What Mars does in a chart
Mars describes your drive, ambition, and how you take action. Its sign says in what style, and its house says in which part of life.
Mars in Cancer
Cancer is a cardinal water sign. Water signs feel, remember, protect, and read the room before anyone speaks. Cardinal signs start things. They open each season and like to lead. Mars in Cancer takes on that style.
Condition in the sign
Mars is in fall in Cancer, opposite the sign where it is exalted. The sign asks Mars to work in an unfamiliar way, which can become a real strength once learned.
