Mars in Ashwini 

This painting illustrates the energy.de Goya has Mars moolatrikona in Ashwini

Go-getters, self-starters, strong-willed, courageous, athletic with a very powerful start to anything, to help anyone. They are courageous souls willing to try something new. Some of the greatest Physicists of the past 100 years have this Mars: John Wheeler, Stephen Jay Gould, Stephen Hawking. There can be something of a “lone cowboy” character like Clint Eastwood or Paul Newman; it’s perhaps this same attitude that allows for great scientific discoveries. Mars might even bring competitive impetus to the innovation market. They are typically strong athletes with a strong, courageous and daring will power that allows them to face any challenge. They usually have the ability to handle fire and weapons: swords, knives, stoves, heaters. They are competitive and boundary penetrating. They can be surgeons, acupuncturists, fire-cupping, and intense activity can all be used for healing.

The brother figures, the competition and the males in a woman life are typically quick, youthful, impulsive, and have physical prowess. They are likely athletic and might also know martial arts or some of the more intense quick moving styles of yoga.

The breadth of his back is equal to the length of his face. He becomes the king of “Sahya,” “Vindhya,” and “Ujjain” regions. He has marks on his body from weapons and from fire. Lives for 70 years and then dies in a temple. Vigorous, energetic, enthusiastic, very strong muscles, endowed with the capacity for leadership, shows great and admiral skill in battle and other adverse circumstances. For the best effect the planet should be exalted or in moolatrikona, there should be no malefic influence, it should not be combust by the Sun, and it should be strong by shadbala. This Yoga in the 10th house is the most powerful.”

Chandr-Mangala Yoga: Moon conjunct Mars (or in mutual aspect): “The person deals with drinks, earthen jars, crude instruments and women. There is disobedience in the mother. One has good ear-ring, accumulates wealth (possibly by illegitimate means or appealing to the baser needs of men unless aspected by Jupiter).”

Phala Deepika: Mars in 1st house causes one to “suffer broken limbs, they are short lived, cruel and adventurous.”

Jataka Bharnam: Mars in 1st house “will cause the native to have hallucinations, his body will have marks or wounds, he will be very courageous, enthusiastic and extremist in nature; given to roving and wandering.” “Malefic influences on this Mars will certainly give cuts, burns and marks to the body; possibly from small pox or eruptions of the skin. They might fear being wounded by fire or weapons. This is not good for the health of the natives wife and the person has to work extra hard for success.” “When Moon & Mars are conjoined the native is devoid of good conduct, crooked, valorous, a trader, makes quarrels, opposes his mother, has pains due to disease. The native is energetic, enthusiastic assiduous and rash. Not auspicious for married life. If conjunction occurs in 1st, 8th, 10th, or 11th house it can make the native descent from noble ancestors and very strong. In other houses they are devoid of wealth. If Saturn also aspects this combination they will have incurable blood disease.”

B.V. Raman: Mars in the 1st house: “Give a hot constitution, courage, self-confidence and enterprise. The native will possess practical ability and love liberty and independence. He becomes reckless of danger, scorning defeat. The gives a somewhat rash nature. The body will have scars and the appearance will be handsome. The domestic life will be unhappy unless there are other favourable combinations. Abuse of physical resources may lead to ill-health. There is proneness to accidents. Danger of cuts, burns, etc. are likely.”

Chamatkar Chintamani: Mars in 1st house: “The native has danger from iron weapons and fire; mental grief and death of dear ones including his own wife. He suffers from head and eye ailments and success is denied to him despite his best efforts and lion-like courage. He will be irreligious but supporting righteousness. If in masculine sign, he will have fiery nature, will be amorous, aggressive, defensive, rash, head-strong, forceful, impatient; he will suffer from burns, scalds, injuries from falling, gastritis, biliousness, and teething problems in childhood. The native gets wounds on his body, he is strong, built, thieving, reformative, has a large navel, red hands, is impressive, brave, powerful, stupid, angry, choleric, wealthy, playful, strange ailments, cruel. Mars in feminine signs will make the native gallant, handsome, self-respecting, stupefied. He will be ugly, sick, friendless, penniless, a liar, adulterous. The native suffers mental unrest, wounds, injuries on the head, the private parts, or the part of the body indicated by the sign. Mars rules the muscular system and urino-genital organs, feverish, inflammatory troubles, small-pox and oils in childhood. These are indicated if Mars is in power. Little physical suffering if Mars is in his fall in the ascendant. The native is handsome if Mars is retrograde. If associated with a malefic or enemy planet he will have a short life, few children, biliousness and an ugly look. If in enemy sign or associated with a malefic he will suffer eye problems. Adultery if Mars is in other than Cancer, Leo or Pisces. If in fire signs Aries, Leo or Sagittarius he will get head-aches and blood infections; he will be merciless and invincible; antagonising friends and foes, bad tempered, lean, without wife and children and will be a wanderer. He is a back-biter, lean, vicious, dark-complexioned, mean, dirty looking, indiscriminate in sex and always inviting trouble for himself if Mars is in Aries, Leo, Sagittarius, Gemini, Libra, Aquarius. Unfortunate in love, a rover and obstructions to success if in Gemini, Libra, Aquarius. If in Aries, Leo, Cancer, Scorpio or Sagittarius the native has lion-like courage which makes for a good police inspector. If aspected of associated with Saturn, this mars can be very good for bribes. If Mars is in Aries, Leo, Sagittarius, Cancer or Scorpio. In Cancer, Scorpio, Aquarius, and Pisces he will have a few trusted friends. A sailor, drunkard, debauchee and well balanced if in Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces. If in Cancer the native shows industry for living and promotion. In Leo, it’s only by chance. If in earth signs, Taurus, Virgo or Capricorn, he will be cruel, thoughtless, conceited, greedy, selfish, malicious, sexy, peevish, boozy and have blood poisoning. The native is patient, despotic, daring, stubborn, aspiring, greedy, argumentative, generous, shot-tempered and arrogant; he will, however, be more sociable than other placements. If Mars is exalted or in own sign the native with have a strong, healthy body, royal favour and reputation, longevity. If Mars is in Capricorn: wealth, education and good vision result, but there will be much physical suffering for father. Mars in the first makes the native run after every kind of profession until age 36 when he will establish himself faithfully to any one. Vainly considers himself superior to others. Should be a doctor; it will make him an able surgeon; but it’s not very favourable to lawyers from the financial point of view. Suitable professions are car or airplane drivers, iron-smith, carpenter, goldsmith, mechanical engineers, turners, fitters, land-surveyors, etc.”

BPHS: 1st lord in the 1st house: “The natives will get physical comforts and physical prowess. He will be thoughtful, intelligent, fickle-minded, will have two wives, and will have sexual relations with women other than their own wife. A grand personality, healthy body and great resistance to disease. But malefic will have their effect felt by both the ascendant and ascendant lord.”

B.V. Raman: 1st lord in the 1st house: “The native lives by his own exertion, will have an independent spirit and will have two wives, or one married and another illegal. If well disposed, the person becomes famous in his own community or country.”

BPHS & B.V. Raman: 8th lord in the 1st house: “The native will be bereft of bodily pleasures, a detractor of gods and brahmins, and will have wounds on his body. If Venus is exalted here he will have good health but will still be a detract or gods and brahmins. For Aries ascendant, Mars will give only auspicious effects.”

Commentary: Masculine, muscular, athletic, strong, aggressive, competitive, courageous, quick, impulsive, risk-taking, hot-headed personality. Leadership and management skills but they can act without thinking. Strong will power, strong ego, will use force to get what they want and what they want is to win, conquer, and prove themselves. They can be passionate and act with great conviction. They tend to be more technically of mechanically inclined and they are often better off working for themselves. They after disregard the consequences of their actions and can find themselves with many accidents and injuries. The heat of Mars can bring inflammation to the whole body or just in the head causing fever headaches or inflammation to the brain. They will almost certainly have a scar on their head. They tend to have a strong libido. They will love activity.

They are exceptionally innovative, but they need a moderator, some divine inspiration.

Mars in Ashwini 2nd house

Rules the 2nd & 9th houses for Pisces ascendant.

Phala Deepika: Mars in the 2nd house is “ugly looking, adverse, devoid of learning and wealth and is dependent on bad people.”

Jataka Bharnam: Mars in 2nd house “makes a person poor, dependent upon wicked people, foolish, ignorant, cruel, and opposed to own men. In fiery sign or conditions it will inspire them to get rich quick. If 6th lord associates with this Mars there will be fights and disagreements in the family and one will have difficulty collecting loaned money. Surgery to the eyes. He will like to eat hot foods and drinks (tea, coffee, alcohol?), suffer tooth problems, loss by fire and fear of thieves. Partners longevity is decreased.”

B.V. Raman: Mars in the 2nd house: “Becomes quarrelsome. Good earning power but miserly; much money in accumulated. A good conversationalist. He will befriends evil-minded people, be unsympathetic and pick up quarrels with all.”

BPHS: 2nd lord in the 2nd house: “The native will be wealthy, proud, will have two or more wives but no son. No son is usually only seen in the case of Aquarius ascendant when Jupiter has some added affliction.”

B.V. Raman: 2nd lord in the 2nd house: “Becomes proud. The native may marry twice or trice depending upon the strength of the 7th house. He may become childless. The position of the 2nd lord in a constellation which does not happen to be in the 3rd, 5th or 7th from Janma nakshatra is highly desirable, especially if he is otherwise fortified. The exaltation of the 2nd lord of his disposition in lagna, the 4th, 5th, 7th, 9th, 10th, will fortify him to the extent of making him a yoga karaka. The native will be enabled to make considerable fortune through business of occupation consistent with the nature of the 2nd lord & 2nd house. Malefics aspects can bring loses. Affliction to the 2nd house can also cause the native to not get nutritious & delicious food, his family and children might suffer disease or disfunction, and relations with life-partner may not be cordial.”

BPHS: 9th lord in the 2nd house: “The native will be learned, popular, wealthy, lustful, and blessed with happiness of wife and son.” 

B.V. Raman: 9th lord in the 2nd house: “The native will be learned, popular, wealthy, lustful, and blessed with happiness for wife and sons. Exalted Venus here will cause raja yoga and give very auspicious effects; as will Venus or Mars when they are in their own sign for Virgo & Pisces ascendants. No planet is debilitated in this position.”

Commentary: Passionate speakers who can run off at the mouth a little bit. Good speakers.

Mars in Ashwini 3rd house:

Rules the 3rd & 10th houses for Aquarius ascendant.

Phala Deepika: Mars in 3rd house “brings good qualities of wealth and courage, he is unassailable, happy but without brothers.”

Jataka Bharnam: Mars in 3rd house “brings happiness from favours of the king and makes a person generous hearted, vigorous, valorous, healthy and very rich; but he does not have happiness from a brother, especially if this Mars is afflicted.”

B.V. Raman: Mars in the 3rd house “Not good for siblings. Liable to danger and accidents while travelling. Brave, worried on account of family misunderstandings. Reckless. Pioneering and unprincipled. Ear problems or deafness. If 3rd house has additional affliction one will have suicidal thoughts and violent tendencies. If in own or exalted sign the negative effects will be modified.”

BPHS: 3rd lord in the 3rd house: “The native will be endowed with happiness through brothers, will be wealthy, have sons and be cheerful and extremely happy.”

B.V. Raman: 3rd lord in the 3rd house: “Brave, surrounded by friends and relatives and blessed with good children, wealthy, happy and contented. The 3rd lord well disposed int he 3rd 6th or 11th indicated a number of younger brothers. When the 3rd lord happens to be Mars and occupies the 3rd the native generally will loose all his younger brothers. Saturn will give similar effects. The Sun in a similar position will kill elder brothers.”

BPHS: 10th lord in the 3rd house: “The native enjoys happiness from brothers and servants. He will be valorous, eloquent and truthful.”

B.V. Raman: 10th lord in the 3rd house: “The native has to travel constantly on short journeys. He will be a speaker, writer or celebrity if the 10th lord is well placed. His brothers may be instrumental in helping with his career in some way. If this planet is poorly placed by sign, nakshatra or in navamsha (6th, 8th, or 12th navamsha) the natives rise will be slow and beset with obstacles. If the 3rd lord is also afflicted, rivalry between brothers may lead to reversals and obstacles to ones career.”

Commentary: gives the native a twin sibling. Arrogance. Tactical, short term campaigns , lots of short trips, zipping around from one place to the next. They command small teams, leaders of small commercial enterprise, they are excellent motivational speakers and can rouse the triple. One can be very active in the media industry, sending a receiving lots of aggressive messages, finding the winning slogan. They could be an investigative journalist, they can wage an information war and with just a little extra malefic influence, they can be involved withy the forgery of documents. They will have extreme courage and extreme desires and will not tolerate anyone going against them. Their lives will seem to have an abundance of free will as they tend to make things happen. They could be involved in team sports, they have powerful arms and the ability to handle weapons. There can be intense competition with brothers and fights within the pack for leadership. Their job may be dependent upon association membership or licensing.

The media messaging activities get a bit diffused in Ashwini so that they seek to go consequence free in the information marketplace. This might mean, going undercover or anonymous, forging documents, spreading malicious rumours, or promoting misinformation. They tend to dominate at meetings and they can easily breed resentment form others on their same team.

He will be renown for his learning and scholarship in various subjects. He will live in comfort and enjoy all joys of life. He will have a devoted and charming wife.”

Commentary: Thy may seek to fix things in the education system, and they can be teachers. Technical education. The on-call handyman might have this Mars so that they are on call and ready to come quickly and fix anything the home. It can bring a certain amount of chaos into he home as well. They like to make changes to their living space. They might be cooks, meat cutters, restaurant business.

One may suffer the loss of their marital partner, have very few children, and he may seek to gratify his passions by resorting to extra-marital life. He will hate hie relatives. His domestic life will be marred by quarrels and he suffers from bodily complaints like piles. He will rule over many people.”

They also tend towards suicide. If a malefic is in the 8th house he functions as an opponent towards ones longevity that provokes to commit suicide. Virgo ascendant is most often an exception to this rule.”

B.V. Raman: 3rd lord in the 8th house: “Involvement in a criminal case or false allegations. Trouble on account of a death or bequests. Marriage is unfortunate. Career will not be smooth, victim of misfortune. Suffers from serious or dangerous disease and looses his younger brother.”

If the 8th lord is weak one may not have any serious trouble, but may not enjoy and luck or good fortune of any significance. The father may die or pass through some crisis. If afflicted the native will fail in his undertakings as he will be prompted to do the wrong thing and suffer loss thereby.”
