Mars Transit in Cancer

Cancer belongs to the Moon, and Mars counts the Moon a friend. Mangala is debilitated here, most deeply at twenty-eight degrees, and the stay runs about fifty-two days, far longer when Mars turns retrograde. This is the weakest ground Mars stands on.

Cancer governs the chest, the mother, the home and emotional memory. A debilitated Mars turns anger inward and toward the household. Effort feels blocked, frustration builds without a clear target, and property and home matters both draw conflict.

The nakshatras are Punarvasu, Pushya and Ashlesha. Punarvasu, under Jupiter, opens with repair. Pushya, under Saturn, is the most nourishing stretch and cools the worst of the frustration. Ashlesha, under Mercury, closes the stay with matters that need caution in speech.

Classical gochara counts Mars well in the third, sixth and eleventh from the natal Moon, which here means Taurus, Aquarius and Virgo Moons. Cancer Moons hold it in the first, where the chest and the stomach both suffer. Libra Moons carry it in the tenth and Capricorn Moons in the seventh.

A debilitated Mars brings up the anger a person has never spoken, and with no outlet it turns on the body and the household. Name the frustration plainly before acting on it.

Serve at home and keep the food cool.

• Recite the Hanuman Chalisa on Tuesday without missing a week.
• Do physical work daily so the energy has somewhere to go.
• Speak the frustration to one person before it reaches the family.
