Mars entered in Cancer 5th October 2009 and likely to stay in Cancer up to 26th of March 2010. This is against the usual behavior of Mars who generally stay in a sign for approximately 45 days. The major reason of this overstay is retrogression of Mars which occurs for a period from 20th Dec. 2009 to 10th of March 2010.
 In a natal horoscope, Mars is supposed to be the planet of aggression, power, blood, Warfields, brothers, fire arms, fireworks, sudden provocation and land and building. In mythology Mars is said to be originated from earth and hence regarded as son of the earth.
As regards the country Mars confers results regarding fire, violence, bloods hade, accidents, cracks in the earth and wars. Mars can upset kingdoms and can limit the rain fall. When Mars traverses ahead of Sun, it created too much heat allowing no precipitation on the earth. When retrograde in transit, Mars changes the behavior of the rulers and chances of atrocities increases everywhere. It disturbs the temperament of military, police and dictators. Martial races change their behavior.
 During the period of retrogression Mars will have a different temperament resulting in to more number of accidents, lack of water of everywhere, vehicles and trains accidents and fire accidents. Since this all happens when Mars is in Cancer, all the incidents are likely to happen on or nearby tropic of Cancer worldwide.

Short fall of rains and temperature variations may affect civil life even in the middle east and European areas.
