Read your horoscope for Mars in Cancer
Hard shell, soft belly
By September 4 Unpleasant November 3Mars – the planet of action, vitality and motivation – moves through emotionally protective Cancer. This cardinal water sign’s crustacean mascot provides clues to Cancer’s temperament: its hard shell hides a soft belly. When the warrior planet enters this moody sign, he worries about donning his favorite armor and fortifying his fortresses.
At its best, this placement is courageous and direct about revealing – and fighting for – the truths in his heart. Courage and compassion go hand in hand. But at worst, Mars in Cancer avoids vulnerability in favor of pouting, throwing tantrums, or becoming passive-aggressive. If you find yourself overcoming resentment or irritation and then lashing out, practice identifying the real needs underlying the fear. By softening your defenses and gently leaning into what hurts, you will, paradoxically, reconnect with your power – and activate your ability to go after your desires with more confidence.
