Mars
acts on the extremes - either soft like a wax or hard like
a stone. 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 he gets exalted in the 10th
house of his debilitation. Mars acts as a malefic in the
4th and 8th houses, but he is benefic if placed in the 1,
2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11 and 12th houses.
Mars
is the signification 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.
The
general effects and remedial measures of Mars according to
Lal Kitab can be delineated as follows :
Mars

and richer from the 28th year of age. He wins favors from

much effort. He earns large profits from the business
associated with Saturn i.e., iron, wood, machinery etc.

grandsons, uncles etc.

waste. Association of Saturn with Mars provides physical
trouble to the native.

them.
Mars
in 2nd House

native with Mars in the 2nd house is generally the eldest
issue of his parents, or else he or she would always like
to be treated so. But living and behaving like a younger
brother would prove highly beneficial and ward off several
evils automatically. Mars in this house provides great
wealth and properties from the in-laws' family. Mars

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

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
