Mars in Fourth House

Mars is one of the worst malefics. His placement in the 4th house will destroy all the good significations of the house. If he is associated with a malefic, he will cause more havoc. The domestic life of the native will be badly affected, he will have no house, no land, will be poor and his mother will suffer from ill health and may die early if Mars is in his sign of debilitation and associated with malefics.

If Mars is in his own sign or is exalted very good results have been predicted. He will own conveyances, lands and houses and his mother will be long-lived. When Mars'is in Aries he will be in the fourth house as lord of fourth and eleventh in fourth the ascendant being Capricorn. If Mars is in Scorpio, the ascendant will be Leo (for which Mars is a yoga karaka planet), he will be in the fourth as lord of the fourth and the ninth houses. If Mars is in Capricorn (exalted) the ascendant will be Libra and Mars will be in the fourth as lord of the 2nd and the 7th houses. All these dispositions will generate powerful Dhana Yogas. If Mars is in Aries, Scorpio or Capricorn, in the fourth house (a kendra or quadrant), Ruchaka yoga will also be formed.

It has been stated that if Mars is in the fourth, father will die early in the life of the native. The reason for this can be that Mars in the fourth house will aspect the 10th house which is a maraksthana for the native's father (being 2nd to the ninth house).

Phaldeepika- The native will be without mother (that is he will lose his mother in his early life), will be without friends, happiness, conveyances and lands.

Saravali- The native will have no house, grains, proper clothes, relations, conveyances will have no happiness and will have to live in a house not his own.

Chamatkar Chintamani- Inspite of the other planets being favourable in the horoscope, if Mars is in the fourth, the native will be deprived of happiness from father, mother, wife and children (in other words his domestic life will be unhappy). But the native gets land and clothes by the favour of the Government.

Mars in Third House

If Mars is in the third house, the native will have no younger brothers or sisters and the native's wife will be of questionable character but this will not happen if Mars is aspected by a benefic. He will also have financial gains. 

If Mars is associated with Rahu or Ketu, the native will have association with prostitutes. He will have inimical relations with his brothers and will face difficulties on that account. His wife will have a well- shaped female organ. He will have few brothers and sisters. If Mars is associated with or aspected by malefics, the native will suffer from loss of brothers (and sisters). If Mars is in his own sign (Aries or Scorpio) or is in his sign of exaltation (Capricorn), the brothers will be long-lived and the native will be patient and brave. He will prove very valourous in the battle-field. If Mars occupies a friendly house, the native will be courageous.

Phaldeepika- The native will be full of good qualities, wealthy, happy and valourous and he cannot be suppressed by any body. But the native will not be happy on account of his brothers (this can mean that he may have no brothers or the relations between him and his brothers may be inimical).

Saravali- The native will be valourous, unconquerable, without brothers, equipped with good qualities, healthy and famous.

Chamatkar Chintamani- The native will be valourous, wealthy (Wealth earned by valourous deeds) unhappy on account of brothers and relations.

The third house is an 'upachaya' house where malefics are said to give benefic results in accordance with the significations of the house. All the above authorities seem to have based their views on this principle. Mars is a significator of brothers. He is also a karaka for the third house. Mars in third is said to give ill effects in regard to brothers. This is perhaps due to 'Karako Bhava Nashaya' theory propagated by some of our ancients.

Mars in Second House

If Mars is in the 2nd H, the native will have no education but he will gain wealth. He will have Harsh Speech, hate his relatives and roam with bad company in early life. If the Mars is with the lord of the sixth house, the native will suffer from eye troubles such as cataract, defective eyesight, blindness etc., but this may not happen or the native may recover from eye troubles if the above combination is aspected by a benefic (Jupiter or Venus). The native suffer with Bilious troubles and Muscular atrophy.

If Mars is in one of his two signs, namely Aries or Scorpio or if he is exalted (is in Capricorn) the native will be well educated and will have good eyesight. If Mars is in conjunction with a malefic, is in the house of a malefic or is aspected by a malefic, the native will suffer from eye troubles.

He will also be long lived.
