What Does Mars in Cancer Mean?

With Mars in Cancer, aggression moves sideways like the crab — these people rarely attack head-on, but threaten what they love and you will discover a ferocity that takes no prisoners. Their drive is tidal, rising and falling with emotion: when the cause touches their heart they can outwork anyone, and when it doesn't, no force on earth moves them. Anger tends to be held in, brooded over and released at strange angles — the slammed cupboard, the sudden cold silence. Their true genius is protective action: fighting for home, family and the vulnerable, they are unbeatable.
