You're more apt to take risks now. You have an outlook that is both optimistic and realistic. Chances taken now are likely to turn out well.

In this case, these aspects seem to cancel each other out. However, we must give more weight to the Opposition to the MC because this aspect is applying (or getting strength) while the Trine is separating (losing strength).

Example

Mars in Cancer in the 9th House

Mars in Cancer in the 9th house of spirituality and growth can indicate acting on feelings about philosophy, religion, higher ethics and travel. Mars in Cancer and the 9th house can manifest as a restless desire to to get away, to travel, to explore. If physical travel is not a possibility, then you may explore new people, ideas, and/or cultures in your head. At any rate, sticking to your normal routine can result in restlessness and frustration. This is a good time to learn a new skill or take a class about something that is of interest to you.

Aspects between Transit Planet and Natal Planets

We must also look to how the ingress of Mars into Cancer relates to planets in our Natal Chart through Aspects. For example, in my own Natal chart, Mars at °Cancer will apply as Conjunction to my Saturn at 3° Cancer.

When Mars Conjuncts Saturn, this is where energy and drive meet stability and responsibility. You are now able to use your ambition, drive, and energy in a constructive way. And this will occur in the 9th House area of life such as spiritual growth and dreams. Cancer lends a sense of sensitivity and nurturing to your actions.

How will the ingress of Mars in Cancer manifest for you ?
