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 9^th House

This house belongs to Jupiter, a friend of Mars. Mars placed in this house will prove good in every manner to the native by virtue of the help and blessings of the elders. His brother’s wife proves very fortunate for him. Generally, he will have as many brothers as his father had. Living with brothers in a joint family will enhance all round happiness. The native will gain a highly prestigious administrative post up to the 28th year of his age. He may earn large profits in the trade of goods associated with warfare.

Remedies

1. Obedience to elder brother.

2. Render services to your Bhabhi i.e., brother’s wife.

3. Do not become an atheist and follow your traditional customs and rituals.

4. Offer rice, milk and jaggery at religious places of worship.

Mars in 10^th House

This is the best position of Mars in a horoscope, the place of his exaltation. If the native is born in a poor family, his family will become rich and affluent after his birth. If he is born in a rich family, his family will grow richer and richer after his birth. If the native is the eldest brother, he will gain a more distinct recognition and reputation in society. He will be bold, courageous, healthy and competent enough to set traditions, norms and rules in society.

However, if malefic planets Rahu, Ketu and Saturn or Venus and Moon are placed in the 2nd house, the aforesaid beneficial effects are reduced. Further if a friendly planet is placed in the 3rd house, it will also affect the results of Mars in the 10th house adversely. If Saturn is placed in the 3rd house, the native will gain huge wealth and large properties in the later part of his life along with a kingly position. Mars in the 10th house but no planet in the 5th house provides all round prosperity and happiness.

Remedies:

1. Do not sell ancestral property and gold of the house.

2. Keep a pet deer in your house.

3. While boiling milk, please ensure that it should not overflow and fall on the fire.

4. Offer help to one-eyed and childless persons.
