Does mars cancer have other characteristics than being very emotional?
Hi Opal! What do you know, you’re a Cancer Mars native correct? Do you make your troubles known to those around? How does it manifest in your case Opal? If you did not mind sharing that to the thread, so there could be clearer understanding on all parts. That is okay if you do not want to as well. I will respect your decision.
I read that having Mars in any cardinal sign is significant. It gives the red planet strength, due to the cardinal energy.
I feel, that it gives strength as I have it in Fall Cardinal Cancer.
Do others find large strength from their fall planets, or is it a Cardinal thing?
clearly, those who are "...very emotional..."Does mars cancer have other characteristics
than being very emotional?

The zodiac completes a sidereal cycle in 23.93446 hours.
The twelvefold circle has no beginning,
but it is so-held to begin with CANCER.
The image of the Crab is feminine, nocturnal, changeable, watery, amphibian, notable, silent, fertile, digging, with many limbs, two-coloured, rising backwards, lying and of the west wind. It indicates household, travel, obstacles, water and celebrations. Depending on the placement of the houseruler, men born under the influence of Cancer are small, popular, ambitious, wealthy, travelling and wandering because the Crab and the Moon do not walk straight, lavish, mindful, public, cheerful, with large face, wide head, sunken eyes, higher lower part of the body, crooked teeth, shaggy hair, dark, theatrical, constantly changing, luxurious, pleasure-loving, party-giving, unsteady of mind, getting involved in the many activities, saying one thing, but thinking another, hucksters, retailers, moneylenders, gardeners and those who cultivate plants.
Domicile of MOON, exaltation of Jupiter, depression of MARS, it controls the chest, the respiratory system, the upper gastrointestinal tract and the eyesight, especially the left eye. It causes skin diseases on account of the rough skin and blindness on account of the Beehive Cluster. It is like-empowered with Taurus and like-ascending with Libra, tall in the Northern Hemisphere and short in the Southern Hemisphere. It is summery, hot and dry for the north, and wintry, cold and moist for the south. Cancer commands Scorpio for the north and obeys it for the south. Cancer controls Noumidia, Carthage, Africa, Bithynia, Phrygia and Colchica. The back and the first two feet are rising up to the 7th degree, the next two feet and the Beehive Cluster up to the 13th, the head and the next two feet up to the 19th, the last two feet and the arms up to the 26th, and the pincers up to the 30th.
The first 7° belong to MARS - hostilities, dangers, travel
The next 6° belong to Venus - passionate, graceful
The next 6° belong to Mercury - intelligent, trade, speech
The next 7° belong to Jupiter - good fortune, some are religious
The final 4° belong to Saturn - irregular, restless
Eyes - Mercury and moderately MARS
Claws - Saturn and Mercury
Beehive Cluster - MARS and the MOON
Asellus Borealis and Asellus Australis - MARS and the Sun
Such, then, are the observations of the effects of the stars
as made by our predecessors.

I have two fall/detriment planets, one cardinal and one mutable. But house placement is also relevant. My cardinal signs are where my angular houses are, so anything there gets accidental dignity if not essential dignity.
The cardinal planet is Saturn, in Cancer, and it's my chart ruler, so yes, it's bound to be especially strong in my life. I'm less sure how my Venus in Virgo fits in. Strong? Weak? Some of both? It's also retrograde, which is another factor. My Saturn is direct.
Planets in fall or detriment can be strengths because we have to work on them. Their gifts don't come so easily and naturally. But the planets whose gifts do come easily and naturally are ones we can take for granted, get away with not working on, and then they might become a liability.
