Mars in Cancer
You avoid direct confrontations with others, preferring to side-step
issues or attack them indirectly. Aggressive, competitive behavior
makes you uncomfortable. Your ego drive is not very strong and you
are not especially ambitious or eager to push your way to the top.
Inner satisfaction is more important to you. You may feel inadequate
in situations that call for strong, forceful action. But, when you
feel your loved ones or your family or anyone you really care about is
being threatened, then you will fight and defend with all the tenacity
in the world. That brings out the very strong protective side in you.
Impulse and instinct take over and you will battle until the end, if
needed. Your goals and actions tend to center around your family and
loved ones and they are very personal. Great sacrifices can be made
for them, even though they may be in the wrong. Being sensitive to
stress, you do not handle high-pressure, competitive situations very
well. You can be very touchy, moody, irritable and difficult to be
around when there are many demands or tensions at work. Your energy
level is not constant and is very dependent on your emotional state at
the time, especially as regards your emotional harmony or discord at
home. You should avoid eating when emotionally upset as this plays
havoc with your digestive system.
You are hard-working, sympathetic, moody, defensive, tenacious,
intuitive, instinctive, sensitive, and perhaps over-emotional. Control
of your emotions is important to your health and well-being.
