Role of Mars in in Different Houses

Mars indicates wisdom since Mars makes you work without thinking. The results of the work emit out spontaneously and then you are shocked. You thought about it in a different way and it turned out to be very different from what you thought.

This generates wisdom in a person. You have learnt by performing a practical experiment in your life. You have failed so now you are more wise. But if you happen to be a winner you know how it all works, you have figured it out.

Planet Mars also tells you when your fight should be in what form. It teaches you to know which is a mirage in a war and what is the truth within it, that it encapsulates.

Mars gives you the freedom to stick to your decisions. It tells you what you know after your repeated trials and error is the truth. Mars’s role ends where it has taught you to stick to your truths and facts. Its role ends where you are clear about your life and path. Its role ends when you have grown above your challenges, when you have lost the urge to prove anything to anybody on Earth.

Know the mars's house in your kundali .

Mars’s Astrological Significance teaches humans the difference between human nature and the carnal nature. It tells you a lot about your own ethics. It tells you through failures and wins, whether you would really live forward to destruction or you would expand and rise.

Ordinarily, it is believed that Mars sitting in your house of marriage is actually telling you to explore other ways of life, other than marriage and home.

Very few can listen to this inner call and fewer respond to it. However, when someone has to get married, it is then that you need to seek a remedy. If you have a Mangal dosha that creates obstruction, Mars’s Astrological Significance says no matter how hard you have tried, if you could not get married, it is then advised that you seek your own way or carve out a way.

Do not be disappointed and do not try harder each time you fail to get married, look closely, life is trying to teach you to expand in a different direction. Make that direction your own and grow in that direction.
