In continuation to the series for the generic malefics, which for obvious reasons, invoke more fear and hence questions directed to me by people, this article talks about Mars. Mars teaches via sudden and usually irreversible lessons as opposed to Saturn that teaches via long term hard work\/ delay.<\/p>\n
Lesson of Mars is caution and patience if the lesson of Saturn is Perseverance.<\/strong><\/p>\n The bhaav (house) where Mars is placed shows us where the energy and actions of a person are and where their passions are. This can also be the domain where they will be ready to fight as a warrior\/ soldier and can be highly protective of the significations of the bhaav where Mars sits in a horoscope.<\/p>\n In this ‘Generic effects’ series, I have covered Saturn, Rahu & Ketu\u00a0earlier. Remaning malefics are Mars and Sun (although\u00a0Sun is a limited general malefic). This topic covers Mars. As always, use this liberally and not literally.\u00a0It can not be blindly applied to each horoscope.<\/p>\n 1) Mars will give good results for Leo and Cancer ascendants (and rashis- or moon sign) as it is a Yoga Karaka for these signs<\/p>\n 2) Mars will give great results when placed in the signs of Leo and Cancer! (yes Cancer too even though debilitated!)\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n 3) Mars when in Cancer is debilitated will give good results as long as its Shad bala is good and Moon is strong. This is because-<\/strong> 4) Mars in the signs of Aries, Cancer, Scorpio or Capricron in a Kendra house (loses most of its venom and becomes a benefic and Yoga causing planet). However the aspects on it and the strength of rasi and nakshatra depositor is vital to note<\/p>\n 5) If BAV score of mars is 4 or more in a horoscope, mars will give good results<\/p>\n 6) Mars is functionally the worst planet for Gemini and Virgo ascendants and causes trouble for these ascendants<\/p>\n 7) For Scorpio ascendants, even though the lagna lord, it is functionally meddlesome at best as its main sign falls in the dusthana 6th house. However in this case if it is placed in the 1st, 3rd or 6th bhaav, it will give great overall results<\/p>\n 8) A strong mars in the 3rd bhaav gives strength, courage and dynamism to the individual. However it can cause ‘Bhaavo karaka Naashe’ or destroying its own signification of 3rd – which would imply no younger siblings (especially brothers) or severe issues in the lives of younger siblings<\/p>\n 9) Mars is best placed in the 3rd, 6th, 10th and 11th bhaavs. In the 10th it gains directional strength and will gives ability to work hard, ability to lead\/ administrative abilities and makes the person a ‘go-getter’<\/p>\n 10) Mars in 6th, 8th and 11th bhaavs will tend to give injuries and accidents. In the 8th bhaav, these can be severe if other malefics join in with no benefic aspects\/ associations.<\/p>\n 11) Mars in 1st can give headaches\/ migraines and temper issues. If this happens to be the sign of Cancer, the functional results will be good as Mars is a Yoga Karaka, but Mars will nonetheless give a snappy and emotional\/ tantrum oriented nature to the person and sudden outbursts of anger as well. The individual can be moody and suffer from anxiety and emotional dependency on a person\/ object of their affection<\/p>\n 12) Mars with Rahu makes for ‘Angarak Yoga’. On the negative side this gives sudden anger issues and a predisposition to violence in the individual or an involvement in negative\/ hidden\/ shady activities. However it can also make a person a warrior in day to day life – someone who wont quit at any level of adversity and has great fighting spirit. Such people can make for great sportsmen and law enforcement personnel and have a never ending energy, especially if this combination forms in the 3rd or 6th bhaav<\/p>\n 13) Mars with Saturn also makes for a person who will face one too many adversities in life, sometimes inflicted by their own temperamental behavior and sometimes by fate\/ chance. They are hard workers in general and can be workaholics. Saturn solidifies the properties of Mars and such people can be very disciplined (opposite of lazy) and focused towards their goals. They also have a tendency to easily get into confrontations with any authority figure – be it their own boss\/ parents\/ partners or even the government<\/p>\n 14) Mars with Jupiter is a good Yoga in general known as Guru- Mangal yoga. It typically manifests in an energetic person who utilizes his energy towards good deeds rather than otherwise and are typically righteous in their actions. However Mars being ego and Jupiter being inflation or enlargement of any signification can also sometimes bring downfall due to over confidence or egoistic issues in life, especially if the mix is in a negative bhav or involves Rahu as well.<\/p>\n 15) Mars with Venus makes for a very passionate person who will put energy into areas related to comforts and luxuries of life be it wining\/ dining, romance, music\/ arts and even love affairs. Such people will be very passionate about the affairs related to the bhav where this conjunction takes place<\/p>\n 16) Mars with Moon makes for a determined person who can also be very emotional. There will be a predisposition to blood disorders (like anaemia etc) in such individuals depending on the dignity of the planets. Their mothers are usually a strong influence in their lives and they can at times be like bullies in their behavior due to mars ruling their emotions. Mars with Sun calls for an egoistic personality which is also very determined in nature (especially if forming in a fixed sign). Such people are proud, extrovert and straightforward in their actions and can have good leadership abilities if the planets have good dignities<\/p>\n 17) Mars with Mercury gives energy and impulse to speech and communication as well as logical thinking abilities of a person. They can make good salesmen, orators, media\/ journalists and accountants\/ finance professionals. However in a negative context, this can give nervous\/ anxiety issues and an overtly aggressive\/ abusive speech especially when connected to the 2nd bhaav and devoid of positive mitigations from other planets and yogas<\/p>\n 18) Mars in 4th bhav has no direction and is more often than not unwelcome. Unless in great dignity, such a mars will give anxiety and restlessness in the mind of the individual along with anger issues. Typically not good for the health and longevity of the mother as well unless mitigated by other factors<\/p>\n 19) Mars is a Karaka for landed properties and real estate. If strong and connected to the 4th bhaav and the lord of 4th house, it can give much real estate to the person<\/p>\n 20) An afflicted Mars of low strength in 6th house typically points to involvement in court cases and litigation and danger from thieves\/ enemies not just legally but even for bodily harm if Rahu is involved in the mix<\/p>\n 21) Mars in 1st, 12th, 4th, 7th and 8th makes a person Manglik – which supposedly causes problems in marriage. This concept is over rated and the overall dignity of Mars and other aspects have to be considered before reaching any conclusion. Keep in mind this makes for 5\/12th of the world’s population or about 42% of people. Obviously not all of them can have major marriage issues.<\/p>\n 22) Mars matures at the age 28. At this age, Mars will show its full promise in the horoscope – good or bad and this will be amplified if the Vimshottari MD of Mars is operating at this time<\/p>\n 23) Mars MD of 7 yrs can be a very fruitful time if a person disciplines their energy properly towards their goals. Many a times it ends up being a period when a person accomplishes many long term constructive projects of their life as long as they remain focused and disciplined. A disciplined Mars is like an army soldier- trained and ready for any negative situation which is its strength. A lazy, untrained and lethargic soldier on the other hand will more than likely lose not just the battle but get harmed in the process<\/p>\n 24) Hanumaan is the diety related to Mars and Tuesday is the day of Mars or ‘Mangal’ or ‘Kuja’ as its called in Hindi\/ Sanskrit<\/p>\n 25) Many negative situations can be avoided during MD of Mars by avoiding impulsive and knee jerk decisions. Most damage done during Mars periods invariably comes from sudden actions and decisions taken at the spur of the moment without due diligence and logic\/ rationality backing it. When controlled well, Mars energy can take a person to dizzy heights in their fields<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In continuation to the series for the generic malefics, which for obvious reasons, invoke more fear and hence questions directed to me by people, this article talks about Mars.

\na) It is 4th from Aries and 9th from Scorpio and hence in Yoga Karaka position from its own houses
\nb) It is in a house of a friend (albeit debilitated)
\nc) Unlike other planets, Mars being a young fierce warrior, doesn’t really lose its vigor every and hence doesn’t weaken too much even when debilitated
\nd) However it is vital to have Mars in a Kendra position from ascendant and have Moon either in Cancer itself or very strong in dignity (example exalted) to create a Neecha Bhanga Rajyoga for Mars when Mars is in Cancer<\/p>\n
