I think you should be very proud of your moon in Cancer! That's the best placement for this luminary since the moon is actually dignified in Cancer. You were blessed with a knack for feeling emotion on a really empathic level. I think the reason you're a little uneasy with some of the qualities that come with this is because of the "detatched" nature of your Venus in Aquarius. (I have the same venus placement!)

So that you can see what I mean, here's something I found about both placements. You'll see how they're so different in nature that it might give you those conflicting feelings:

"The Moon in Cancer adds great depth, sensitivity and intensity to your feeling nature. You have a sociable, adaptable, imaginative, emotional and changeable temperament. There is some ability for acting, music, painting or poetry. Some leaning towards mediumship or mysticism is likely. Domestic, family and home life will be important to your emotional well-being. Swimming and other water pursuits will have therapeutic effects upon your nature."

"Venus in Aquarius indicates an independent, non-traditional approach to romantic and social affairs. A magnetic, original, sparkling, glamorous and effervescent nature makes you socially popular, with many friends. You are likely to have a number of love affairs before considering marriage. When you do take the plunge it is likely that you choose a partner who is able to satisfy your need for intellectual stimulation, companionship and variety of experience. Your strong love of emotional freedom may cause some problems in your domestic life."

and since you asked about Mars:

"Mars in Cancer strengthens your domestic nature. You assert yourself through a kind, passionate, protective, emotionally-sensitive and caring nature. Primarily, these qualities are used to establish a secure home and a loving family. Much energy is channelled into your private and domestic life. Insecurity and fear about the future is a possible negative trait. On occasion you can be resentful and spiteful. A sensuous and caring sex-life is indicated. Lovemaking is sensitive, emotional and affection orientated."

I really think the cancer placements add a nice balance to your chart. be proud!
