Mars or Mangala is the commander in astrology. It represent exuberant energy, immense courage. It is between Earth and Jupiter. It is very small in size and is red in colour.
Humans are trying to establish if Mars can be a habitable planets, as it seems that in the coming 50 years planet Earth would run out of breathable air, potable water and temperatures suitable for human existence due to our own greed.
People with a well placed Mars are well suited for the armed/police forces in which they rise to a very high position. They are excellent administrators and are generally found in high career positions.
Even if they are not in the armed forces, their no nonsense approach to life makes them stand out. They cannot be taken for granted even one second and it is only by doing the right thing that you can earn their respect.
They are also extremely loyal people and stand for the right moral causes. If they have the Sun also auspiciously placed then there is no stopping such people from having a soldier like temperament.
To explain this further let me analyse the chart of Gul Panag – actress and a fearless crusader in her own right.
Birth Details : 3/1/1979, 1200, Chandigarh (unconfirmed)
Lagna Chart and its interpretation
ASC Pisces 16-03-19 – Emotional and genuine person but would be tested in her personal and professional life and would enjoy the tests that life throws her way as much as one can
5th house of Cancer has Jupiter [R] 13-07-38 (Exalted) – Good education and children would do well though some issues in raising them and also some legal issues though she would be able to tackle them.
6th house of Leo has Saturn [R]20-18-45 and Rahu [R]27-32-22 – Tough and a lot of herd work would give medium results and a lot of controversy from time to time
9th house of Scorpion has Mercury 28-33-37 and Venus 02-49-03 – Excellent for profession, looks, life of luxury, sophistication.
10th house of Sagittarius has Sun 18-43-31 and Mars 22-54-49 – Excellent leadership skills and wealth, along with high moral values. A fearless fighter !
12th house of Aquarius has Moon 20-30-45 and Ketu [R] 27-32-22 – Challenging as makes her very sensitive
Further Analysis
It is very obvious that despite some challenging planets and houses if Gul is able to not only survive but even thrive it is due to her auspicious placed Mars (and Sun).
