♂ Mars in Cancer
Mars is in Cancer now, from 11 August 2026 until 28 September 2026.
Every window, computed
Mars does not always pass through Cancer in one go. When it turns retrograde near the boundary it backs out into the previous sign and returns months later, which splits a single visit into separate windows. Most almanacs quote one date range and lose that.

What this transit concerns
Mars governs drive, conflict and how effort gets spent. In Cancer — a water sign of cardinal tempo — that plays out through water means: Nurturing, intuitive, and deeply empathetic, Cancer creates sanctuaries of love and emotional warmth.
Where it lands for you personally depends on which house of your own chart Cancer occupies, which is a different question from the one this page answers. Cast your chart to find that.
