♂ Mars in House X - Economy & Politics
Bhrigu Sutras
Mars in the Tenth House
Sutras 75-85-If Mars is in the tenth house, the native will be acclaimed by the people. If the lord of the tenth is strong the brothers will be long-lived. The native will be particularly fortunate and prosperous, he will take interest in meditation, and will be devoted to his preceptor. If Mars is in conjunction with a malefic, there will be obstructions in the professional career. If he js associated with a benefic or is in the house of a benefic, the native will be successful in his undertaking. He will be famous and respected and will commence earning from his 18th year. He will have a stout body and will be well off in every respect but he may have mentality of a thief. If Mars is associated with a malefic or is in the house of a malefic, the native's life will be full of obstructions and he will indulge in sinful deeds. If Mars is associated with lord of the 9th or 10th, the native will be installed as a king or heir apparent. If Mars is associated with Jupiter the native will possess elephants (conveyances) and will be full of glory. He will also possess lands.
Comments-Almost all the Sutras are logical and to the point and self-explanatory. Mars will give good effects in the 10th as he gets directional strength in that house. Ill effects are realised only when Mars is associated with or aspected by a malefic or is lord of an evil house. If Mars is in his sign (Aries or Scorpio) he will be in the 10th as lord of the 10th, giving rise to a powerful Rajayoga. The same will happen if Mars is in Taurus (Leo Ascendant) or in Sagittarius (Pisces Ascendant), because then he will be in the 10th as lord of the 9th. If Mars is in the 10th, he will be in kendra to the ascendant. If he is in own sign or in his sign of exaltation, Ruchaka yoga will also be formed, the effects of which have already been described at the beginning of this chapter.
It is stated in Sutra 76 that if the lord of 10th is strong the brothers will be longlived. Although the tenth house has nothing to do with brothers, Mars is significator (karaka) of brothers, and it is on this basis that the above result has been predicted.
Other Views
Brihat Jatak-The person concerned will be happy and powerful.
Phaldeepika-The person will be cruel, charitable, like a king, valourous and will be admired by all.
Saravali-The native will be very efficient in his work, valourous, unconquerable, employee of a highly placed man, blessed with children and full of glory.
Chamatkar Chintamani-The native will have auspicious celebrations in his house. He will be respected by people. Even if he belongs to modest family he will rise very high on account of his brilliant intellect. He will be like a lion (that is, very courageous).
Note-All the above authorities agree that Mars in the tenth gives beneficial results, but if the results are to be of high order, Mars should get benefic influence and be in dignity, and the lord of the 10th should be well placed as indicated in Bhrigu Sutras.
