Mars Retrograde In Leo and Cancer 2024-2025: The King is Dead, Long Live the King

Collectively, this retrograde coincides with escalating political battles, where leadership struggles become public spectacles, and displays of force are used to intimidate competitors back into the dark. Disputes over claims to positions of authority are likely to devolve into ugly, protracted bare-knuckle brawls.

Mixed Martial Artists and the Essential Dignity of Mars

However, less supported by traditional astrological thinking is the proportion of Mars in the sign of its Fall among the ranked Male UFC fighters. Mars in Cancer tied with Mars in Scorpio, with 17 out of 129 each, or 13.2%, both coming in at a close second place to Mars in Capricorn (18 out of 129). Mars in Cancer also comfortably surpassed Mars in Aries, which only showed up in 12 out of 129 Male Fighters. However, perhaps the most striking result was in the contrast between the male fighter data and the sample data. While Dignified Mars increased in prevalence from 30.34% and 31.15% in the sample groups to 36.5% in the male fighter group, Mars in the sign of its fall nearly doubled in prevalence, increasing from 7.3% in both sample groups to 13.2% in the Male Fighter group. The plot thickens when we narrow the data to just the top fighters of each weight class, the belt holder, and top 5. In this group, Mars in Cancer was the most common Mars placement, representing 10 out of 70 fighters, and Mars in Capricorn came in 2nd, with 9 out of 70.
