With your Mars in Cancer, you're a person who's driven by emotions, family, and security. You're not one to rush into battle, but when your loved ones are threatened, you're a force to be reckoned with. On the other hand, your Lilith in Capricorn reveals a shadow side that's ambitious, disciplined, and a bit ruthless. You might not like to admit it, but there's a part of you that's willing to climb over anyone to get to the top.

When these two aspects are in opposition, it creates a tug-of-war between your emotional side and your ambitious side. You might find yourself torn between staying home to take care of your family and going out into the world to conquer your dreams. It's like being a crab with a mountain goat's head. It's a strange combination, but hey, it's your combination.

This opposition also means that when you're feeling threatened or insecure (which is a common Mars in Cancer trait), your Lilith in Capricorn might kick in and push you to act in ways that are cold, calculating, or even ruthless. You might surprise yourself with how ambitious you can be when you're backed into a corner. It's like you've got a secret weapon that you didn't even know you had.

On the flip side, when you're in the middle of a ruthless climb to the top (a typical Lilith in Capricorn move), your Mars in Cancer might suddenly remind you of what's really important. You might find yourself pausing in the middle of a business meeting to call your mom, or leaving work early to go home and bake cookies. It's like your inner crab is constantly trying to pull you back to the ocean, even when you're halfway up the mountain.

But don't worry, this opposition isn't all bad. It actually gives you a unique blend of emotional sensitivity and ruthless ambition that can make you incredibly successful in both your personal and professional life. You just need to learn how to balance these two sides of yourself.
