I figure with all that Capricorn, he's probably more emotionally grounded than your average Cancer, though Venus in Pisces may cloud his mind when it comes to love. I did hear from an astrologer I knew who had Mars in Cancer that he believed it to be his weakest aspect, and as a result he felt he was bad at asserting himself, and it was the main struggle he had to overcome. But things are different for everyone!

& with Merc in Cap, I doubt he is too into mind games himself..all the Caps I've ever met have always said exactly how they've felt, typically very bluntly, which I appreciate as well (Sag Rising). Where is your moon?

I've always said I don't get Cancers myself, I dated a Cancer sun and it was a DISASTER! They are typically way too moody and sullen for me. But my boyfriend now has the Moon and Pluto in his first house, and I couldn't be happier! He has a Leo Sun to balance out some of that broodiness. I guess it all depends on if their particular party bag of signs appeals to you, I'd definitely give him a chance! Hope this helped at all.

Cancers need security. Do not play games with a Cancer influenced person. Cancers/Cancer-influenced people can be very caring, warm, soothing, and the type of person to really look out for you. Yes, we have our moods, but we can also be very giving.

I would also say that it's the unhealthy Cancers who are momma's boys. A healthy Cancer/Cancer-influenced man will respect and love his mom and other women, and will treat women right like a gentleman, but will not go too far or be inappropriate about it.

I would also say that your Mars in Aquarius is probably going to be a problem. Cancer-influenced people do NOT like instability at all. I would say that sexually, Cancer Mars/Venus might be more shy or traditional about sex and might not be into kinky stuff (Aquarians are kinda known for that as well as not having limits and boundaries about those things). Cancer Mars would probably make a lover who makes his/her partner feel loved and secure in bed. Aquarius Mars...probably does not. Aquarius Mars would probably be turned on by something really unconventional or bizarre; Cancers might be turned on by something more normal and familiar--something that makes them feel safe and secure. This is not a cut-and-dried rule, and of course there are always exceptions, but nonetheless where you find Cancer in the chart, you find a need for security.

I would say that it's really important to make a Mars in Cancer person feel loved and to be careful with the sensitivity--not to the point that you walk on eggshells, but don't ever make fun of them or embarrass them or anything like that. A Cancer can close his/her heart like *that* if they are hurt.

A Capricorn sun guy will take awhile to open his heart, and he will be slow with affection, barring any unusual influences. Capricorns like to make sure that you're worth the investment of their time, money, heart, other resources. Capricorns hate waste. Capricorns might not seem fun initially, but once you get to know them, and once they start opening up, I've found that they have a delightful sense of humor (very "dry" sense of humor that's really funny, often with sarcasm). The healthy ones are always there for you and will be loyal. No, this is not likely to be a spontaneous person, or a spontaneous lover, but this is likely to be someone that will weather storms with you and not give up on you during rough times.

I hope that you enjoy your date and that you have a good experience!

That moon trine is probably really nice! That's a strong plus.

I totally understand what you mean about wanting an assertive, strong man..my Mars is in Aries, if I had a partner with a weak position for Mars, I'd probably (unconsciously) wipe the floor with them! :x

Truly. That's public service. You just set this
Mars 's reputation straight!
I know a lot depends on the person but still it is good to hear the good along with the bad. Thank You.
If I may ask (and if it's too personal just ignore it); why aren't you married to him? You are clearly in love with him and he clearly loves you. 8yrs is already marriage in my books. I'm only asking because I read that they value family. You're already his family, right? Hope I don't get too personal. No need to respond if it is too personal.
Thanks again!

As with any sign/placement, maturity is key. When I was younger I was TOTALLY passive aggressive and whiny. I realized that those are unattractive qualities and I've worked to curb them. Whenever I see someone complaining about having Mars in Cancer on here I just think to myself, "Just give it some time, you'll grow into it. Hopefully."

Thank you I wish you the best with your future endeavors in love.

Thanks, I usually never indentify much with the discriptions I read of mars in Cancer. My placements are Libra rising, Gemini sun, Cancer moon, Cancer mars and Venus in Taurus.
