Mars (Mangala, Kuja)

mars

How do we express our energy when we want to achieve something? This is a matter for Mars. Mars provides us with the courage and desire to express our enthusiasm, talents and passion. Through Mars we can assert our individuality and our adventuresome spirit.

When Mars associates with malefic planets – when he is in bad company – he becomes selfish, and can assert himself at the expense of others. He then becomes aggressive and a potential for violence may exist. Mars is the main planet responsible for accidents, conflicts and wars.

When Mars associates with benefic planets - when he is in good company – he can become a leader for social justice. He may defend, support, or be an advocate for others. Mars can then be a planet of integrity, guided by honor and valor.

Mars is sharp and rules knives and sharp instruments. Such tools can be used for good, but they also have the potential for violence.

Mars relates to brothers, siblings and comrades. Early in life, Mars may teach us to stand up for ourselves through our relationship with our siblings. Reflecting the qualities of Mars, siblings are often competitive, but may also defend and support one another.

Mantra for the mars

Om kujaya namaha

Sign Ruled by Mars - Aries

Aries is the first sign of the zodiac. Aries reflects the qualities of spring as winter gives way to a fresh and enthusiastic beginning.
Aries can give us the courage, initiative and energy to assert ourselves, to break through the ice, and to begin something new. Aries is a cardinal (outgoing, dynamic) sign.

Aries is a fire sign and reflects the fiery aspect of Mars. This sign has a dynamic, enthusiastic and inspiring quality. Mars is a planet of fast action and swiftness and Aries is a spontaneous and impulsive sign—much like the weather in spring. However, just as spring is a part of nature’s plan, Aries has strategy behind its actions.

Sign Ruled by Mars - Scorpio

Scorpio is a fixed water sign. The water of Scorpio is contained and similar to the water in a deep lake. Water relates to feelings and in Scorpio they are deep and strong. People with a lot of planets in Scorpio may have a hard time letting go. However, once change occurs, it can be deep and transformative.

Scorpios are often passionate, secretive, and controlled. Mars may be slower to take action in Scorpio than he is in Aries, but has a more lasting power.

The Mars energy reflected in Scorpio can see beneath the surface of things and may gain an insight into hidden resources. Intuition, a sharp intelligence and perceptiveness can make Scorpio a good sign for research and may foster an interest in the metaphysical. The power of Mars can provide Scorpio with the ability to transform and change.
