Does Cancer Mars give one a stronger ability to take action and face daily battles, compared to Libra Mars, Taurus Mars, and Pisces Mars?

I have a retrograde mars in cancer in 11th house while being capricorn sun of the 28th degree, leo rising, sag moon and Venus in Pisces which tribes my mars. Not sure if someone can give me a proper explanation about my mars and how it relates with other elements but never had problems socializing or taking action, sometimes I tend to procrastinate but nothing extreme. I have been very popular in friend groups and communities but lately I have started enjoying being by myself more than being with others. Super easy for me to make new friends and join groups but I think I have had enough throughout my life so far that’s why I am more of a loner by choice nowadays. Not sure if retrograde Mars in 11th has any connection with that but I would love a proper explanation from someone. I have studied retrograde planets a lot but most opinions are conflicted.

well, mars finds neither detriment or fall/depression in pisces. traditionally, it would be the most optimal placement for mars of the four. jupiter-influenced mars, especially pisces, tend to be based in divine inspiration. this is a mars looking for worthy and vital causes to fight for, willing to take action, but only once it feels truly called to do so.

planets in detriment find themselves occupying signs opposite the one(s) they rule. so said planet will find a little less ease and comfort carrying out its themes and significations. a planet in detriment is a tiny bit scattered, or out of control, and it’s forced to resort to out-of-the box methods in order to fulfill its needs. detriment planets can actually refuse to see the point in fulfilling its needs all together, choosing to ignore the “promises” it’s made. detriment planets feel they can make it big, regardless.

taurus is about permanence, it’s solid, physical, hedonistic in nature. taurus naturally embodies creation, and emphasizes importance of mixing persistence with patience when acting. but mars is fast-moving, quick to severe, brings war-like circumstances to what it touches, and will discard the idea of preserving comfort for the pursuit of new conquests. taurus feels a tad bit uncomfortable in mars, like solving a puzzle in a moving car.

libra, having cardinality on its side, is not completely adverse to taking action. but it’s contemplative nature and innate ability to equally consider both the light and the dark, opposes mars “black-and-white” approach to fighting injustice. libra is likely to ask for a simple moment before initiating war; to judge, to weigh options. but mars sees no grey zones. there’s the side he’s on, and then the side he’s out to destroy.

planets in their fall, however, have been cast out and exiled. they’re full of shame and almost want to be hidden. they feel alienated, forced to endure tragedy, humiliated, but worse of all, completely without the resources needed to fulfill their needs. unlike planets in their detriment, planets in their fall completely understand the expectations they were meant to meet, and must cope with failure.

cancer is about the giving and remembrance of life. cancer is retentive. it gathers, holds on, and can’t help but feel for what once was. cancer wants to nurture and create foundations for the life it creates, but mars is about force and cutting things loose. mars brings violence, fighting, bloodshed, and detachment from one’s roots (mars naturally rules the loss of property, whereas the moon rules the gathering of it). the moon wants to contain what mars seeks to release, and pent up emotion/energy can prevent one from taking independent stands or action. mars is not happy in this sign, so to speak.

Not really? Lol. I like to surround myself with stronger mars signs bc your girl could literally curl up in bed and watch Korean drama all day if it were up to me.

Pisces mars seems kind of similar though? I had a best friend with Pisces Mars and she would always be napping lol. It was the cutest thing.

I feel like Taurus mars could definitely get shit done. Libra mars could be a hit or miss
