Mars squares my Jupiter,
Mars Opposes my Saturn,
Mars Trines my Pluto (which is in Scorpio, no less there’s trouble haha),
Mars squares my MC and
Mars opposes my DC

I gotta say, PDF was 100% accurate with his description of the Mars in Cancer placement. When i started researching my own natal chart, i was pretty disappointed cos like this topic suggests, the consensus was that Mars in Cancer is "impotent" and a timid, meek, emotional wet blankets that has limited power to execute any action, as opposed to Mars in Leo or Mars in Scorpio. Doesn’t leave much hope for us sexually, cos it sounds like we’re so receptive, passive and absorptive that we’ll just take anything our lovers dish out..like we just lie there take it, not give it

Its not really like that at all, it could be if you have a lot of water in your natal maybe or heaps of mutable signs..but generally not in my experience.

I have to say my own experiences were of that described by PDF, word for word lol..the repression was when I was a kid growing up in a strict, greek orthodox family..one of my distinct childhood memories was asking my mum what age I was allowed to have sex (driving home from school after grade 5 sex-ed) and her saying, “When your married! Or 18” (though she will swear on her life she said 21 hahaha) and growing up as an awkward teenager and not used to this sexual power I noticing and not comfortable with, I was always so scared of sex and of the actual penis itself hahaha…as PDF mentioned that repressed energy turned into anxiety that twists up my guts to this day..i still feel the shame and guilt when I have to have past guys knowing what they’re staring at or talking about

When I was 16 I was like, EFF this..im gonna join the human race and lost my virginity in the most harmful way, it was coercion bordering onto rape and it was set up cos they guy knew I wasn’t ever gonna give up my virginity cos I was too scared and that experience probably has damaged me for the rest of my life, I don’t feel pleasure its more the act and interaction of sex that excited me..i actually get no pleasurable physical feeling unless there’s trust and emotion involved..luckily getting together with my 1st ever boyfriend 2 wks after that experience healed me a lot and since we’ve broken up, I’ve made it a promise to myself to be sexually free and to gratify whatever need I have and to shed the guilt and the private feeling of being nothing but a sex toy and a wh*re..even though im anything but

I wouldnt consider myself timid but aggressiveness comes and goes. I think it comes when I'm comfortable where I am. I am VERY defensive though so maybe the energy is more of a reactionary energy than just offensive. I dont feel like I am 'powerless' but I do internalize my feelings A LOT, and regarding the sex thing...I guess I'm still stuck at the 'unreleased' stage.

Ami Ann, what house is your Mars located in? and what aspects does it make?

"Mars Square Neptune: You have peculiar habit patterns and emotional desires that are no longer appropriate and arise from your unconscious mind. If you repress your desires, you can have sexual and/or psychosomatic neuroses, even hallucinations. If your desires are expressed, they can lead to alcohol/drug abuse or sexual excesses. You may be a sexual deviant or express it positively through creative art, dance, drama or music. Your attraction to cults can lead to danger and you should avoid psychic involvement. You're self-deceptive and often not aware of your own motivation, especially in the house ruled by Neptune. You have poor financial judgment and, if heavily afflicted, can be deceitful, dishonest and treacherous. You seem to look for trouble and are susceptible to drug allergies, food poisoning and infections. Your hypersensitivity to suffering (yours and others') can be turned into actions to prevent it. You must learn to be honest and sincere with yourself and others and, above all, to control your imagination."

I don't like specially this placement in a man, just my personal experience. Super attached to their mammas, super attached to childhood memories, super super attached to their families, they expect others to take action... almost weak or extremely sensitive and this is the last thing I expect in a man, not get wrong with empathy, they're just a bit "weak" to me, like immature boys or simply adult babies expecting me to be their mom, have had many friends with this position.

On the other hand I've met many people with this placement not only men, women as well, and they usually manipulate others using emotions to reach their ambitions. I don't feel comfortable with this kind of people, my NN is in Cancer, I don't know if it's related, but they've always tried to manipulate me, I see them as emotional terrorists.

sexually i was with one guy who had it and the sex was fine it was everything else i didn't care for (he was far from an empathetic person but he could feign it)

aside from him my mother has mars in cancer and so does a friend of mine who i on/off need a lot of breaks from

one thing i've noticed is that mars in cancer has this tendency to be aggressive and controlling when it's petty and unreasonable or a situation that has little to do with them (trying to push other people to not speak when they cant handle the subject matter) and they can't seem to handle much of anything when they should be putting their foot down and doing something

i find them ineffectual and pointless usually

i'm a capricorn mars aries moon which could be what does it (libra ascendant/venus so cancer placements square and oppose a lot of my **** potentially)

When I said they want me to be their mom they expect I take care of them, I give them things such food, comfort or paying them the attention they require. Like babies. When it's viceversa (if I need something) they just don't care and I don't get any support, they act in a very selfish way, very demanding but they don't give to others. So it's usual I cut relationships with these kind of people.

I'm not anybody's mom, so when I did not give them such things, they got angry, I don't care, they're adults. If they have mother issues it's their problem.
