Guest guest Posted March 12, 2005 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 Welllll, just happen to have the configuration you asked about... ehhee I have a Libra rising, and Mars in the 10th...and in Cancer... It's a very kind of strange situation because Mars, like you said, is very strong, in the 10th house, but,...kind of wimpy and weak in Cancer... I've always felt two very opposite kinds of qualities,... On the one hand I feel this dynamicness, strong, love sports, action movies, and on and one.. and yet at the other time, I feel this strange kind of abstract,...compassionate nature... As a young boy, I ignored the more subtle one, and tried to be the other... Marish, football player, and the like... but whenever it would get down to it, ... I didn't have the 'killer' instinct, you hear about... Then, I learned Jyotish and discovered,...the rules and ideas assoc. with Mars/Cancer.... Then, the whole thing made sense to me... I liked being Marish,.... I mean, what man doesn't,...and also I realized it's kind of embarassing, having this fairly femaleish, or Motherly side to one, in one's house of career.... It wasn't for many years later, especially when I met some strong, virile, men, who also had strongly developed feminine sides of themselves, developed....that I realized.... it was okay, to let that softer Cancer part show.... Other things I've learned is.... Mars is weak in Cancer, which means often, that one needs to stand up for oneself more... I realized that too, that I'd allow circumstances esp. if it complicated the finer, faint, feeling (Cancer) feeling level.... I'd allow circumstances,....overshadow, me...and what was really right. When I started to practice this art of standing up for myself....I found things improved emmensely. Finally, since I've realized being 'that' Cancer part of me, doesn't make me effeminate, I've been a lot happier and more natural in career. I also, invited my Mars to leave that Cancer, part of me,...and venture out to a more natual Marish environment... Since I've done these two things,....I've been much happier... Sincerely, Mark Kincaid ps... oh yes, you asked about career.... You have to look at the broader part of my chart to understand career.... (9/4/1951, Libra rising) meant that Jupiter was in my 6th house, and aspecting the 10th house I found myself an education and Philosophy major in college, and a teacher, and teacher of adult education classes, including yoga and meditation for most of my life... However, whenever I needed to make extra money, I stumbled upon home remodeling or construction, as a back up to my, what I consider my higher dharma. Also Mars in Cancer, has contributed to accidents in career,... I've fallen 3 times, on the job, from scaffoldings and ladders, ....any one of which could have lost my life... I think Moon/Lord of the 10th, in the 12th with Saturn, didn't help! In fact, probably why my accidents were Saturn, falling accidents vs. car accidents, or running into things... ciao ps.... oh, yes, why your curiosity about Mars/Cancer, in the 10th? "deepak_vishnu" <deepak_vishnu Sat, 12 Mar 2005 17:32:38 -0000 Mars debiliated in 10th house Respected Gurus and friends, All the texts I have read indicate that the position of Mars in the 10th house of a horoscope is always beneficial to ones career. (i assume the logic is that in 10th mars gains directional strength). However if the 10th house say falls in Cancer, where Mars is debilitated, will it adversely affect one's career/profession ? Your thoughts please.... regards. Deepak ~! LIFE MEANS STRUGGLE, THE FITTEST WINS SURVIVAL !~ Sponsor / <?subject=Un> Terms of Service <> .
