♂ Mars in House II - Family & Finance
Bhrigu Sutras
Mars in the Second House
Sutras 10-15-If Mars is in the second, the native will have no education but he will gain wealth. 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). 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.
Comments-The above Sutras have expressed the view that if Mars is alone in the second house without any benefic or malefic influence, the native will be uneducated but will have gains of wealth. If, however. Mars is with lord of sixth without any benefic influence, the native will suffer from eye troubles. If Mars is in his own house or is exalted the native will be well educated. It is not clear why this disposition will also not give good wealth which is one of the important significations of the second house. If Mars is in Aries, the ascendant will be Pisces and Mars as lord of the second and ninth houses will give rise to a powerful Dhana Yoga giving the native abundant wealth, name and fame and also higher learning. If Mars is in Scorpio, Libra will be the ascendant and Mars as lord of the second and seventh houses will be in the second. This disposition will enable to have abundant gains of wealth through his wife. If Mars is exalted (that is, he is in Capricorn), Sagittarius will be the ascendant and lord of the 5th will be exalted in the second. This again will be a powerful Dhanayoga making the native very rich and highly intelligent. He will also be blessed with children.
