Mars is the planet which signifies energy and vitality. It is a fiery hot planet which if benefic will give large tracks of land to the native and if Mars is malefic in the chart the native will suffer from temper tantrums and the native’s life gets ruined. If Mars is forming a relationship with its bitter enemy Ketu in the birth chart, then Mars becomes malefic. This relationship could be in any form, Ketu and Mars conjunct sitting together in the same house, Mars and Ketu aspecting each other, Ketu occupying the houses of Mars like 1^st and 8^th house. Due to malefic Mars, three planets lose their power, those three planets are Mercury, Venus and Ketu. With a malefic Mars in your birth chart, Mercury gets impacted which means your work and profession would suffer. With a malefic Mars in your birth chart, Venus gets impacted which means your luxuries and relationship with wife gets impacted. With a malefic Mars in your birth chart, Ketu gets impacted which means relationship with children gets impacted. If Sun and Mercury are conjunct in birth chart Mars gains strength. However, if Sun and Saturn are conjunct in birth chart, Mars would lose strength.

The Sun, Moon and Jupiter are his friends, whereas Mercury and Ketu are his enemies. Rahu and Saturn are neutral to Mars. The first cycle of Mars runs between the ages 28 and 33, the 2nd between 63 and 68 years and the 3rd between 98 and 103 years. The 1st and 8th houses are the own houses of Mars and Mars gets exalted in the 10th house and gets debilitated in 4^th house. Mars acts as a malefic in the 4th and 8th houses, but Mars is benefic if placed in the 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11 and 12th houses.

Mars is the significator of sex, brothers, land and property and rules over the animal instincts in man. A benefic Mars offers self-confidence, sharp wit, faculty of argumentation and adventurous spirit, strong determination and qualities of leadership in all human pursuits. On the contrary, a weak and afflicted Mars makes the native lose temper quickly, fool hardy, quarrelsome and brutal. Such a Mars makes the native a sexual pervert.

Mars in 5^th House

The 5th house belongs to the Sun, who is a natural friend of Mars. Hence Mars ensures very good results in this house. The sons of the native become instruments of wealth and fame for him. His prosperity increases manifold after the birth of sons. The things and relatives represented by Venus and Moon will prove beneficial in every manner. Someone of his forefathers must have been a doctor or Vaidya. The prosperity of the native will continue to grow more and more with the growth in age. But romance and emotional affairs with the opposite sex will prove highly disastrous for the native, which will destroy his mental peace and night sleep too.

Remedies

1. Maintain a good moral character.

2. Keep water in a pot below the head side of your bed at night and drop it in a flower pot in the

morning.

3. Offer Shradha to your ancestors and plant a Neem tree in the house.

Mars in 6^th House

This house belongs to Mercury and Ketu. Both are mutual enemies and inimical to Mars also. Hence Mars in this house will keep himself away from both. The native will be courageous, adventurous, lover of justice and powerful enough to set fire into water. He will be highly benefited by the trade and business associated with Mercury. His pen will wield more power than the sword. If Sun, Saturn and Mars are placed together in one house, the brothers, mother, sisters and wife will be affected very adversely.

Remedies:

1. Distribute salt in place of sweets on the birth of a male child.

2. His brothers should keep the native happy by offering him something or the other for their protection and prosperity. But if he does not accept such things, the same should be thrown in water.

3. The male children of the native should not wear gold.

4. Adopt remedies of Saturn for family comfort. Worship Ganeshji for parents, health and destruction of enemies.
