What it means
Your strength appears most when you need to protect your own — family, home, loved ones. Anger isn't expressed directly: hurt, silence, coldness, a sting later. Energy comes in waves, following your mood.
The flip side is that it's hard to say outright “I don't like this”: dissatisfaction builds and comes out as hurt. An attack on loved ones feels like an attack on yourself.
This isn't about you if you express anger directly and at once and stand up for loved ones no more actively than for yourself.
How to check it on yourself

If your Mars is in Cancer
What should match. Recall your last three times when anger was strong. In at least two it didn't come out directly — through silence, hurt, coldness — and the direct words came later or never.
When it’s not about you. In two out of three you speak directly and at once — this isn't about you.
