INDICATIONS OF MARS
In Hindu astrology, Mars is a first-class malefic capable of harming any or all of its associations. It destroys by way of aggression, violence, impulsiveness, accidents, and insensitivity. It also, however, gives energy, drive, determination, and the ability to put one’s personal desires above those of others. If Mars is weak or afflicted in a horoscope, the person will lack ambition and motivation, while success remains elusive.
Mars also rules courage and bravery and all military functions. Therefore, generals and commanders, as well as anyone who has the desire to rule or lead others, have a strong or significantly placed Mars. This is also the planet of passions and desires, and has much to do with sexual activity. Another function of Mars is that of mechanical or technical ability. As such it creates surgeons, engineers, mechanics, and those who excel in the use of their hands.
The main difference regarding Mars between Hindu and Western astrology is that in the Hindu system Mars is the indicator of brothers and sisters (except for the eldest) and landed property. That aside, the only point worth reiterating is that in this event-oriented system of astrology, a malefic such as Mars causes troubles, disputes, and miseries unless it is posited in one of the 4 Upachaya, or growing, houses (the 3rd, 6th, 10th, or 11th), where malefic produce good effects.
Mars is masculine, dry, and fiery. It is best placed in the 10th house, where it receives Dik Bala, or directional strength. It operates best in Capricorn, its exalted sign, and worst in Cancer, its fallen placement. It also functions well in Aries and Scorpio, the signs it rules. The gem to wear to strengthen a weak or afflicted Mars is red coral. The friends who welcome Mars in their houses are the Sun, Moon, and Jupiter. Mercury is its enemy, while Venus and Saturn are neutral in friendship. The scriptures relate that Mars represents the 5 senses. Another common name for Mars is Mangal.
