I want to hear some personal experiences from you all. Good, Bad...I know we are some hard people to deal with. I have a hard time dealing with myself sometimes.I got Mars in Cancer and it doesn't seem like the description fits me totally. I don't know if I'm even WORSE! My oh my...Tell me if this sounds like Cancer Mars... It could be my aspects also tho. I take things WAY too personally. When I get upset its nearly imposable to speak sense to me. Its like I get SO emotionally upset over split wine. My brother used to get me very angry growing up when we would argue and he would say the famous line "I Don't Care"... Used to make me livid, ending up chasing him around the house with some sort of weapon in my hand. In complete war mode lol Like to the point of life and death... Serious stuff. I have anger issues. Family seems to know how to get me angry without trying. I've been reading about the Cancer Mars lately...It says were passive-aggressive and cry babies. Why is it I'm so confrontational? I read somewhere that a lot of fighters and boxers have Mars in Cancer... Go figure. Even though Mars is at fall in Cancer. Cancer is a patriot towards his clan. When I think of Cancer Mars I think of mobster family style... “I’m in the Gotti family; my wife’s the boss” Wherever I travel across the USA... I am known as the "Gangster Hippy" over time. Always surprise others by how passionate and driven I am. Cause seriously on first appearances, I come off like I couldn't hurt a fly. Look weak, frail, not strong the slightest. Don't look muscular at all. BUT keep it on a real level that shocks people all the time. Gay male here, always hearing "Damn Allan you are one ballsy, shocking, funny silly fairy I've ever met. You really make me see gays differently." I am a Man and proud of it. Proud of my ability not to be able to multitask and my habit of leaving the toilet seat up for my friend to fall in. Do I see it as arrogance? Naw I see it as pure humor! Laughter is my true passion in life. Its the thing that motivates me every day and night. Do have some good traits too tho. Do protect my peoples that I hold dearly and protect them fiercely. Don't want to get into a fight with me...I don't fear much... Not scared at all going to jail if its to defend a friend. Growing up nobody picked on me. Had no bullies. I'm really not aggressive by nature... That's the part that confuses people the most. It seems others think I am the last person on earth who would ever fight. I am so peaceful and kind-hearted. Typical Cancer...Take care of EVERYBODY. Cook for EVERYBODY...and always have an open ear to listen to you. Really am a softy at heart. Usually hanging out by myself, in the background observing everything and everybody else. Entertaining my simple self. A complete anti-social hermit. Easy to please FLASHY SHINY THINGS! Don't like people but I LOVE TO TALK. Have 6 hour conversations with people all the time. Never a moment of lost interest or repeating the same topic. I communicate to a lot of people from all over the world. You know the typical Oxymoron Cancer traits...Consistent in our inconsistencies. When you think you got me figured out that's when I change. My relationships usually last fairly long. Probably because I got Venus in Taurus, like stability. Though I always seem to attract the type who has some kind of sickness (hypochondriacs usually). I have to go out of my way to provide. Spoil the hell outta my partners. Don't fight physically with people I love though. I am not for domestic violence charges. Even worse though...Is the guilt trip Cancer tongue that slips out one day (backed by a Virgo Moon and Asc)... And I give a complete detailed inventory of everything that is wrong with the relationship. Almost like I was building up a case... Its just I don't forget anything. Damn do I want to punish myself for some of the things I have said to people in anger... Just to **** somebody off royally for making me feel mad/bad. Cancer Mars is a cruse. Virgo doesn't help...After learning how to kind of control my anger it transformed into hurting others with penetrating words. The messed up part is I really felt that way or I wouldn't have said it. Not going to hear me apologize for what I believe in. Cursed with always saying the truth and what is really on my mind... One of my biggest flaws in life, can't lie to save myself. Probably inherited this trait from having two Sagittarian parents. What are some healthy outlets for a Cancer Mars? What should we focus on? Seems I take LONG walks when I get angry. Noise... Need constant noise. Silence drives me coo-coo. I can't concentrate without disruption. The music is always on 24/7. Kind of funny as most people need silence to think. Don't like sports at all. Hate them. Super Bowl Sunday BOO! Football is the slowest game out there I tell you...Would rather watch a tennis ball be volleyed back and forth, fighting for love over stop-go-stop lets chuck a pig skin ball for 30 seconds football lol At least the tennis ball is rheumatic. If I was to watch any sport its soccer or hockey. Would rather play poker at the bowling alley then bowl or play pool. Not a team player at all. Tho when I am forced to play sports I am actually really competitive and good. Sun conjunct Mars doesn't fail me. Cancer is just lazy... Tho I am forced to be active against my will. This is my Mars aspects: Mars Cancer 10th Conjunct Sun Cancer 10th Mars Cancer 10th Trine Pluto Scorpio 2nd Mars Cancer 10th Sextile Moon Virgo 10th Mars Cancer 10th Opposed Capricorn Neptune 4th Sun conjunct Mars I read somewhere gives my Sun Aries traits. Could see that. BUT an overly emotional charged Aries lol Thanks for hearing out my rant. Needed to express and vent my thought on Cancer Mars somewhere. Now I shut up. Thanks~ Allan IP: Logged |

Hi Allan, welcome! To answer your question.. no, Cancer Mars isn't that bad. There was a thread not long ago about it. Basically you guys aren't as weak as you're often described. Usually protective of the people you love and loyal.. which is a big thing. But daaamn, you guys can be so manipulative it's not even funny. But all in all, pretty cool placement if it's supported by other more 'firey' influences (you guys can be lazy haha).
Oh and nice to see another Virgo Moon around here, we tend to be quite rare (or maybe it's just me).

Hi, Allan. Welcome. Not to get nit-picky, but wouldn't your Virgo Moon be in the 12th, not the 10th? (You have it listed inn the 10th near the bottom of your post.) IP: Logged |

Nooo. If its well aspected it will function just fine. If its well aspected by jupiter or saturn this placement will flourish. My roomie has mars in cancer trine jupiter and sextile saturn, he's a very active person and often drags me (mars in aries) to the gym or to go jogging IP: Logged |

I am sorry about that! Yes Moon in Virgo in the 12th. See I am not as detailed oriented as the typical "Virgo". Left-handed, Right-Minded. The other day on a messaging board somebody said... "And your a Virgo Asc and can't even spell my name correctly and its right in front of you." IP: Logged |

Dang! Sorry to hear about that. You should have responded to them saying: "Very sorry. I'll try to do better next time. By the way, in that sentence, your should be spelled you're and its should be it's. Take care." That would really get to them! lol IP: Logged |

You know tho I have a strange liking for Aries Mars and Moon people. I like the way that Aries pushes you. Oddly enough I don't butt heads with demanding people. Kind of can see them as an equal. I respect it. Libra Mars is the one I can't stand. My brother, sister and mother all have Libra Mars. Trying to be all so diplomatic, while forcing their sense of fairness down your throat. Its actually pretty aggressive how they seek justice in situations. Self- Righteous moral displays thinking they are always in the "Right Light" ick It suffocates me. Don't like others correcting my actions all the time. I want to be the stupid care-free Cancer who's Bias and can't exactly explain why, but knows it feels right lol You know for me Libra Mars is a hard placement for me to describe. IP: Logged |

Possibly, but it looked to me like he'd copied and pasted it to quote it verbatim. But, who knows. lol IP: Logged |

Libra is in natural square to Cancer so, that's perfectly understandable.They'd square your Mars *and* Sun. Ouch. IP: Logged |

No it won't 12thhouser. I have never been good at spelling. Always was the first or second person eliminated from the spelling bee in grade school. My mind can't sound out vowels properly either. Definitely dyslexic for sure. Strange I got Mercury trine Saturn. Though Saturn is in the 3rd house. Always been better at Math and Accounting. IP: Logged |

Saturn in the 3rd can make for impediments in speech or writing. But a trine to Mercury is quite a good thing! Ahh, sorry to hear that! When Mars signs clash it can be verrry annoying/irritating.

When I am stressed/upset or overloaded with anxiety I workout. Running is my preferred method. Also found that taking a more proactive approach works best, I run, cycle and/or lift 6 days a week. I have an unaspected Cancer Mars and it use to be all over the place but exercise and sports (team and endurance) seems to make it happy. IP: Logged |

"I don't care " gets me livid beyond this world. I have retrograde Cancer Mars. Try nurturing who or what you're mad at through acceptance. I took these notes from articles I've found : Mars in Cancer Motivation: Action with feeling, compassion, and sensitive understanding, engaged emotions express Mars' active energy Try not to hold your anger in so much. It is much better to express it than to hold it back so that it gradually poisons your whole mood. A good swimmer does not fight the sea but allows it to buoy him up. Similarly, the Mars-Cancer person must learn that some battles are won through letting go and surrendering to necessity. Otherwise, he may waste energy struggling for lost causes. He needs to cultivate a quiet spirit, a happy disposition and faith that the ongoing stream of life will bear him toward his goal. IP: Logged |

Why is Cancer mars so aggressive when provoked? I have a strong desire to hit someone if they're non compliant. IP: Logged |

My dads a Libra Mars and I get along with him just fine, dont know why that is. We are usually able to agree most of the time. It is like okay I respect your views and you respect mine, lets end it at that. In my fam I seem to have much greater issues with my mother and sister in terms of communication. Not that we have bad relationships, that way we are just fine but the communication factor is very low. My moms a taurus mars while my sisters a taurus moon, i'm startng to think that is the pattern for some reason. I have a very hard time with stubborn people. and yeah I'll put this out there the three worst words someone can say to a Cancer mars or porminant cancer person are "I dont care." I am very put off and angered by selfish behavior. Like take responsibility for your actions ! And yeah, Cancer Mars, totally aWsome placement! =] IP: Logged |

i've got mars in cancer myself. here's something i found on some website.. A Few Miscellaneous Meanings of Mars in Cancer1. A tenacious physical body. 2. Blood rushes to solar plexus 3. Weakening, devitalizing etheric body through astral influence. The astral body is directly connected to the physical body. Loss of vitality because of emotionalism 4. The power of great devotion, especially to one’s blood family and (later in the evolutionary process) those who are considered to be an extended family. 5. Later—lots of devotion 6. Patriotism: fighting for the “Motherland”; ability to defend; sentinel 7. Hunger project; fighting for the nurturance and protection of humanity. 8. Courage in the help of one’s family. Courageous devotion to family, and to near and dear. 9. Struggle for survival; survival of the fittest. 10. Fourth elemental—the personality, the dominant controlling lunar lord ruled generically by the number four will be empowered in this fourth sign. Feeding lower personality with solar plexus en IP: Logged |

rest of em... 10. Fourth elemental—the personality, the dominant controlling lunar lord ruled generically by the number four will be empowered in this fourth sign. Feeding lower personality with solar plexus energy. The lunar lords poised to triumph over the Solar Lord. 11. Dangerous if threatened—the “Mother Bear” in defense of her cubs. 12. Disturbances and fights in one’s family life. 13. Abuse within the home 14. Strong fears and hostility—family life not peaceful 15. Defensiveness 16. Constant irritation 17. Arousal of instinctual nature; unconscious insecurities. 18. Psychological projections on ‘them’; xenophobia 19. Jealousy based upon insecurity. 20. Aggressiveness, in defense of loved ones.IP: Logged |

Emotionally driven! Cancer Mars can be highly aggressive when things get personal. It's a sort "eat or be eaten" response. Over all, I say no, Cancer Mars really isn't all that bad. IP: Logged |
