Transit of Mars in Cancer (April 3, 2025)

The planet Mars, symbolizing bravery and courage, initially entered Cancer on October 20, 2024. However, on December 7, 2024, Mars turned retrograde and moved back into Gemini on January 21, 2025, while still in retrograde motion. Now, after becoming direct in Gemini on February 24, 2025, Mars will re-enter Cancer on the late night of April 3, 2025, at 1:32 AM and will remain there until June 7, 2025.
As widely known, Mars governs courage, valor, energy, strength, determination, war, and aggression. It is also associated with natural calamities such as earthquakes, fires, and accidents. Due to this, its influence can sometimes bring negative results. Let’s examine how this transit will impact India.

Impact of Mars Transit on India:

During this transit, Mars will be in a debilitated state in Cancer, which could lead to some negative consequences for India. From April 3, 2025, to June 7, 2025, Mars will be positioned in the third house of India’s astrological chart in its weakened state. This suggests that mixed results can be expected.
Generally, Mars in the third house is considered beneficial, but due to its debilitated position, relations with neighboring countries may be strained. Some neighboring nations might create issues during this period. However, despite these challenges, India will be able to counter any disturbances effectively. Mars in the third house also enhances courage and determination, helping the country stand strong against adversities.
In simple terms, while fluctuations and challenges may arise, there will be no significant decline in India’s strength and resilience. The nation will be able to defend itself when necessary. However, concerns regarding transportation-related accidents may increase. Incidents of fire-related accidents and cybercrimes could also rise during this period.
Let’s now explore how this Mars transit will impact all 12 zodiac signs.

Aries (Mesha Rashi)

For Aries natives, Mars is the ruler of your first and eighth houses. During this transit, Mars will be positioned in your fourth house in a debilitated state. Generally, Mars’ placement in the fourth house is not considered favorable. As a result, you may need to be cautious about matters related to home and family. This transit could also influence your company and associations, potentially leading to an inclination toward unfavorable influences.
There might be some issues related to land, property, or vehicles. You could feel disturbed at home, and unexpected domestic difficulties may arise.

Taurus (Vrishabha Rashi)

For Taurus natives, Mars rules your seventh and twelfth houses and will now be transiting in your third house. Since the lord of the seventh house is in a debilitated position, this may bring some health concerns for your spouse. However, once health improves, you may get an opportunity to travel together. If you are involved in a partnership business, you may need to put in extra effort to maintain harmony with your partner, as minor disagreements could arise. Listening to your partner with patience and respecting each other’s emotions will help maintain balance.

Mars in the third house is also known for bringing financial gains and enhancing competitiveness.

Additionally, you may face difficulties in work, occasional failures, fever, or even accidents. Hence, driving carefully is essential.
If your profession involves fire, chemicals, or hazardous materials, extra caution is advised. Married individuals should work towards maintaining a harmonious relationship with their spouse and avoid conflicts with the opposite gender.
