Time of the Day: Mars is powerful during the day.
Scriptures: Mars is considered the significator of the Samaveda but I disagree because this holy book is a books of psalms. And the connection between the two is not explained by any one. While Mars does have influence on tone of voice it cannot be considered to have any swing on music. Hence I think we should view Mars as the significator of the Atharva Veda.
Sphere: Some astrologers have said that Mars is the ruler of the etherworld where the world’s baser creatures dwell while yet others say it is the same as Hell. I agree.
Rising: It rises from the rear.
Animals: It is a base and carnivorous planet, hence it is powerful over dogs, jackals, wolves, cats, cheetahs, lions, red-faced langurs, etc. In fact that is why Mars has been described as a four legged planet by some astrologers.
Abode: While some astrologers have said Mars’ abode is the mountain ranges, other have said it traverses the sky. I personally feel it is the mountains where Mars resides because most of the animals it holds power over live in the mountains and jungles. None of them are birds so the possibility of Mars residing in the sky is unlikely.
Gem: Coral. The reasoning for this is not clear and I suggest that one goes by experience.
Once there was a boy who was very ill-tempered and committed many sins. He would frequently fall down and get hurt as a result of which he always had one or the other bleeding injury. He frequently sustained burns and contracted illnesses. An Iranian traveler gifted him a coral of excellent quality and the results were obvious from the very minute that it was tied onto his neck. He stopped losing his temper and gave up his bad habits. Consequently he stopped getting injured, hurt or burnt and there was no further loss of blood either.
Element: Speed is ruled by the Sun but Mantreshwar has placed this in the domain of Mars. Punjaraj says Mars is an Earth element while other astrologers say that it is a fire element. I think Punjaraj is right but Mars could have some connection to fire also. Those who say it is an air element or speed dominator are wrong.
