Mars in Cancer: Zodiacs to fight it out on the battlefield of love during this transit

The red, hot and fiery planet of Mars is set to enter the calming, empathetic and emotional water sign of Cancer and will be in transit from 4 September to 4 November 2024. This is a significant occurrence because the zodiacs will experience contradictory influences of the malefic planet Mars juxtaposed with the feminine lunar energy of the crustacean sign. Know the meaning of the Mars in Cancer transit for your zodiac sign.

The astrological meaning of Mars in Cancer

Cancer is a cardinal sign ruled by the moon. Its natives’ personalities are mellow in general, but they are fiercely protective, loyal and assertive in their relationships. They do not like confrontations and prefer to retreat into their shells.

When this soft energy comes in contact with the inertly aggressive temperament of Mars, the zodiacs might feel conflicted to a certain level. However, the overall result is positive, as the natives will be forced to channel their anger in a measured and mature way. Their head and heart will be in the right place, making them feel more centred.
