Mars just moved into Cancer, and will have an extended stay there from October 20th all the way until June 6th, 2025 - because of a retrograde happening in December. Mars doesn’t go retrograde every year, so when it does, it brings some major issues for review.
Mars is the planet of action, ambition, and drive. It’s often called the planet of war, symbolizing how we go after what we want and how we handle challenges. The sign of Cancer represents emotions, nurturing, and sensitivity. When Mars is in Cancer, there’s a blending of drive and emotion. While Mars in Cancer is considered ‘debilitated’ or weaker, it’s really more about emotional intelligence and being strategic.
For example, famous athletes like Michael Jordan and Hulk Hogan have Mars in Cancer, and we can see that they used emotional intelligence to navigate their careers successfully. It’s not about being aggressive for the sake of it; it’s about knowing when and how to act, using your emotions to empower your actions.
