When Mars is in Cancer, you may experience heightened emotions, particularly related to family and home life. You may feel more protective and nurturing towards their loved ones, and you may be more prone to conflicts and arguments related to personal life.
It can also cause people to be more introspective and reflective, and may lead to an increased desire for security and stability in their lives.
Mars is considered to be in its fall in Cancer, meaning it is in a weakened state and may not function at its best. Mars is known as the planet of action, assertion, and aggression, while Cancer is associated with emotions, nurturing, and sensitivity. These two energies may not blend well together, as Mars is more focused on assertiveness and getting things done, while Cancer is more focused on feelings and intuition.
