Mars in Cancer in the Eleventh 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 Áries. 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.

Inseguranças

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 11th House:

Mars in the 11th House suggests that you desire a broader field of action than most people are satisfied with. This may stem from a need to feel socially useful, a desire for recognition, a need to feel part of a group or a concern about the state and future of humanity. Having Mars in the 11th House, the scope of your activity can range from involvement in clubs and other social groups to broad involvement in civic affairs, social causes or even world affairs. Generally, you may feel that you need to make a difference in the world, or your community, and, therefore, you must take action that extends beyond yourself and your own concerns.

With Mars in the 11th House, your actions will also tend to be future-oriented, or designed to have an impact that outlasts yourself. Because of your broad involvement, you may be very busy with activities that are outside the scope of home and work. Although you may have many interests, you will generally be focused and committed once you become engaged in taking action. Because of your orientation toward the future, you may be very good at planning your actions. Having Mars in the 11th House, you are also likely to act more often in group situations than alone.  Sometimes, however, you may be reluctant to take action unless you have the approval of the group. The group, or whatever organization or cause provides you with outward extension, may become a vehicle for propelling and motivating your active energy. In this way, you become more energized and able to accomplish things.

Inseguranças

As an individual with Mars in the 11th House, if you are inwardly insecure, you will find it difficult to maintain your self-esteem without the approval of others. You have very little authentic individual identity and you, therefore, take your identity from your group involvement and from how others see you. You take action within the group that is designed to enhance your own status and draw the attention of the group towards yourself. With Mars in the 11th House, you may act on behalf of the group, generally as its leader or jockeying for a leadership position, but you are really acting on your own behalf. All of your protestations of good will and concern for others are just that. You would really not do anything to benefit anyone unless it did you some good. Your actions never go against the group’s will, for you could not stand to fall out of favor with the group.

Foco dos desejos

With Mars in the 11th House, your underlying desire is generally to outlive yourself through your actions having an impact that reaches beyond your own individuality. More specifically, you may desire the recognition and approval of some group or some organization or institution that is greater than yourself. You usually want to feel part of something that is more than yourself. To the extent that you transcend yourself, your desire will be for the welfare of the group to which you belong. The farther you transcend yourself, the wider this group becomes, until it can become all of Creation.
