The planet Mars ♂️, Mangal graha, has gone into his sign of debilitation, Cancer. Let’s talk about what this actually means. When Mars is exalted he is in the sign of Aries, and as the soldier this is the best sign to achieve his goals of conquest. When Mars is debilitated in the sign of Cancer, he has too many feelings, he cares too much, and as Cancer is the sign of the mother, it is usually about protecting the innocent, children and animals. Nothing will set a Mars debilitated person off more than seeing innocence destroyed. They Come Out Swinging with a battle axe.
We all know the coldness and the look in the eye of a soldier that is detached from his heart and is just swashbuckling; this is Mars exalted. Mars debilitated is actually attached to his heart in Cancer, and as this planet also rules Sports, ironically many famous people such as Michael Jordan have Mars debilitated. Yes. A debilitation or a retrograde planet can just mean an exaggeration of these qualities in somebody’s chart, depending on the aspects.
Currently, Mars in Cancer will be opposite Saturn retrograde in Capricorn, and an opposition can be like a conjunction. Even though Mars is debilitated in this sign, Saturn is in his own sign of Capricorn, so this is a neecha banga raja yoga, or a cancellation of a debilitation. You see, Mars has special aspects in Vedic astrology, four and eight places from himself. While Mars was in Gemini he was giving his eighth aspect to Saturn retrograde and Pluto retrograde. This has been the underlying cause of all of the gun violence we’ve been seeing around the US, plus the recent lunar eclipse. Now that he is in Cancer, he will be giving his eighth aspect to Jupiter and Neptune, so this should produce more peaceful activism and a love for the Arts and music. So don’t always be afraid of debilitations, you guys. Look at the aspects✌🕉🐘
