Mars in sixth house

 Mars in 6^th house is like a commander of an army, asked not to lead ,but to work among the common army men .The sixth house is the place where we need to work for the higher motive and individual aspirations do not work very well here.

Learning to live with afflicted planets : A Holistic approach towards remedial measures -2

We have heard the messages from the Sun, Moon and Mars, which forms the triangle of Self, Will and Energy for its expression. Now lets explore more about the planets who exert influence over important spheres of our life. Lets have a look what subtle messages are emitted by planet of intellect Mercury ,the goddess of Love Venus and Spiritual Giants Jupiter and Saturn.

Listening to the message from Mercury:

1. When Mercury is weak of afflicted in chart then one should always weight pros and cons before speaking. Timing is also important. Giving attention to what& when you speak and taking responsibility of it will strengthen Mercury.

2.Develop a habit of learning something new every day, however small or insignificant it may seem, keep your learning graph going up.

3. One needs to organize the thought process, how? One should recognize the fact that there should be a limit till planning and thinking should go, after that implementation must follow. One should learn to think and plan within pre-defined time limits. Here the motive is not to win some race against the stop watch, but to consciously develop organized thinking that is capable of giving results.

Learning to live with afflicted planets: A Holistic approach towards remedial measures -1

 Rarely do we find men who willingly engage in hard, solid thinking. There is an almost universal quest for easy answers and half-baked solutions. Nothing pains some people more than having to think said Martin Luther King, Jr. These words find relevance in context of human quest to look for readymade and some magical solutions to even most difficult problems in life. In context of astrological counseling, one often look for remedies to cure the bad planetary configuration or time period. Although there are genuine remedies present which do help to dilute the Karma to some extent and give us courage to face the troubling times, in contemporary times obstacles and distractions are many to sincerely pursue any of it.

First is the lack of time which we all complain about, second and more important is lack of desire to indulge in any kind of ritual which aim to cleanse our own illusions and third and perhaps most important is inability to understand the meaning of particular remedy, like Mantra or  Stotra and unconscious unwillingness to surrender to someone ‘sitting above and ruling us’. Even if one gathers all courage and faith to sincerely follow the prescribed remedies ,often messages from planets remain unheard .Lets have a look how one can give most genuine attention to weak or afflicted planets, which should be viewed as holistic approach towards remedial measures.

Timing of Marriage and Vedic Astrology

Vedic astrology gives clear and strong clues about the probable timings of marriage as seen in one’s chart.There are multiple rules that can be stated and which can be tested with high degree of replication. Here in brief lets discuss the time tested principles whose replication rate is quite high in context of giving marriage.

1.First and foremost is the time period of planets related to 7^th house or of a planet who is actually the 7^th lord in lagna chart. Antardasha i.e sub period of such planet generally sees one getting married. These points needs further elaboration. Planet who is 7^th lord is fine, but planets who aspect 7^th house,or who are making relation with 7^th lord(by either aspecting or by conjunction) are also fully capable of giving marriage in their dashas. Planets who are in nakshtras of 7^th lord also become potentially good for such event.

Mars in 5th house

The house of our inner joy ,the house which tell us the avenues where we will find our minds hooked up, when occupied by Mars ,what are its manifestations? Lets see. Mars when placed in fifth house shows a personality whose thoughts and action shows disconnect at many levels. Such people show immense creativity irrespective of their age, but there is always a fine line between innocence and childishness. Degrees of planets occupying any house should be checked with respect to the degrees of ascendant. If Mars is deeply conjunct with fifth house ,then such personalities shows random thought patterns .Mars is all about energy related to actual manifestation and fifth house in its essence is of deep pondering, thought domain ,and we see immediate disconnect between these two aspects, which indeed can be seen in these people. This placement often gives love for sports and other athletic activities ,where you satisfy your inner instincts by giving outlet to tremendous energy lying inside .Whenever we are dealing with Mars, a comparison with Mercurian impact would clearly bring the true picture with the help of contrast.

Mars in 4th house

  Whenever we are dealing with planets such as Mars ,it becomes utmost important to judge the influence of signs in which it is placed(even Nakshatra and relationship with other planets assumes much importance in case of strong planets like Saturn and Mars, this can be compared to Jupiter who do not leave its benefic aspect altogether ,irrespective of sign in which it is placed). Mars placed in fourth house of a chart needs to be judged with extreme caution. When placed in signs where it find itself comfortable like that in Aries ,Leo or Capricorn and even Scorpio ,it becomes great asset for the chart. Such persons are powerhouse of energy, they are dynamic beings which are always ready to achieve something very big. These people will have a tremendous ambitious personality, and often their childhood memories leave long lasting impact on them which gives strong foundation to them to decide to achieve something bigger. Their desires can actually be rooted deep in their subconscious mind ,which might have connection with some scar left on their mind due to some unpleasant or some drastic event happened during their formative years.
