Mars in Cancer in the First 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 白羊座. 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.

不安全感

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 1st House:

Mars rules the 1st House and, thus, Mars in the 1st House suggests that you have a strong desire/action function. With Mars in the 1st House, if you have a confident sense of self and a clear identity, then your desires are likely to be expressed through that identity and you are likely to take assertive action in order to fulfill your desires.

As an individual with Mars in the 1st House, desire and action also may help to shape your identity. What you desire may be reflected in your self-image and the actions that you take in response to these desires may define your identity, both to yourself and to others.

With Mars in the 1st House, you are generally not shy about acting on your own behalf or asserting your own desires and wishes. The self-confidence that you project through your actions often leads to respect and admiration from others. You may particularly be seen as an individual of action.

Having Mars in the 1st House, it may be easy for you to act and pursue your desires, because you tend to do so from a standpoint of innocence or naiveté – that is, secondary considerations or inhibitions that may result from your contemplating the effect your actions may have on others tend not to occur. Thus, you may take and express much freedom of action.

不安全感

As an individual with Mars in the 1st House, if you are inwardly insecure, you will not know your authentic self. You are, therefore, constantly proving your identity by asserting yourself and your personality, especially through your actions. With Mars in the 1st House, you have no control over your desires, but you feel a right to pursue whatever you want without consideration for others.

Having Mars in the 1st House, if you are not taking action, particularly if you are not asserting yourself in some way, you are likely to feel vulnerable and empty. Others may consider you to be pushy or too aggressive, or even anti-social in your behavior. However, you consider that such behavior establishes your identity and gains you the respect of others.

欲望的焦点

With Mars in the 1st House, your desires are likely to be highly personal. At times, it may appear – or be the case – that your desires are self-centered. Your desires are likely to strongly reflect your own self-identity. This is so because, with Mars in the 1st House, the focus of your desires is to establish your identity and have a strong presence. For some, this focus becomes a desire to know yourself.
