Mars in Cancer in the Ninth House

The placement of Mars in Cancer indicates that you have a need to feel emotionally safe with respect to your desires and the actions that you take to pursue these desires. This usually manifests in your having desires for those things and situations that confer an emotional sense of well-being. These include things such as closeness with family, being nurtured and nurturing, etc. Generally, both the close attention that you pay to satisfying these desires and your concern that actions taken by you not jeopardize the foundations of your emotional security result in a certain cautiousness. Having Mars in Cancer, your natural caution often causes you to self-limit the scope of your desires and action. Much of the behavior and many of the personality characteristics associated with Mars in Cancer are a result of the emotional qualities of your desires and actions.

The placement of Mars in Cancer is often problematic. This is symbolized by the natural square between Cancer and Mars-ruled Ram. Cancer is the Cardinal Water sign. The active water element of Cancer symbolically drowns out the Mars fire. The active and forceful energy symbolized by Mars is slowed and diffused as it is forced to operate through the water element. Circumscribed by a wall of water, Mars may find its place boiling pots or stirring emotions.

Mars also symbolizes the animus in the psyche. Thus, if you are male with Mars in Cancer, you are likely to model your masculinity in order to incorporate characteristics typically associated with Cancer. If you are female, you are likely to be attracted to someone who projects or embodies Cancer-associated traits. For a male, there may also be some conflict between the masculine energy associated with Mars and the feminine energy of associated with Cancer. You may, in some sense, feel emasculated by being under the influence of the “womanish” Cancer energy. However, if you have a more secure and positive sense of your masculinity, this placement suggests an opportunity to explore and incorporate your feminine side. If you are female with Mars in Cancer, you may either be attracted to “weak” men or to men who have balanced their masculine and feminine natures, depending upon your own conceptions of masculinity and other psychological factors.

Onzekerheden

With Mars in Cancer, your insecurity is expressed when the active principle within you is hesitant to assert itself, lest it provoke a threatening response. Ironically, your fear of what the world outside your safe confines can do to you has only made you weak and vulnerable. Thus, you serve others, complacently, while your own needs and desires fail to find expression.

Mars in the 9th House:

Mars in the 9th House is compatible with Mars’ fiery nature, the 9th House being one of the fire houses. The outward focus and expansiveness of this house allows the action principle symbolized by Mars to freely assert itself.  This placement gives your desires and actions a direction and purpose – to experience and understand the world around you.

Onzekerheden

Insecurities of the Mars energy are most likely to manifest in the 9th House through overcompensating behavior. With Mars in the 9th House, your desire for outward expression must be satisfied but, if you are insecure about your assertiveness, you are likely to  attempt to hide your Insecurities by going overboard, especially in typical 9th House pursuits (athletics and sports, travel or showing off your “vast knowledge”).  You may aggressively promulgate religious or ideological doctrines. Or, you may throw yourself hedonistically into pursuing whatever experiences may come your way. Having Mars in the 9th House, you may also be susceptible to self-development fads. However, your activities do not lead to true growth and understanding and, instead of finding the purposefulness you may hope for, you find that there is an emptiness about your desires and activity.
