That's an interesting question
How would you describe a debilitated mars in cancer on the first house ( gemini rising ) in a male chart?
Using Whole Sign Houses then your natal Mars is in 2nd House if Gemini is rising
Also opposing uranus(8th house) and neptune(8th house).
Weak on energy? I heard that cancer mars is one of the worst to have energy wise.
So,
Proximity is important, too,
regardless of house system.
If your ascendant is, say, 28 Gemini, and Mars is at 1 Cancer,
chances are you're going to feel its effects pretty keenly.
Alternatively, if you've got 3 Gemini rising and Mars at 26 Cancer,
it's going to be considerably less prominent.
So,
would be useful to have info on what degree Gemini is your ascendant
and what degree Cancer is your natal Mars
Your natal Cancer Mars is more than five degrees distant from Gemini ascendantI attached the chart just in case... using placidus house system

So there's consensus that natal Mars in this caseYour natal mars in cancer is located 3 or so degrees from your 2nd house -
there is likely a movement or striving toward material gains and security with those involved.
Mars in Cancer is not weak so much as it is reluctant to act.
But when mars in cancer 'acts' on something or someone, they usually take prisoners.
I don't care to engage in controversy over Mars in Cancer. I believeThere is a specific type of Mars - Moon ruled - Mars in Cancer.
Protective, brooding, attacking and defensive - you're best alliance and your worst enemy - far more than than other martial inhabitant planets. Mars in Cancer does not kill or mame - they are more like Ursula the Sea Witch - capturing their non-conforming prey into eternal use and purpose.
They like to out play their prey and they will wait a lifetime to do it.
Mars in Cancer near 2nd is someone who knows how to hold onto what they value. Try grabbing anything from a warring crab pincer.
Even if its bad thing I can perfectly fit in that description...
Let's say that I don't act directly but in odd long-term manipolative ways, (uranus and neptune aspects maybe?)..and If I decide to act directly in a more aggressive way I must really feel and want it
